BIG CREEK, Mo-, April %, IS

Ed. RegisteT-I see an article in your las.
weeks paper about the Union Labor Con-
vention at Ironton. 1 was a delegate to that
convention and heard the whole row, and
was one of the delegates that holted the con-
vention, and would like TO say to the Demo-
Gratis Of Iron county what went on in the
convention. The first thing | got my back
up about was the talk of most of the crowd
was to beat some person, whether they
elected or not. Mr.. NJ. j. Ra.chford's main
talk was, ''if we can't elect, we can beat"
and another great brag he kept making was
this: "Just let'um nominate Martin l.. Car
dy, and see if we don't beat 'em." And
see Mr.. Clardy has announced himself. Now
let the Democrats roll up their sleeves and
pants and go into it, and not let any man
with a big chew of tobacco in the side of his
head rise up and tell us damfools down here
in the country that we don't know who we
are voting for. But if you will listen to him
he will tell you to vote for NJ. j. Ratchford.
OF course, we know all about him: we have
known him all his life, and more too. Now,
l don't deny our all being damfools out here
in the country, but fool don't like to be
told that he is a fool; and, for my part, L
think Mr. Clardy has made good congress
man, and haven't seen that the other man
will do as well. So all have to say about 1t
is, Democrats, get there and elect Martin l..
CIardy for Congress from the 10Th district!
So l will just say, sick'em for u. r. Francis
for Governor, YOUNG DEMOCRAT.

From Krksville.

Ed. Register-As promised to give you
an item with reference to Kirksyille and its
surroundings, I take this opportunity. Al
though have been here about one month
1 have not had the opportunity to give the
account / would like.
When first arrived here the frost was
just commencing to come out of the ground.
1t made it so muddy that hauling with teams
was quite out of the question, and it remain
ed so for three weeks, but after 1t is dry we
have splendid roads, as there are no rocks
and the dirt crumbled and filed all the ruts
aud have left level roads. The city of Kinks
vile is a thriving place, both for old and
young. The people seem very different from
what they are in Iron county; they are more
sociable and try to help themselves. We
have splendid facilities for educating our
children, and churches OF every denomina
ton. We have much colder winds here on
account of its being prairie country. The
farmers cannot commence farming so soon
as in Iron and have just finished sowing
their oats, but with regard to their corn
ground they generally pillow it in the fall, but
when the seed gets in the ground am in
formed it natures quicker than it does down
south.
Now, will tell you little about myself.
The Sd of April moved on farm nine miles
northeast of Huntsville with my brother-in-
law. 1 thought it the longest nine miles that
ever travelled. 1t wasa turn every eighty
acres. as the farms are all under fence.
When got to my destination thought it
terrible looking place with hazel patches all
over the field. l said to George, "Surely
you are not going to cultivate that field"'
"Why:" he said. told him, ''we never can
get the hazel cut off," He just laughed and
said, "We pillow them under. We have a
pillow on purpose; but we have not had time
to pillow the ground yet as we have had IA
acres of oats to sow, but we have commenced
to pillow the ground for corn and it just COW
ers the brush splendid"
They have very good stock of cattle and
horses here and they bring good prices.
Hogs are very scarce; what have seen are
good stock.

lie fruit canneries aud dryers will
soon start up, which will make more
employment for laboring men.
Petalumna is bright little town
with population of about 10000. It
is said to be the fnestlittle town on the
North Branch. 1t lays in the valley
green, while the mountains around the
valley are covered with snaw. Rain
falls in the valley and at the same
time snow is falling on the mountains.
1t is queer sight to see winter and
summer both at the same time. The
year is divided into two seasons: the
wet and the dry. The wet season gen.
orally begins about the middle Of
November, sometimes little earlier or
later, aud continues until April or May.
AS for government lands there is
great deal here. Those who would
like to locate cheap this would be the
place for them.

COlored Society Notes.

The closing exercises and examination of
the school took place at O'Clock P. NJ. Fri.
day, 9th inst, before large company of
visiting friends from Ironton and Pilot Knob.
The room was handsomely decorated with
pictures and flowers. The most prominent
among the former was a picture of Fred.
Douglas surrounded by several other distin-
guished citizens, the most prominent Of
whom was Bishop ii. NJ. Turner, of the a.
NJ. E. Church "This pictLre," says the
teacher, sis hung at the door as sample Of
what education can do for the race" The
next prominent feature of the decoration
was an al ch which spanned the centre isle.
To do justice to the taste and ingenuity dis
played in the design and construction of this
arch would require the time and talent of a
genius of high order. The girls made it. At
the given hour the children, about thirty
strong, were formed into line and marching
in time with the meter of well-known
poem, reciting the verses in concert as they
passed down the centre aisle, under the arch
and to their various sections and seats, where,
after going through series of calisthenic
exercises, they were seated in order. The
programme was next read, in which the
presence of five teachers was anticipated and
work assigned each. Profs. Vance and De-
Haven being present they were requested to
examine the advanced grades in reading,
writing and arithmetic and geography. This
was done thoroughly and in the peculiar
styles and methods of these pedagogues, to
the satisfaction of themselves and the many
friends and patrons present. At 3 O'Clock
P. NJ. the Pilot Knob school arrived, under
the leadership of Mrs. Vaughn, and was met
at the door by the. teacher and reception
committee, who conducted them under the
arch and around to their seats reserved for
them in section one. As they passed the
Ironton school stood and sang an appropri-
ate song, thus welcoming the visiting school.
At the conclusion of the examination, re-
marks were made by the teachers present
and the work done and teachers highly COM
plimented. Messrs. Vaughn, McAllister and
Sweezie followed in the same strain.
The average grade of the slate work in
writing, spelling and punctuation done by
the third and fifth readers, on a scale of 100,
was 80. One of the members of the "B"
grammar class so favorably impressed the
examiners by his ready and correct answers
to the various questions asked that he was
advanced in the following branches: history,
grammar, geography and civil government.

A Visit to Belleview.

Ed. Register-A recent trip to Beleview
impressed me more and more with its
loneliness. The roads were in excellent con-
dition, and to any but a nervous person the
ride would have been delightful, but there
are so many bugaboos in the Quarry to scare
horses that was thinking more about secur-
ing the services of a surgeon than the beau
tiful scenery around.
Farmers are busy planting corn. They
are also preparing to open Farmers Alli-
ance store, which makes Mr.. Read more
pleasant and obliging than eyer, and / doubt
If they get ahead Of him or rather below him
in prices.
I visited the Belleview High School taught
by Prof. j. B. Scott. [ confess to feeling
of envy and jealousy when think that Iron
ton should have had that school instead of
Belleview, because you can get to or from
Ironton two Or three times a day without
having to spend a whole day begging some
one to hire you horse which won't go for
ward, but backward, all the time, notwith-
standing Mr.. Padfied's "Get up there, Joe ="
But to return to Belleview, which l was
forced to do on account of Joe's backward
ness. was much pleased with the manage
ment of the high school. The pupils were
orderly and well behaved. L heard one class
recite in arithmetic which did credit to both
class and teacher; but the class in civil gov
eminent proved clearly that they had had no
actual experience in taking out and serving
warrants. Taking it as whole the school
is a success. A VISITOR.

Prior to the welcome rains of Sunday
night and Monday, the weather was the
driest ever known in this section for the
season. Roads were dusty as in midsummer
and all kinds of vegetation growing very
slowly. Wheat, oats aud meadows were
suffering for rain. Farmers have been fore
ed to feed stock at least six weeks later than
usual. This was all the more ineonyenient
on account of failure of crops last year.
