Announcements are fast ripening.
Miss Mathina Benson, of Annapolis, was
in Ironton last week, with her father, Jno.
S. Benson, Esq, who was in attendance on
the circuit court juror.
A heavy frost whitened the roofs, fences,
fields and lawns yesterday morning, and was
followed by a cool rain. As far "a we can
learn. little damage was done to fruit.
We see by the daily papers that b. F.
Bone was taken to St. Louis about ten
days ago to answer before the L. S. Court
to charge of cutting timber on govern
ment lands. His case was continued to the
18th of this month.
DIED-At Geurgetow IL, Col, on Thursday,
May 1st, 1890, Mary, beloved wife of james
Tong. Mr.. Tong was formerly resident of
thi. county, and his many friends will join
us in our sympathy for him in this greatest
of all bereavements.
Prof. McGhee, Cape Girardeau, Is n can
didate for State Superintendent of Schools.
He was In Ironton last week, and all were
impressed favorably toward him. He is q
good man and able, aud the State might go
further and care worse.
Several new aunouncements-Mr. G. ..
Rockwell for Collector, Thos. jackson for
Sheriff, J. +. Y. Edwards for Judge of Pro-
bate, and ID. f. Reese and j. L. AXE for
Treasurer-appear in this issue. More eX-
tended notice next week.
Sheriff Whitworth, accompanied by Jno.
Blemel, Esq, went to BoonyiIle Monday,
having in charge VIM. Smith, youth con-
yicted of horse stealing and sentenced TO
the reform school for two years. The
sheriff and his assistant will probably re-
turn to day.
We hope every reader of the REGISTER Is
taking in the ''Story of a Modern Giant"
which is being published from week to
week. 1t is clearly, ably written, and as
full of truth and instruct ion as an egg Is OF
meat. The instalments yet remaining viii
be found especially
w. T. Darlington, Springfield, called on
us Yesterday. He is candidate for SUPER
fntendent of Schools, and, as L former resi-
dent of Southeast Missouri, feels quite at
home in this section. Should Mr.. c. be
chosen, the State would have an official for
whom she need not blush.
Circuit Court adjourned last Friday eve
ming, after very busy session. The result
of its Iabors published in full on the OPP
posite page of this paper. 4 special session
of court will be held next month, beginning
June IL, when the Chambers, Turner and
Orrick eases will come up for trial.

Last week we were informed by the see
rotary of f. 4 l.. L. of Iron County that he
had two weeks before transmitted to us the
minutes of their late Quarterly Meeting,
and of course wanted our reason for not
publishing them. We had n most excellent
one which we want all to know: we never
received them-another evidence of the eff
ficiency of the mail service under Wanny
and Benny.
The first strawberries OF the season In this
valley made their appearance ut this oihce
Yesterday. They were grown on r.. j. SAILS
berry's ranch at Florida. The berries were
ALI large and Of exceedingly fine flavor. In
size and flavor they excel the San Diego
berries. Among the lot brought to this Oh
ice was one which measured hre lnches III
