From Iron Mountain.

Ed. Reqister-During the last xiX months
of my stay at this quiet colony, have sell
dom seen paragraph in your enterprisiDg
journal treating upon the happenings OF this
place. Although only seven miles distant
from your metropolis, Iron Mountain ap-
pears to be an out-of the-way place. Peo-
Pile here seem to be afraid to let their neigh
bors know that they are alive and kicking,
too. They seldom arouse from their acquir-
ed lethargy Of yore unless somebody else
gives them good shake. This was done last
Sunday by the boys of the Granitevillc Cor
net Band; it was a regular "zouzer." The
Iron Mountain band had for several weeks
past contemplated to visit the Graniteville
boys and to spend an hour or two fraternally,
knowing them to be very jovial set Of
"pipers," or what we Germans call'haebsche
blechpfeifer." But, owinglto the inclemency
of the weather aud other paraphernalias
around a new band, the visit was postponed
from time to time. Judge our surprise
then, when last Sunday afternoon the har-
monious strains of martial music greeted
the ears Of us Mountaineers. At first many
received the impression that President
Cleveland was Swinging the circle"; the
surprise could not have been greater. Imag-
inc, too, the hustle and hustle among the L.
NJ. c. B. boys. Unprepared-somei in their
working clothes especially your cores
pondent, with six inch rent in the seat of
his "unmentionables"- then had to re-
ceive them! But something had to be done,
and pretty quick, too. Through the cour-
tesy of Moritz Schmitz, the jovial secretary
of all I. NJ. lodges, the spacious hall of I. o.
o. F. was thrown open and for an hour or
two the building vibrated to the strains of
Mozart, Baccanini, Bellini, Strauss and 9TH
ers, and don't you forget it! The termina-
ton of the pretty affair was in the practicing
room of the Iron Mountain band, where an
"iron bound bucket" of brown "local option"
was in waiting, besides sweet Limburg and
PolIy-feed Of Dozier's best make. Alto
gether the visit was happy one. Three
cheers and tiger for Graniteville! Call
again, boys. FEsTUS.

The iRev. Mr.. Neff, Ironton, preached a
very interesting sermon to our people last
Sunday night. The church boom has all
died away again. Why can't Graniteville
have church, as well as her sister towns?
Some one interested in church matters ought
to head list with Is or 90 dollars and circu-
late 1t through the town; afterward present
II to the company. We believe they would
help literally, and by these means we could
have church soon.
The Graniteville Cornet Band stock inn
Iron Mountain last Sunday and had, we be-
lieve, jolly time. But best of all was after
they came back. Boys, mind how you drink
on Sunday, rs some of these local optionists
are watching where you get it. Any
one wanting drink on Sunday or any other
day can get it by going to Jas. Crews-we
mean cider. But through the week August
is open and keeps the best wine, beer and
cigars you ever saw.
The Syenite Granite Company are making
preparations to commence work in the old
quarry again. We like to see this, and it
will help the stone cutters considerably.
They have plenty of work, but seemingly
plenty OF men to do it. At present there is a
good number of the cutters idle.
Mr.. Chas. Reno still "holds down" the
polishing mill. He is good polisher and
this is what the company wants.
Willie Schneider had his mines fired last
week and is now ready to put on paving cut

may have something to say.

DIED-In Ironton, No., on SATURDAY., Feb
ruary 18th, 1888, EZRA GALUTIA, aged q
years, months and days.
Mr.. Galutia was an old resident of this
place. and his decease is attended with the
regrets of all who knew him. He was born
in Massachusetts, in 1915, whence, after
reaching manhood, he removed TO Ohio, and
in 1910 was united in marriage with Miss
Cassandra Wooster, of Jefferson county. In
1852 they removed to Iowa, and from thence
to Ironton, Mo-, in 1865. He was elected
member of the city council, and served as
such for eight years, we believe. Two chill
dren were born of the marriage above noted,
a son and daughter, both of whom survive.
The wife and mother preceded her husband
to the unknown land a couple of years, and
they both now are at rest, safe from the
storms which beset uncertain life on this
sphere Let them rest in peace!

IRON ORE.
Although month has passed since the
opening of the regular selling season, ore
dealers report no indications of market and
no inquiries are reported from any source.
The prediction of the producers who, some
weeks ago, foreshadowed the condition of
the ore business, seems to have been well
founded, and the chances are now that an
other month will elapse before the sale of
ore in any considerable quantity. Furnace
men are depressed by the practical realiza-
ton of the fact that the Carnegies control
the iron market, and do not feel in the humor
to buy ore. The onlyencouraging feature is
the report from coke manufacturers, to the
effect that their total product for 1888 is sold
at ruling quotations to furnaces, $1.S5
to dealers and - to foundrymen. AS far as
the coke men are concerned, it may be stat
ed authoritively that the price will remain
at the present figures. During the week,
another lot of rails was taken by one or two
roads, aggregating about So 900 tons; and
the price as before was $3.50, which means
$33 in Cleveland. But the market does not
appear to be affected by these orders, and
no activity is displayed in any quarter. tits
stated that the 1888 output will fall fan below
that of the past season, and that even the
reduced output will depend in quantity up
on vessel rates. The producers decline to
quote, even approximately, the probable
price of new ore, but the chances are that,
with lower lake freights, the producers will
be enabled to place their ore on the market
at prices somewhat below those of 's7. For
ore now on docks at Cleveland, the following
are the ruling quotations.:

Ed. Register-The beautiful weather OF
the last fortnight has been utilized by the
farmers of this neighborhood by clearing
land, fencing and other preparatory work for
farming in good earnest. Though many OF
us have been sadly discouraged during the
last two years by failures of crops caused by
drouths and chinch- bugs, all are buoyed up
by the hope that the approaching season will
prove to be prolific in the yield of crops OF
all kinds and that the husbandman will have
cause for rejoicing in consequence of fair
compensation for his arduous tail.

The Mormon Fest Oath.

On Aug 10th, Geo. Whitney, a men,
Der of the Mormon Church, applied for
registry and was refused by A. NJ. Find
10y, Justice of the Peace aud e1-oficio
Registry Agent of Pannca. The refusal
was on the ground that Whitney was q
Mormon and declined to take the onth
prescribed by statute made at the last
Session Of the Legislature md which is
commonly known a. the Mormon Test
Oath Bill" On the 18th, Mr.. Whitney
made m affidavit stating the facts, and
applied to tho Supreme Court for writ
OF mandamus compelling the Agent to
register mis- name, and asking that OH
the 9th inst the question be heard.
Notice to that effect was given to the
Registry Agent, who made an answer
to the application citing the statute as a
justification Of his action.
The above was learned from Mr..
Whitney himself. who had not hereto.
fore made the matter public, on account
v,r, when the Record man explained
to him that publicity in a matter of this
kind cnunot possibly be avoided he
spoke quite freely. His motive is, Of
course, to vindionte his right "s an
American citizen, in which, on the
merits of the case, it would seem he oan
hardly fnil to succeed. Attorney Geo.
S. Sawyer is employed in the case.--

We nre pleased to know TINT this
much vexed question is in fair way to
be settled by the courts, though It is to
be regretted that the test was not made
sooner. We believe that Mr.. Whitney
will win tho case.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
TRUSTS AND TNUNK B.

Mr.. Blaine does not believe much in
trusts, but his daughters in their recent
voyage from Europe had a healthy faith
in thirty-two trunks, which packed the
hold of the City of New York. Aud it
was with no little difficulty that those
trunks. averaging more than ten to
each individual of the family. wore got
pnst the lynx-eyed officials appointed
by MIR. Cleveland and his "free trade"
administration.
History does not record wha' tho
trunks contained, but one can well i'm
agine. Whatever statesman may be
in politics, there is little question what
his daughters may be ut Worth's, pro-
vided their father has an anchor to
windward aud an interest on the
ground floor. They cun, without much
trouble, fill up thirty-two trunks, and,
with somewhat more trouble, get all the
trunks into the country.
What American labor of the dress
making order, what the hosers Of
cotton in Lowell aud the hosiers of silk
in Paterson. N. j., may think OF these
thirty-two trunks may not be snid. Tue
finest of silken and linen goods are in
them. "Pauper labor" of Europe has
BEEN paid. the cheap price of the goods
has been paid, and the duties (tariff
duties) have not.
1t will be quite long time before
the Blaine family, in their intensely
patriotic zeal to protect American labor,
will need to purchase anything from
American manufacturers. Thirty-two
trunks of "free" goods would last an
