I 49, On rffudy, september 18TH,
1 1893, Oscar G. Cleere, aged about
thirty-five years. He was buried on
Sunday with Masonic rites. Mr..
Cleere was the husband of her who in
her maiden days was Victoria A. Pat
ton. She was born and reared In Iron
ton, whence she removed with her pa
rents to West Plains a number of
years ago. There she met and mar
ried the man whose loss she is now
called upon to mourn. All her old
friends here will learn with regret OF
her affection, and in their behalf we
| extend to her the ASSURE nce of their
| sympathy and coincidence.
Arthur Williams. a yotng colored
| rooster, lately working for Lopez &
Sons, concluded the other day to seek
his fortune in other clines. So h.
| went down to Poplar Bluff, and, zot
liking that locality. sought to continue
his travels. To avoid the payment of
fare. he jumped aboard Il moving
freight train as it was starting south.
But the train stopped and a city Of
fetal took hold of Arthur for violating
the ordinance in such cases provided.
Search showed that the prisoner car
ried loaded ..gun" III his hip pocket.
For this heavier offense he is now
serving months sentence in the cal
abOose. He will resume his travels
later on.
The finest specimen of peach grow
ing anywhere we have ever seen was
a Heath's Cling brought to this Office
and presented We editor by VIM. K.
Edgar, Esq, last Thursday. 1t meas
ured eight inches round, and was per-
feet in every way. The coloring was
beautiful, and the flavor enough to
tempt the palates of the gods. The
fruit specimen books contain some very
enticing pictures, but in none that we
have ever seen did the counterfeit pre-
sentiment excel the beauty of the real
article in this instance. Mr. f. S trees
are young, and of course the crop is
small this year. With the trees laden
with such fruit in view of the passer-
by, they would require guard of
half-a-dozeu shotguns.
Neighbor Blemel of the Blue Store
attended the q. A. Il. Reunion at
Louisville, KY, last week, returning
home Sunday. John says it was
grand gathering, and that Kentucky
hospitality makes everybody feel well
come. He ate burgoO and barbecued
meats, and drank of the finest-all
without money and without price-and
had d royal good time all around. He
returned bearing on his lapel the reg
ulation G.. A. X. badge. and the boys
have been specializing whether he
joined as Veteran" or ..Son- A
few-Begley, Simerman, and one or
two Others-are inclined to think that
maybe John took his badge from a
sleeping Comrade: but the REGISTER
entirely discredits this supposition.
He's not that kind of a man.
Geo. +. Search, for several years a
resident of the Valley, died at his
home last Friday morning, after long
and painful illness. He was stricken
with consumption about two years ago.
but was able to continue business as
commercial traveller until last fall.
when the disease had made such in
roads as to confine him to the house.
He grew constantly worse. and, as
above stated, at length succumbed to
the fell DESTROYER His remains were
taken to St. Louis to be cremated, ac-
cording to his last wishes. He leaves
a family of three children, with $4,000,
the proceeds of his life insurance, for
their maintenance. This amount. by
his will, which was probated imme-
diately upon his death, is divided
equally between the three, and Mr..
L1lbourn A. Lewis, of New Madrid. is
appointed guardian and executor.
We. the stewards of Fort Hill
church, earnestly urge that every
member be present next Sunday.
Matters come up for consideration
which require the presence of all the
members. and it is better to be present
at the first meeting and answer what
you are willing to pay. than to force
the stewards to have a second or third
meeting. We must attend to the
Lords business in more thorough
and systematic way, and so we want
to know in advance upon whom we
can depend for the support of the min
istry. 1t is neither right nor fair that
any congregation should want pastor
and at the same time be willing that
his support should fall upon a few.
The Discipline makes it the duty of
Stewards TO write ..letters to the mem-
bers to be more liberal, if need be, )"
and we think there is s'need."
