Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1888-07-19
From BeIlevIew.

Ed. Register-As promised to give you a
few items from this place we will at least
make an attempt. Nothing of importance
has transpired within tie past week.
The farmers are very busy harvesting their
oats and grass. The oat crop is very good.
Corn is looking well, considering that every
field is infested with chinch-bugs.
Our young friend, John Logan, starts this
evening to st. Louis, where he will take a
position In the Missouri Pacific Railway
office. We are sorry to have you leave us,
John, but We wish you unlimited success.
We are creditably infor med that Mr.. Hen
| son Muse will teach the Thornton Grove
school. Mr.. Muse is a model young man,
and we are certain the school board will not
regret having selected him as their teacher.
Miss Annie George, of Knob Noster, No.,
is spending few weeks in our valley.
Mr.. Editor, what has become of "Rolllng
Jack?" We think "1Pet" must have given a
quietus to him.
My! my! twenty more days till the elec-
ton and then the careworn candidate can
rest his weary horse; but we do not know
whether he will be at rest or not, especially
if he is one of the unfortunates.
Our little city is perfectly quiet, with the
exception Of an ice-cream or a croquet party
given once in awhile by some of the young
ladies.
Mr.. Editor, we feel it our duty to say a
word or two in favor of the Belleyiew Norm
al High School. In the first place we would
say that there is no better location anywhere
to build up permanent school than in
Belleview. The school is in it's infancy and
was conducted under some unfavorable
circumstances last year, yet it was success.
We do not think that among all the young
men and ladies that ATTENDED the school
there can be found one who was dissatisfied
or who did not feel that they had received
full value for their time and money; then
why not have good school here? We have
the location; we have the right man as prin-
cipal; we have the wherewith to maintain
the school if We will only invest it. There
are no saloons here to entice the young men
to spend their evenings in disreputable
manner-in fact nothing to entice them away
from their studies-but good looking girls
and besides all this the school is benefit to
the town, financially, as well as morally, and
we are proud of the fact that the citizens of
Belleyiew have stood faithfully by the school
in the past, and we believe that they realize
that it is to their interest to do so in the
future. y. IL. L.
