About ten days ago a scandinavian
was sworn out against certain part,
: residing in the West End, looking
) to the recovery of a large belt stolei
from the wooden mill during the win
ter. Constable Marshall made thir
tymile trip only to find an empty
house with its occupants gone two
days before to Shannon county. The
belt is still non inUentuS.
Mrs. James NJ. Logan of BeIlevieW
last Monday called on the REGISTER
office and left branch of an orange
tree bearing two half-grOwn oranges
and perhaps dozen blossoms. The
storm Sunday morning blew over an
other and larger tree of the same
species and it fell upon that from which
this branch was broken. As both
trees were in tubs, no serious damage
resulted.
Little Richard, seven-year-old son OF
j. L. Baldwin, was seriously injured
Tuesday evening. He was playing on
the pile of logs outside the hub factory,
when large log on top rolled down
upon him, breaking his arm at the
wrist and bruising his head, but not
fracturing the skull. 1t was almost
miraculous that he was not killed, for
the heavy log had to be lifted from his
body before he could be removed. Dr.
Marshall set the arm and dressed the
scalp wounds without delay, and the
little patient is recovering.
The Ladies Guild of St. Paul's church
have decided to postpone the enter
tainment which was to have been given
in the Academy of Music on the 9TH.
They will instead hold on that evening
lawn social in the grounds adjoining
the church, when strawberries and
other refreshments will be served.
Music will also be provided by quar-
tette of wind and stringed instruments
and others, and this promises to be
very attractive under the trees which
will be lighted up for the occasion by
Chinese and other lanterns.
A severe wind, rain and hail visited
this section last Sunday morning about
five o'clock. Here in town there was
no hail, but the water came down in
spouts, while the wind threatened to
assume the proportions of a tornado.
Its force evidently was broken by the
mountains and no serious damage re-
suited, although in several instances
trees were blown down and fences
scattered. Down on Marble Creek and
Big Creek, as well as north and east
of the Valley, hail fell in profusion,
doing considerable damage to growing
crops. But it might have been much
worse, and, in view of the devastation
in other States, the people of this hill
sheltered habitation have cause for
cOngratulation.

attended by about one hundred and |
fifty Democratic voters. The only |
''division" called for during the meet |
ing was in the election of delegates to
the Judicial Convention, when the |
count developed that the assembly |
stood about ten to one for j. C.. Carly |
for Judge. After the business of the !
meeting had been disposed Of address
es were made by Messrs. Carly. Ever
sole and bearing, candidates for Cir
cult Judge. All of the speakers &C
Quilted themselves in creditable
manner. and received close attention
and frequent applause. A most pleas |
ing feature of the speeches was the
evidence they furnished of total alb
sence of personal feeling among the
contestant in the race for Judge; each
of them paid highest tribute of praise
to his opponents. The meeting was
In every way most satisfactory one,
