Owing to the few contests there wa.
as little interest manifested in the pri
mary election last Saturday as in any
ever heretofore held in the county,
But Notwithstanding the fact a fail
vote was polled-three-four of the
democratic voters going to the polls.

The REGISTER learns with sorrow of
the serious illness of DR.. F. W. Lowry,

Time and again the REGISTER has
called attention to the fact that num-
Der of small boys in this town make a
habit of jumping off and on moving
trains as they pass the station. 1t is
only rare good fortune that an accident
hasn't occurred before BOW. Some Wig
orous means should be adopted to put
a stop to the practice before it is too
late.
OF all the thieves the timber thief
beats them all when it comes to nerve
and gall. He appropriates the prop
erty of another with nerve that is as
refreshing as a summer shower, and
apparently prides himself on the fact
that he is reaping what others have
sown! lis pity that some of the Of
tenders can't have justice duly melted
put to them. 1t would have a most
effect.
While in St. Louis Tuesday, Mayor
Edgar called on Superintendent Peck
10 see if that gentleman couldn't be in
1uced to have the sOuth-bound Mem
Dhis train at night stop at Ironton on
lag. As soon as the matter was placed
before the Superintendent he promptly
ssued an order to have the train stop
1t this station. So, in future, all who ,
lesire to take the south bound train at
night can board the train at this sta {
ion. ]

Columbus Cooley, a sable-hued in c
ividual, who has figured quite exclu-
lively in the Justices court the past /
ew months, was before Squire Fair a

q durance vile.
The summer millinery season will Y
DON close. and Lopez's wish to i'm
ress the fact on the minds of those
aides who have not yet bought sum-
ler hat or bonnet that now is the u
Ime to secure a bargain in summer a
eadwear. The stock embraces every
hing new and novel, and the assert 1
lent is complete in every line. The $
ady who is in need of millinery is GER P
ain to be pleased if she calls at Lo- v
ez's. And the prices-they are all
light.
