Mr.. Emerson, the gentlemanly travelling
agent for the j. G. Aver Co., Patent Med
icines, of Lowell, Mass. has been in town the
present week advertising. AS result we
notice a liberal decoration on the various
billboards and fences around town. Some
of the cuts displayed on the posters us ed by
this firm are excellent, showing far superior
work to the bills used by many of the So
called "Greatest Shows on Earth"
On last Thursday morning Mrs. Mollie

impressed with the fair city Of Arcadia and

A letter was received Monday from friend
living sin the mountains" of Colorado, and
it was hard for a denizen of this portion of
the footstool to understand the billiards.,
snow-storms and snow drifts, which the
writer graphically described. Why, here in
Southeast Missouri, we are penning this
item in an office having the doors and WIN
dows wide open, with the stove useless
encumbrance. The zephyrs are gentle as
those of spring, and their fannings are
grateful to the moistened brow. Blest of
the gods, our Valley is sprng-like in WIN
ter, while its summer solstice Is one contin-
ued autumnai glory.
The City Council met last Monday, and
transacted its ordinary routine of business.
But it did something beside: resolved that
the ordinance against horses, etc., running
at large should be hereafter ri gidly enforced
against all the world, so to speak. To this
end, the ordinance Is republished in this is
sue of the REGISTER, and placards printed
in large type will be put up all over the city.
have been made with prom
inent attorney to carry test case to the
court of final resort, should any defendant
appeal from the decision of the mayor. This
is as it should be, but we hope the law will
be observed and no case arise for the eXpen-
diture of money in testing the validity OF the
ordinance-either by the city or an individ-
ual.
Judge Edwards at Clayton, st. Louis Coun-
ty, this morning passed on the application
of B. NJ. Chambers, who killed Frank j.
Bowman on October %, for change of ven-
ue ont of the circnit. The change of venue
is granted under the new law Of course, the
Judge having no discretion in the matter.
The Judge, however, decides where the case
shall go, and Judge Edwards assigned this
one to Iropton, Iron county. Judge Thomas
presiLes in that circuit, and SO will try the
case. The application for a change was
made on the ground of prejudice which
was said to have existed against the defend
ant in the minds of all the inhabitants of that
circuit. The defendant was anxious to get
his case out of the Nineteenth Circuit, and
sent to so long as it was not tried in st. Louis
County. Dispatch, Dec. It'll.
He came a stranger they took him in. He
got off the Accommodation last Saturday
evening, went into the station house, and
began abusing the agent and his assistant.
He had never-ending flow of epithet, pro-
family and obscenity, which he made diligent
use of. He swore he could whip all crea-
tion in general, and the agent in particu lar;
that this town was way off from nowhere,
and tits denizens were a lot of "yaps" whom
he would take pleasure in licking into civil
ization and the ways of metropolitan life.
After standing considerably more abuse
than the regulations impose even upon
station agent, that individual went down
town and notified Constable Patton, who
arrested the stranger, aud, as above stated,
took him In. The prisoner lay in Jail over
Sunday, and Monday he got the usual fine
and trimmings in Justice Dinger'S court.
Somebody has said that Corn is King, but
we doubt If the author of this true saying
ever saw the real King Corn, unless he has
seen the "Hickory King Corn" used by T.
b. Lowe, of Des Are, in the manufacture of
his celebrated corn meal. The grain is
large as a nickel, and almost as valuable
white, round and plump. Where or how
the Col. got hold of this is a secret so pro-
found that even Judge Kemper is in the
dark concerning it. We are now living on
Hickory King Corn bread, Hickory King
Corn gems, Hickory King Corn batter cakes;
and buckwheat, graham and flap-jac flour
have no abiding place in our culinary depart
ment. They have been banished, and our
larder stored with Hickory King Cornmeal.
We have none to sell or give away, but we
can tell you where it can be had, and the
only place, on proper applications and that
is at the Hickory King Corn Mill" Of T. B.
Lowe. Esq, of Des Arc, No., where you can
also get first-class flour-but who wants
