In making this announcement we wish to
thank the public for their generous recogni-
ton, Endorsement and very liberal patronage,
all of which we try to merit by skillful work,
reasonable fees and devotion to the welfare of
our patients. It is well-recognized fact that
our methods are new, improved and for the
most part painless; our preparation superior,
practice unsurpassed, and our success beyond
question. We make no apologies for adver-
Using, believing we have perfect right to
enjoy the privileges of other business men in
placing our claims before the public. Obser-
walton and experience teaches US that the
afflicted want cures, regardless of ''ethics" or
''pathies" This we strive to give in the least
possible time, without experimenting by doc
toring for months and perhaps years, until
their patience is exhausted and their purse
impoverished. How we'll we succeed we will
let our patients state. Their name is legion,
many of whom are your neighbors.

DlED-November 9th, 1886, at Des Arc
Iron county, Mo-, of nervous fever, JIMMIE
little son of Thompson and Sallie Sinclair
aged two years, three months, twenty six
days.
To-day we cut the frarrant sod,
With trembling hands, asunder,
And lay this well-beloved of God,
Our dear dead baby, under.
Oh, hearts that ache and ache afresh!
o, tears too blindly raining!
Our hearts are weak, yet, being flesh,
Too strong for our refraining.
Sleep, darling, sleep! Cold rain shall steep
Thy little turf-made dwelling;
Thou wilt not know, so far below,
What winds or storms are swelling.
And birds shall sing in the warm spring,
And flowers blom about thee;
Thou wilt not heed them, love,-but oh,
The loneliness without thee!
Father, we will be comforted!
Thou vast the gracious giver- ..
We yield him up-not dead, not dead
To dwell with thee forever. .. .-
Take thou our child-ours for day
Thine while the ages blossom.
This little shining head we lay
In the Redeemer's bosom.

Ed. Register-I noticed in your last issue
that an attempt will be made to revive the
Ironton Lecture Bureau. This is something
that is much needed in our Valley. When
| our sister towns have their lyceums and glee
clubs for the purpose of cultivating in the
minds of all a taste for that which is elevat-
ing, why can't Ironton be able to boast OF
| something similar? What will add to the
name of town any more than a regular or
ganized literary club? Not only would such
thing add to the name, but it would add
in reality. XIX
Ihe youths who are growing up around
us and also men and women who are the
heads OF families are more or less in need
OF culture and refinement. Instead of hav-
ing the young man led into society that is
degrading let us make an attempt to lead
HIM into society which has for its object
both mental and moral improvement. How
much better it is to throw out inducements
and give opportunities that will enable the
young to become intelligent citizens.
What is the matter? We have the material
then why do we remain silent! 1t seems
that we are all idle, each one waiting for the
other. "Let US be up and doing" Our
people should cast aside that feeling of diff
ference, and with an iron will come boldly
to the trout. I don't ask that we surpass
other towns, but do ask that we keep other
towns from surprising US. The size of the
audience and the interest manifested by the
public will have much to do with the sue
cess of this undertaking.
Let us have good turnout next Friday
night and start the ball rolling.
