A new time-card went into effect last
Sunday, aud No. 60 no longer stops at
Ironton station for passengers, but does
stop at Arcadia. On the contrary, No.
Sc stops here but gives Arcadia the
go-by. A more unsatisfactory arrange
ment could scarcely be conceived.
Both trains ought to stop at both
places. if public convenience is to be
considered.
The announcement of VIM. F. Ed
monds as a candidate for County Judge
of the Western District appears in this
weeks REGISTER. Mr.. Edmonds is
well and favorably known to the voters
of the District and we believe that
should he be elected will prove COM
petent and faithful official. His can
didacy is entitled to careful considera-
ton of the voters.
We urgently suggest to the officers
composing the management of the
Missouri Pacific System that they i'm
mediately have taken Photographic
exterior and interior views of the Iron
ton station, so that in case of the
structures being stricken by lightning,
or being otherwise destroyed by fire or
flood, it's beauties NAV not be lost to
the coming generations.
There used to be a time when the
assem- bling of the grand jury would
cause considerable gossip and talk of
'scrap shooters" and others gamblers,

brush of certain elements. But that is
all of the past. If there are any such
violations of the law in the Valley
these days, the offenders completely
escape public attention.

a superb one. Miss Gillian cordially
invites the ladies to call and and as
sures them a veritable millinery feast.
NEGRO L." who has been living in
who had the distinction of being the
only negro living IN this county for
years, died very suddenly on the 18th
inst. She was known all over the
county to be kind and helpful to those
who were in sickness and distress, and
even if she was a defendant of Ham,
her death will be sadly lamented by
those who knew her best.-CentreuiU

Judge Green granted four divorces
