AW. C. T. L. sociable was given at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. S. W.
Andrews 10 Arcadia on Thursday even
ing of last week. The writer, al
though denied the felicity of attending.
is assured that the occasion was most
pleasant and enjoyable one! As in
deed is every entertainment given at
that hospitable home!
Our friend AXE of the IRoNToN REG
IsTER must admit that prosperity has
| began in his little city since the cleo
! ton of Mckinley, as we have it from
good authority that there will be i've
weddings in Irouton during the holt
| days.-De 500 Facts.
Who told you so much? Give US
names. We don't ask for ages!
The many friends of the family iv-
ing here will learn with sorrow of the
death of Mr.. j. G. Noell, which &C.
Cured at Willow Springs, Mo-, on De-
| cember 4th, 1896. Mr.. NOEL was
Register of the Land Office at this
place from 1890 to 1894, and during
his residence here made many friends.
He was good man and upright cit
| zen. Peace to his ashes!
Thos. c.. Leech, formerly of Ironton,
| but for many years past living in Kan
sas City, will be an applicant for Police
| Commissioner under Gov Stephens
administration. Mr.. Leech is gifted
young man, and consistent and faith
| full Democrat. We trust the Governor
may see fit to honor him, feeling conf
| dent that he would prove competent
and efficient member of the Kansas
City police board.
The applicants for the post-office I'M
der the Mckinley administration are
| increasing in number. Up TO the pres
ent time the avowed candidates are I'M
derstood to be: w. b. Newman, j. n.
Bishop. Thos. Beard and Bert Lindsay.
1t is said that Editor Scruggs of the
| Republican is also thinking of trying
to secure the plum. Then others are
spoken of. 1t will very likely be an
| interesting scramble
The relatives of c. B. Hill are en-
deavorihg to secure his release from
| the penitentiary. A petition addressed
to the Governor, asking Hills pardon,
has been circulated in town the past
week and secured great many sigma
lures. Hill was convicted of man
slaughter at the last spring term of
The Circuit Court and sentenced to two
years f-s sthc5 p iiTe-tiary. With good
behavior his Sentence will expire in
less than ayear from this date.
1t iscertainly impossible to under
staSd the present management of the
lion Mountain railroad. Sometime
100 the stock pen located on the
lswitch at this station was torn down,
| apparently without any reason there
for, whatever. Now the stock shipped
from this section either has to be
driven to the station at Middlebrook
or Hogan, whichever is nearest, or
course this is quite an Inconvenience
to stock shippers in the immediate vi
cinity of Irontou. 1t is true that the
shipments of stock from this station
were probably not as large as at some
other points on the road, but they
were certainly sufficient to have justi.
fed the company in keeping a "pen'
here. The policy the company is pur-
suing in regard to the Irouton station
is causiSg the people no little incou-
venience and depriving the railroad oil
many dollars.
The REGISTER this week republishes
an artical from last Sundays P0St-DiS-
patch, relative to the Arcadia Valley
as health resort, and the experience
of St. Louis people who have summereG
here. As with one voice they ridicule
the assertion of the army surgeons de
clarlng the Valley unhealthy. The ar
ticle in question will be found interest
ing. One of the strongest advocate
of the Valley is Mrs. Robert, wife o
I Rev. p. &. Robert, of the church o
: the Holy Communion. Mrs. Rober
has spent several summers in the Val
5 ley, and is in position to know exact
ly whereof she speaks. There are
hundreds of people in st. Louis VIII
can testify along the same lime. II
fact the evidence is all in our favor
