Matthews and one or two other parties,
parted Monday morning for the mouth
of Stout's Creek, on fishing expedi-
ton. We do not believe the fish are
in much danger, but we would advise
the farmers in that vicinity to keep a
close watch on their spring houses and
chicken coOps as long as these fellows
are prowling about.
It is said that the succession of w.
B. Doddridge as manager OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific System, will bring about
the opening of the Arcadia Hotel in the
near future. Geo. C.. Smith, the late
manager, who has had charge of the
matter, has always refused to take any
action as to the premises and always
refused a lease. Mr.. Doddridge had
only been appointed a couple of days.
however, when Mr.. Mangold, who has
for long time been trying to lease the
property, got a telegram stating the
lease would be signed if he would come
to st. Louis. Mr.. Mangold departed
last Saturday for st. Louis, but what has
been accomplished has not yet devel-
oped. Mr.. M. has the means and en-
ergy to make a great resort in Arcadia,
and we trust he will receive the en-
enlargement and assistance of all
good citizens.
The REGISTER has just been advised
that a certain young lady who some
times makes her home in the Valley,
had the misfortune on q recent Occa-
sion to lose her grip and purse while in
St. Louis. There seems to be some
difference of opinion as to whether the
loss was due to the young lady's care
lessness, or that some slick, irreverent
sneak-thief made way with the prop
erty. If the latter be the case the Of
fender must have been old and deprav-
ed, for his victim is young and fair, and
'twould take heart no longer suscept-
ible to s.beauty's witching sway" to
leave maid in so ''fOrlorn plight, }"
as that of being stranger in strange
land, with finery and money gone.
The correspondent who informs us of
the deplorable affair suggests that the
occurrence plainly shows the need of
young ladies always having guardians
when travelling.
We understand that last week this
city was visited by couple OF Iowa
capitalists for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether in their opinion this
town and surrounding county would
sustain bank, and, after quietly sur
veying the prospects, left well satisfied
that such an institution, if aided by our
citizens, would pay immense profits as
we'll as to add to the convenience and
appearance of the town. These gentle
men,i seems, visited most all the towns
in the State before coming here and
were sufficiently pleased with the 1oca-
ton and prospects here, that they left
word with one of our business men they
were willing to subscribe three-ifths OF
the money necessary toward this enter
prise, and furnish a competent man to
s,< -, OF
ers can see these things so plainly why
can't we see them? Won't some of our
monied and influential citizens come to
the front and accept this proposition
and assist in organizing bank? Don't
all speak at once.
Among the applications before the
school board last Wednesday, was one
from a colored individual from SPRING
field, who desired the position of teach
ing the colored public school here the
ensuing year. His letter reads as fol-
lows:
lion Board of Education HontOn Mo
DEAR SIRs-Where as / have COM
pleted the 'corriculum' of the Lincoln
High School 'col' of Springfield Mo.
And have had three terms experience
within the PRONUNCIATION of eruidition
1.-TWO in said school and one within
Humansville, 1 present an application
as an instructor within the colored
schools of your city. Should such meet
your approval, rest you assured that
will bend energy and strain every nerve
in order to make it a success and that
you may not be caused to regret the
appointment. l am most truly
.P. S. CAL furnish you with
recommendations if required"
One would NATURALLY suppose that
so eloquent and .'eruidite" plea as the
foregoing, would have secured the ap-
plicant the position he asked, but it
didn't, and d. w. Kenny, the old teach
er, was reelected. The letter writer,
though, sure seems to be an educated
niger"
We think s.Kicker from Kickers-
vile" trihe unreasonable in his strict
ures upon the course of the Prosecuting
Attorney in the Underwood case. We
doubt if ..Kicker's" course would have
been different if he had been the Pros
ecuting Attorney himself. Public
