The financial Statement for Iron County,
for the year ending Jan. 31st, 1888, usurps
most of the REGISTER this week. But it's
interesting reading to the x-payer.
Old Winters back bone stiffened to nearly

do the most good.

BoRN-At the residence of Judge r. p.
Russell, Wednesday, February 22d, 1888, to
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Johnson, of Brunot, a
son. The young heir was very properly
named Geo. Washington at the suggestion of
the grandfather, who, to judge by appear
ances, is as much elated oyer the happy event
as any person connected with it. All are do
ing well.
The young men of this place are ''talking
up'' the organizing of a military company.
Some of them have corresponded with the
Adjutant- General of the State. and his re-
plies have encouraged them to go on until
the organization is a fact accomplished. We
heartily commend the move, and hope soon
to chronicle the formation of company
which shall eventually speak well for the
city,
A grand ball will be given at the Academy

No. 591, X. of l.. Those who desire to have
an evening of enjoyment will not forget the
date. The "bcys" have heretofore shown
that they know how to conduct such affairs,
and all may rest assured that they will not
fall behind in the coming event. AdmissHp,
per couple, 81.
Last week the county bought the old VIM.
Tong farm, containing about 1G0 acres. 1t
will be used for poor farm from this time.
The price paid was $4,000, and the property
! is worth every cent of the money. To our
mind there is no question as to the propriety
of the purchase, and we believe the sum paid
will be saved in the "poor" account in less
than four years. That item cost the county
| twenty -eight hundred dollars last year. We
venture the prediction that half the expend-
/ iture will not be made this year, with the
poor farm in operation.
