LOCAL BREVITIES.
See Bonanza's new advertisement Specia
bargains this week.
County Court is in session, and its tim
seems to be taken up principally with tn
determination of road cases. The proceed
ings in full will be published next week.
On the Fourth of July the Marble Creel
Grange will give picnic at Logtown, and
general invitation to all will be given ant
speakers announced in a week or two.
We thank our correspondent at Goodlant
for his favor, but beg Of him to hereafter
diversity little, as it were. Do not sent
the same letter to the REGISTER and the
Herald.
We notice that horses still run at large
within the city limits, notwithstanding the
ordinance forbidding it. A little extra Wig.
lance on the part of the marshal would moi
be reprehensible.
The members of the various orders at Iror
Mountain are making arrangements for big
Fourth of July celebration. The programme
is not completed, and when it is due an
nouncement will be made.
The butcher on the adjoining block would
do well to guard his shop more closely.
During the past week, we saw three good
roasts travelling rapidly up street in the jaws
Of lank, hungry dogs-a roast to a dog.
Divine Services by Rev. DR.. Foy, at St.
Paul's Episcopal Church. next Sunday at
1915 A. NJ. and P. NJ. The DIR. says he will,
also, "prcach to the children and young peo-
pie at 8 O'Clock. All will be welcome"
We see the lightning has struck at Pied
mont. A. v. Hamilton, postmaster, was re-
Iieved Monday, and w. p. Toney appointed
i'm his place. This contamination is satisfac-
tory to all good citizens, and gratifying to
Democrats. Mr.. Toney is the right man for
the place.
Bro. Hoag, of the Poplar Bluff Citizen,
goes to the Editorial Convention, and thence
on an excursion to Niagara Falls. The Dom
iphan Prospect, in explanation, says that
Bro. III. has not been long in the newspaper
business, and hence his pocket-book will
stand the pressure passably well.
A minstrel and variety entertainment, to
be given by local talent, is on the tapis.
Those who desire or are willing to take part
will please call at this office. Capt. w. II.
affair, and if he does it will prove a success.
Due notice of the entertainment will be
given.
Wen bet fifteen cents, and donate the
amount to the poor when we win, that there
is more than one Republican who will admit
that Hamilton, the lately bounced postmast
er at Piedmont was and is an offensive
partisan" He has been excessively "offen-
sive" to some men in his own party. Call
Cahoon!
The suit of foreclosure of the mortgage on
the st. Louis Ore and Steel Company came
up i'm the U. S. Circuit Court at st. Louis
last Monday, and was continued to the Sep
TENDER term. Much may be done in three
months, and we trust that within that time
some arrangement may be made that will
avoid the selling of the property.
We take the following remarkable piece of
news from the Gtobe-Democrat of last Fri
day: 'Last night John Begley, 60 years of
age, was arrested for disturbing the peace.
After being placed in cell at the station the
sergeant in charge heard suspicious sounds
coming from the cell, and upon investigation
found the old man trying to heat his brains
out by butting his head against the floor"
Special rates have been made by the rail-
road company for travel between st. Louis
and Arcadia. They are very liberal, and
show a disposition to favor this section as
gratifying as advantageous. The following
are the rates: Single round trip ticket, good
from June 1st to October 31st, A.45. Good
for three days, $500. Ten-ride ticket, good
for sixty days, $12.50-or $3.50 per round
trip.
The ladies of the Episcopal Church Melted
about forty dollars through the Festival.
Owing to bad weather-for that particular
occasion, but good for the crops-the Festi-
val was continued to Friday night. Arrange
ments are being made to take down and ship
the broken bell, and in the course of two
weeks the tones OF the new will ring out
over the Valley. The cost of all will be
about one hundred dollars.
C. w. Thomas, sewing machine agent
for the Singer Company, week before last
sold machine, took the money, and "slop-
ed" Up to date his whereabouts has not
been determined by those principally inter-
ested. He left a family in destitute circum-
stances. The wife and mother is in poor
health and dependent upon kind neighbors
for sustenance for herself and children. This
is the worst part of the case against Thomas,
and he will some day or other receive his re-
ward.
