Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1893-10-26

| 'Box Car Charley" more generally
known as Bishops timer, received his
monthly allowance from home Monday
morning and forthwith took his de.
parture from Ironton. Whittier he has
gone is not exactly known, but it is
thought that Pennington was his desti-
nation. He came here about six
months ago and divided his time doing
odd jobs at timing and drinking
whiskey. BY far the major portion of
his hours, however, were devoted to
the latter. He is undoubtedly of good
family. and has had the advantage of
good education; he received regular al
lowances from his home, varying from
$15 to $35 month, and the arrival of
this check was always followed by an
''elongated jag" Had he taken the
proper care of himself he would un-
doubtedly have been valuable man to
society. but the appetite for drink a
long time ago overcame all ambition,
and he has been for years a total
wreck. His home is in Tennessee
whence he departed over thirteen years
ago on the tramp that has not yet end
ed; in that time he has seen a great
deal of the country, but he has never
turned his steps toward home, and I'M
less he reforms he probably never will;
for, as wholly lacking in stability as he
is and degraded in his habits, he still
has some pride of home and family. and
in his sober moments feelingly alludes
to his better days of yore!
