Obituary..

Died, on Sunday at 3 O'Clock A. NJ, BeDja-
MN F. Kemper, aged So years, II months
and 81 days, of complication of diseases.
He had been ailing for some months past
and his diseases seemed to battle all of the
physicians skill. He patiently bore his
troubles until the hour of temporal relief.
Mr.. Kemper had been continued resident
of this county since the war, the home of his
birth and youthful days. He was respect
ed citizen and an upright man. He leaves
many relatives and friends to mourn over
his departure. His family, composed of
Mrs. Lucinda Allen and Mrs. Jennie Smith,
sister aud nece, and DR.. Kemper, will feel
the loss more than others, as he was kind
father and a benefactor to his sister and
niece. He took great pride in the Masonic
Lodge of which he was a member for years,
ana had attained a prominent position by
going many steps in advance of the majority
in the way of degrees, etc. The funeral
services took place Monday at 2 O'Clock PM,
from his late residence to the Masonic Gene
terry, under the rites OF that order. The
services were appropriate and impressive
and of such character Is usually adopted
by the Fredericktosrn STANDARD.

| Ed. Register-Ten days ago it was not an
common to hear the farmers complain of not
being up with their usual spring work; but
the recent snow aud sleet has put them up
with it to date.
Measles are very prevalent near Foote and
Goodland, but as yet no cases have proved
fatal.
Through the columns of the Republican
| have just learned the sad intelligence of
the recent destruction Of Mt. Vernon, H.,
and, looking over the list of dead and wound
ed, end many friends and classmates with
whom have attended school at that place.
Mt. Vernon was beautiful little city OF
four thousand inhabitants, and in few mo-
ments was swept away like chaff.
One of your correspondents complains of
his REGISTER performing missionary service
| along the route. This reminds me that there
is. have reasons to think, "n1gger in the
WOOL" between our office and Ironton.
There is a way by whie b he may be caught.
Messrs. Jno. Mcmahon and H. Latham
went to Ironton, 9th inst, on business.
l am informed that G. w. Hawkins, of
Black, is a prospective candidate for sheriff
of Reynolds county next term. He would
make good one.
/ notice that the Cleveland, Ohio, Board of
Education has under consideration a propo-
sition to establish fund for retired teachers,
''out of which may be paid to deserving
teachers of twenty years or more service, a
sum annually, not to exceed third of the
maximum salary of regular teacher in the
grammar and primary grades, after such
teachers have been retired from SERVICE"
What! shall it ever be on this mundane sphere
That rewards shall be given the poor teach
ers here?
1t is said that on the West Fork of Black
river 70 per cent. of the farmers and their
wives belong to the Farmers Alliance. We
predict that the organization will need reju-
venating ere long.
G. b. Carly, of Black, was in this vicinity
not long ago to see his-friends. Berry is a
nice, industrious young man, and well re-
spected by those who know him.
Not long ago Mrs. c. Hiliker, Middle
brook, gave us a visit.
Miss Emeline Mcmahon is visiting friends
near Iron Mountain.
Messrs. III. Alcorn and Chas. Bryan, of
Goodwater, were out here last week for the
purpose of purchasing yearlings, but owing
to their proposed prices failed to purchase.
There are now here not less than 60 head of
two and three year old cattle for sale, when
the proper prices are offered. Farmers can
not purchase feed many have done that
and winter their stock and then sell them at
prices they were offered last September.

The measles have been raging through
this section of country during the past two
weeks. Members of the families of the fol-
lowing-named persons have been attacked
by said disease: Hon. w. L. Croker, seven

cases; Solomon Nelson, five eases; Marion
Mayberry, five cases; Mrs. E. johnson, four

Cornelius Payne and wife, of Bonnie Terre,

parted from here for California, have in
formed their relatives here that they rived

Misses Effie Love and Salome Bryan went

Not few of us have been slow about sign
Ing petitions of any kind; but if petition is
circulated praying congress to refuse to
grant Utah's admission into the Union as 4
state SO long as she adheres to polygamy and
its attendant vices, few, if any, in this oca--
ity, will refuse or neglect TO sign the petition;
for, if there is any one thing upon which we
all agree, it is the determined, uncompro-
missing opposition to polygamy and its re-
suits.
1t is feared that ere this is published the
Crown Prince of Germany will be no more.
AT any rate the outlook for the near future
Of Germany-and several of the minor pow
erS of Europe-is to say the least, an unen-
1iabie one. If a correct map of the Euro |
pean countries of the present day, score of
years hence, with an equally correct map of
hat time, it would no doubt prove startling
of the changes possible among |
nations in Il few tireting years; to some it |
night even be another satisfactory proof of
he final prevalence of retributive justice.

Ed. Regtster-My corresponding commu-

what irregular during the past on account of
scarceness of news. Well, Mr. Editor, my

The writer and Charles A Buford were at

Miss Lille Buford, whose names the unwel-
come guest failed to mention in her matri-
monial and connubial article to the REGIS

and with great aid composed the wonderful
article which we read in your paper.

MIR. Trolenger Denies and Explains.

Ed. Register-I would like to have space
IN your paper for a few items in regard to
an article in your paper dated March l, 1888,
an regard to the assault made on ST. Vaughn.
Now, as to the throwing of the crackers in
the nigger's face it is not so. The whole
thing is this way: and some friends had
started up through town and were eating
some cheese as we walked along, and when
| finished mine and as threw the rind away
/ unluckily hit the Niger in the breast with
it and he went and swore out warrant for
me and had me arrested and tried before
Judge Dinger, of Ironton, for assault and
battery, and after the Judge swore the mig
ger two or three times, / won't say which,
he at last swore the cheese hi: him in the face.
didu't aim to hit the Niger when threw
the piece of cheese, but that made no differ
ence with the Judge, and he fined me one
dollar and costs, which was twelve dollars
and for;y-fiye cents.
Now, Judge, you SAID just before you rem
dered judgment against me, that you were a
good Democrat, and had always been. Did
not you once vote the Republican ticket and
when Iron county went Democratic didn't
you turn for office sakes Now, Judge, If you
did, own up, for don't think any true Dem
ocrat would render such judgment as the
one you rendered against me, and | don't
think good Republicans would either. In
conclusion there is one thing would like to
say about the officers of Ironton. 1t has got
two as good officers as there are in the world
one of them is Paul Patton; the other Is y.
S. Jordan; they are gentlemen, and treated
me as such.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you will publish this,
/ will feel very thankful, as / think | was
badly treated, A. j. TRoLENGER.

Iron county has a reputation second to
none in Southeast Missouri for its roads and
bridges, but the ''Drifter'' once more makes
an appeal to The citizens to destroy the old
footbridge acrcss Knob creek before any
great catastrophe occurs. What might have
proved serious accident occurred to Nick
one morning last week, while coming to
WORK. As he reached Knob creek, not being
aware that the new bridge was completed,
lie yentured on the old footbridge and sud-
denly conceived the idea that he was an
acrobat. In lieu of a balance pole he carried
a dinner pail and 4 bundle of working clothes.
The approach was made in good style, and
As he got to the centre he started to exhibit
some new feat> in balancing never performed
before, when after various contortions his
foothOd missed and was precipitated head
long into the roaring water below. When
returned, he found he was
very wet, even to the seat Of his pants. As
sistance Immediately arrived and he was
taken home and put in Il change of clothing,
and after mild admontion from his wife,
he once more started on his journey-this
time being assisted across the iron bridge
and arrived at his destination in safety.

Ed. Register-March having ''come in like
a lion" we expect 1t to ego out like lamb"
Though a. snow storm such as we are now
having is not an enjoyable thing in this
month, especially when the majority of
farmers are short of feed-it is far preferable
to having cold, sleet and billiards month
later: of course we may have the latter in
addition to the present storm but we are
more likely to have nice open weather after
this than if the past week had been fair.
Farmers here, as elsewhere, have been
pushing work preparatory to sowing and
planting as fast as their means and the con-
dition of the weather would permit.
