''French Charley" of Iron Mountain was
brought down to Ironton last Thursday by
Marshal Patton on the charge of having dis
| charged firearms within the city limits a
couple of weeks previous. He pleaded
guilty next morning and was fined 50 and
costs, which were promptly paid. The de-
PENDANT had been down here on a spree, but
had succeeded in keeping his identity from
the officers until some one at the Mountain
gave him away.
| This is the first number of volume twenty
five. For just one year less than quarter
of century the REGISTER has been making
its weekly visits. The good, if any, it has
accomplished is known to all and the short
comings have been numerous. Our rela-
tions, commercially and socially, with our
patrons have been OF the pleasantest nature.
The REGISTER hasn't proved a bonanza, hut
measured by the standard of Southeast Mis-
souri, Journalism, it has prOspefed fairly
well. With continued health and no unfor-
seen calamities we hope 10 be here another
quarter century, and, in the meantime, may
we "all live long und prosper.
If this mornings weather is what the sig
nal service terms "slightIy cooler,' we don't
want any summer Billiards from that source.
Bro. Hicks, however, seems to have been
especially lucky in ''calling" July weather.
Following are his predictions for the re-
mainder of the month: "The presence of
the new moon added will cause storms on
the 9th and 9th. Cooler air and fresh ozone
will bring breathing spelp until about the
10th, when it will begin to grow very warm,
eliminating in excessively high temperature
and storms about the 18th, 18th and 18th.
Note the 18th and 18th. Another breathing
spelp may intervene before the reacti0nary
movements on and next to the 18th. From
sd to Goth is the next period of storm and
change. Among the hottest days of sum-
mer about this time"
1t gives us pleasure to note that that
whole-souled Christian gentleman and true
and faithful Democrat, Mr.. w. A. Ryan, is

This is what late number of the Little
Rock Gazette, containing a "write-up" of
Searcy, says about the Sulphur Springs
hotel: "This commodious place has recent
ly been oyerhauled and retitted by w. A.
Ryan, an experienced hotel man, late of
Ironton, Mo. 1t is capaclous building with
large, well-ventiated rooms and long CALLER
les extending around it. The yard is a
beautiful summer retreat, with spreading
oaks that make an inviting shade, when the
mercury is up in the nineties. The hotel is
situated near the sulphur and chalybeate
springs. The table fare is excellent, and
those who patronize the Sulphur Springs
Hotel during the heated term may rest as
sured of one of the most pleasant summer
homes to be found in the country"
Rev. j. Nelson, he of the new creed that
held forth in Ironton for some time, but left
here about six months since for Reynolds
county, doesn't seem to be meeting with uni
versal admiration and esteem over there.
This Is what the Centrevil!e RefOrneer says
of Nelson and his cOnfreres: 1.-TWO more
persons of the ilk of the Rev. Nelson have
come among the ever sacrificing saints on
Sinking Creek to spend the summer and
share the pittaIce of pork and beans which
may fall to the lot of these poor people.
Under the pref ense of preachers Of a new
religion, old Nelson and his companions are
going the rounds of the country sponglng
their living off those whom they are able to
dupe into believing their false doctrine"
Here follows charge so scandalous that we
will not publish it without absolute proof.
The RefO1mer says, further: "The authori-
ties should look into this matter, and if they
do not, the people ought, and give these
vagabonds and workers of corruption their
orders to seek another Cline"
Another "gIorious fourth" has come and
gone. Another day of whizz and boom in
commemroation of that suspicious occasion
now gone hundred years and more. In
the Valley the day was duly observed by
large gathering at Goulding's Park. The
Declaration was read and Mr.. Walker deliy-
cred an Grafton fitting the time and place.
The weather was admirable and the day
very pleasant one. Those who didn't at
tend the picnic here, mostly went to Iron
Mountain or Marble Greek. At the former
place there was an especially large turnout
aud all passed off happily without accident
or disturbance of any kind the Iron Noun
tain folk again fully demonstrating the fact
that as picnic managers they can't be beat.
Down on Marble Creek-both at Seillinger's
and Hurst's-we are told that very pleasant
times were had, everybody enjoying them
selves and celebrating the day in keeping
with good patriotism. In town the small
boy kept up the usual noise, and those who
didn't attend the picnics, but stayed at home
had frequent and forcible reminders that it
was "the day we celebrate" In the evening
there were several beautiful displays of fire.
works and one or two balloon ascensions.
Some Of the former, especially, extending
into the hours of night. There were rock
cts, candles, and all sorts of pyrotechnics.
The night was dark and the beautiful figures
of lire and flame darting through blackened
space, were pleasing and charming. Then
came, quiet, rest and peaceful repose. The
enemy had been whipped again!
