From Des Arc.

Dies ARC, Mo-, March 30th, 1884. D
Ed. Register will only have a few
| words to say this time, as it is late and am
getting sleepy.
We had preaching to-day by Rev. Myrick,
of Piedmont.
1 attended sabbath school to-day, for the
first time sinse Christmas. Sorry to say,
there was very small attendance, and
think the cause is this: the Sunday school
here has been running continually, without
any vacation or rest, for eight or ten years,
and the children have become tired. If they
would stop, say, from the LIST of January to
the LIST Of March, or April, they would find
they would have crowded house, and the
school would liven up. For, call work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy" So, super
intendent, try my plan, and you will find it
will work well. All schools ought to have a
vacation or rest.
Our esteemed friend, E. W. Graves, at
tended the Republican Convention at Iron
ton yesterday. He is good fellow. Sorry
to see him in such bad company. Hope he
came out without skinned nose. 1 also
saw DR.. May on his way. He looked lone
some, or, in other words, like stray dog.
"Barkis," at Annapolis, says that visited
that town, and did not take "smile." He
must remember that because he takes one il
no reason that others are compelled to; be-
sides, "Uncle Isaac" can take it or let it
alone.
I shall keep away from Annapolis In
future, for they buried young Palmer last
Friday night, and they might serve me the
same way. think "Barkis" had hand in
that. Go for him, Palmer!
There is considerable sickness in and
around Des Are, which keeps DR.. Clarkson
in the saddle night aud day.
A subscription school commences here OH
the 1st of the month, by Miss Wiedman, of
Piedmont.
Doc. Toney passed through here yesterday,
to see Mr.. Stokely, near Brunot, who is very
sick.
The measles are seen in and around us,
but none fatal as yet. The weather is fine,
and farmers are busy sowing oats and pIow-
ing for corn, &c. ISAAC

to be the delegates to the sedalia Conven-
ton.
1t was voted that the delegates to the Sc

Prox.

Railroad Racket.

The night passenger trains on the Belmont
branch are again abandoned until further
notice, on account of high water.
Mr.. S. B. Fraser, the railroad agent at Pr
lot Knob has been quite sick for the last few
days, with bilious fever.
Mr.. F. A. Kearns, travelling auditor, spent
last Monday at this place, and expressed
himself well satisfied with the business done
at this station.
A gentleman informs us that the Vulcan
Steel Works, at st. Louis, are being torn
down, preparatory to moving them to IRON
ton. Can this be true!
The long talked of road crossing over the
intersection of Valley and Main streets is
completed and paid for-costing the railroad
company about fifty dollars. Now, let us
"bury the Ratchet" and dwell in peace.
The north end Of our city is improving
rapidly. The "Hotcl Riley" has just been
completed. The "Hancock House" is in a
fair way of completion, and Mr.. Rasher is
building an addition to his house.
Mr.. S. Weast has purchased house and
lot of Mr.. Salsberry, and has settled down
for good.
I am afraid we have offended the city
"bosses" by finding fault with the street
lamps; consequently, we are now left in total
darkness.
Z. w. Graves and wife, of Des Arc, were
in town Saturday and Sunday. We hope
they enjoyed themselves.
Mrs. E. NJ. Carver returned to her home
at De Soto, last Thursday.
Mrs. W. p. Toney, Of Piedmont, is visiting
her mother, Mrs. Grafton, at this place.
Mr.. A. II. Allen, formerly resident Of
Ironton, but now of Meadville. Mo-, was in
town last week, and looks rs natural as
"pig-track."
The next thing in order is a circus. We
expect AIr. Doris advertising car here in y
few days.
John "Crackerneck," night operator at
Hogan, is laying OF on account Of sickness.

Tunnel Driftings.

! Will Amelung became the happy dad Of /,
fine large boy on the 9th ult. All are vel
and doing well.
Tunnel, and he is pushing considerable
lot of ore of the finest quality.
It takes fifty men and boys to run the drill
sharpening and general blacksmith business
on Pilot Knob. Bob T. Is the foreman over
all the smiths.
Bill Killing, the gentlemanly and ever pc.
lite Tunnel Boss of No. 2, can always be
seen at his post, hustling the ore cars and
boys around promiscuously.
Since Capt. Birtley took charge of Pilot
Knob there has not been a pound of rock run
out on the dump. So you see there is moth
ing handled but simon-pure. The Captain
means business.
Capt. Birtley has had y large addition built
on to the old electric light shop. Now, if
you go into Ben's shop, you must not think
you are in Brush's Electric Factory, at Cleve-
land, Ohio, for you are not; it is the same
old placc-only got a new end.
overheard some of the p. X. band boys
Saturday night talking like No. 3 Tunnel
would discontinue work for week or so,
to remove the "cow- catchers" off the slopes.
Now, don't exactly understand what is
meant by "cow -catchers," but expect it is
some miners phrase.
viii. Amelung, the boss machinist on the
hill, has 81 air-drills to look after, and says
that he expects to put 10 more on shortly;
for they are going to commence laying an
air pipe to the shaft, and thence around
the west side of the hill, where they have
two tunnels that are now in
some distance. The ore is of the finest quail
ity. 1t is very soft. You can crush some Of
the humps to fine powder, with your hand.
Joe Bellum, somewhat known to your
readers in the past as rather wild, and full of
fight as rooster, has settled down and is en-
titled to good word. Six months ago he
went into the blacksmith shop on the hill as
a helper, and such has been his rapid pro-
gress, and so greatly are his natural talents
in the trade, that he has just been given one
Of the most trying positions in the shop; ma
chinist blacksmith. Good for him, and I
hope hereafter when his name goes into the |
REGISTER it will be a credit to him, instead |
Of chronicle as to dollars and cents Of fine. |
