| Ed. RegiSter-In our last weeks letter to
the REGISTER, we stated that probably Rev.
G. B1ough and family would arrive home
and in that event he would discourse to the
people at the NJ. E. Church; but, contrary
to expectations, they have not yet returned.
| A recent letter states that they will not re-
turn for some time. However, the people
were not disappointed, as a Rev. Mr.. Lane
of South st. Louis preached to a goodly
number, both in the morning and evening.
Rev. Saml Robinson of Pennington also
preached to a well-filled house at Work
mans hall, Saturday night and Sunday
morning and evening.
| Among the Irontonians who were taking
their outings through our little town yester-
day were Messrs. Jake and :Adolph Lopez
| and ladies. Messrs. Aug. Winkler and wife
| John Blemel and wife. The latter quartette
looked as though they bad had a wreck
| judging from the way the rear end of their
surrey was spintered and bandaged up.

county.

at Granite Bend the past four or five months,
came home yesterday, and will commence
work at p. W, Schneider & Sons quarries in

The S. G. Co. having secured another
small job, naturally puts new life in those of
US that are having the "blues" and as is an
old saying ''every little helps" SO it Is true
in this case.

TheElks monument consisting of three mas
Siye granite bases and die, to be erected in
St. Louis and to be unveiled the 14th instant,
is fast nearing completion. An Elk statue
cast of bronze will be credit to the society
through which 1t is being erected, and last
ly, will be great mark of respect to those
that have gone to that "bourne whence no
traveller returns" A highly polished band
adorns one side of the die in which will be
inscribed, "Elk's Rest" of eight inch letters.
What might have been a very destructive
and probably fatal fire was ayerted in time.
On last Thursday evening about s O'Clock
little Robert, son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. G..
Smith, threw small bottle accidentally
striking burning lamp, and seyering the
bowl from the stand, leaving the stand sit
ting on the table, through presence of mind
and quick as thought, Mrs. Smith soon ex-
tinguished the flames. A very heroIc act
indeed, for a lady in an accident ofths kind.

Little Hattie Crews has been presented
with tricy Gle by her papa as reward of
merit in acting as chief saeslady in the store.

flying aud encouraging to all her customers
well.
The young lassies Of our town, since their
lovers and sweet hearts have gone away,
have organized themselves into literary
club for the purpose of condoling the loss of
their dear ones, some of whom are very near,
but yet so far. They meet at different places
and on different evenings and, as they say,
have speech making, recitations, readings,
essays, croquette, &C., but, to who the
officers of the club are, your correspondent
can't catch on, but there is one thing we
have have caught on to, and that is their
late hours, but never fear, girls, We'll not
give you away.

est be is lecturing throughout his travels.
