Boys, begin to brush up. The first o
September and school will soon be upon you
We understand that Baldwin Bros. will
soon begin brick building for Mr.. Medley
of Arcadia.
Gorge Showltes, Esq, has just put new
brick sidewalk in front of his saloon. 1t is
good Improvement.
Probate Court is i'm session this week, anG
Judge Dinger has more than the usua
amount of business to attend to.
There will be services at the Methodist
Church of this city Saturday morning al
1880 O'Clock. Also, Sabbath morning at II
O'Clock.
DR.. L. II. Goulding has been re-appointed
Z. S. Examining Surgeon. A better selec-
ton could not have been made, Republican
or no Republican.
Jno. F. T. Edwards received his commls-
sion Monday, and yesterday he removed the
post-office to the old building just north OF
and next to this office.
One of Collector Fletcher's children fell
from barn last Monday, but fortunately
received no serious injury. Bill thinks seri-
ously of building large cage for the safe
keeping of his yiyacious and venturesome
little folks.
Jno. Burke, Madison county's tallest
Dutchman, last week brought into town the
first oats of this season. Yesterday he came
up with a load of new wheat. (We'll put
up five-dollar bill to any man who.will
To, Of of
this cereal.)
An incipient conflagration in the Herald
building yesterday was subdued by the
prompt eXertiOns of Bro. Smith and w. III.
Delano. The trouble was caused by de-
fectiye fiue in the part of the premises occu-
pied by p. j. Whitworth's family. No dam
age worth mentioning resulted.
Perhaps the maddest man in the State is
Judge Emerson, who is attending circuit
court this week in Greenyille. He thinks
the fools are not all dead yet, when it is ar
ranged to hold court on the st. Francois
bottoms in the month of August. 1t is
enough to warm up saint, we admit.
The Baptist church in Belleview was burn
ed to the ground about O'Clock last Satur-
day morning. Whether the result of accident
or design, 1t is a misfortune that will compel
the regret of all; and if it should be proven
that it was set on fire, ga short shrift and
long rope" would seem to be the natural
sequence.
Mrs. DIR. Zwart, of Kansas City, is spend
ing the summer with Capt. B. warts family
here. She and the baby are enjoying excel
lent health, notwithstanding the extreme
heat of summer; and what with the growth
of the latter and its adoption of "short
Clothes" the DIR. will have some difficulty in
recognizing next fall the wee representative
that left him last June.
That DR.. Farrar, ST., is 4 very skillful
physician and surgeon, though well known,
is further testified by remarkable rescue
of a child at deaths door few days ago.
We cannot describe the operation, but it was
a skillful manipulation. We don't think any
other town i'm Missouri can boast o: a more
learned and really skillful body of medical
men than our little City of Ironton.
We publish the full proceedings of the
Reunion Mt Arcadia last week, including
condensed history of the High School by
Rev. j. c. Bergman. The proceedings take
up3considerable space, but We know that we
could not fill the REGISTER with more in
teresting matter. Our only regret in this
connection is that we were prevented from
attending the sessions of the Reunion.
A more grateful change of weather than
that of Friday was never experienced in this
section. The mercury in the thermometer,
within an hour, fell from 9S to 76. This
change was supplemented Sunday by anoth-
er "norther," and the nights have been very
cool. An extra blanket is required for COM
fort during our hours of repose. But it is
gradually warming up, and no doubt we will
be ready for another cool wave by the end of
the week.

Last Saturday three cars and eaboose of
No. 61S were thrown from the track at Area
dia. The csfuye of the accident Is not defin-
itely known, but it is attributed to the
spreading of the track. Two of the cars were
loaded with Texan ponies, but though one of
the cars was turned over, not one of the
quadrupeds was killed, and only few of
them slightly injured. The track was torn
up for a distance of about fifty yards, and it
took several hours to get the road in trim
again. Nos. 601 and 604 were delayed about
two hours, and the passengers on the former
took dinner ut Bismarck.
