NJ. HANNA,
PROPRIETOR OF OUR FOUNDRY AND
MACHINE SHOP.

PROPRIETOR OF OUR FOUNDRY AND
MACHINE SHOP.
In the year 1878 the above foundry
was established in this city by Hanna
n Co., at first doing asmall business,
but before long it commanded an ex-
tensive trade until now its territory
extends into several counties. This
boundary makes brass and iron cast
ings of all kinds and manufactures
engines and mill supplies. 1t makes
shaiting, fencing, pulleys, iron goods,
gearing, iron balconies, couplings,
etc. 1t makes speciality of castings
of every description and repairing Of
iron work.
Through long years of business eX-
perience and by uniform course of
honest dealing and reliable goods
the above gentleman has won the
confidence of the commercial world
and built up large trade. The i'm
portance OF this trade can hardly be
over-rated, as it is just as necessary
as any branch of business, especially
when we remember that they are
turning out valuable and curious ar
ticles Of which even our own citizens
are entirely ignorant.
Mr.. NJ. Hanna is a practical and
experienced man in his line of oul
commerce. His thorough knowledge
and inventive abilities which he pos
sesses makes him a useful citizen il
our city. His foundry is an honor tC
our town and reflects great credit up
on himself. The quality of worl
turned out in this extensive concern
is second to none. Mr.. Hanna's trad,
is comparatively good and he has NJ
reasons to complain. His work, Ell
tcrprise and general usefulnes
speak for him in terms sufficiently
expressive, emitting him to the res
pect of this community, to who's
prosperity his efforts have been 81
highly conductive.

The Bridge Question

Ed. Register-The action of the county
court last fall, in relation to having an iron
bridge built across Stout's creek, south of
Ironton, got up quite an excitement among
the citizens, pro and con, living near by
cons many, and pros not few.
Now, in that matter, the county court must
have been governed by the law, in relation
to building bridges, which is not longer than
q mans finger, and reads thus: "If the
county court be of opinion that bridge is
necessary they SHALL" etc.
The county court must have thought that
bridge was necessary, or else they would
not have advertised and let it out to the low
est bidder.
Necessary, because Iron county, (tho' little
and ill-shaped), had, by law taken her place
among the sovereign counties Of the State,
and is fixture. She.has good court house
and jail, and will be, very likely, where she
IS till the sound of Gabriel's trump; and,
particularly, because the crossing of Stout's
creek at the present ford, which is not over
fifteen hundred feet south of the court house,
is very dangerous, when the water is half
saddle skirt deep. And because this is the
only direct crossing leading of south from
Ironton in the direction of Greenyille, Gen.
teryille, southeast and southwest Missouri,
Arkansas, and Texas, and would be . good
way for those people If they preferred to
come by land instead Of rail. to get to Iron.

We see that there is strong effort being
made to remove the School of Mines from
Rolla to Columbia-the Columbians claiming
that the School in its present location is >
failure. This proves the REGISTER true
prophet. When the School was located ey-
cry "striker" within hundred miles of the
State University-with Jim Rollins at the
head-worked tooth and nail to keep it from
coming to Ironton. Their object was then
declared by this paper to be the location Of
the School in such place as would least Sec

At Rolla, the verge of the district, and total
ly untitled for the purposes of the School, 1t
was hoped, after few years. of unsuccessful
trial, Columbia might absorb the institution.
This was charged by us then, and the present
move proves that we were right.
We declare row that there was more "dirty
work" done in the location of the School of
Mines than the State has ever suffered from
in any other instance. We trust the legis-
lature will not help the doors of that "dirty
work" in reaping the expected fruits of it.
If it is found that the School of Mines in its
present location is out of place-as most as
suredly it is-let it be removed to the one
pre- eminently fit location: Ironton. Here it
ought to have came in the first instance; here
it was intended to be established; and here
the committee that located it knew, if the
wishes of the people, and the good of the
State, were taken into account, it must be
put. That committee, through the grossest
betrayal of its trust, failed in its duty. Now,
II the Legislature take the matter in hand,
we demand that justice be done: only this,
and nothing more.
