We have discharged our society editor ant
the situot1on is now open to some party wei
qualified for the duties thereof. The indi

readers too frequently in regard to that

we do insist on from all members of ouI
staff it is that their news be reliable.

Jerry Hardin colored individual, brought
suit in Judge Dinger's Court last Thursday
against Mrs. Kaesmacher, of Pilot KNOT, for
twenty-five dollars and some cents. Jerry
claimed that this amount was due him for
labor he had performed during the past
season on Mrs. KS farm. The case was
tried by a jury who brought in verdict for
the plaintiff for the sum of S1490. Mrs. h.
has,we understand, appealed the case to the
Circuit Court.
We understand that certain Republicans
assert thatJ. T. Axes removal is consequent
upon the Democratical expressions which
have from time to time, and ct all times,
| characterized the makeup of the REGISTER.
If this be SO, we are proud of the evidence
given tnat We are able to gall the jaded sides
! of our adversaries. OF one thing "our
friends, the enemy,,' may rest assured:
they can find file In the Departments at
Washington no begging letters from him or
any member of his family asking his reten-
ton.

on Tuesday evening of last week was large
ly attended and proved one of the most
successful entertainments of the Holidays.
The assembled company was merry one
and the admirers of Terpsichore seemed to
throw their whole souls into the sport as
they danced out the old and waltzed in the
new! The festivities were continued till the
wee, sma' hours, and the breakfast bells
were ringing over town before the last tired
dancer left the hail. 4

We have inadvertently heard of the mar |
rage of Miss Emma Peck which occurred |
in Oakdale, Nebraska, about a week since.
Miss Peck is well known in Irorton, she
having spent most of her life here but has |
been a resident of Nebraska for the past |
three years. Our information in regard to
the affair is meagre and we must be eX
cused for not furnishing Il more extended |
notice. The groom's name we learn, is |
Davis. Anyway with or without particulars |
of the joyful occasion, Miss Emma, the REG |
IsTER wishes you future replete with bliss |
and prosperity.
Gums Ideals opened an engagement in
the Aca denny of Music in this city last night, |
presenting the beautiful and affecting drama,
"Hazel kirle." The rendition was excel
lent, and gave unmistakable evidence that
several members of the company have both
the ability and training which is certain to
win success and fame in their profession.
The orchestra is also good. In fact the
whole troupe is first class and we hope to
see them literally patronized during their
stay which will likely continue the rest of
the week with matinee Saturday afternoon.
Reserved seats can be secured at Crisp's |
for thirty-five cents. Our readers can rest |
about the combination. 1t is good one
and well deserving of crowded houses.
The exceedingly heavy rainfall of last |
Tuesday and Wednesday disfgured the |
railroad both north and south of here and |
for several days of last week trains were
few and far between. The trouble north of |
here was the usual ''land-slide" at Cliff Cave,
and on the south, the cessation in traffic was
owing TO several washOuts and a bridge miss
ing between Mill Spring and Poplar Bluff.
After No. 154 went north Wednesday no
passenger train passed through here until
the following afternoon about 3 O'Clock when
both of the night trains due the night before
and No. 151 all went south within an hour.
The north bound trains did not reach here
until five or six hours later. Until Sunday
the night passengers were discontinued and
We received all our mail by the day trains.
The "land-slide" at Cliff Cave was soon
overcome, but the trouble on the south end
was not SO easily mastered and all trains
south from the time the break oc-
Cured until Friday night had to be held at
Piedmont or Mill Spring. AT one time, it is
said that there were as many as thirty coach
es filled with travellers on tho track at Pied
mont. The damage resulting from the over
flow in that vicinity was great and not coa-
fined to the railroad company, as the report
says that in the Black River bottoms, it is
