Dear Edit0T-Since my last there
have many things escaped me, as I have
been on the sick list for more than two
| weeks.
| James Mcdaniel, who has been very
sick with pneumonia for the last three
weeks, was out on the street to-day.
| We are glad to see him improving and
hope he will soon be restored to health
again. Mac" as we call him, is
good citizen, good neighbor and a
friend to every one that attends to
their own affairs.
Mr.. HALEY, the foreman of the fenc-
ing gang, while working north of this
place last Thursday evening, captured
a would be train wrecker while putting
distractions on the railroad track. /
understand his excuse was that he
could not get TO ride on the trains and
he had no money and was suffering
from hunger. Mr.. HALEY Kept him
until he heard from the railroad officials
who sent down their private officer
who took charge of him and left on the
train for Ironton. We have not heard
what disposition was made of the case.
Gus. Funk left yesterday for Illinois
where he contemplates making a large
trade; trading some property here for
farm in Illinois. We hope he will
do we'll in all his enterprises.
Prof. Sizemore made flying trip to

Annapolis seems to be laboring un-
der the effects of la grippe.
AS to preaching it is almost thing
of the past. l hear of debate that is

him success in health and business.

Hunt farm in front of the Annapolis

be nice place. No more at present.
UNCLE JOHN.
Editor Register Seem as how s'Un-
Gle John" has been blocked out by the
high water and bein' as he is on that
account unable to give the readers of
your excellent paper the news from
our little city l have shouldered the
burden so recently laid down by Mr..
"Crux" and so soon neglected by
Uncle John"
But, dear me, how shall l begin?
Now | want to tell all about the tramp
who, on account Of being refused food
at Annapolis, started out to put all
kinds of distractions on the railroad
and was arrested by MIR. Hally and
how the railroad detective came down
and got the tramp.
But, la me, Mr.. Editor, you just
ought to come down and attend one of
our blow-outs at the hall. We just
have a perfectly lovely time.
The Knights are just doing splendid
work having at present about fifty
members.
Mr.. Gus Funk has gone to Illinois
on business.
Mr.. Jesse McGlothlin is running Mr..
Benson's saw mill and business is
pushing along much better than for
merly.
Mr.. Add. Reese has quit the railroad
and taken charge of the engine at
Benson's mill. Mr.. Reese is a hustler
and under his hand much better work
is being done.
Mr.. Andy Tucker is running the
Funk saw mill.
James Harris is moving to Des Arc
where he aims to farm.
Mr.. Kitchell has got back and is do
ing business at the old stand. 1t just
done my old heart good to learn of his
return to his afflicted family.
DIR. Clarkson is sporting a new stiff
hat. 1t adds very much to the doc
tors appearance.
wish they would fix the porch iu
front of the post-ofice. 1t rocks so
when one steps on it that old folks
like me receive a nervous shock every
time we go there. AUNT POLLY.
