Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1886-09-09

suicide last night by taking poison. We
have no particulars. The deceased has been
resident of Middlebrook for about ten
months past, coming there from Hog Eye.
The inquest will be held to-day.
Mr.. Hunt, the City Photographer, who has
been making photographs at Mr.. Buckman's
Gallery, opposite the Bonanza, will close up
his business in Ironton on the Goth of this
month. We would advise any one wanting
first-class picture to give him a call before
the date mentioned. Samples of his work
can be seen at the gallery; also at the post
Office.
A small boy about eight years old, the son
OF Mr.. j. Kells, of Arcadia, an engineer on
the pusher, fell from cherry tree last We'd
nesday evening and broke his arm. DR..
Farrar was called in to set the broken men,
Der and found the little fellow in rather seri-
Gus condition. We trust, however, that bis
Injuries are not so bad as was at first feared
and hope the recovery may be speedy and
final.
Among others in town this week-haying
business at court, We presume-we observe
Chas. Vale from Belleview, and Judge
Kemper, of Des Arc. "Tom " Fitz, also of
Des Arc. came up with Kempcr Sunday on
604, but got scared at something and went
right back home the same night. No doubt
he was afraid Lowe might get lonesome,
stop his mill, and follow him and the Judge,
and thus put the South End in danger of a
bread-famine.
John Fl. Jones. Unpopular assistant book
keeper, of the late Desloge Lead Co., was in
town the first of this week. He had just re-
turned from visit of several weeks to his
home in Wisconsin, and was on his way to
Annapolis, Mo-, where he took charge of the
store and Office of Coylngton & Fite on the
1st inst. Mr.. Jones counts his friends here
by legions, and any time he passes this way
he will receive a cordial welcome.-BOnne
Te1Te Register.
We are not posted as to who is roadover-
seer in the Marble Creek district, but we arc
told by every person travelling over the Mil
Ter hill and roads in that vicinity that the
road is in better condition than it has ever
heretofore been. We are sorry that we do
do not know the overseers' names, for they
deserve publicity. We believe, however,
that Leroy Matkin and Jonathan Milburn
are the parties who are entitled to the credit
for one of the best pieces of road in Iron
county.
A woman named Mrs. Keane was thrown
out of a wagon at the Ironton Mfg Com
pany's mill last Saturday about noon, and
rather severely injured. Her husband had
gone into the mill, leaving her in the wagon
holding the reins, when the horse took fright
at the mill whistle which blew for IL O'Clock,
and started to run. He made short turn,
tipping the wagon and throwing the woman
to the ground. She was rendered insensible
and in that condition carried into neigh
boring house. In a short time she recovered
sufficiently to be taken home. No bones
were broken.
In taking charge of the editorial de-
partment of the REGISTER this day.
September 9Th, 1886, don't forget the
date), we do so with the full knOwl-
edge of our ability to run this, or any
other paper; therefore, we do not go
at it with fear and trembling. On the
contrary, it is the easiest job we have
had for a long time, and a0e are not
surprised at the number of papers and
editors that spring up and flourish at
every corner where two or more roads
meet but are really surprised at their
giving up the ghost-that is, we mean,
getting tired writing "aUe" after the
beginning and in the middle of each
sentence, getting pumpkins, cabbages,
free tickets to shows, concerts, &C.;
and at the end of the year, more or
less, go off to some other claim, forget
ting to settle board bills, paper bills,
and balance due on press and material.
We shall never get tired; of that our
patrons may rest assured. We could
write ten columns of bright reading
editorials every Gay without getting
tired, if we wanted to. We don't want
to to-day, but the next time the boss
goes off on a twelve-hour trip, aOe
promise to more than fulfill the expec-
tations of the waiting public.
