| On Christmas eve visited Christmas Tree
| Entertainment, at the Pilot Knob School
house. When | reached the school house, !
! found the tree dressed. Mrs. Vaughn and
the children ready for the preliminary ex-
ercises, which consisted of singing, speaking,
and Rotations. The tree was handsomely
decorated, with presents of various values,
for the eager and happy children, who were
awaiting the hour of distribution.
Upon casual examination of one of the
classes, l found the children well up in their
studies. The location of the school, in the
extreme south western part of the town,
causes a great deal of dissatisfaction among
the patrons. In order to reach the school
house, a majority of the children who are
small, have to cross a creek, once or twice,
and a railroad track or bridge.
There was also Christmas Tree Entertain.
ment, at the NJ. E. Church, Christmas day.
The tree contained 12G presents and was en-
joved by those who were present.
The balance ofthe week was taken up by
dances, oyster suppers, and dinners. At
one of the former entertainments, there was
rough and tumble fight, for the champion
ship of the floor. Result, nobody hurt, but
considerable boisterous and obscene swear
ing.
Bill Carter has opened Barber Shop for
the benefit Of the colored citizens of Iron
ton. Carter's Shop is situated in the upper
part of the city, and will be seen only on
Sunday for the present.
Miss Nellie Buckner is attending the Sum-
ner High School in the CITY.
Messrs John Buckner, and Jno. Davis
were visiting friends, in Ironton, during the
past week.
Payton Martin is away on a! visit in Ar
kansas.
Mrs. Anthony made a visit to Pennington
recently. and Alex Bird spent Christmas
day In the City.
The anniversary exercises of the Sunday
School, which took place, at the NJ. E. Church
Dee. the both, was one of the m )st interest
ing entertainments of the Holidays. The
exercises consisted of singing and recita-
tions of passages of Scripture. The most
exercise of all, was the tenor
singing of Willie Lase, who sang in aQuartet
OF himself and three sisters.
Willie is less than five years old; but sings
ike little mar.

| Ed. Register-We, as well as the farmers
of many other parts of the country, have
much enjoyed the unusually open weather
of the past six weeks. In the matter of
| saving feed. alone, the almost uninterrupted
period of clear and comparatively warm
weather has been a godsend to the people
especially so to the farmers whose crops
were badly damaged by the ravages of the
ubiquitous chinchbug. All energetic farm
ers succeeded in getting vastly more out
door work done than is usual at this season
of the year in this section of the State.
Marion Anderson, Jr., closed his school
last saturday: He taught a term of eighteen
weeks in the Laramore Distrct-~in which
his father resides; he informed me that
during the entire term of his school the at
tendance was larger and more regular than
it had ever been before. He also stated that
he intends to leave here shortly to attend
school-likeIy at Belle>iew, Mo. His efforts
to obtain an Education are praise worthy
and we trust that he will find his chosen
vocation both remunerative and enjoyable.
JAS. a. Payne, who has been employed at
Bonnie Terre, Mo-, for the past, is now at

S. e. Payne has leased portion of his
tract of land at the mouth of Indian Greek

Irwin Adams, son of Rev. J. r. Adams,
and one of the favOrites of the bonnie lassies
of this vicinity, spent the holidays-or at
least goody portion of them-on this side
of the..'Riyide." He, in company with Ma
riun Anderson, flames Laramore, S. C.. and
Jas. A. Panye, and Romano Adams, went
to Joseph's Chapel, on Cub Greek, to wit
ness the distribution of the many and varied
presents from the Christmas Tree at that
place. OF course they enjoyed themselves
hugely. Mr.. Jacob Cover assumed the role
of Santa Claus on the above named occa-

Died, near Sabula at O'Clock P. NJ. Wed
hesdav, December 18th, 1888, SARAH A., 10.
fant daughter of George and Lucretia Lewis
aged year, . months and II days. Sad thai
so lovely flower must SO soon fade. Our
bright eyed darling is gone, the sweet pratt
ling tongue now dumb in death, will greet
us no more. How our aching hearts despair
when we look upon its little form. So cold
lying there; those little ice-cold fingers as in
snowy grace they clasp the toy that did i'm
life give it so much joy. Dear bereaved par
ents and friends, grieye not for Sallie, be pa :
tent! these severe Affections are not from
the ground. They are of times celestial
blessings. Sallie is not dead, the sweet
voiced child we so much loved, but by guard
ian angels led from temptation, safe from
sims pollution. She lives whom we call dead.
May the afflicted family find comfort in Him
who hath declared that baOes are heirs of
heaven, and submit to the will of Him who
does nothing wrong. For,
She shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
When we see precious blossom
That we've rendered with such care,
Suddenly taken from our BOSOM,
How our aching hearts despair.
Round her little grave we fingered,
Til the setting sun was low,
Feeling all our hopes had persisted
With the flower we cherished so.
She shall sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave;
Blessed be the Lord that taketh,
Blessed be the Lord that gave!
In the bright, eternal city
Death can never, never came!
In His own good time He'll call us
Fom this land to home sweet home.

The Durham Market.

The breaks during the past
week were heavy the sales lasting
all day Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, There was a small
per cent OF brights but the re-
mainder was frosted, nondescript
and dark. The 1888 crop will
surprise some as to the quantity
OF medium filters, but will fall
short of what was anticipated in
wrappers. The farmers appear
to be contented at the prices, for
We hear no complaint. The Al
lance warehouse has proven ben
eficial to the market. 1t has
caused the tobacco to turn this
way. The high prices and the
great demand for all grades has
caused the warehousemen to
send out men to solicit tobacco
for our market. But little old
stock is being sold and what is
offered is bringing top market
prices.

Don't blame the world because the thorns IRE

we cannot hope to always meet with Fortunes

And that which seems most hard to bear may

The buriod seed must rot in earth ere it produce

And the weak plant to fructify must have both
slln and shower
So nau, TO gain development, must struggle
with LIES crosses
And Wow with calm philosophy his trials and
his osses.

surest healing;
The sweetest bloom may pois'nous DO although

Thinga are not always what they seem, but still
twas Heaven designed them,
And we should class them all as good, and take
them we find them.
Little wo know of this brief life and nothing of

All that Its wrong. III His good time, will surely

a strong, warm soapsuds, and plunges
the garment into it, souses it up and
down, rubs the dirty places, if neces.
sary puts it through second suds, then
rinses it through several waters, and
hangs it to dry on the line. When
nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it UP fol-
an hour or two and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside
ofthe coat and the iron passed over that
until the wrinkles are out; but the iron
is removed before the steam ceases to
rise from the goods, else they would be
shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are
removed by laying a wet cloth over
them and passing the iron over that.
If any shiny places are seen they are
treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is
lifted while the full cloud of steam
rises and brings up the nap with it.
Cloth should always havea suds made
especially for it. for if that which has
been used for white cotton OF

in the water and cling to the
