Ed. Register:-We are having hot
and dry weather.
j. NJ. and George w. Morris went
to St. Louis to hear Bryan. They
claim there were 10000 people at
Sportsman Park to hear the greatest
orator in the United States.
The silver cause is growing every
day in this section. There will be a
Bryan club formed here next week;
over sixty names are now on the roll,
including some Republicans. Hon. w.
r. Edgar will organize the club.
This is a terrible struggle we are
engaged in-the rich against the poor,
capital against labor. / can picture
now the two great armies, the rich
trying to overpower the poor and put
the shackles on them and to enslave
them the balance of our days. And
every laboring man and farmer who
votes the gold-bug ticket will vote to
enslave himself and to keep himself
in bondage the balance of his days.
The Republicans claim they will get
there easy; but they remind me of a
very sick man-they are sending for
every doctor in the country.
f. w. Graves has a large order for
oak lumber.
The granite quarries at Piedmont
are shipping one hundred cars of block
to st. Louis.
The Holiday Lumber Company has
sold four hundred cars OF lumber to
the Grandin Lumber Company and is
81, fn
country over the Gulf Road.
Our public school is moving along
fine. l believe we have a good man.
Mrs. John w. Bowles, of Texas, is
visiting Spot Jordan, her brother.
j. NJ. Morris spent very pleasant
time while in Virginia. Said he never
saw a single white man in Virginia
who was not free silver man. They
are all for Bryan, including some of
the negroes.
l attended the Association (Baptist)
at Piedmont to-day; heard a fine SER
mon from DR.. Armstrong, of the Cen
tral Baptist; saw nearly all the Wayne
county officials there attending church.
Sorry 20 say never saw an Iron coun-
ty official in church in MY life. Boys,
that looks bad.
James Towles has a new mill in OPP
Grafton near Des Arc, and is running
it on a silver basis.
We have lost the best agent here we
ever had, Ed. Homer The railroad
| closed the telegraph office and put in
a cheaper man. Ed. had property
here and was we'll fixed. They have
also sent circulars asking the men to
join the Mckinley club and to help
down their fellow-laborers. 1t is do
ing more harm than good. for heard
some section men who are Republicans
say they would not sign it and would
vote to suit themselves.
Andy Lewis, Jr., got badly bitten by
| a rattlesnake. He drank one quart oi
whiskey and it came nearer killing
| him than the snake-bite.
John Crowley got badly hurt by a
horse falling down on him going from
Des Arc. Vote for Bryan. John, and
get another horse. and you viii never
get hurt again. He had an appoint
ment here last Friday night to debate
the money question with Joe Reed, but
! could not attend. It was we'll enough
he did not come, for Joe would Ger.
tainly have wiped up the ground with
him. ISAAC.

Obituary.

Died, at the home of her father near
Fredericktown, Mo. September 9, 1896,
Parilee, daughter of John and Louisa
Swofford, aged II years, 8 months
and 9 days. She was sick only short
time before the spirit took its fight to
a better world unknown to us.
Dearest sister, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God That hath bereft us
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed;
Then in heaven with JOY to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.

F. M. Anderson, who has been act
ing as agent for the Worlds Encyclo-
pedia, called at Burgundy school on
last Tuesday. His language so in
luenced the Professor as to compel
him to make a purchase. And now as
Mr.. L. reflects over the bargain he
made, it seems to affect him in a sim
pie manner we might term the .'blues, ~
but then we all have our ''ups and
downs"
Well, kind Mr.. Editor, hope this
will not be disregarded, and will be
published. So if it escapes the scrap
book or waste-basket, will come
