Robert f. Wingate. ex-attorney-gen-
eral and eX-judge-advocate- OF
Missouri, was il Belleville on Monday
and Tuesday, on legal business in our
circuit court. His genial face and
humorous talk carry laughter wherever
he goes. In spite of age, he is liviL g
proof of the truth contained to the ad-
age-laugh and grow fat. Southern
Illinois feels all its wonted interest in
Bob Wingate, the early friend and

ruary 9th, at Belleview. Mo. Prof. w.

teresting and profitable convention.

subject connected with Sabbath School
work.
There is in our sanctum a specimen
of disseminated lead ore from the shaft
recently sunk on Flat River in st.
Francois county by the Southeast Mis-
souri, Mining Association. The vein
from which the specimen was taken is
between seventy and eighty feet thick,
and of unknown extent. The Company
will put up a plant sufficient to smelt
at least two hundred pigs per day,
and to this end has increased its capital
stock $4,000. This strike is prob
ably the largest known even in that
famous lead region, and we all join in
congratulating the lucky projectors of
the enterprise.
From present indications it would
seem that success is assured, and that
the Lectures will be given. Already,
half of the required number of tickets
have been sold, and little further eff
fort will secure the other half. But
the time is short, and it is desirable
that intending purchasers secure tickets
early. For Lectures of the character
of those to be given, and the known
ability of the gentlemen who will give
them, the price of the tickets is ex-
tremely low. Let the number be rap
idly increased, and thus give the
speakers such hearing as will be an
inspiration TO them.
DIED-At the residence of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Walters, at Pilot Knob, Mo-,
on Tuesday, February I'd, 1892, at $50
A. NJ, Mrs. JUsTINA GRANDHOMME, aged
81 years, months and l day. Mrs. |
wa born in Nierstien,
Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and mar
ried, reared her children, and resided |
in her native place until she had at
tanned the ripe age of seventy years. |
Then, having lost her husband by |
death, and her sons having emigrated |
to America, she followed them, and |
came to Piloa Knob. Up to five or six |
years ago, Mrs. G. was hale and hearty, |
nothing of walking from the |
Knob to Ironton, but the death of her |
son, Jacob Grandhomme, of this place, |
was a severer blow than time had dealt. |
and she began to fail rapidly. She
was bedfast for two years, and death |
The funeral will take place tomorrow
Thursday at 2 o'clock p. M, and the
remains will be inferred in the Mason

The Truth last week fell into the
same hole the REGISTER darkened
about year ago. Our readers will
remember that upon one occasion their
papers were decorated with vacuous
space in the Graniteville items, said
space having been filled with a news
item detailing the result of rattle at
CnaG place. Inc cutting was uldue Dy
demand of the postmaster here who
decided that said item rendered the
paper unavailable under the anti-lot-
terry postal law. The Third Assistant
Postmaster-General,t to whom a copy of
the delinquent issue was sent, sustained
Postmaster Beard in his ruling. Last
weeks Truth contained an account of
rattle at Middlebrook, and the post
master refused to admit the paper to
the mails. Bro. Cundiff appealed to
Inspector Dice at st. Louis, who wired
Mr.. Beard to let the papers go-that
the violation of law was merely tech
meal. At first, the postmaster, having
the ruling of the superior powers, re-
fused to accede; but upon a second
telegram, he let them go-appealing to
the Postmaster-General, however, in
order to know what he shall do here
after. When the decision comes we
shall publish it, together with the law
which has caused the ENHANCEMENT.
