School and Post-OMce.

Mr.. Editor-The correspondence
"from the seashore" reminds me that
the election of the principal teacher
of our school is not settled yet. Our
school directors seem to be of the
opinion that the school and the post
Office ought to support two different
persons. Our late school principal
and present postmaster has complied
with this view, because he gave en-
ployment to young competent man
as his assistant who earns his living
from the post-offlce. A change may
be necessary sometimes in certain af-
fairs, but. in my opinion, very unwise
in school affairs, unless the teacher
has proven incompetent. Before a
teacher can do his full duty he must
he acquainted with the individuality of
each of his pupils; nearly each one
requires different treatment, and that
cannot be learned in one day, nor in a
week, nor in a month. and therefore if
We had a good teacher, we ought to
hold him with all our might. There
successful school than ours, and all
the credit for this Is due to our late
principal, who has done his full duty
irrespective of the other engagement
as postmaster. and of whom we can be
certain, that he will do his duty in the
future. We ought to be very careful
to whom we trust the greatest treasure
we have, our children, and expert
ment with teachers, by changing, may
prove very disadvantageous for them,
and a word to the wise is sufficient.

kinds-that have not been harvested

ing to the severe drouth in June much
of the corn-especially on gravelly
soil-will not yield heavily. but with
few more timely rains, the corn crop
of this section will be at least equal to

Threshing has not yet been done
hereabouts, but is believed that, in
most cases the yield of wheat will be
unusually large. K. E.

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. j.

A Correction.

Ed. Register-You are somewhat
mistaken as to the length of the Afri-
can Boulevard. 1t does not extend
north to Hedger's. It runs from the
residence of Herman Davis on the
south to the last African residence On
the north. VIM. Rieke and Hedger
are not in it. 1t is commendable in
you to notice signs of improvement
the erratic actions of our
street commissioner. If fine streets in
the North Addition deplete our city
treasury, why not raise the saloon Ii
cense fo- Ironton? Ironton can boast of
the least rate of any town In the state
of the same size. Why not raise the
license from $50 to 800, at least?

August 5, 1894. MURPHY.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1894-08-09

Died-Walter P. AXE near Marian.
ma, Ark. July 81, 1894.
He was the remaining son of Mrs.
Mollie AXE. a young man who was in.
timately known in Ironton, having
spent the greater portion of his life
here.
The funeral services held here in the
Presbyterian church gave the strong
est evidence Of how highly esteemed
the young man was by the very serious
attendance Of SO large concourse OF
people. Young and old testify TO a
personal loss in the taking away of this
we'll loved frier.d. He seemed almost
like brother is heard from many of
his young companions.
When he was a child sickness
brought him very low, and his mother
had interceded God for his life, and in
his life he made a continual promise
to her that he would never make his
mother sorrow because she had asked
for his life; and it is to her one OF the
bright spots tn the dark cloud that he
kept his promise. He was baptised in
the Presbyterian church when in his
eighth year, acquiesciug in the rite
himself, and from his mother and also
a teacher of his Sunday school class
the strongest hope is Entertained of
this acceptance of God through our
gracious Lord.
Walter is gone-cut down in the
beginning of life. While there are
very sad things connected with his
taking off, yet there are two consoling
features. He leaves behind the aroma
OF an untainted life, and for himself he
has escaped many SORROWS and battles
through which he must haye passed
had he lived the ordinary length of
days.
AS Watts wrote. so we write of our
loved and gone
"Firm as the earth thy gospel stands,
My Lord, my hope. my trust!
If / am found in Jesus hands
My soul can meier be lost.
His honor is engaged to save
The meanest of his sheep;
All that His heavenly Father gave
His hands securely keep,
Nor death, nor hell shall e'er remove
His favorites from his breast;
In the dear bosom of his love
They must forever rest.''
Walter was born in Van Buren,, Car
ter County, Mo-, Feb. 5th, 1872.
When about six years OF age his fam
lily removed to Ironton and lived here
until March, 1898, when he found en-
ployment in st. Louis, but by the hard
times coming on, with many others he
was thrown out of employment and re-
turned to Ironton. to spend a few
weeks.
The Mariana Inder being purchas-
ed by his cousin. Frank AXE. he be-
gun with his cousin to help build q
paper, aud the Inder showed how we'll
the young men were doing. In the
midst of their prosperity the sudden
taking off of Walter has cast shadow
over all the hearts and homes. but the
friends, both at Mariana and Ironton,
desire to step in and help the dear
mother and the afflicted family to car
ry this sorrow. A FRIEND.

Wants the Clam-Ulgger.

Mr.. Editor-It is with pleasure, l
take the pen into my hand to let you
know how l am pleased of the pros
pect that principal of our school may
soon be elected. Because do believe
that by this time the best or good and
competent teacher has found employ
ment. But if one of our respectable
citizens has discovered competent
man in the far east, and recommends
him, because he is capable to even say
the alphabet backwards, our school
board ought to take hold of the op-
portunity, to elect the applicant as
soon as he sends his application, and
we can rest in peace that the school
will not stop for want of a teacher.

The editor of the Wynne Gazette keeps a weather eye on his business office, as the following testiies: Some of the candidates who are running for state offices are sending LIS punches of circulars to be distributed among our friends and acquaintances, so the peo- pie may know they are candidates Now. we like to set up all night for our friends, and especially for good Democrats, shoot roman candles and flaunt the bunting, but ten or d twenty" mailed along with these circu- lars, would inspire us to sit up early and late, for there are very few peopls in business for glory just at present writing, and besides, our home people pay us for their announcements. and if others want the use of our columns they must do the same.

A further charge WAS preferred against him Thursday morning of carry ing concealed weapons. Altogether Guidon's lines runneth not in pleas ait places.

How Is 1t With Forrest City.

This world is Omposed--commer- cially speaking-Of two classes; the man who advertlses and the man that don't. And the reporter as he starts out in the morning for his little budget of daily happenings, can classify each man as he approaches him. If he is the latter and the reporter isn't a born de- tective, and built with special long ing to get his nose into somebody elSe's business; pulling rats out of their dens; and possessed of all inquiring mind as bOundlesS and elastic as a lawyers conscience. he might as well pass on, for he will learn nothing there. If he doesn't meet with d positive rebuff. they will at least try to give the i'm pression that they have all they can do to mind their own business, which consists in sitting around the stove, waiting for people to come ir and ask them what they have for sale. Their minds become total blank. the moment they sight a newspaper man. Occurrences of an hour ago. bec0me ut- terly plotted from the tablet of their meluOry, and if by chance the reporter hears further down the street that some neighbor of theirs has died or met with misfortune, and returns to learn the particulars lle may succeed in drawing out q pretty lucid description of the affair, supplemented by the re- mark that II didn't know v0u'd want tllat,' or that they didn't think of that before," and you've spent am hour finding out something they could have told you in three minutes. As he walks out of the door with a sigh of re- lief, bumps up against something alive. It's the man who advertses. Tie man who is the personification of perpetual motion. Who wants to know every thing that's going OH, and means to or die trying. He stops long enough to give the reporter about five times as much news in as many minutes as he has gathered in the last hour, and leaves him with warm feeling around his heart that he doesn't get rid of all day, and if he doesn't say it, he men tally breathes God bless you" as he hurries on.
