Ed. RegaSter-We have again been greatly
blessed by some genuine soakers and most
agreeable showers of rain, and all the differ
ent kinds of edible vegetation appears to be
growing rapidly under the impulse.
In speaking about the announcement of
Mr.. r. in my last writing as being candi-
date for Assessor did not know Mr.. j. w.
Harral would be candidate for this office.
Mr.. III. is good, kind and respectable gen.
tleman and we know his qualifications are
requisite for he has served in this connection
before.
We have learned that measles have been
raging little at Belleview.
According to reports the fruit crops will
not be quite as productive as last year;
probably owing to the late spring dry wealth
er and recent frosts that we have had, but
we will have few peaches notwithstanding.
Prof j. G. Hartman, who is attending the
normal institute at Belleyiew, will be en-
ployed to teach the Cedar Grove school. He
being man of more than ordinary talent,
we predict a most successful and progress
sive term.
Some of our citizens attended the G. A. r.
picnic at Belgrade, Washington county, last
Saturday.
For the benefit of your Belleview CORES
pendent will say that there is a little organ
ization at Cross Roads, composed of about
half dozen members who meet frequently at
a certain place there, but they are not in
sympathy with the F. A. or prohlbitionists.
We are informed that there will be a
teachers institute held at Caledonia, Wash
ington county, as well as at Belleview, Iron
county, which will commence July 16, 1888.
We wish both the Belleview and Caledonia
institutes general and perfect success.

Sim. Buckman, Esq, is now in the Far
West, and will probably be gone some
months. His purpose is to take in several
of the territories, as well as Colorado, Ne
yada, etc. His health has not been excellent
of late, but we hope he will return in excel
lieut. trim. In the meantime the gallery will
run as usual, and excellent work will be
turned out, also as usual.
Prof. D. C. Baker of Dixon, KY, will To-
cate in Ironton for the summer with beau
tiful line of Toilet Goods for the ladies. My
new preparations for the compilations are
the prettiest any lady ever used. 1t is not
injurious to the complexion, but promotes
good, healthy, rosy color, and will remove
all sunburn and tan. freckles and discolora-
lions of any character, from the face and
hands. Recommended by the medical fra
ternity. Inquire at Crisp's Drug Store.
Mann Ringo announces himself candidate
for Representative, subject, of course, to the
Democratic primary election. Mr.. Ringo is
young man of much more than ordinary
ability. Though pedagogue for a year or
two past, he was raised on farm and knows
from experience the nature of toll that en-
mobiles. Ii chosen by the Democracy, he will
make an able and faithful representative
one whose intelligence and culture will COM
mand respect. His integrity Is unquestioned.
The excursion and picnic of the st. Louis
Concordia Club at Pilot Knob on Sunday last
was not as largely attended as had been ex-
pected, owing. no doubt, to the inclement
weather. Net more than half the number of
people came down from The city that would
have come had it not been for the threaten
ing ramon the departure of the train in the
and a shower in the evening kept
many residents from the grounds. In COM
ing from st. Louis stop of two hours was
made at Graniteville in order that the eX-
cursionists might view the sights Whereabouts
and then the train proceeded to Pilot Knob,
arriving there about three O'Clock. The eS
cursionists returned to their homes about
seven O'Clock, all tired, but happy with the |
days sport.

Ed. Register-Since my last nothing OF
Importance has transpired and news is very
scarce.
A nice rain fell Sunday and made farmers
appear very jovial. a rain once week is
what we ike to see.
The sound of the reaper can be distinctly
heard in the valley. People are cutting their
wheat on the green order little this year to
save it from the destruction Of the pestilence
(chlnch -bugs).
Mr.. u. Fl. Hartman and SON and Mrs. E..
Tharp attended church at Black Saturday
and Sunday.
Rev. Enoch is conducting a series of meet
ings at Cedar Grove. As yet not much in
terest has been manifest, but it Is to be hoped
that ere this meeting shall close great and
lasting good may be accomplished. Quite a
large crowd was in attendance on Sunday,
and some got very wet before they could
reach home.
The Belleview Normal Institute is in a
prosperous condition, although the attend
ance is not very large. All seem to. be inter-
from attending to no little extent.
ne measles nave Deen raging IOr some
time in our little town and some of the
teachers that came to attend the institute
have taken them, which deprives them of the
privilege of attending for few days, at least.
Miss Sallie Hartman and Mollie Carly have
returned from their visit in Wayne county.
Rev. Leonard, of Caledonia, filed his reg
ular appointment at this place Saturday and
Sunday.
I presume the Kaolin correspondent was
right to some extent in regard to the little
organization at X Roads; at least am sat-
isfied without any explanation. Mr.. Editor,
don't think it hardly fair and just for cor
respondents to comment on persons that are
candidates for office by saying there is no
other SO good, &c; but as this has been said
from scribe at this point in regard to the
assessorship, would just add right here
that we have another man that will make
splendid officer for the same position. He
has proven himself to the people once as
such.
The picnic that mentioned in my last is
postponed until August. j. G. H.

heavy artillery duel at Shepherds Town
Va, the enemy tYankeesl were on the Mary
land side of the Potomas river, and, while
the shots fell fast and thick, the Maryland
band lConfederates) played the song Mary
land, my Maryland" Many Marylander
lost his life that day. In this club was q
soldier with one leg and one arm. The

that war, and to-day am proud to think I
was one of them and am Democrat.

LOCAL BREVITIES.

The city authorities have lately made some
badly-needed improvements on couple
Shepherd street bridges.
A land slide near De Soto on Saturday last
delayed all trains for several hours. No.
751 did not arrive here until after six O'Clock.
We have been blessed with numerous,
copious showers during the past week and
the growing crops are looking fine. With
no drouth hereafter the yield of corn will
be especially large.
The I. b. C. B. are organizing minstrel
troupe with which they expect to astonish
the natives sometime in the next two months.
Capt. Byers will be director, which is sum-
cient guarantee that the entertainment will
SAVIOR of metropolitan excellency.
Arrangements have been completed and
the returns from the Chicago Convention
will be bulletined in front of the REGISTER
Office as soon as received. Those who are
anxious to learn the names of the victims OF
November next will govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
The horses running at large within the
city limits are internal nuisance, to Say
the least. Has the ordinance prohibiting
this thing been repealed, or is the marshal
neglectful of his duty? As matters are, In
this respect the town might as well be dis
Incorporated.
In this weeks issue of the REGISTER will
be found the announcement of w. L. Crock
er as a candidate for the office OF Representa-
tive of Iron county. Mr. =. has hosts OF
friends all over the county who will not for
get him and his past services when they go
to the polls ON the 2Sth ofRext month.
One of the pushers with Jno. Clare, engi-
neer, came near meeting with serious wreck
one night last week. While helping NO. :
over the Pilot Knob grade the pusher jump
ed the rails and ran for several feet on the
ties before the engineer on the engine OF No.
discovered the mishap. Beyond badly
frightened crew little damage was done.
The Cleveland Club held its regular week.
Iy meeting on Saturday last. Beyond the
receiving of number of new members iittie
business was transacted. 1t is source OF
qualification to every good Democrat to note
the rapid growth O; these organizations over
the country. Their. strength will be made
manifest In the November majorities. too.
We neglected in our last issue to call at
teption to the announcements OF JOS. ".
GARRISON and r. J. Hill rs candidates Tor
district Judgeships. Both OF these gentle
men haye served the people in this capacity
and have made excellent officials. we pre-
dict their good works will not be overlooked
by an approaching Democracy on the 18th OF
July next.
The other day we were shown piece OF
minera! taken from the lead prospect OF the
Reese Bros, situated about mile and nall
north of Annapolis. While we lay no claim
to being mineral expert, We think we are
safe in saying that it was as fine specimen
of lead as we have ever seen. 1t is the In
tentlon to work the property and see how 1t
will pan out. We have but little doubt that
lead in paying quantities exists In the south
end OF this county. May the present pros
pect prove another Doe Run!

The entertainment promised last Saturday
evening by the Young Mems Social Club was
very enjoyable affair. The participant:
were all home talent and they did credit tc
our little town.
Messrs. Edgar and Jordan from Ironton,
and Raney from Piedmont, were in our town
hog killing affair.
The excitement over the mineral discover
les still runs high. There is a report that
Mr.. S. D. Hopkins has been offered So 900 for
his mine and he refuses to take it.
Mr.. Dave Reese from Ironton was here
during the week surveying the land north of
town and making arrangements to draw off
the water from SixteenTrestle pond and open
up the old lead mines known to be at that
point.
Mr.. J. S. Be nson has commenced work on
his store building, raising it another story.
When completed we will have a hall twenty
four by forty-six. This will be public hall
and no doubt will be well patronized.
Mr.. j. M. Kennedy from Logan, Iowa, is
here looking for location, AID we think he
will invest In our lands if he does not locate.
The prospect for fine fruit crop is very
fiattering. The apple and peach trees are
loaded with fruit, and many places the peach
trees are breaking down with the weight.
Messrs. Reyburn and Harral, candidates
for assessor, were in our town last week
working the town.
Mr.. j. S. Benson was in st. Louis last week
attending the Republican Club State Con-
vention.
Qnite serious accident occurred yester-
day near town. A young man named Davis,

and from last accounts he was resting easy.
The lumber and piling trade is picking up;
the shippers here have received several large

renewed life and energy to vegetation gen.
orally, and, in consequence thereof, nature
smiles, and promises fairly good crops, and
instructive happiness appears to characterize
every living individual.
| Messrs. John and Giles McMahon went to
Ironton on the I'd inst, and, while there,
purchased a first-class hay rake.

her name.
On the afternoon of 3Oth ult. your CORES
pendent and wife visited Mr.. and Mrs. j. r.
| Adams, stopped over night. and returned
home next day. The evening was quite
pleasantly spent, for Rev. Adams is very in
teligent and communicative, and one of
| those persons who always makes one feel at
home. He has an intelligent, orderly, we'll
behaved family. While there I had the
pleasure of seeing his fine Perch sron stallion,
which is 1614 hands high and weighs abo 1T
1000 pounds.
I have been informed that there was a
Farmers Alliance organized at Bell school
house on Cd ult. 1t now has % members.

/ notice in recent copy of the REGISTER
that "Rollin' jack" a pig-headed part-his-
hair in the middle dude, who being natur-
ally oyer charged with explosive gas, attacks

that a person who is qualified to teach school
(not keep school, as those of such>metal as
he is composed-intellectua morally and
otherwise-always do) cannot afford to teach
for $25 or $50 a month. Now listen to his
house-that Jack built logic. "He (tPet)
teaches the farmers children, the farmer
feeds him, therefore, his work is worth no
more than the farmers. If one of
our first.class young ladies was to apply for
a school, he, Pet would be the first to OBJ
ject and want her to teach for $40 a month
and board among the scholars or pay So a
month for board" Now. sir, it a lady car

have not less than $40 a month, and "Pet''

Our Next Governor.

Who shall he be? Are the people of Mis-
souri, going to remain silently and quietly at
their homes, and allow some man to nomi-
nate himself for the highest place in our
great commonwealth? Are the people going
to choose their own rulers, or are they pre-
pared to let immodest and designing men
thrust themselves into the high places3 No
man who has had agents over the State, now
for many months, working for his political
preferment is fit to be the governor of our
great State.
Mr.. Editor, will you allow me to suggest
few names?
Hon. John A. Hockaday, of Fulton, Hon.
Thomas Shackeiford, of Glasgow, Hon. t.
r. L. Harvey, of Fairville, Hon. John E.
Ryland, of Lexington, Hon. John F. Phillips,
of Kansas City. They are all gentlemen of
high character. They are men of ability and
integrity. They are Christian statesmen,
competent and just. Do the people desire
to have such in office? If so, let them call
them out and demand their services. l..
