Mr.. Lewis Volner of Syente, Missouri was
visiting the boys part of last week in our
town.
Miss Mary Beeves, of st. Francois county.

| Mis-. j. McLaren.
The Maude Oswald Concert Company, that
showed at Workman's Hall on Thursday
night last, was well attended, but the east
was the poorest make up ever presented to
| the people of this town. Their first act was,
however, passabie, but as a whole twas a
very snide affair. The twain, of which there
were only two of them, left town very early
next morning, with their grips in hand, on
foot at very great speed, heading toward
MiddIebrook. Well say this much, bowev-
er, our town folks, to a pretty general eX
tent, patronize everything of an entertaining
character that comes along, but we have
been humbugged so much here lately by such
shows as the last one proved to be, that it's
getting intolerable and should not receive
any patronage at all. We confess we were
one of the humbugged.
Some twelve or fifteen paving makers and
drillers left last week for Granite Bend; it is
expected more will follow shortly.
The Apron and Necktie Festival for the
benefit of the NJ. f. Church held in Work.
mans Hall on last Friday night was grand
success, both socially and financially. Moth
| ing to mar the enjoyment of any one, and
everybody was abundantly supplied. Some
choice singing was INDUCED in at intervals
by the choir, which was one of the features
! of the evening in making the occasion a
most enjoyable affair. Great credit Is to be
given the committees for their characteristic
hustling walters, ticket selling and in fact
| to all whom such duties devolved The net
proceeds of which will be applied to the
pastors salary is right at $500, which
amount, we think pretty fair. considering
the present outlook for the continuance of
work.
On Saturday evening last, some of our
young and middle aged folks gathered them
selves together at Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Pick
ards. and the company en- nldsse, marched
| to the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs VIM
Browns, completely enveIoping them in
surprise for the purpose of a few hours
| social merriment. The host and hostess,
| however, not to be out done by the intrud-
ing party, set about in way pleasing to
| those present to make the hest of it, and, as
there are no flies on William, and the man
ner IN which he aud his good wife entertain
guests, was highly appreciated by all who
were present.
| The changeable weather has opened up uur
sick list again. A little daughter of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Chas. Reno is at this writing, reported
! sick, of what nature we are not inform ed /.
Also, little Clara, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. Hanson, Is sick with some sort of rash,
but is getting along nicely.
Dir. and Hous. Varner's little niece is also

| Mr.. Geo. Marian, who has heen spoken of
previously in the REGISTER as accidentally
| shooting himself in the leg while out hunt
| Ing, is still confined 10 the house. The
wound is healing up very slowly and as yet
does not show very satisfactory appear
ance. 1t is to be hoped however, that he
will soon be able TO be around.
