Ed. Register-The all-absorbing topic OF
conversation now is the Indian war, Jack
Dempsey's defeat and the letters of Messrs.
Walsh and Oesterle in the Ironton papers
on "Tyro." AS Gen. Miles says the war is
practically over, and ia tx Dempsy is con-
coded by all to have been squarely and fairly
Knocked out, it now remains to be seen how
"Iyro" will come out in his battle, as Mr..
Oesterle says he is also on the warpath, not
with Wlnchesters but with pen. We will
say this was news to US and was rather sur.
prising to use the term, for we had not
dreamt Of going on the warpath this cold
weather or in fact at any time.
Prof. Delmonto, with his troupe, struck
our town again last week, billed to show at
WOrkman's Hall on Friday and Saturday
nights, but only showed to a very small
crowd on the first evening. The second
evening proved failure, owing to some
trouble in their financial transactions. Joe
Stafford, livery man at Pilot Knob, brought
the troupe to Graniteville, and, as they fall
ed to meet their hack fare, Mr.. S., it seems,
got possession of one of their musical instru-
ments "a corneD and demanded his pay at
the hall door, and, while thus engaged in
conversation with one OF their troupe, the
Snowman grabbed the instrument from out
OF Joe's hand, and shut the door and, in so
doing, Mr.. S. was at his rows end, so far as
his scouting his pay was concerned for the
time being. AS to whether the matter was
afterward settled or not your informant did
not learn. They left town yesterday busted
financially and busted in company, also
SIX ipping their board bill, SO we are told, to
the tune Of So
\ nice drove Of fat porkers, fifty.two in
number, passed through our town on Sat-
urdag en- route to Mr.. August Blocks
slaughter pens in Middlebrook, bought of
Mr.. Alcorn, of Belleview, at So. % per hum
dred pounds. 1t is presumed from this that
August will have plenty of pork chops for
his customers, now that he makes regular
trips with his meat wagon.
Mr.. Alex Graham and family spent Satur-
day and Sunday with relatives near Pilot
Knob, the guests of Judge Hancock.
Mr.. Geo. Marlin, who, while out hunting
one day last week, accidentally shot himself
in the leg, Is getting along very well and
b pes to be able to he around in a few days.
Rev Mr.. Crow, of the West End, filled the
pulpit ut the NJ. f. church yesterday, deliv-
ering an excellent discourse to a fair house.
Mr.. Mart Gordon. q stone gutter of the
state of Vermont, is among the late arrivals
to our town; also Mr.. Alex McNish of
Granite Bend; Mr.. Men. is now tending bar
for Joe Wilson.
John McGahan, who has been doing bust
ness in Ghermanyille, has, through the order
OF his physician, retired, in order that be
may regain his former good health.
Work with the 5. q. Co. is again rushing,
but at Schneider Il Sons nothing doing as
yet. 1t is thought, however, that work will
be resumed In a few days. Also nothing
much doing at Messrs. Lopez & Sheehan's,
owing to the late heavy snow which placed
their Guarrias in bad condition Mr.. Shee-
han informs us that they will be in shape in
short time.
Don't forget the newly organized orches-
tra's ball on Saturday evening, and come
early to avoid the rush.
1t is reported that Mrs. Cbamberliu. of
Ironton, will give concert at Workman,s
Hall on Thursday night at this place. To
this end we trust she will have a good turn
out.

day last week weighing 107 pounds. Good
