| Ed. P"giste.-We had the pleasure of at
tending church a. Goodland on the forth
sabbath in last month; and while The pastor
| o the church was not present, we were
! pleased to hear a few common sense remarks
by others. For six years past we have, at
times, attended church at the above named
| place, but never before have we observed
| such excellent order by all present. In
point of order Goodland compares vel :
favorably with any church We have visited
ior quite while. The abomnable habit Ct
going TO the spring some six or eight times
is now thing of the past We are glad to
note the change.
Measles have been quite prevalent in this
vicinity. Mrs. Albert Johnson, nee Adams,
East Fork, came on Il visit to her fathers,
Rev. j. r. A., and while there was taken
with the measels, and for several days, we
are informed, fingered at the point Of death.
But, by the aid of a skilled physician she is
rapidly improving. Nearly all of Mr..
Pauley's family have been confined with the
measles.
Farmers generally are busily engaged cut
ting clover. Oats will do to cut within two
weeks from this writing. The yield will be
quite large.
There will be grand picnic on the Goth
inst. near Ii. Il. Henderson's, four miles
south of Foote. Fireworks at night. Cam
not give full programme. All are cordially
invited.
We were panied to learn of the tragic end
of DIR. kerg Parker, who was killed at Leas-
burg, Mo-, recently. He is a son of DR.. Hal
len Parker, Black p. o., Mo. The impress
sion is very prevalent here that the killing
was different from the facts given in special
dispatch to the Republic.
On the afternoon of the 9th inst. the fol-
lowing persons visited US: Mr.. and Mrs.
W. II. Shy, Black z. O.; Miss Ada Miner,
Edge Hill.
Mr.. W. Newman, of near Caledonia, visited
his sister, Mrs. Houstin Latham, near here
on the Sth inst.
\. II. Eaton, Foote, has been confined to
his room for few days with rheumatism.
MI. Ranchhausen has recently purchaseda
new boiler for his saw mill, and will ere long
be ready for business. The mill will De
placed at Foote.
Did any person ever before experience
just such another season as we are now
having: 1t SIS common in California for
people 10 sleep between two blankets the
year around. Such has been the case here
this spring. The weather-clerk must haYe
position in the Cabinet.
The recent change in the law so as to put
the election of road overseers in the hands
of old VoX Populi is generally conceded
to be an eXcelien: change. There is only
one bad feature in the law as 1t stands; that
is the probability of few districts to elect
to that position Il "b!ack Republican,"
Those who have read the article IN recent
issue of the REGISTER, by Prof. }. B. John
son claim that the eleven students, of Wash
ington University, st. Louis, We're subject
to inhuman treatment by the police of your
magnificent little city. We cannot tell
where some people will die when they go to.
Hobt. and Jas, Jennings were captured
near Oats, Reynolds Co., this week by de-
tective. They are charged with having
wrecked a train near Sullivan, Mo-, not long
since. They have been in the penitentialy for
larency in time past, and it is to be hoped
that, if guilty of the above train wrecking,
they will get the full extent of the law.
