Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1890-11-20
From GoodIand.

| Ed. Register-Farmers out here have beer
pretty busily engaged for the greater part o
the past three weeks gathering corn. Thos,
who have gathered report fairly good yielG
in quantity, but rather poor in quality.
The meeting at Goodland, of which spoke
in my last, closed after "a protrac,ed series o.
nearly two weeks. There were eight acees.
sions to the church, two of whom Joined by
letter. Following are names of those bap.
TIED by Rev. j. II. Adams on the fourth
Sabbath in October: Mrs. Mullen, Yancy
| Shipp, Nancy Strickiin, Nancy Sumpter
| Mrs. Ray, Mrs, S. StricklIn. A good work
has been done in the right place.
Reports say that Joseph Clark, "a half-witt.
| ed man, of Huzzah, Dent county, was killed
| by one DotsOn not long ago. / do not know
the particulars in the case. Dotson gave
himself up to the Sheriff of Dent county,
| pleading self-defense.
| Married, on the 10th ultimo, at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, Miss Lucy Dem
Nilsson to Mr.. George Goggin. Long may
| they wave,
d. r. Adams, formerly a student of Good
land school, is now working in the Post Dis
Patch office, st. Louis, at $4,000 a mouth.
Success to you, Romano.
The election being over people have once
more quit talking on the tariff subject.
Those who were defeated may congratulate
themselves that the defeat is no worse. The
Republican reverse may be traced directly
to the Mckinley bill and to the Federal cleo
ton bill. While the Mckinley bill is not so
bad as represented, it is far from being good.
There was no excuse for an increase in du
ties on any article, unless it was necessary
in order to maintain the loose system of pen
sion, which is getting to be diabolical out
rage on humanity, to put it mildly. Let the
Republican leaders make such another blun-
der as they did during this Congress, and
the zig" is up with them.
A gentleman" from Middlebrook was out
here not long ago trying to purchase cattle.
He offered the writer only 50 for three-year-
old heffars. but got "tight' on hard cider
and paid $l3 for o-year-od heifers else
where. There is more money in cider than
there is in cattle.
Mr.. Wess Newman, Caledonia, was out
here on the 10Th inst, having been down to
the Camp Ground. There appears to be a
phenomenal attraction for him at that place.
Rev. j. r. Adams spent two or three hours,
on the afternoon of the 9th inst, visiting the
school at Good!and.
Mr.. Marion Anderson, Goodwater, was
oyer here on the Sth inst.
Houston Latham made a trip to Caledonia
on the 18th.
The Germans, who came from St. Lous to
Edge Hill for the purpose of hunting, were
given to understand that they should not
run their gang of hounds. They have no
right TO bring in a car load of hounds to
chase all the deer out of the woods. and, if
such cannot be properly checked by legisla
ton, neck-tie party would do valuable
service in certain localities.
Our mail route is getting to be very nearly
useless again. The REGISTERS for Good
land and Clones offices have failed to arrive
at the proper time more than once within
three weeks past; and it is said that the
Truth has failed to arrive two or three times
within the past month. l am not q chronic |
grumbler nor pessimist, but should like to |
have my mail when due. 1t is very evident |
that some post master along the route is very |
careless, to say the least. =.
