The negro who was shot through the
left lung in "Hell's lIalf-Acre" about two
weeks ago, is able to be up. Doctors
Duringcr and Cooper, who attended him,
say it is one of the most remarkable cases
on record. The ball entered near the
nipple, passing through the left lung, and
was extracted from his back. Nine
cases out of ten the wound would have
resulted fatally.

From GoodWater.

GOODwATER, Mo-, March 9Th, 1885.
Ed. Register.-The beautiful weather of
the past week has infused renewed energy
into most of us In this part of Goods moral
vineyard" After the almost absolute idle
ness that was enforced npon all whose en-
ployment consisted chiefly of out door work,
it gladdens our hearts and in fact inyigorates
both the mental and the physical man to
breathe the pure air and to exercise his mus
cular powers in the discharge of his duties.
As most farmers are more OF less behindhand
with their work, news is scarce-neary ev-
erybody being busy in making needful
changes and general preparations for the
cultivation and harvesting of a crop,
Miss Maggie Vest, who had paid her sister
residing at Mr.. A. II. Eaton's-a visit, re-
turned home last week.
Miss Salie Scott and her brother, Thomas
Scott, of Fourche a Renault, Washington
county, Mo-, visited Mr.. w. f. Mason and
family this week.
On the fourth inst, Mr.. VIM. Miller saw
two wolves just west of here. He dismount-
ed and after a few minutes search found
where five wolves had lain. On the follow
ing day your correspondent found the wolves
had caught two of his sheep within 30 rods
of his house.

A Letter From Belleview.

Times are lively here. Every day brings
something new. First there is case of mys-
| terious disappearance at the Corners Some
time ago a correspondent of the REGISTER
stated in substance that monied man bad
come to Belleyiew, and desired to invest in
property in the Valley. That man of money
| has vanished, like the stuff that dreams are
made Of One of the questions now agitating
Belleview is, Do departures depart?
| Some of the uncircumcised, who are men
| of Belial, and no part of Israel, hint not OBJ
securely that deputy sheriff is deyoting the
energies of his mighty mind to the solution
of the problem how not to do it in regard TO
the matter.
But it is terrible to think of the future of
men who say such things; TO think of where
they will die when they go to.
Another agony is an exhibition at the
High School. Viewing the matter as IL teach
er the movement is bad blunder. The pub
lie is not rushing in frantieally TO its support.
do not expect to attend, as l hold it to be
self-evident fact that when a man gets we'll
up toward hundred years of age he should
quit running about at nights, especially
among the women.
The jamboree in the Baptist Church drags
it slow length along. There is ridiculous
side to it which is well presented by your
correspondent "Josephus," who is a close
and very shrewd observer.
But there is also very serious side to it.
There is in Belevew a class of men who
claim to stand very high in the churches
whose record is Ike the chain which Mar
ley's ghost dragged after him. They are
beginning TO peach on each other, and the
whole thing is coming to the light. They
have taken one step too far and will -.iot get
it back. The board of arbitrators will meet
next week to try the parties indicted, 1t
will be no difference what the decision may |
be III respect to the guilt or innocence of the
parties indicted, the work of sma hing up
will go on.
In the meantime the Union Sabbath School |
is doing good work for God. Neither its |
managers nor its enemies understand fully |
its relations to evangical work in Belleview, |
and it is better that they should not under
stand just now.
Two weddings occurred recently in one |
house, and on the same day, which required |
two clergymen.
The wife of Mr.. Jesse E. Low was buried
yesterday at Caledonia. The poor and the
sick will miss her.
The farmers are busy at work clearing up
heir ground. little blowing has been

STRAY PICK UPS.

There's one thing that can always be found,
and that's fault.
The spring of 1885 will find Bonanza with
span new stock.
What can a man have in his pocket when
it is empty? A big hole.
1t is wonderful to behold the advance of
the art of footwear, to be found at Bonanza.
When does man have to keep his word:
When no one will take it.
Keep your feet dry, with pair of Meysen-
berg's shoes, to be had only at Bonanza.

They sat upon the doorstep mat, gazing at

A little pussy cat upon doorstep sat, list

If twenty grains make scruple how many
will make a doubt?
The man who makes it rule to be on time
to a minute, loses hundreds of valuable hours
waiting for other people. A man who has
been waited for is always more wec@me.
Look out for the Bean Guesser at Bonanza.

Doesn't Want His Name Printed

Mr.. Printer-I write this to you askin g
you not TO put my name in the paper. Last
week was in an adjoining county, and, at
the urgent solicitation of the proprietor of
one of the two publishers of papers i'm that
county, subscribed and paid one dollar for
his paper. Imagine my chagrin and annoy
ance at finding the following in the next is
sue of said paper: "Mr. Ferguson, of Iron
county, says he can't get along without the
1oothorn, and left us his name and cash for
one years subscription, and requests us to
he sure and seHa il 10 him regularly" In
the first place, did not say anything of the
kind, and it was only at his urgent solicita-
ton that l subscribed at all. Besides, there
is another paper published in the same place,
the editor of which l am we'll acquainted
with, and who has done me favors i'm the
past, and whose paper should much prefer
to the ToothOrn sheet And have refused
TO take more than one paper IN my own coun-
ty. because thought could not afford it.
Suppose went into the Bonanza" and
bought two dollar pair of shoes, and paid
the cash for them, and the ..Bonanza" man
should post up a. card stating that faeti
would not everybody think it a singular pro-
aeeding. What more rights have news
papers than merchants to proclaim the fact

The OeSch Farm.

This property is situated in Reynolds
county, in Township SO n. Range 1 East, and
was formerly known as the William Love or
Andrew Carly farm, and contains Il half sec
ton Of land, situated in cove, and, for the
most part, slopes to the west
The soil is strong limestone clay, capable
of great endurance. The writer has known
the property for fifteen Years. When Mr.,
Gottfred Oesch took hold of it the land was
badly run down, but all of that is being
changed as rapidly possible. There is
about two hundred acres under fence, all of
which is well set in tame grass. Mr.. Oesch
does not grow any corn. He reasons cor
rectly that if the profits of the land in grass,
the benefit of the land, and the labor neces-
sary to produce the corn, are considered, he
can buy corn cheaper than he can grow it.
And he only sows wheat when he wishes to
get some ground into grass. New fences are
being built and old ones reset and repaired.
There are no brush fences on that farm now.
With the owner it is a well settled principle
that economy, and not merely product, is
the real source of lwcalth. Accordingly, he
has made a very substantial cellar under the
whole house, to secure his fruits and vegeta-
bles. He has provided about eight hundred
square yards of shelter for stock, and keeps
all his feed under roof, so that all his stock
can be fed without any exposure. In addi-
ton to this, all the manure is kept under
roof, instead of being thrown out to be
leached by the rain. That this is a large
item will appear when it is known that there
are on the farm, fifty-two head of cattle,
three horses aud seventy-fve head of hogs.
The stock is all in good order, and thirty
time. MIR. Oesch is opening up cheese fac
tory, for which business the farm is well
suited.
To carry on the farm quite a force is re-
quired, and every one has his work assigned
to him, and he is required to attend to it.
NJ. oeSch is a man of limited book learn
ing, but has large supply of sound practic-
al sense. mans wife has a great deal to
do with his success. Mrs. Oesch is well
educated woman, of very good executive
ability, and will keep up her department.
Inc coming OF Mr.. Oesch into that neighbor-
hood has been public benefit in MANY ways
Messrs. Oeseh, Haywood and Judge Russell
should know each other. 1t would do all of
tn EN- good. +'s THOMAS CaI.HaN

The Bridge Will be Built.

Last Wednesday the County Court order
ed that the bid of the St. Louis Iron Bridge
Company, to erect a wagon and foot bridge
across Stout's Creek between Ironton and
Arcadia, for the sum of $3.50, be accepted;
and an appropriation of that sum for the
purpose was made. The bid includes the
masonry, iron and woodwork, all complete.
The bridge will be of two spans so feet each
in length, with wagon track II feet wide,
and a foot path of four feet. The piers to be
high enough to raise the floor at its lowest
depression ut least ten feet above the water.
The court has done well i'll making the order,
and we are satisfied that within twelve
months there will notbe dissenting voice
rs to this question.

One Horse Thief Less.

Last Wednesday morning when VIM. Hen
son, who lives about two miles south of IRON
ton, on the Fredericktown road, went to his
stable he made the unwelcome discovery
that his two mules had been stolen during
the night. After Il little search he struck the
trail-Inade plain by crooked shoe on one
of the mules-and he with his father and
two brothers started after them. About
four miles this side of FredericktOwn the
pursuers found the mules hitched in the
brush little distance from the road, but no
person near them. After securing them, the
party beat the bush after the thieves, and
three hundred yards distant from where the
mules had been secured. They were lying
in bed comfortably, made Of the usual ma
terals, placed behind large log, evidently
for protection and security from ordinary
observation.
The pursuers calle out to them to "sur-
render" For reply, the enemy fired at them
from a revolver, and continued firing until Il
ball from Henson's Winchester ended the
fight. On closer observation, it was found
that one of the parties was a woman. and the
man who lay beside her with shattered skull
was her husband. The Henson party, leav-
ing two men in charge of the dying man,
went to Fredericktown and notified the au
thorities, who procured hack and doctor,
went to the place of the conflict, and brought
in the wounded man and the woman. They
were taken to the courthouse where the man
died, after lingering until Sunday.
Mr.. Henson gave bond foF his appearance
before the next term of the Madison Circuit
Court-a formal matter, merely,we presume.
The killing was justifiable, and done in the
presence of great danger to the defendant.
The deceased had given his name as Hale
to some parties, and to others ne called him.
self Stevens. At Fredericktown they say
his real name was John Robinson. Be that
as it may, he will never steal another mule.
