added much to the appearance of their
farm, by building a very large barn.
Next we find Mr.. Schrum occupying q
very commodious house. The house

Recently while Mr.. Pauley was cut
ting clover with mower. a somewhat
serious accident occurred. As he was
turning at the corner, one of his step
sons, Mullins, boy five or six years
old, attempted to step over the sickle
while it was in motion, and in so doing
had his foot almost cut off. Both the
tibia and fbula were cut in two. there
being only the skin and heel strings
holding the foot to the leg, just above
the ankle where it was cut. DIR.
Minor. Lesterville, was Immediately
called, and after a close examination,
he concluded that the foot could be
saved. Eight stitches were taken. and
when last heard from the little fellow
was getting along quite well. Mr..
Pauley is a fine young man, and, of
course, no one can blame him, for it
was purely an accident.
Quite number of candi lates have
been through this section, the last be-

The Institute is again filling on
streets with the youth and beauty o
the county. Southeast Missouri Cal
show more good-looking girls to thu
square mile than any other equal ex
tent of territory in the United States
and Iron is behind none of her sistel
counties in this particular product
The happy faces we meet, morning
and evening, indicate that our teacher:
are having a pleasant as we'll as 8
profitable time. Should the Institute
be discontinued for a year, their pres
ence would be missed-at least, by ye
editor. The Institute. in bringing our
teachers together and affording oppor-
tunities for mutual acquaintance, is q
good thing in social way-to say
nothing of its more serious purposes.
The readers of the REGISTER will
have noticed that the late firm of Rock.
we'll & Benson, Annapolis, has been
dissolved, Mr.. Rockwell retiring.
Their business-that of dealers in Gen
eral Merchandise. Lumber, Plling, etc.
will go on without break, under the
/ direction of the new firm of John S.
Benson & Bro. Mr.. Carl l.. Benson be-
| ing the Junior member. 1t is scarcely
necessary for the REGISTER to use words
| of commentator for this firm; the men
are too we'll and favoraoly known to
| need it. Yet we take pleasure in add
ing our testimony to the fact that they
are prompt, reliable, and in every way
worthy the confidence and patronage
of all. We hope to chrOnicle con-
tinued success for them for years to
come.
A few weeks ago Z. S. land Office
was burned in Minnesota and the rec
ords destroyed. Now the Interior De-
partment officials in an extra pruden-
tial spasm, so to say. have ordered
that in all cases where land offices are
located close to wooden buildings, they
must be removed to some remote spot,
where neither fire nor chance for fire
may modest or make afraid. Also. that
all records must be kept on the ground
floor. Plats of the squares on which
land Offices are located, in all the
States and Territories, were required to
be made and sent to the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, showing
contiguity of buildings, their structure,
etc. In consequence, the land officers
in Ironton have received orders to re-
move without delay to '.safer quar-
ters." At present the offices are in the
Academy of Music, brick structure,
with low wooden buildings adjacen on
the north and south. Nothing ap-
proaches it nearer than eighty feet on
the east or west. 1t is, humanity
speaking, safe building, and the rec
ords are kept on the ground floor.
When the big fire occurred here last
December, we understand ample ar
engagements were made while the con-
fiagration was raging only one block
away, to remove all the records to
place of safety. Happily it was not
necessary to remove them, and to-day,
in the absence of that closely built
block of wooden buildings, the danger
from fire by reason of locality is reduc-
ed tenfold. 1t seems to US that it is
the extreme of prudence to order the
removal of the offices at this time.
From a business point of view, their
present location is altogether desirable
and it is hoped the order recently is
sued NAV be recalled
