Bill Visits The Log Cabin.

MIDDLEBROOK. Mo-, Nov. 5, 1892.
r. SMITH. GRANITEvILLE, Mo.
Dear Sir and BrOther-I took in the
log cabin in good shape, and don't you
forget it. 1t is put up in grand style,
and am sorry can't afford one like it.
When opened the door, l got fright
ened at the screeching of the hinges;
fell over dead for awhile, and my wife
got frightened and took for the woods,
but by Mr.. Shepherds assistance, we
all came to again. had to get rope
and tie 1t to my wife and drive her in,
but all the same we got in and seated
ourselves, and we unlocked the drug
store and took drink on the old
gentleman's health and hoped he would
enjoy the cabin for fifty years to come.
After my wife had taken the drink, she
happened to see the ducks hanging up
under the roof. She got up and shut
the door: she was afraid some of them
would get out; and about fifteen min
utes after that she swore she could
lick old man Sheppard or any of his
carpenters. So you might know the
whisky was good and did its duty; but
after having all this trouble we enjoyed
the place very much for the little while
we were there-and many thanks to
your father for trusting me with his
keys, as think he will do we'll by find
ing all his bottles there.

/ Judge E. j. Langdon died at his
summer residence in the Valley on
Sunday morning, November 9th, from
heart disease. This announcement was
shock to the entire community for
the Judge had been in town the day
before, evidently in his usual health.
He paid the REGISTER Office call about
four o'clock that evening, and in the
course of conversation remarked that
he was feeling unusually well. He
arose Sunday morning, had breakfast,
family prayers were just closed, and
was sitting in a chair preparatory to
going Sunday school. OF a sudden
Mrs. Langdon, who was in the room,
noticed his head fall forward on his
breast, and, going to him, found that
he was dead. The end came as flash,
no premonition, no suffering, no pain.
Peacefully and TRANQUILITY the spirit
had departed. The remains were taken
to Dunklin county for interment the
following Tuesday. 1t can truly be
said that the deceased was in every
sense a Christian gentleman. Honor
able, highminded and charitable, he
probably did not have an enemy in the
world. Those like him are few indeed
and the place made vacant by his de-
mise will not soon be filled. The REG
IsTER tenders its assurances of sympa-
thy to the bereaved family.
Says a valued correspondent: at is
our painful duty to announce the I'M
timely death of Tom For the benefit
of those who are not acquainted with
this renowned parsonage, we will add
that Tom was an educated crow, own
ed by our barber. Will Elsman. For
ment of the children and the plague of
the older folks. Sometime ago one of
our good housewives had pan contain
ing dozen broken eggs, preparatory
to baking cake, setting on back
porch. When ready to use them she
went out for the eggs, but what was
her surprise when she found the pan
empty and Tom perched on the gal
lery with a far-away look in his dreamy
eyes, but with the convicting proof of
egg upon his bill. He would perch for
hours upon the sewing-machine of our
tailor, watching him at his work with
a sagaciOus and knowing look. When
an opportunity would afford he would
seize a needle and thimble and make
off with his prize. After depositing it
at one of his many hiding places he
would return, and, with a series of low
chuckles, seem to exult in his theft.
One day the barber heard a commotion
in his shop and upon entering found
Tom with blade of an open razor in
his bill, which he was trying to confis-
cate. He managed to get out of the
door with it, but its weight proved too
much for him and he dropped it in his
flight. Many other anecdotes could be
told of Tom and many of the petty
thefts could be traced to him. His
owner always prophesied for him an
early death, which prediction has be-
come true. Last Friday some boys
wading in the creek found poor Tom
on his back, with his feet in the air.
At post mortem examination, which
was held, his death was pronounced
due to wrung neck"

j. S. Jordan, VIM. Fletcher, P. w.
Whitworth and VIM. r. Edgar of Iron

Edgar made a splendid Democratic
speech, despite the fact that the aud
ience was very small, and small aud
fences are not calculated to inspire a
speaker to put forth his best efforts.
The small number of people out to hear
Mr.. Edgar was owing principally to
the fact that the weather was dark and
murky and the roads muddy.
Two more days and the quietest cam
paign within the memory of the writer
will have ended. We have seen more
excitement ouer the election of a town
ship trustee in Indiana than has been
exhibited here over this election. There
is something strange about it. An eria
of good feeling must have set in. 1t
seems that the people have long since
made up their minds as to how they
will vote and are calmly awaiting cleo
ton day. But there are two other
reasons for this state of things, Mr..
Editor. One of these is the fact that
our people are united in a desire to
build up our town and are determined
not to let passion stand in the way.
The other reason, Mr.. Editor, and,
perhaps the greatest reason of all, is
the fact that most all our good people
are Odd Fellows. Men who two years
ago were as far apart as the poles of
the earth, so to speak, are working in
double harness. shoulder to shoulder.
striving each to outstrip the other in
kind words and actions. Toiling on
up the hill of life with the good of the
community atheart and inspired by the
good results already obtained they
have their hands upon the plow and
will not look back because they are
Odd fellows.

political enthusiasm manifest out here.

subject from the neighborhood gossip
to belles-lettres. and not once bring up
the subject of political. But chanced
to hear a good Democrat say not long

one dollar bushel for it. I happen
