A noticeable feature of the tree was solemn

apparently overlooking the proceedings with
a great deal of interest. All were delighted,

them to crafty the children and make the

Arcadia Convent if Brother Axes advertise

the above are terms for the present is IA
gratifying assurance that the good sisters
desire to accommodate themselves to the
prevailing hard times.-POtosi Independent.
Twas fate, Bro. Harris. A couple of
weeks since, as we were transferring the adj
vertisement from one page to another, it
"squabbled," and was hastily reset by the
devil" The extra was inadvertently add
ded, and overlooked by the boss, Now, how
ever, the figures stand corrected, and this
gives US the opportunity of again insisting
that better school than the Arcadia Col
lege does not flourish in the State, while its
going Federal official need not feel abashed
by them.
1t beals all how our neighbors are quarrel
ing in some of the sister towns. They are
kicking and scratching and chewing and
clawing over the post-office, and other Fed
eral posts where they exist. But here in
Poplar Bluff all is quiet and serene. No
strife: no pulling and hauling and wrlnglng
and twisting and backbiting. All is smooth
and calm rs the face of the sphynX. We
have one postmaster and that sufices. If
we should in the course of human events get
another all will know it in due time. We
don't believe in making fuss over little
things.-Cit,zen.
Our Bluff neighbors are evidently trying
the "still hunt" dodge. But things will leak
out, be people never so sly, and the distance
between Ironton and the Bluff is only two and
half hours by rail. Therefore, it is not at
all surprising that whispers of our neighbors,
Vaccinations reach our ears, especially if
the linear measurement of the latter be TAX
en- into consideration. One of those whis- |
pers assures US the Bluffites are going to take
the L. S. Land Office now located here, and |
transport it bodily to their growing city land |
another says that the e. C. has no less than |
four aspirants for Mr.. Crumbs position as |
Receiver. We make mention of these par
ticuars solely that our neighbors may know
we are wide awake-not that we care, so
long as the aspirants don't try to take noun
tain to Mahomet. Blufftes are fine people,
and we will welcome-gladly welcome-any
prominent citizen to this salubrious cline:
he came to tread the private walk
Of life, or to assume official position.
The two devils of the REGISTER office, in
company with the imp of the Herald estab
lishment, after many consultations and much
boarded No. COL, last Sunday,
bound for long trip down the road. They
halted not until they reached Annapolis.
There they disembarked and sought adven-
ture for the thirty minutes that interviewed
the arrival of their train and that of the up
coming freight, No. $40. The time soon
passed, and true to the schedule the freight
put in an appearance, and stopped TO take in
water. The three "kids" jumped aboard the
caboose, and were happy in the thought that
heir days adventure was about 10 end with
>ut slip or mis- connection. But just as
he train was about To start ''homeward |
pound" its one-eyed, cross-yisaged con-
iuctor turned their eXultation into despair
~ yelling to them that they "must get off
I'm, III IN OH rrnleSs |
heir parents are with them-so, tumble
,ut." This brought out cold sweat all
,ver them-for they had never been SO far
rom home before, and the idea that they
must spend several hours away from home,
until No. 602 came along) "after dark" was
tartling indeed. But out they "tumbled,"
md sadly took their way to the station
house, looking longingly askance at the de-
parting train. There is lady operator at
Annapolis, and her heart melted in viewing
heir troubled faces as she Informed them
hat the passenger was ''way yonder" late:
20 she ''took them inn and gave them shelter
md kept up their dropping spirits until the
delayed train arrived. She saw them placed
afely in charge of the conductor, and in due
ime the travel-stained trio arrived at Iron
on. But they VOW vengeance on that one
,yed conductor of freight train $40.
