over the workings of their extensive plant at
this place during part Of last week, return
ing to the city yesterday.
The concert given under the auspices OF
the NJ. E. church choir, consisting of choice
singing and select reading, on last Wednes-
day evening, was, we are sorry to state,
poorly attended. Why it was thus we cam
not imagine; one thing we can saw, however,
those that failed to go missed rare treat.
1t is further hoped that their Apron and
Necktie Festival to be given about the 18th
inst, will be largely patronized, and that it
will avail much.
Our sick list at this writing is about to be-
come blank except few light cases of colds,
which, as matter of course, is at all times a
chronic complaint.
Mr.. j. NJ. Crews and salesman, Fred. Kill
lalee, made flying trip to the city last week
for the purpose of laying in big stock of
goods.
Master Harry Bateman, agent for the
Chicago Blade and Ledger, is hustler so 70
speak, having a weekly sale of eighty Blades

guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Graham.
Rev. DIR. Barnum Of Texas and Rev. B. c.
Barnum of st. Louis are visiting relatives in
town, the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Brough
DR.. Barnum delivered an able discourse at
the NJ. E. church on last Sunday morning at
IL O'Clock, also in the evening at O'Clock to
a Well filled house.
Rev. Mr.. Ausberry is at present conduct
ing protracted meeting at Workmen's Hall.
So far there has been no additions to the
church, but is evident some good is being
manifested, and large turn out at every
meeting is the result. As to how long the
meeting will continue is a matter of course
depending on the manifest good done at
each meeting.
AS work is gettirg little slack with the
S. G.. Co., they have found it necessary from
an economical view of the situation to lay of
some of their largely employed force and in
consequence laid of 56 on last Saturday, but
only temporarily,we trust, and that in few
days prospects will brighten up so that they
will be called back again with increased
numbers.
Mr.. Nix, our photographer, returned from
Piedmont, where he has opened stand at
that place and will close up his place of bus
mess here for the present and will return to

Through the course of human events man
is liable to err, and now, after due and ma
ture consideration, we have concluded TO
say little more anent the trouble now ex-
listing in our town over little newspaper
controversy. AS regards matters precipitat-
ed by ye scribe and Snowflake" of the
Truth, of which we can conceive of no other
thought than that "Snowflake's" first letter
to the Truth contained an article that has
been the whole cause of this racket, which
your correspondent took exceptions to,
and, IN order to explain matters, we used
persons names in connection with our re-
marks that called forth other comments and
letters that only purported to make matters
worse instead of ameliorating them. We at
once took steps to retract our attack on Mr. {.
Oesterle and offered in return an apology, OF
which, till yet, has had very little, if any, eff
feet, and as these remarks called out Mr..
Walsh in support of Mr.. O., with scathing
Mr.. WIS letter and, in so doing, we had &C.
casion to use some pretty harsh language 20
express our opinion, but, after due refec-
ton, we are now sorry that we ever used
Mr.. Walsh's name in connection with the
matter, and, in order that justice may be
done him, we offer our utmost apologies.
and trust that the readers of the REGISTER
will construe the matter in the light through
which it is offered, setting Mr. Walsh right
before the public and thus bringing matters
in regard to the "war, war, war;" as "Snow-
flake" says, to an end for all time to come.
So far as "Tyro'' is concerned, as we said
before, we are sorry that the matter was no.
given deeper thought in the start, but, as we
were altogether too hasty, Gas it is now our
candid opInion) and for the respect and
esteem of the party in question. we feel it
our sense of duty in offering the foregoing
apologies which we hope will be accepted
by all parties interested in the light and
sense through which it is aimed.
