From Brunot.

Ed. Register-My corresponding commu-
| nications to the REGISTER have been some

| OF scarceness of news.
Since my last we have had several we'd
dings:
Married, March 18th, 1888, Mr.. Daniel
Golden to Miss Ella Reno. May they live
long and ever prosper. is the wish of their
many friends. Also, Mr.. William Kemper
to Miss Allie Hinkle. May their future be
as happy as the present.
Miss Bell Buniard returned to her home
at Patterson this morning, after a few days.
visit to relatives and friends.
The measles have been through this Sec
ton of country during the last month. We
nave heard of no deaths resulting from them.
We are glad to hear Mrs. William Thomp-
son, of Arcadia, formerly a resident of this
place, is recovering from her long illness.
OBITUARY.
Died, March 18th, 1888, Mrs. Susan PEN
nington. Her sickness was that dreadful
disease, consumption. Although she was
confined 10 her bed only about two months,
her death was about AS sad one as we gen.
orally have to witness. Having lost her
husband few years ago, she having no rela-
tiyes, her three children are all that is left to
mourn her loss. All three are girls, aged 20,
IL AID 7. Although their many friends
gathered in and did all they could for them
there was no one could fill the place of ma.
They have the sympathy of the whole COM
munty in their sad bereavement. With
aching hearts and fearful eyes we have
borne thee to the silent church yard, and
careful hands lowered thy coffin to its rest
ing place and covered it with the sod of the
valley, and the silent tomb has swallowed up
that which was so dear to US. May God
comfort us for all we have lost in thee. Each
day the summer sun looks down and sheds
his declining rays on thy grave, and icy win
ter approaches to deck thy mound with frost
flowers, but in our lonely home we cannot
cease to miss thee.
At home she's missed; among friends she's
The world who knew her is sad;
But the thought that angels DER her hover,
Is thought that makes us glad.
Dearest mother you have left US.
Your gentle voice no more We'll hear;
But you've gone to dwell with angels,
Where there is no pain nor fear.
Dearest mother you have left us,
But it will not be for long
On that happy shore you'll greet US
With a sweet angelic song.
We will meet you, gentle mother,
Over on the golden shore;
There to dwell with thee forever,
Where pain and parting are no more.

his family. So are we, but we don't get up
in the night to brag about it. ISAAC.

is hoped, as he has the Ironton charge for
the past three years. The financial stewards
report showed that the church had paid the
elder $213.45 for bis services and furnished
him a house. The total amount raised for
the various purposes of the church was
about three hundred dollars.

give 500 more than was awarded on the
contract with Louis Miller for building
quarters on the poor farm. Thirteen hun

which was accepted. Baldwin Bros. bid

large assemblage admired the handsome
decoration of the dancing hall of the Acade-
my of Music last Friday evening. The dec
orators had done their work artistically, |
with great pains and no small amount of |
labor, but were amply repaid by the enco-
mlums of those present. The dance was, of |
course, the feature of the evening, and from
nine O'Clock until early morn the hall re-
sounded to the strains of music and the re-
'ponsive tread of twinkling feet. An oyster
supper was served by Jno. Blemel, Esq,
rom half-past eleven until the last hungry
guest was satisfied. The party, like those
preceding it under the auspices of the X. of
H., was a great success. The attendance

Ed. Register-I notice in your last issue
that you say Mr.. Louis Miller put in the
lowest bid and was awarded the contract of
building the county poor house at 81 400
Now, 1 would like for the county court to
explain why 81 400 is lower than 81 200? 1
went personally before the court, while in
session, and had them to explain to me just
what they wanted. They did so. and I
agreed to build the house according to their
description of same for $1,000. 1t appears
to ME as plain piece of fayoriism. Where
are they going TO get that 5000 that they de-
liberately give away?

with good opinion of the law" In justice
to faithful officer permit me to say in this
connection that to Judge Dinger more than
to any other person the people of Iron coun-
ty are indebted for the prosperous and
healthy financial condition of our county, as
well as our little city, with both of which he
has been Officially connected for the last
twenty TO twenty live years. 1t was he,
while county judge. who laid the foundation
and brought our county warrants up from
Toe to par. Since he has been Mayor of Iron
ton it has become famous for being the most
quiet, peaceful and law abiding city in this
section of the State, and as Justice of the
Peace he has become IA terror to violators of
the law. Having spent the best part of his
life in the services of this city and Iron coun-
ty so acceptaby and satisfactorily, as has
been shown by his frequent reflections,
now serving his nty-fourth continuous
yeai as Mayor, it is but just recognition of
the place that now suggest that he be again

continuous service as Mayor of Ironton.

Gas for Cincinnati.
To be Brought from the Warlield
Well Up Big Sandy.
[Cinrinnati llelegram.l


IRoNToN, O., February l0.-The
impression has for some time pre-
vailed that the project of piping gas
from the War6eld District, In the
Big Sandy Valley, OF Kentucky, TO
Cincinnati was hopelessly defunrt.
AT one time, year or more ago, 1t.
was verv live enterprise, so far as
printing and talk were concerned,
The pamphlets explaining lis de-
tails were ample and artistic, and
fine looking gentlemen who pro-
claimed the grandeur OF il were elo-
quont and untiring, They even
went SC far as to procure the signing
of contacts to use the gas, and Sc
cured all the big consumers along
the river, Some people argued that
the plan wasn't feasible, that gas
couldn't bepiped to Cincinnati, and
divers articles appeared in the news
papers taking the same view, but
these opinions the agents combat
ted with appropriate vigor AT last
the scheme disappeared from public
attention owing to controversy
over the Warfieid gusher, in which
shot guns and courts figured extern
sively.
But it is coming to the top again,
as is learned from Prof. Mott, the
chemist and electrician. He is n
chemist Of note in New York City.
and was sent out two or three years
ago to Investigate The War.ield gas
district. He made an excellent re-
port Of his investigations. He say $
the scheme OF piping that gas to
Cincinnati has been revived, and
this time it is sure 70 WIN. There
is no reason why it shouldn't. The
objection to piping gas lS5 miles,
which is the distance from Warheld
to Cincinnati will not stand
Though the greatest distance it is
now piped is about eighty miles
that is no reason why it can't be Ia
ken 1S5 miles by placing at the Gin
cinnati end of the pipe an air ex
hauster of proper force and con
struction, and pull the column o
gas through, as il were. Now thu
lpush at the Warfeld end is abou
three hundred pounds to the inch.
that won't carry it through, but
4 less pull at the Cincinnati end vii
bring it nicely. And that's wha
the company is gong TO do, sai'
Professor Mott. The company i
formed the money israised ; twill
take 100000 to 90 the work
The only thing they are waitin
ON is to ba sure that the gas SUPP
at Warfeld is sufficient.

The following is from an article
in the Courier-Journal in regard to
the recent investigation of the Row
an county affairs:
There has been some talk of
transferring Rowan from The Four
tie, nth judicial District to that pre-
sided over by Judge John Rice.
This will by no means be agreeable
to the Tollivers. 1T. Young says
that Judge Rice has cousi in nam
ed Burns, who is counted in the
ranks of the opposition. However
this may be, those who know Judge
Rice best can testify that if Rowan
was included inhis circuittheeitor
to uphold the majesty OF the law
would be vigorously and persistent
