Lost His Freedom but Won the
Cook.

Some five months since Sol. Williams was
arrested in this city charged with cutting
timber on lands not belonging to him, since
which time he has been languishing in Iron
ton Jail awaiting the case to come to trial.
Tuesday night he was brought to this city
by the sheriff and allowed his liberty on his
own recognisance,it being claimed that there
was no existing evidence to prove his guilt.
But Mr.. Williams made the best of his
Imprisonment. He had been confined but
short time before he fell into the good
graces of the cook. At first it was only a
kind of friendly feeling that all human be-
ings ought to have, one toward another.
This ripened into something warmer than
simply friendship. 1t grew stronger and
deeper and purer and more of it, as the days
passed into weeks and the weeks dissolved
into months. There was no denying the fact
that it was case of genuine love-pure I'M
allowed, unauthorized love. 1t made itself
visible in every move and action Of the twain.
1t was mutual. Then it crept out in words.
The question was popped, the happy day
appointed, and now Mr.. Williams will only
remain in Poplar Bluff long enough to be
fitted out with his suit OF conventional
black" when he will return to Ironton to
reclaim the heart and hand of the one whom
it cost him six months of his liberty to gain,
Bluff Citizen.

nearer, the people begin to talk of candi-

There is undoubtedly a growing interest
among our people in favor of prohibition.
Whatever may be said, the people every
! where are waking up and considering the
subject. Opposition only fans the flame.
Forty -four Democratic counties in Ohio gave
140, 920 votes for prohibition, and forty-one
Republican counties gave 155, PAT forit. From
this it can be seen that Democrats believe in
prohibition.

Silver Wedding.

MIDDLEBROOK, NO., Jan. ~, 1854.
Ed. Register-On last Sunday afternoon,
the 18th inst, Mr.. John Boss, prominent
citizen and pioneer Of this place, celebrated
the twenty fifth anniversary OF their mar
riage, with silver wedding, at his residence
in the suburbs of town. The festivities OF
the occasion were enjoyed by a large num-
Der of Mr.. and Mrs. Boss relatives and
friends. Among those [ noted were: Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. G. Foley, Middlebrook;
Mrs. L. Boss and the Misses Hoffman, Of
jackson, NO.; Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Masch-
meyer and daughters, Mr.. and Mrs. r.
Kaths and daughters, Mrs. Won Roden, son
and daughter, Mr.. Fred. Schwaner, Mr.. and
Z. Scharman, OF Pilot Knob, Mo-; Mr.. j.
Grandhomme and daughters, and MIR. An
ton Roehry, of Ironton; Mr.. and Mrs. Aug.
Trauernicht, Mr.. and Mrs. Knoche, and
Mrs. Buccksenchietz, of Iron Mountain; Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Trauernicht, Mr.. and Mrs. j..
C. Bruno, Mr.. and Mrs. F. Rodach, Mrs. Nj.

Block, Mr.. and Mrs. C. Oesterle, Mr.. Fred.
Maschmeyer, and Mr.. Fred. Buecken-
schietz, of Middlebrook; Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Bauer, and Mr.. Putcher, of Hawkeye; and
Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Boss, of Bismarck, No.,
beside many others, near relatives of the
family. A large number of valuable pres
ants were received by the host and hostess.
Time prevents my giving full description,
and the names of donors of the many yalua-
BILE presents, but will say they were an ex-
cellent selection. The festivities Included an
excellent and sumptuous dinner. The ia
bic was laden with the best Of delicacies of
the season, and the guests were kindly wait
ed upon, by the ladies in charge. After dim
ner, the lady guests repaired to the parlor,
to have n pleasant conversation, while the
gentlemen repaired to the veranda to con-
verse and test the choice "Havanas," that
were procured for the occasion. The host
and hostess were in excellent health and
spirits, and they spared no pains in making
the occasion pleasant one for all in attend
auce. In the evening the ''young folks" of
the town rendered the occasion very pleas
ant with vocal and instrumental music, and
other parlor amusements, etc. The weather
was very pleasant-calm, like day late in
spring-sun shining, birds singing, and all
things in nature smiling. All who had the
Soou fortune 10 Dc pIesehs oh eAiS oee1Siohs
spent the day and evening very pleasantly,
and will long remember Middlebrook's "Sil-
yer Wedding'-may it by no means be
the last. Taken as whole it was indeed a
pleasant and ENJOYABLE occasion, and is re-
garded as the social event Of the season.
And if Mr.. and Mrs. Boss will be blest with
health and life twenty-five years hence. and
conclude to celebrate their golden wedding,
they will receive many more valuable pres
ents, judging from the many 'junior
friends" the parties have at present. Your
correspondent wishes the parties many years
of future happiness. +.

Bro. Baldwin, Of the Marble Hill Herald

| Bro. Baldwin, of the Marble Hill Herald
last week made his departing bow to the
people of Bollinser county. We copy par
agraph or two from his closing remarks:
The Herald in few days will be faded
| from out your memories and its editor only
remembered as others who have been with
you for a while and then departed, only by
accident or association. Sweet oblivion will
soon have hid him away among the things OF
| wrecked, nor is it unseafaring, but is going
on voyage with the hope of finding happier
chimes. where the gales are gentler and the
freighting heavier.
treat you kindly. The old friends of the
Herald are commended to its care and vigil
lance, which we trust and believe will be sat
isfactory and upright.
We would advise complete cessation OF
hostilities "a general amnesty and a coura-
geous effort to harmonic matters materially
and politically with a view of advancing the
interests of the county. The good citizen
cares more for good farms, good roads,
bridges and public improvements, than he
does for party intrigues and jealousles, ana
periods of arbitrary domination. Strive to
build, up, rather than tear down, for Bollln-
ger county needs union, enterprise, economy
and industry.
As long as the Reflector is Democratic, as
siduous in pushing the public veal, and an
unrelenting foe to frauds and factions, we.
say stand by it and work for it, ana discour-
age all other newspaper schemes within the
borders of your county. Newspapers In
small county like this breed contention and
division, which in time breeds lethargy III
business and Improvements generally.
The Herald goes from this county on BUS
mess principles, because its manager thinks
il will pa5.
We understand it is the intention Of Bro.
Baldwin to try his fortunes here in lronton,
where, in conjunction with Mr.. J. IL. Smith,
he will again unfold his newspaporial flag to
the breeze. The gales may be sentler, but
whether the freightins will be heavier in q
county of 10000 Inhabitants than in one of
15,Ooo, is at least doubtful. However, If
there be room in this county for two success
full newspapers, we know of none whom we
could more heartily welcome than the gem
tlemen named. The first number OF the
new paper will probably be issued next
week, from Mr.. Hotson's new building.

IN MEMoRIAM.

BIED.-At his parents residence, Maple
| Grove, Arcadia, Missouri, on Thursday,
January 24th, 1884, ALEXANDER GRAY
| SIMPSON, son Of Alexander Gray Simpson
and Jeanne Cowie Simpson, aged % years
| and months.
The funeral took place from Maple
Grove, Saturday Jan. Goth, at 8 P. M, and
the remains were buried in the Masonic
Cemetery, near Arcadia.
Death came to this talented young man
in the pride and vigor of his manhood.
Unheralded was the approach of the Mys-
teal reaper with Scythean blade, gathering
his Sheaves to harvest.
Less than week before his death, he
was playing in gleeful mood with his
young brothers and sisters at snow bound
Maple Grove" home, all joyous with mid
winter health and pleasure.
A painful kidney arrangement resulted, in
a few days, in death.
Mr.. Simpson had come to make brief visit
to his mother, brothers and sisters, (his
father being absent on visit to Scotland,)
and while that home was made happy by his
presence, its gladness was suddenly turned
into grief. And still, how much to be thank
full for, that death came in that spot Of all
others on earth where death is most shorn of
his terrors,-home-surr by the loved
and the loving.
Mn Simpson was born at Muirhouse, on
the Clyde, in Scotland, in the year 1854. He
came to America, and, for a number of years,
was engaged in his profession, civil engineer
ing, with the Delaware & Hudson Coal and
Canal Company, at Carbondale, Penn. Then
he went to Demerara, South America, where
for a number of years he was oyerseer on a
sugar plantation. He then returned to Penn
sylvania and became identified with project
ed railroads, in which he was engaged up to
the time of his death, surveying and laying
out the proposed routes of the same. He
was an engineer of fine talent and much
promise; and we know the bereaved family,
in their distress and loss, have the sympathy
of the entire community.
The deceased was brother of j. c. Simp-
son, Esq, the eminent Engineer and Chief
Manager of the extensive works of the st.
Louis Ore and Steel Company at Pilot Knob.

The Liquor Question /.

Ed. Reg,ster-Please allow me space for q
| few words to "Uncle Isaac," Of Des Arc. I
learn from his writing that he Is a church.
goer, but admits his ignorance of the Script
ure which verify believe, or he would not
advocate the cause he does. stUncle Isaac
must be an old time Baptist-pardon the
seeming disrespect-like those who used to
60 to church with the Bible in one pocket
and bottle of whiskey in the other; or at
least it was so said OF them. Be it true or
not, can prove that whiskey Is not neces-
sity for health. Read LAM, 4th aud 9TH:
Her Nazarites were purer than snew, they
were winter than milk, they were more rud-
dy in body than rubies, their polishing was
Of sapphire" Also, Isaiah, andl1. Ihave
known men who had been ''total abstainerso
through life, who were healthy in both soul
and body, thing which cannot be said OF
the drunkard. In reference to the soul, you
say ''if saloon is properly kept no harm can
come of It," must agree with you there.
l have studied and studied how to keep them
properly, and my honest conviction and final
conclusion is, keep them closed. You say
"a man that is gentleman will be q gen.
tleman, drunk or SOBER" etc. stUncle
Isaac" can you see any synonymy between
the words gentleman and drunkards viii
the widows and orphans get that five thous-
and dollars revenue? No! What is five
thousand dollars compared to the expenses
of our jails, poor houses, aud penitentiaries,
which all, if not direct, are indirect results
Of the use of spirituous liquors? The mod

f1uence, than the drunkard; young man
will say, "Mr. A. drinks moderately, and it
doesn't hurt him; why can't do the samer'
He drinks and becomes drunkard. No
man thinks of becoming drunkard when he
first begins to drink. It is dangerous thing
to tamper with. You ask, "what is more
pleasant than to call on a friend to spend the
night, and, before breakfast to hand around
wine glass Of wine or whiskey toddyY" I
would say, with many more, to read the 35th
chapter of Jer., sing hymn and have short
appropriate prayer. That whiskey will be
used through all time is no proof of its being
right to use it at any time. There is only
one safe way for not becoming drunkard,
that is, "taste not, touch not, handle not"
hope that the young men of our land may
heed this last injunction. I have been
prompted by pure motives to give the above
thought, and can truly say that am
