One of the most enjoyable parties of
the season was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
James Austin, Arcadia, last Monday
night. Quite crowd of young peo-
pie were present and passed the time
very pleasantly with dancing, music,
conversation, etc. Delicious refresh
ments. consisting of cake, lemonade
and watermelon, were served at eleven
o'clock. Miss Hattie Austin assisted
her mother in receiving and entertain
ing her guests. She makes a delight
full hostess. The dancing was kept
up until quite a late hour and everyone
reports a good time.
While in conference with Superin-
tendent Peck at. st. Louis Tuesday
Mayor Edgar was assured that orders
would at once be given making Iron
ton flag station for No. 65, the south
bound Memphis train at night, giving
this station the same train service it
had previous to the present time-card.
With the putting of the wires back in
the station, which Superintendent Peck
also promised, this gives us all we
asked for except the stopping of the
fast mail trains. The officials say that
under the present schedule it is impos-
sible to stop these trains.
The Langdon farm, east OF town, is
to be sold at trustees sale next Satur-
day. The property was purchased last
spring by j. g. Hambrick of St. Louis
for So, 600. He paid 81 900 down and
gave notes, secured by deed of trust
for the balance. Tho first note fell
due last month, but Hambrick failed
to meet it and the property will be
sold to meet the debt. While in pos
session of the property Hambrick had
considerable work done thereon in the
way of painting, ditching and leveling.
The labOrers who did the work have
never been paid and it is very likely
they never will be, unless Hambrick has
property elsewhere from which the
debts can be collected.
The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
NJ. Collins was a scene of life and an
imation on Friday evening of last week.
The occasion was that of party given
in honor of Miss Mertie Stafford and
her brother, Mr.. Collins Stafford, of
Steelville, Missouri, who are guests of
the family of H. NJ Collins of this city.
The young people gathered at the ap-
pointed time, and JOY and mirth held
sway the entire evening. No trouble
or expense was spared to make it
pleasant for all. The many refresh
ments were served in the most APP
proved style, and, as all the young
people know, wherever any kind of
function is presided over by Mrs. Col
Inns it is a decided success. Pleasant
memories of the evening will remain
intellectually engraved upon the hearts
of all present.
The editor of the REGISTER is In re-
ceipt of a characteristic note from
Capt. w. H. Byers, written from At
lantic City. NJ. Among other things,
he says: IL hope you are having as
good a time as | am. What with fish
ing, grabbing, sea-bathing and the
widows, | pass the time very nicely,
although this is mosquito year here.
shall take trip over 10 New York
tomorrow in the way of business. and
while there take in Coney Island. "
He says the attendance of rich people
at this resort is very great, land still
there are thousands of human beings
roaming over the land, looking for
bread for themselves aud families.
This whole Eastern country is still cry
ing, Gold! Goldn-that is, the class
who visit summer resorts. They use
gold for themselves and copper pen
mics for the laborer. They won't touch
silver only with gloves" The Capt.
will probably be home again the latter
part OF this week, though we have nc
certain date upon which to base this
meditation
