The speech of Senator Cockrell at Ironton
last Saturday was worthy the speaker,which
is high enough praise. 1t was clear, concise
and logical; dealt with facts and figures;
and made us feel more than ever that it was

Ed. Register Owing to a recent trip ia
Washington county, we are a week late with
our communication.
The Central Missouri Baptist Association
of United Baptists, met with the church al
Mount Olive, and we fonnd genial people
there, and will ever bear in memory the
kindness shown us by them. The Associa-
ton was harmonious with her annual bust
ness: however, the wolf of which the Proph-
ct wrote ezekiel % Chap, 9th verse) was
there with the sleeps coat on, whose appe-
tite was keen for the gain. But the little
band, like Gideon's three hundred, blew the
trumpets and brake the pitchers, and held
the lamps in their left hands, and the trum-
cts in their right hands to blow withal: and
they cried: 1.-The sword Of the Lord and of
Gideon" And they stood every man in his
place round about the camp, and all the
wolves or princes ran, and fed, and cried
Judges 9TH Chap, 20-1 verse; lisa. 1st Chap.
23d verse; .Jere. 9Th Chap, 2Sth verse. The
Prophet plainly shows us what the princes
have done, and are still trying to do and are
doing. (See 18th verse, 30 Chap. Ezekiel.)
Then in the 18th and 18th verses he plainly
sets forth what the Lord God will do with
the princes: 81, the Lord, have spoken it
and will do it," The NEXT annual meeting
of the Association will be with the church
at Crossville, in Reynolds county, Mo.
The farmers in this vicinity are gathering

NJ. too, is living monument for good.
IT'S reported that the mail route from
Belleyiew to Salem will be divided ct Red
Point, which will be better for carrier.
After returning from Washington county
we made trip to Greedy, in Reynolds coun-
ty, and there met with a large congregation
of people, and we are proud to say they have
set aside all differences of opinions and are
one people, to whom the princes need not
go. They are now moving in the right dir
rectiop to build large church house, of
which anyi people may feel proud. They
number over one hundred members and the
church is still growing. They at present
have in their midst one store, one steam
saw mill, one grist-mill, post Office, school
house, church house, and one single mill,
which make building facilities great.
A man was taken up on suspicion at Greely

On last Monday Mr.. Thos. FL. Henderson
| left his home near Belgrade, NO., with a
wagon and team en- route to Greeley on the
West Fork of Black River. When near Mr..
\. III. Eaton'e he discovered to his dismay
| that one Of his wagon wheels, which but a
short time before had been newly filed, had
lost its tire and that in consequence the fell
loes and spokes of the wheel had been brok-
en- and splintered to such an extent as to
render the wheel useless; he went back
about So miles but did not succeed In reach
ing the place at which the tire saw fit to
"secede'' from the wheel, the wagon tracks
plainly indicating that the tireless wheel
had started from some point further back
than he at that time went. He was forced to
secure the use of another wagon ere he
could proceed on his journey.
The new lead mines near Palmer are still

The series of meetings held by Rev. Mr..
Oscar Lunbeck closed on Friday, 10Th inst.
He surprised his hearers by preaching what
is known in this region of country as "salva-
tion' or ''holiness" doctrine, claiming that
by the grace of God one may before death,
become "sanctiied" to sucn an extent that
he will be enabled to successfully resist all
temptations. Though most of his hearers
believed differently at thebeginnlng of the
meeting, Mr.. Lubbock so earnestly and log
icaly presented his views on the subject
that ere the close of the services nearly all
the profeesed followers of Christ who listen
ed to his preaching avowed their conversion
to his doctrine.
