Mr.. c. P. Talbot returned to Iron.
ton Tuesday noon from a trip to Louis
vile, Kentucky. He made the jour,
ney the night before from Louisville
in the same sleeper with Hon. w. j.
Bryan, who was on his way to his old
home in Salem, Illinois. Mr.. Talbot
says the great Democratic leader was
affable and entertaining, and, of
course, was the recipient of every atten-
ton from the occupants of the car. 1t
so happened that Mr.. Bryan was an oc-
cupant of the same section in the
sleeper with Mr.. Talbott-the latter
| gentleman having the lower berth,
! but, of course, he insisted on exchang-
| ing, and gave the great apostle of sill
yer the comfort and convenience of
the clover floor" Mr.. Talbot says
he is stronger Bryan man than ever,
now!

The REGISTER extends congratula-
tions. George is a former Iron county
boy, and has friends here by the score
who wish him and his bride a long,
happy and prosperous life.
The services at St. Paul's Episcopal
Church Ironton, Mo-, on Easter Sun
day were both grand aud impressive.
The ladies who had charge had con-
tributed largely by the tasteful decora-
ton of the church with beautiful flow
ers and thanks are due for the inval-
liable services rendered by the volun-
tary choir. The Rev. Mr.. Coleman
who preached two fOrceful and well
conceived Easter Sermons, was partic-
ularly happy in the selection of his
topics and produced a very favorable
impression upon all who heard him,
and all unite in wishing that he may
be induced to pay another visit to our
Valley in the near future. The Sum
day school was we'll attended and great
interest was manifested by all who
took part. Mr.. Coleman took occasion |
to address few words to the Sunday
school children at the close of their ex-
ercises. In the afternoon. some of the |
ladies drove the reverend gentleman
to Granlteville and others entertained |
him at their homes. NJ.
The ''air-shipn which the city papers |
have been devoting so much space to |
of late, telling of its frequent appear
ance at different points in the State, is
receiving no little consideration in
this section. Up to the present time |!
we haven't heard of any one in this |
immediate section who claims to have |
seen this mysterious ''air-ship," but it |
is claimed to have been "sighted' at |
Bismarck. A telegram from that town
to last Fridays Post-Dispatch says:
From $40 until $3.50 o'clock last even
ing the airship was seen from this point. |
1t appeared, when first seen by Mr.. |
George Clarkson, to he about 1900 |
feet high in direct WESTERN direction,
travelling in northern direction. pas
sing below the horizon about Is de-
grees west of north. The lights were
large and beautiful, showing quite as
large as an engine headlight, with
about one-eighth of the luminous body |
showing red. Its course was oscillat-
ing, at times showing a rapid descent,
by quick rise. Many prom
inent people assembled on the streets
and viewed the great puzzle in wonder
ment."
Having occasion to call at the Hard
ware Store south of the courthouse
square, last Monday, we found it In
charge of our young friend, |. G.
Jr. This is one of the
changes made during our five months
absence from town, and we made note
of the stock for sale. 1t is all new,
everything in the hardware,
furniture and house furnishing lines,
to say nothing of plows. hoes, and
other farm implements. The line of
furniture is particularly large and fine,
including the everyday kitchen COM
plement. as we'll as the finest parlor,
sitting-room and bedroom suites. The
shelves are filled with the best Of cut
lery, glass and queensware-in fact,
we know of nothing in the housekeep-
ing way, except the housewife and
cook, that may not be secured in this
establishment. Mr.. w. is determined
to sell-that is what be is there for
and TO this end has made very narrow
margins between the Wholesale and re-
tail prices. His store is pretty full
now, but he will keep adding to the
stock until nothing is lacking to the
tastes of purchasers of every degree.
