ton Ratley was discharged.
Arthur Huff announces this week as
candidate for Circuit Clerk Arthur
needs no Introduction to the voters OF
Iron county. Although young man
he is recog nized as one of the most
competent Circuit Clerks in the State,
and should he be again elected to the
Office he seeks there is no doubt but
that he will continue to discharge his
duties, with the same care and atten-
ton he has in the past. He is we'll
worthy the trust he seeks.
The REGISTER this week publishes
the announcement of Bert S. Gregory
as a candidate for Sheriff of Iron coun-
ty, subject of course, to the Democratic
primary election. Mr.. Gregory is d
young man of sterling qualities, has
had four years experience as deputy
sheriff, and there is no doubt but that
he would ably discharge the duties of
the Office he seeks, should be be nom
mated and elected. We commend him
to the voters of the county.
VIM. L. O'Neal this week announces
his candidacy for Collector of Iron
county. Billy O'Neal needs no words
of commentator from any source. He
is well known to the people of the
county and it can truly be said OF him
that in the four years he has held the
Sheriff's Office he has proven himself as
faithful and competent an official as
Iron county ever had. That he will
prove equally faithful and efficient in
the Collectors office there is no ques-
ton.
DIR. G. w. Farrar, Jr. announces
himself candidate for reelection to
the position of Representative. Dir.
Farrar has served the people in that
for two years, and has given
satisfaction to his constituents. He
has been careful and conservative,
watchful and decided in all that per-
tains to his position. He will probab-
~ have no competitor for the nOmina-
ton, and the county will be ably and
honestly represented in the sessions at
the State Capital for two years to come.

Mrs. H. NJ. Collins and Mrs. Esty
took drive around Shepherd Noun
tain Wednesday morning, and it was
only the rarest kind of good luck that
saved them from having to walk home.
The road is very rough this season,
and a wheel of the buggy got fast
ened in a rut. The horse gave jerk,
broke the tugs, walked out of the
shafts, and went running away, leav-
ing the ladies in the buggy. The road
at that point is not much used but by
good fortune a traveller happened along
at that time and let the ladies use his
horse to come back to town. The 9TH
er horse was afterwards captured few
miles west on the Black river road.
The fellow who suffers from iudiges-
ton is cranky, cantankerous, unreas-
enable, Respondent, and often disputa-
tions to the ultimate degree of bellig-
erency. He is a misery to himself
and a nuisance to his neighbor. He
worries his wife, spanks his children,
ana is a terror to his mother-in-law.
He is the embodiment of disgruntle
ment, and his view of this life con-
gloomy and peculiar, with no
hope for enjoyment in the life to come.
But there is hope for him! Let him
go to Rieke & Backof's, buy a bottle
Of Malt-NutriHe, and drink it in due
1t will make him a new
man. His home life will resolve itself
into happiness, he will become an or
nament to society, go to church regu-
larly, and the dove of hope will coo
sweetly in his ear. And all this for
% cents a bottle.
