DRESS FOR GIRLS.
A School Regulation Whose Genera

A School Regulation Whose General
Adoption Might DO Much Good.
No doubt the faculty and trustees Of
any girls school would do service to
universal womankind by insisting upon
plain sensible costume 10 be worn by
all pupils during the school years.
Many points can be urged in its favor:
Regard for physiological needs Of de,
vcloping girls, the freedom Of costume.
the sisterhood, which would at once
put all young ladies, rich and poor
alike, on the footing Of equality in
dress during the years they are init
matcly associated beneath the same
roof and in the same work, ending
foolish and oftentimes bitter rivalry be-
tween those who can and those who
can not afford to dress richly; and, per.
haps, no less important point than the
others, reserve the pleasures Of beauti-
full costuming for the entrance upon
social life which is really the beginning
OF the necessity for individuality in
dress. ..
While girls are in the school-room
their minds should be occupied with its
work and the simple, healthful pleas.
ures incident to harmonious develop
ment Of the bodily and mental powers
which are to make the grand woman

color to save monotony, would conduce
greatly to the benefits Of q school or

ColOred Society Notes.

The festival given by the young people on
the Sth inst, was grand success financially
and otherwise. One of the main features OF
the entertainment was contest for a cake
between the Misses Viola and Jennie Allen.
After thorough canvass of the field G. A.
Maston, the umpire, declared Miss Jennie
the winner by majority of ten votes.
In my notice of the pastor who was sent
by the Baptist Association to Pilot Knob,
there was mistake in the name given, the
correct name of the pastor is Milton Turner.

A Word to Our German Friends.

About two weeks ago, our old friend, John
C. Burke, now of Madison county, and
known to nearly every man, women and
child in Iron county, told a little joke
which we printed in last weeks REGISTER.
Mr.. Burke is a German, and his broken Eng
lish gave additional point to his joke. Said
he. ssI tell you how it ish: Before de war it
was de white man, de dutchman and de
niger. Now, it ish de niger, de dutchman
and de white man. De Niger is put on de
top. and de white man on de bottom, but de
dutchman is shust we're he always was"
This was reproduced by us merely as joke
told by a German, without thought of in
turing any persons feelings, and we thought
we could do so with the more IMMUNITY,
since the editor of this paper is of pretty
close German descent from both sides OF the
house. The person who tells our German
friends that any slur was intended upon
them is simply talking for political effect.
They have known us for thirty years, how
ever. and we have no fears of their misjudg-
ing ms, We refer to the matter merely to
point out the desperate straits to which GER
tain designing would-be politicians in this
community are reduced.

The Republican Parade.

Ed. Reg,ster-The Pilot Knob and Ironton
Harrison and Morton Clubs wish to correct
the statement published in the REGISTER Of
last week regarding the Republican rslly.
To them it appears the correspondent of the
Ironton REGISTER was not justified in criti-
Ching them to the extent it did. To be sure,
they did not expect there would be publish
ed very glowing account of the affair, but
they at least expected nothing but the truth.
We do not refer to the latter part of the arti-
Gle, as we are not writing this for the pur-
pose of discussing politics, but to the intro
ductory lines. As to the component parts
of the parade, we are satisfied that, regard.
less of race or color, they were all qualified
voters, and even il a crowd of small boys did
bring up the rear we do not think the "fiery
marshal" had any power to prevent their
doing so.
The portion of the article about the "nig-
ger, dutchman and white man" we think
requires no comment; any intelligent person
knows what must be the mental and moral
condition of any one making such state
ment. For the benefit of good many per-
sons interested would the author please de-
fine the difference between a "dutchman"
and a white man?
We feel satisfied that our attempt was not
an entire failure, there being in line over 400
persons, which, if we are not badly mistaken,
made it the largest political parade ever seen
in Iron county.
Wishing to be as neighborly as possible we
are willing 20 help our esteemed opponents
all we can to make their attempt success.
The Pilot Knob and IrOnton Harrison and
Morton Clubs have oyer 800 torches which
they would be willing to loan to their DEM
ocratic friends so as to at least prevent their
making complete failure.
