COlOred Society Notes.

The past week started in with good things
in store for the young people, for the 4th of
Of August has been observed for many years
as a national holiday by the eolored citizens
in general, as it is the day upon which, in
1884, England emancipated the slaves of the
West India Islands. While many of the
young people took advantage of the oppor-
tunlty to go to Crystal City and to Freder-
picnic ut Russell's Grove a success socially,
at least. The address of q. A. Maston was
listened to by the more thoughtful part of
the audience with good interest.
On Saturday Presiding Elder Brown ar-
rived, and was taken the same afternoon, by
Rev. Abanatha, to Caledonia, where he held
forth until Sunday afternoon, returning to
Ironton in time to preach a. night.
Monday afternoon the Quarterly Confer
ence was held and the various reports showed
the church to he in a prosperous condition i
in fact, financially speaking, the Secretary
declared it to be the most prosperous Quar-.
.erly Meeting that the church has had for
several years. Rev. Thomas was present ut
the Conference, and also at Love Feast and
gave some good advice in regard to the
spiritual and temporal affairs of the church.
Mr.. Canady, of Pennington, and Mrs. Sui
ivan, of Rolla, are here on visit to their

Ed. Register-The election passed off
quietly at this place. That is, there was no
fighting, but great deal of wild voting, sill
ly talk, and unfair electioneering. Did it
ever occur to you, Mr.. Editor, that ignorance
is the greatest curse of our land? See the
masses being lead up to the polls and voted
to the within of some ''tly up the creek" who
has some little personal matter against GER
tain candidates: hear rabble, shouting, and
haloOing for those of whose merits they
know nothing at all, and who can wonder
that some people consider it unsafe to in
trust the government of 4 country to the
masses, and what thinking man OF woman
will not wonder that there are many appar.
emily sane people who oppose common
schools and Sabbath schools and everything
else that has for its object the cultivation of
the mind and heart and consequently the
elevation of society: TEACHER

Our County Primaries.

For wears the Democratic party of Iron
county, by system of primary elections
has chosen its candidates for county offices
| at the general election.
At first, and for years after the Inaugural
ton of this policy, these primary elections
were carried on in reasonable fairness ano
honesty, and resulted in the choice of the
fay ored of the party. A nomination thereai
was, and still is, equivalent to an election
But all men can see that evil can be made
out of this fairest of all tests of popularity
fairest, when fairly Operated-most unfair.
when operated otherwise.
Party primaries are, outside of st. Louis,
ungoverned by any law, save that of honor;
and few there are who can resist the tcmpta-
ton to dishonor. Few politicians who can
resist the tendency to bribery, corruption,
defamation, and the importation of votes
from other counties, and the voting of boys
and others unentitled to vote.
The use of these means makes it almost
impossible for fairminded man to secure
office unless he be exceptionally popular;
and too frequently these means result i'll the
defeat of the real choice of the people.
sutins in this wrong, cause another evil.
Evil, triumphant, strengthens itself, and
puts its opposite at a discount. 1t sets a bad
example before the public, and tends to
weaken the whole battle line of morality and
right.
There were, at the last general election, of
both parties, some thirteen hundred votes
polled in this county. On July 31st, 1886, at
the Democratic primary election, there were
over eighteen hundred votes polled, while
no man will claim that the number of real
votes has increased more than one hundred,
or that the real Democratic vote is more
than nine hundred.
What is the inference: 1t is that the great
mass of Republicans voted, while as Il mat
ter of fact they will now bring out a ticket
of their own; it is that several hundred boys
voted who are not entitled to vote; it is that
more than one hundred votes were imported
from other counties to decide the result of
our Iron county election.
y great wrong upon the party has been
worked, but we are glad that no candidate
will, to right his own wrong, split up his
party. Though all confess that wrong has
been done to preserve the party Organiza-
ton, all Will submit. But how often and
how long will the people submit?
Primary elections will have to go, or else
they will have to be regulated by law, rs in
st. LOUIS, or be placed under the same stat
utes governing general elections. We will
go into this matter more fully in the future.
In the meantime cannot the State Conyen-
ton next week, by resolution, ask the in
coming Legislature to pass such a law:

College.

A college or educational school of high
rank is needed in Southeast Missouri, and
there is no better location for such a school
than the Arcadia Valley where beautiful
scenery and pleasant surroundings, pure air
and water as well us its accessibility by rail,
make it all that could be desired. The school
now there being only for girls does not sup
ply the necessities of district, neither
does the Normal school ut Cape Girardeau,
which is provided for those who intend to
teach for Il livelihood. The necessity for an
other school of high order in Southeast Mis-
souri, grows every recurring year, and should
be supplied at Us early time as practicable
Bluff Citizen.
This is unquestionably true, and it is n
standing wonder to us that men of intelli-
gen"e, of benevolence, and means lave not
long ago taken the matter in hand. Surely
it cannot very much longer be deferred.

E'd Register-After long delay we come
again with our pencil and paper to give you
Il few items from this part of the county.
Health generally good in the neighborhood.
Many long faces and sad countenances
have been changed to that of joy and cheer
fulness since the refreshing lain that fell
Sunday evening. While it wet to the depth
of about only inches, it, with the previol s
showers, will do a great deal of good to the
corn and pastures. If we get sufficient rain
from this date on, BelleYiew Valley will
make two-thirds of crop.
The Primary is oyer, and the candidates
that were "left " have taken passage OH the
ship of Defeat and are sailing up 8" Salt Riv-
er " to return when the chances are more
favorable for the nomination.
Rev. j. G. Williams is carrying on pro-
tracted meeting at Cedar Grove church.
Parson Williams is an able minister and we
always feel impressed with his sermons.
Most of the farmers are through thresh-
ing wheat and the yield is very good, some
few crops averaging 20 bushels per acre:
Tus. Sweeny, a man who has boen insane
for several years, died the I'D inst, and was

Price Cox, who has been at Sherman, Tex,
returned home II few days ago. He says
crops look promising in that part of the state.
Mrs. Mari, who has been living in Caledo-
mia. has moved to her farm which she lately
purchased from Mr.. Dow Garlic, who now
resides at Roseburg, Oregon. The price
was paid $4,000.
Harrison Sweeney sold 4 drove of beef

DIES ARC, Mo-, August s, 1886.
Ed RegisteT-I will give you a few items
from our little town.
| We are suffering for rain. The corn crop
is nearly complete failure.
The granite business is moving slowly,
owing to dry and hot weather.
The wheat crop is good; also the hay crop,
which will help the cattle through.
Bro. Settle, assisted by Rev. Gibson and
| Myrick, of Piedmont, have been holding
| protracted meetings here this week.
| Piling seems to be the leading business
here now. They are hauling 1t from around
Brunot. yesterday met two wagons loaded
with it for Z. w. Graves, who is shipping it
out west. He has i large contract, and is
putting it down as far rs Keno Switch.
Jas. Green is running the Lovelis mill, near
Milton Roberts.
The thresher was IN the neighborhood this
week, and did things up in a hurry and left.
There is no sickness here at present.
Well, the Primary Election is oyer, and
there are Il good many sick baby candidates.
There were doctors, lawyers and nurses from
Wayne county here to look after these boys,
but they failed to keep thom alive. They
used Castoria, whisky, and every means they
could think of, but yet they went back. One
trouble was, they were not healthy babies.
If you want healthy baby, and one that
can stand the race, get \ bald-headed baby
and name it Huff, Buford, or Fletcher, and
they will always pull through. They Will
be like the dbug-th will there get all the
same. There was a candidate here from
Greenville that sprung some bad tales on our
baby Joe, but fortunately it did him good.
We will get even with him next fall. We
are very sorry our baby Joe Walker got left;
there mnst have been something wrong
about it.
No mortal here will ever know
Why Jordan beat our baby Joe.e
This Primary Election is humbug. There
is nothing just or fair about it, and I hope
that by the time another election comes off
they will do away with it, for it is 4 cowardly
trick. 1t look as if we are afraid to come
out in an open field and fight the Republican
party, although we number three to one.
Now, as it is. we are compelled to vote for
some that we worked against in the Primary,
and another thing is, there is too much
whisky and beer used in the Primary, and it
has gotten so now unless you set them up"
you will get badly left. 1t is like Bro. Deer
ing said at the 4th of July picnic: if man
get- IN Office these days, he goes in over a
whisky barrel. Wail, will close, hoping at
our next election every candidate Will run
on his own hook. ISAAC.

reported that he would not make more than
one half bushel of corn to the acre. Stock
water is scarce.
The Republicans of this (Dent) township

or probably before, there will be a machine
put in so as to get at the ore as quick as pos
sible.
There has been Il spring of good, pure
water discovered near the mouth of the new
tunnel. 1t has been running all this summer;
so you see, if it has run through the dry
spell we have had, it is liable to be an ever
lasting one.
Judge Reke says, since he is defeated in
the Primary he is going to start hog ranch
on the north fork of Tom Suck.
There will be new plan tried ut the shaft

capable of throwing about three times more
water onto the hill than any they have at

The large air pipe bursted last Thursday
