Ed. Register-Several of our local
sports have been bagging lots of game
in the past few days. 1t is said that
John Snasdell has carried off the belt,
having, as to bagging the greatest
number, been promoted sergeant of the
rank. Some of the boys however, have
been very unlucky, and as result, feel
pretty sore of having been classed as
s'tail enders''. Cheer up, boys, .sif at
first you don't succeed''-well you know
the rest.
| Mrs. John Snasdell with her little
boy, Herman, has returned home from
st. Louis, where she has been with him
under medical treatmen for scarlet fever
for the past four weeks. The little fell
low, though not entirely well, is able
to be around.
| Mrs. Louis Burton, who has been in
delicate health for the last six months,
left yesterday for St. Louis, and will
go to Mullanphy hospital for medical
care and treatment and where she
hopes soon to recover her former good
health.
Billy O'Brien at this writing, after
having undergone another surgical OPP
GRAFTON, is reported little better.
Born-To Mr.. and Mrs. John Archie
recently, little baby. All parties in
terested doing good.
The Syenite Granite Company are
putting on more men in the line of
block making, and business in this line
is booming up little, but in the di-
| mension cutting line, it does not look
SO favorable just now; yet we can't tell
| while the outlook in trade is dull, the
prospects are frightening every day
POLITICALLY speaking) for the victory of
the Democratic party from Grover
Cleveland down to the constable. The
Republican party is feeling just about
as blue, in our little village, as is pos
sible-all things considered. Some
of them have already been heard to re-
mark that they were '.goin' Il huntin'
on that day"
The concert to be given under the
management of Mr.. J. K. SINNERS, for
the benefit of the NJ. f. Church. at
vember 10th, promises to be something
grand. The orchestral part will be
composed of fourteen pieces and will
discourse some of the latest and best
selections. The objects and aims of
concert and entertainment are for a
noble cause, and should receive large
patronage.
Mr.. Alex Hannah, of Syenite, Mis-
souri,, and who has been foreman of the
stone cutting department for the John
B. O'Meara Jour next Lieutenant Gov
ernor) Granite Company of that place
is in town, and will assume the duties
in the same capacity for the Syenite
Company. Mr.. H. is not stranger to
the Company, nor to the people in this
vicinity, and his ability as foreman in
this line is AL His experience in the
granite business, with his knowledge
as quarryman, cutter and craftsman,
renders him practically an all-round
man, and one, too, who is qualified to
give entire satisfaction, both to en-
ployer and employe.
Mike Foley received a telegram yes
terday from Mr.. Michael Ferris, at
Syenite, Missouri, to send a hearse and
casket to that place, to convey the re-
mains of his brother. Thomas, who had
died at that place with typhoid fever,
to Middlebrook, where the body was in
tered. Deceased was about 26 years of
age, formerly worked at his trade, stone
cutting, in this place, and about four or
five months ago, was welded to Miss
Sofa Kness, niece of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker Kness, of Graniteville. After
their marriage, they moved to Syenite,
where they have since resided until
Sunday last, when death separated the
once happy couple, and has taken from
her a loving and obedient husband.
Deceased had only been sick about three
weeks, and while the Allwise Creator,
has been pleased to remove by death,
from this to life beyond, the heartfelt
sympathies of this whole community are
with the wife in the sad hour of bereav-
ment. And with the consoling thought
that her temporal loss is her eternal
gain; and that she may derive comfort
in knowing that he has gone to receive
eternal reward for a life which has
been crowned by the most noble acts
towards all, and is there waiting for
the dear one left behind. NOVICE.
