From Ues Arc.

The entertainment, or cantata. thai
was advertised to come of on Christ.
mas night was grand success. A
goo1ly number gathered at the Baptist
church to enjoy the festivities of oc'
casion and listen to the delightful ex.
ercises given by the children. Much
credit fs given to Mr.. and Mrs. Graves,
Miss Minnie Collins, Miss Mollie Per-
kins, and Mrs. Mamie Morris. The
exercises were opened by music and an
address by Miss Alice Fitz. Mr.. E.
w. Graves called out the different per-
formers, all of whom acquitted them
selves well and rendered their parts in
a most excellent manner, to the great
delight OF the audience. Many oil
them merit high praise and showed
good training. The music was q
marked and delightful feature of the
occasion, and We would mention our
special qualification with the singing
of the children; those sweet voices
charmed all who we're present. The
solo by Annie Morris, 6 years, "Come
Back, My Santa, to Me-" was delight
full and brought down the house. The
solo to her doll by Blanche Fitz. 9
years. was grand, and brought forth
great applause. The dialogue by Miss
Sarah Brewington and Miss Minnie
Lovelace was the best of all. The re-
ceipts were $50, and fully up to the
expectations. 1t will be used to paint
the church inside.
W. T. O'Neal, sheriff elect, and fami-
ly. moved to Ironton to-day.
Miss Lizzie Lucy died last week
near Arcadia. She was brought down
on the train and buried at her fathers
home. near Brunot.

never tarried in a more desirable plac
than the little city from which / write
1t is neither too busy nor too dull, bu
just the place to satisfy an ordinar
mind. 1t is a noted summer resort TO
city people throughout the q. S. Score
of st. Louis people flock to Arcadia il
warm weather.
Arcadia has the means to accommo
date boarders. Mr.. Mangold is dali.
improving the Cottage Hotel, Mrs
lO'Brien has leased the enormous build
ing called the Arcadia House and Mrs
Weathers has very desirable board
ing house.
Then Arcadia has two large dr.,
goods and grocery stores, and the new
firm Baird & Rockwell are doing &
thriving business, as we'll as John
Whitworth, progressive man.
Two blacksmith shops, a builders
store, and first-class livery stable are
great conferences. Another thing
about Arcadia, especially noticed, is
the pride people take in improving
their property. With these boastful
thoughts upon our mind We take pleas.

Mr.. Hatten, wife, daughter and Miss
Kate Tierney visited relatives in Pied

Mrs. E. G. Baird went down to Pied

We visited the concert in Ironton
Christmas evening and was very much
pleased to see what accomplished mu-
sic students Arcadia could produce.
The children seemed very much
pleased at the surprise expressed by
Miss Baird. when she received their
present. The comic pieces in which
Jas. Martin, Hattie Polk, Kate Tier
ney, Leah O'Brien, ETC., took an active
part were very pleasing and were re-
ceived with applause. The instru-
mental music was also very good,
AS nothing else of Importance occurs

Clones News.

Ed. Register-Happy New Years t.
you and yours!
Christmas passed off out here will
the usual characteristic quiet which
prevails in nearly all localities in the
backwoods. There were Christmas
trees both at Camp Ground and Les
terville, but owing to the inclemency
of the weather but few persons from
this point attended. On the afternoon
of Christmas I made trip to Edge
Hill, and found large crowd of young
men at the store of Eaton Bros They
were all orderly, not drunk man to
be seen; the fact is, we now have one
of the quietest neighborhoods to be
found in the county. Let ones ideas
on the subject of religion be what they
may, he is pleased to state facts oil
that nature.
Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Latham took
Christmas dinner with us. Mr.. and
Mrs. L., though nearly seventy years
old, are as jovial and sprightly as
many couples who have reached only
the thirty-fifth mile stone in LIES mys-
terious journey.
Since my last communication to the
ReGIsTER l made a trip to Ironton.
After dispatching some little business
with your genial, accommodating Off
Gals. finding that the time of day was
nearly six o'clock P. M, | made my
way to the store of T. S Lopez & Sons,
where, after a few purchases were
made, stopped over night with Messrs.
Gross and Jake Lopez. Better treat
mcnt cannot be had in Ironton than
you will receive at the hands OF those
two young men. They are as accom-
modating in all other respects as in
business. awoke and rose early the
next morning, and after partaking of
a good breakfast, made my way to the
Office of DR.. Prince, where l had some
dental work performed. l do not want
to give DR.. Prince free ''ad.," Mr..
Editor, at your expense, but l feel it
but justice to DR.. P. to state, that as a
first-class dentist, he has but few, if
any, superiors in Southeast Missouri.
Sympathetic. painstaking, Christian
like courtesy characterizes his profess
sional services. A thorough knowl-
edge of the anatomy of the jaws. etc.,
is very essential to successful dental
work. But some few people appear to
patronlze the travelling so-called den
lists, who quite frequently know less
of anatomy than a Hottentot does of
metaphysics.
Mrs. HI. Latham has been pretty sick
for the past month, but it is to be hoped
that she may SOON be herself again.
In my last stated that j. H. Strick-
land was gradually getting better"
l had been wrongly informed in regard
to the case; he is no better.
Master Arthur Eaton, Foote, has
been confined to his room for several
days. but at this writing he is conval-
escing.
1t is said that Mr.. T. H. Cureton,
the teacher in this district, will close
his sch DOL within the next few days.
Mr.. c. has made US a fairly good teach
er, and we can couscientiously recon-
mend him as such to those needing the
services of a good teacher.

The following communication from
A. V. Hamilton was read:
1RoNToN, Mo-. Dec. 29th, 1894.
To tile Honorable Board of Education,
Lronkon, NO..
GENTLEMEN-I deeply regret your action
of Yesterday in refusing to accept my resig-
| nation. l never knew "Board" to refuse
| such thing before. 1t is the custom every
where to gladly and cheerfully grant a re-
lease, since to hold or try to hold a man
would be but stubbornly to try to keep man
from doing better. 1t is not often that a
place seeks man nor is it often that an OPP
Portunity is given man to double his salary
as IN my case. l am sure your refusal can
be from no desire, of personal nature, to
see me remain here. No man is so valuable
to any town or any school, but his place is
easily filled. In my statement of reasons,
yesterday, for deserving to 60, did not by
any means, enumerate all of them. Think
ing your "Board" would do as "Boards"
always do-cheerfully let me off. The peo-
pie, of Ironton, Mo elected me-your
''Board," then reduced salary $5 month,
without any conference with me. l began
term-My self respect has never been con-
sidered-when your "Board" has had it in
your power to undo the soyong put up on me
in cutting the salary pitiful IS month, yet
you have not done so. In the middle of the
term, you close the school for more than half
month, and it is my information that you are
to be petioned to close your schools for a
month. Fair treatment demands fair treat
ment. l don't think you as "Board" have
shown, in all respects, do regards for my
rights.
AS stated to you, yesterday, the prospects
for the future are such as would induce any
man to remain and take chances on the pos
sibility of being elected for another year. l
regret deeply the matter of leaving you un-
7oiAingly on your part, but my duty to my
self and those dependent up on me-say to
me-Go.
leave records, programs, report cards,
letter of explanation, and etc on my desk
ANY man of sense can take up work without
loss of time.
Wishing your "Board" success in choos-
ing an efficient successor and personally sue
cess. l am Yours resp't'y
A. V. HAMILTON.
Mr.. Hamilton refusing to serve long,
er as principal, the Board proceeded
to consider applications for that posi-
ton.
Quite a number of applications were
read to fill the unexpired term of four
months. A ballot was taken, which

He Opens Up Headquarters at the L.
Hotel

SPRINGFIELD. his, Jan. 3.-Sena1
Cullom has opened headquarters on e
Office floor of the Leland hotel. Stat
Senator Littler and j. Otis Humphrey,
who are acting in his behalf, held pro.
longed conference with him, and the sena.
torial fight will now be vigorously pressed
until after the Republican caucus shall be
held. Many OF the senator's friends
called during the day, and it is needless to
say that they were graciOusly received.
Upon being asked if he expected to win,
the senator replied:
Certainly. have no reason to doubt
that my services in the senate in the main
have been satisfactory TO the people of the
state. During the campaign of last sum-
mcr and fall l met thousands Of Repub-
licans all over Illinois and many members
of the legislature, and, outside one news
paper in Chicago discovered no opposi-
ton am not saying, mind you, that
there is no opposition to my return, but I
do not believe it will be strong enough to
jcOpartlize my nomination in the caucus
know that l have done all in my power
to serve the people, and my record is an
open book for the inspection of friend or
foe. guess if there is anything in it to
my disadvantage my enemies would have
discovered it ere this.
Senator Cullom denies with emphasis
that he is taking any part in the speaker
ship contest. Upon being interrogated
upon this point he said: q will say this
much-and said it the other day to a
candidate for speaker III Chicago, al
though he does not live in Chicago-I
told him if discovered tho fight was be-
ing put upon me l would take what
measures l could TO protect myself, and
under such circumstances would take an
active intcres. in the speakership fight.
But LIDO not apprencnd anything will Oc-
cur TO mar the harmony Of either the first
caucus or the senatorial caucus"
1t is thought the candidates Tor speaker
of the house will quite generally reach
the city and that the tight will rage fast
and furious from that time on. Meyer of
Cook still seems to b. in the lead.
