Louis Miller has received the con-

school house at Bonnie Terre, and put
a force of men to work on the FONDA
ton Monday. The structure will be
one of the handsOmest in the southeast

The REGISTER acknowledges a very
pleasant call one day recently from
Mr.. L. T. Walsh of Grauiteville accom-
panied by his brother-in-law, Gen. Nc
Donald of st. Louis. A quarter of a
century ago Gen. Mcdonald was one
of the most prominent Republicans in
the State, and had considerable say in
Missouri affairs, generally. Although
getting along in years he is well pre-
served and a most agreeable and enter
tanning gentleman in every respect.
May the future continue to deal kindly
with him!

terrain church Monday evening for the
purpose of assisting the Methodist's
Orphan Home at St. Louis, Mo, at
tracted a large audience. Short adj
dresses were made by the local pastors,
and a literary and musical programme
contributed to the interest of the oc-
casiOn. The address of Miss Minnie
l.. Gay explaining the purposes and
intention of the home, together with
an outline of the work so far accom-
plished, was quite interesting to all in
attendance.
Tourists, picnic and fishing parties,
and the public generally, will secure
the best of service at very reasonable
rates by patronizing Collins, the Iron
ION livery man. Mr.. G.. desires to call
he attention of all those needing any
hing in the livery line that he now
las more and better horses and rigs
han he has ever had, and be is sure
ne can give service that will please
and satisfy all corners. Just a trial, is
Ill that he asks to guarantee you of
he accuracy of the claims herein made.
Remember Collins.

The diamond drill which has been
1t work in the neighborhood of Des
Arc for the past few months, has been |
moved back to Annapolis. and will re-
ume operations on the Buckner farm |
where drilling was done several |
months ago. The fact that the drill is |
'eturned to this place is taken as an |
Indication that the former drilling de-
-eloped favorable prospects. There is |
