Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1891-10-22

Knocked senseless. His comrades believed
him dead, or breathing his last, and sent for
Squire Hampton, twelve miles away, at An
napolis, to come and hold an inquest over
the remains. But when the Squire came,
behold! the injured man had partly recov-
cred, and the inquest had to be indefinitely
postponed. We learn that Mr.. Heath is
getting well, and NAV live to sit on a coron-
er's jury, instead of being sat upon.
Bro. Flynn of the De Soto Gazette paid a
flying visit to Ironton Tuesday evening last
week. He came in on the Arcadia Accom-
mediation, at S:15 P. NJ, and went out on the
same train at six O'Clock next morning; so
his time here was short, and the weather in
clement, but thi, unhappy conjunction Of
circumstances did not prevent his finding
his way to the REGISTER sanctum, where he
found US busiIy engaged in the usual ardu
Gus duties OF the profession. We regret his
stay was necessarily short, but hope to see
and hear more of him at another time.
As the readers of the REGISTER will have
noticed, the popular merchant of Belleview,
| MIR. W. X. Read, is now conducting his bust
mess sOlus, having dissolved the partner
| ship with Mr.. Reyburn. In this come ction
| it is perhaps we'll enough to say that though
| the firm name has been contract ed, the
stock offered to customers has been expand
ed so Il. to embrace all the latest novelties
| and styles of the season, in everything that
goes to make up firt- class "country store"
Charging but small advance upon the
wholesale prices OF his goods, Mr.. Il. feels
confident that he can satisfy the most exact
of hi
wares and prices.
By order of the St. Louis Ore and Steel
Company, Joe Price removed the household
goods and effects of the Carriers from one OF
the Company's houses, last Thursday. He
took the goods and family on wagon and
transported them to Il place in the woods
west of Shepherd Mountain, and there
dumped the entire outfit. 1t is claimed the
famiiy-of which are the mother and two
daughters, beside father and son-are not
desirable tenants, aud the Company in self
defence was compelled to dispo>sess them.
This is rather trying season of the year
for outdoor life, and there is little doubt
that the county will be called upon to keep
the "unfortunates."
Bulletin No. 3 of the Geological Survey of
NJ issouri is received, and is OF special inter
est to residents of this section of the State.
1t treats of the age and origin of the crys-
talline rocks of the State, and about twenty
five pages of the pamphlet are devoted to
Iron and st. Francois counties. Pilot Knob
occupies prominent place, and is fully de-
scribed-its formation, mineral veins, tun-
nels, etc. The descriptions are illustrated,
Of I'll ntair1
tunnels, etc, ale true to the origir ais. 1t is
our purpose at an early date to reprint
this portion of the Bulletin, confident that
nothing of a more interesting nature could
be placed before the reader.
State Auditor Seibert, on his return home
ward from the Southeastern District Fair,
took his route by way of Ironton, and we
had pleasant call from him Monday. He is
in excellent health, above the average in
weight, stature and good looks, and may be
said to be typical representative of this
region, where full grown manhood oftenest
attains its ideal. In addition to this, Mr.. S.
is an excellent official. and his department
of the State Government is the epitome of
careful, prompt and systematical admins
tration. His sojourn in this section-taken in
lieu Of the usual summer vacation-was cut
short by telegram calling him home, with
er he goes with the good wishes Of his
friends, whose name is legion.
Rev. F. NJ. Shoush, now visiting at Column
bia, in attendance upon the Baptist General
Association, writes under date of the 10Th:

Major Henry A. Newman filled his ap-
Owing to bad weather and other circum-
stances he was greeted by very small audi |
ence. His lecture on the Confederate Home |
was a very happy effort to create sentiment
favorable TO that institution. He opened |
mis- lie ,ture by reciting the story OF our first |
parents in the garden of Eden and the fall
of man, in which he claimed that, while Eye |
was the original transgressor, Adam was ac- |
cessory; and that Adam was the meaner of |
the two because he turned states evidence |
against the woman. He carried his audience |
further and recited the parable of Ruth and |
Naomi, and the devotion of Mary the mother
of Jesus, and said that if Eye transgressed, |
Ruth made PREPARATION and Mary made atone
ment. All this he applied to the South, |
claiming that if the South had sinned in |
contending for what she conceived to be the
right, her noble sons-batt e-scarred and |
defeated as they were-in returning to their |
desolate homes, aad in their efforts to make |
reparation: and that their wives and daught. |
ers, in their heroic devotion to their hus-
bands and fathers, had made sufficient atone
ment for whatever wrong might have been |
done. He cited statistics showing the mater |
ial growth of the country as whole, ana of |
Missouri especially, under reconstruction,
and referred to our recently threatened |
trouble with Italy, and claimed that if few
