Ed. Register-There was watch meeting
at the NJ. E. Church on New Years Eve,
lasting until midnight, consisting of serv-
| ices of prayer and praise, preaching and
| conservation, etc. A good few were present,
and, we understand, Mr. E. J. Warrington
attached himself to the church. GOSSIP has
it that the good ladies of the church will give
an Apron and Nesktie Festival in the near
future. We trust they will and receive
bonntifully for their labor.
| Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. :. j. Mcleod on
the ID INST, son. Also, to Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Trauernicht fine boy on the Sd.
ported as doing nicely.
Rev. 0. NJ. Martin, Presiding Elder, held
quarterly meeting at the NJ. Z. Chuieh on
Saturday and Sunday at this place.
Mr.. Cha>. Sylvester, Il stone-cutter and an
old time employe of the S. G. Co. but late of
| Minneapolis, has returned and Will either
commence here or at Schneider Il Sons this
morning.
| Married, in Ironton, Wednesday, Deem
Der 31st, 1890, Mr.. George Marian to Miss
Fannie Kelly, both of Graniteville. After
the nupital knot was tied they returned to
the home of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence Kelly, where a large COM
pany of relations and friends and an elegant
| repast aw aited them. A fine display of wed
! ding presents were then shown, after which
few hours OF social dancing was engaged in.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marian will, for the present,
remain with the brides parents. That the
happy couple live long, happy and pros
porous life is the wish of "Tyro."
Mac Jones, while riding along on horse
back on New Years day had the misfortune
to lose the animal he was riding, although
sound and apparently in good health, it
dropped dead under both saddle and rider.
Why such sudden occurrence Mr.. Jones
cannot explain.
shooting match for chickens on New
Years day was engaged in by some of our
sporting fraternity, and is said that one of
our crack shots blowed away $500 before
fetching down chick, and while be could
have bought one from any of the many buck
sters that visit our town he would not, how
ever, have had but one twenty fourth part
of the fun.
Mr.. VIM. F. Lawrenz, an old time en-
ploye of the S. G. Co... has returned looking
hale and hearty. Mr.. L. will again be on
duty in the Company's Store at his old post,
SO we are informed.
1t is reported that d. w. Oesterle, chief
clerk in the Company Store, will resign his
position as such and embark in the mercan-
tile business on his own hook, locating in
Ghermanville, and will occupy the store
room vacated by Mr.. Joe Ranft. Whether
the report is correct or not we can't say, but
further developments will tell. Our opinion
is that Mr.. o. will have to be little more
accommodating and courteous toward Gus
toners in order to get his share of patronage.
In regard to the existing gossip about the
new postmaster in the south end of town
We feel constrained to say little OH the
matter to ''Snowfiake," of this place. He
attributes the reason as some of the results
of the last election; we Can say the recent
election of this precinct had very little if
anything at all to do with Mr.. Rutschilling's
appointment to the office, as the result was,
of course, Democratic victory, but his APP
pointment comes from the other side of the
house; his predecessor, Mr.. Joe Ranft, was
dyed-in- the wool Republican (appolnted
through the recommendation of Light eight
kinsey) who recommended Mr.. Rutschilllng
to the position, and his bond men are also
strong Republicans (but good men as for
that) of Ironton and Ghermanville, and they
will be responsible for bis actions in thus
doing business for the public under the EN-
ployment of the government. He prides
himself very highly as government ofhcer
and possessed of good educ alton also. Mr..
r. says he might have made one or two mis-
takes in his spelling, but..says he wrote it in
hurry and In short hand and further says
that the editor of the Truth was drunk. We
very much discredit this latter saying, but in
order to let the public know of which party
utilization Mr.. r. secured his position as
post master of Gherman vile, we felt it our
duty to state the facts of matter. In con-
clusion, on this subject, we will say Mr. r.
voted at the Democratic primary election,
but, as negot iations for the post-office were
pending during the general election, he sup
ported neither party. Who was it that said
Fitness and qualification should be thor
oughly looked into in recommending persons
for public Officer" Twas no less a person
than the Hon. Grover Cleveland, man of
whom this country can feel proud. AS
"Snowfiake" will soon become resident and
business man OF Mr.. Ruts chiIing's town he
might possibly become Mr.. RS successor.
. 1t Is rumored that Mr.. Brassell of Middle
brook will soon open up the Block saloon in
Ghermanvile and start butcher shop and
livery stable.
tits also correctly reported that Mr.. August
Block of Bismarck will open up butcher
shop at Middlehrook and that he intends
running wagon out to our town. Would
there were few more In the same business,
then we could get our meats at reasonable
prices. Let us see, taking for granted that
The last two named gentlemen will start in
the meat pedding business, we will then
have Messrs. Hancock, Sweeney, Thomas,
Brassel and Block. Unless they form beef
combine we may look forward for lively
times among the butchers.

and juggler. with the celebrated Latieur
family of artistic musicians, showed to
crowded houses last Thursday and Friday
nights, giving entire satisfaction and per-
forming some very difficult feats. Master
