Mr.. Editor, send you a clipping
from the Cole county Democrat, pub
lished at Jefferson City, containing
sketch of our representa-
tive, Hon. Joel B. Holloman, for your
reproduction in the REGISTER, and for
the edifcation of the more curious ones
who are anxious to hear what the hon
orable gentleman is doing. Novice, /"
for one, is very well satisfied with the
gentleman's work in the House of Rep
resentatives, having seen from time to
time his actions on different measures,
and quite approves of them: "a young
man of intelligent views upon public
matters is the Hon. Joel B. Holloman,
member in the House of Representa-
tives from Iron county. He was edu-
Gated at Arcadia college in his county,
and is prosperous lumber manufact-
urer and farmer. Legislation which
tends to hold the railroad and express
corporations in check is fully endorsed
by him. The measures he has intro
duced so far are, one providing means
to prevent the spread of Texas fever
among native cattle and a bill to make
sections 4973 and 1914 of the revised
statutes relating to executions issued
to satisfy judgments more effective.
The present term he is member of
the committees on internal improve
ments, manufacturing and county
bonds. His vote in the committees
and on the floor of the house do not af-
ford much pleasures to corporation
lobbyists. Iron county is rich in agri-
cultural, lumber and mineral products,
and being personally and materially
interested in these industries, Mr.. HOl-
loman is the proper person to fully and
favorably represent them in the state
assembly. Very naturally he favors
liberal appropriations for the geologic
