Il
ty camped the past week on the vacanI
field in front of the Arcadia depot
They were well provided With wagons
and horses, and have adopted thi:
method of moving about from place tc
place, and hating when fancy dictates.
They left the Valley going north last
Tuesday.
While on her trip to California. Mrs.
T. H. Jones. of this place, was robbed
of a valuable diamond ring and dia.
mond pin. The robbery occurred on
the sleeper. The jewels were in a
ehamols bag, attached to a string,
around her neck. and this was evident
iy taken from her one day when she
was quite sick and when a number OF
strangers were ministering TO her
Dunklin Democrat.
The REGISTER this week prints from
Sundays Republic an article relative
to the rife range. The article in cues
ton is from the fluent pen OF Miss Ada
Patterson, the famous correspondent
of that paper Miss Patterson made a
visit to the Valley on Sunday of last
week when she secured the informa-
| ton and data for her story. She is a
| pleasing writer and evidently thinks
the Valley an ideal location for the
range.

The three troops encamped at the
rifle range left Tuesday for Chicago
where they will take part in the dedi-
cation services of the Logan monu
ment to-day. A special train of fifteen
cars carried the soldiers, the horses
and supplies from here to Chicago.
Eight palace stock cars were used by
the horses, three cars for baggage and
| four coaches for the men. They will
return to the Valley Saturday. About
twenty men were left at the range to

The authorities last week gave a
couple ''colored gentlemen of leisure"
hours to leave town. One of them
protested vigorously when the officers
back was turned. but finally concluded
it was best to depart, and before an
other day rolled around, both of the
leisureIy inclined individuals had tax
en- the road. Who they were or where
they came from no one seems to know.
But they were ''noisy and loud" and
wanted to run things" and it was
thought best by the marshal to gently
move them on. So they moved.
We were panied to learn of the
death of A. V. Hendrix. of Black, who
died this morning between l and 2
o'clock. Mr.. Hendrix was an aged
and highly respected citizen. He
leaves a wife. one daughter, and three
sons, all of whom are married except
| the youngest son, who has the typhoid
| fever, aud host of relatives and
friends to mourn over his death. He
will be buried tomorrow by the Ma
sonic order of which he was a member.
To the bereaved we extend our heart
felt sympathy.-CentreUille Retornaer.
Sam P. Reyburn died at his home in
Arcadia last Thursday after an extended
| illness. The remains were taken to
| Caledonia next day and inferred in the
Presbyterian cemetery at that place,
large cOncourse of people joining the
| cortege along the route to pay the last
| sad tribute to a departed friend and
citizen. The deceased, with one or
| two exceptions of short duration, spent
all the days of his life in Iron county
and won for himself a high place in
the estimation and esteem of all who
knew him. His friends are legion and
| long will they revere his memory. To

the REGISTER extends assurance of sim

According to the Banner the Green
| villains did the Piedmontese very
wrong in their recent play upon the
| diamond. 1t states the case thusly:
The Greenville Base Ball Club came
over Sunday to play our boys a game
| of ball. but left the field at the close of
| the seventh inning, claiming that sew
en- innings were all they started In to
play. They seem to forget that Pied
mont played the entire nine innings at
| Greenville and four of them in the
| rain. The truth of the matter is that
| they saw they were beat after Thomas
went in to pitch and they took this
| way of getting out of the game The
feature of the game was the batting of
| Ants and Thomas and the pitching of
Thomas, who struck out six men in the
three innings that he pitched. The
score stood to 9 in favor of Green
| Vile at the close of the seventh inning
