The ground hog seems to have already got
his work in on the weather. The past week
has undoubtedly presented the coolest days
of the winter, but no ice yet, and the chances
deed.
Rev. DR.. T. f. c. James of Cape Girar-
deau was unable to fill his appointment at
the Episcopal Church in this city last Sun
day, but has written that he will surely be
on hand next Sunday. Services morning
and evening.
A petition is being circulated among the
property owners of the city, asking the City
Council to direct that all the houses on Main
street shall be numbered, counting one hum
dred to each block. very good suggestion
and certainly could do no harm.
Deputy Sheriff Baker of Reynolds county
came over to Ironton last week and took
Denny, the warrant forger, to st. Louis,
where he was lodged in Jail for safe keeping.
Denny wasn't favoraby impressed with the
change, but offered no serious resistance.
The addition to Mr.. Thomson's "valley
Home" in Arcadia, is completed, and adds
much to the appearance and comfort Of that
model resort. Mr.. T. now mas twice as
much room as he had formerly and will be
fully prepared to receive the visitors next
summer.
We have just been appraised that some re-
cent prospecting in Reynolds county has de-
veloped good vein of lead and silver with
the quartz containing some gold. The man
who owns the property has been offered
81, 900 for 80 acres Of the land but has re-
fused the offer.
Mr.. s. E. Buford has purchased from A.
Roehry, the vacant lot on NJ ain street, stu
ated between DR.. Nifong's residence and the
house occupied by MIR. Crozst. Mr.. Buford
intends to build residence thereon at once
and has already commenced preparations
for the foundation.
The vacancy In the County Court, caused
BY the death of Judge Clarkson, has not yet
been filled. Judge Kemper's friends are still
working for him, and the Annapolis Reform
Club, two hundred strong, ask the appoint
ment of Chas. Hart. The Governor, Will
likely take action this week.
We are informed that it is very likely that
q number of the mineral prospects around
IrontOn, will be worked during the coming
spring. If it were not on account of the
exhorbitant freight rates, necessary to get
the ores to the furnaces, there would be no
question but that considerable prospecting
would be done this season.
DR.. n. B. Carson, of st. Louis, arrived In
town to. day, and, assisted by Or. Strong,
will attempt the difficult operation In surg
erv of removing q tumor from the brain OF
of Mrs. c. Kuhn, who lives about four miles
below Ironton. Mrs. X. has been quite SICK
for some time past and it is thought that this
is the .nly,way of saving her life.
The Quarterly Meeting of the Iron County
F.SLU. in this city last week was fairly
attended and, we are told, proved an inter-
estiug aud profitable session. In ADDITION
to the resolutions published elsewhere, an
other. asking the F. NJ. b. A. mem oers OF
the Illinois Legislature to support Hon. Jno.
NJ. Palmer for u. S. Senator, was unani-
mously adopted.
Mr.. J. S. Hurlbut, formerly resident OF
Iropton. hut now of st. Louis, was in Iron
ton on business last week. Mr.. FL. has sey-
cred his connections with the Singer Co.,
and is now with the Standard as Superin-
tendent for Missouri, Arkansas, louisiana
Mississippi, and Tennessee. Mr.. ii. VIII es-
tabli.h headquarters at Memphis, ana snort
~ move his family to that point.
Some parties, we learn, affect to misunder-
stand the attitude of the REGISTER, when IL
last week printed what Rev. Crow had 10
say about the tendency Of church goers 10
pass the resident pastor by, for the "eVan-
geistic foreigner" As we have often stated
before, we reiterate it now, that we are on
the side of the home preacher every time'
and there is seldom any excuse for sighting
him and fsvoring the stranger.
We have just closed a revival meeting win
the Belleyiew Baptist Church, which result
ed in nineteen accessions. The Christian
people were gloriously revived, every one
seemed to esteem it \ privilege to go up to
the house of the Lord. DR.. ID. b. Kay OF 81.
Louis was with us two successive Sundays.
His sermons were listened to by large and
attentive congregations. and were mnch APP
preclated by all. r. M ohoosn'
