r. E. Hinchey will be here in a few
days for the purpose of trying to inter
est the people of the Valley to join
hands with the railroad company in
the publication of a pamphlet showing
points of interest along the Iron Noun

and if properly carried out would un-
questionably be of benefit to the COM
munity.

will be held in the Presbyterian church.
The Rev. Geo. Steel will preach the
sermon. The other pastors will assist

The REGISTER is proud of the effort
the people of Valley made to secure
the location of the asylum here. Had
desire to best serve the State and
fairness been the ruling motives that
diofofna ha location Iun1l6 houo
won. There is no question but that
we were before the Commissioners with
by far the best proposition of any of
the competing towns. We won the
fight and victory should have been
ours.
DIED-At the family residence near
Ironton, Mo-, Tuesday morning, No
vember 81, 1899, at 1880 o'clock, Mrs.
Mary Elizabeth johnson, beloved wife
of Thos. johnson, aged Sc years, nine
months and two days. The deceased
had been in very poor health for sew
eral months, and for some tine past
there had been no hopes for recovery.
The funeral occurred from the Presby-
terian church Wednesday afternoon
and the remains were inferred in the
Masonic cemetery. To the bereaved
family the REGISTER tenders assurance
of profound sympathy.
j. A Anderson, who has been car
rying the mail from here to the west
end of the county for several weeks
threw up the job last Friday and for
couple of days there was no mail car
ried to the west end. Anderson's son
originally had the contract with his
father as bondsman and when the boy
gave up the job Anderson, pere, car
ried the mail until last Friday. An
derson took the contract at S5 cents
per day and the work is well worth
three times that much. On instruc-
tions from the Department Postmaster
Bishop has engaged man by the name
of Crocker from Belleview to Temporal
rily carry the mail, until the contrac-
tors can make other arrangements.
The Young Peoples Societies of the
different denominational churches of
the Valley united in holding a Union
Rally at the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday evening. The
church was fairly we'll filled and the
speakers acquitted themselves well.
Able and interesting addresses were
delivered by Messrs. Marshall, Steel
and Lowe, and a number of young peo-
pie delivered recitations and readings.
The music and singing was an excep-
tional treat to all music lovers. Spec
ial mention must be made of the solos
of Mrs. H. II. Buford and Miss Julia
and to the two concerted
pieces rendered by the choir. Every
body Joined in the wish after the meet
ing was over, that there might be
more general movement towards the
holding of these union meetings.
The insane asylum commissioners
met in St. Louis last Saturday and To-
Gated the asylum at Pennington. Sew
eral hours before the decision was an
nounced we were assured by other
contestants that the site question had
been fixed" and that Pennington
would win, no matter how advantag-
eous propositions were submitted by
other towns. The State pays for the
site at Farmlngton 50, 400 more than
for the site offered by Arcadia Valley,
and the site here is worth just as
lars and cents, than the Pennington
site, while our place possesses many,
many advantages that the Pennington
location has not nor ever will have.
If we had been beaten on our merits
we would have said, ''good and well,"
but we were not so beaten. We had
