Eight Thousand apple barrels have
been made in Salem this season, and it
Is estimated that they will all be used
In shipping the apple crop of this
county. With the exception of the
heads the barrels were made entirely
OF native timber, and the material aud
labor cost something like $4,000. TAX
ing $1-25 as the average price per bar
rel for the fruit-and most of the fruit
sold has sold at much better figure
1t amounts to $4,000, exclusive of the
culs, $4,000 is a very neat sum to
have distributed in the county from a
40 per cent. apple crop.-Sdlem Head

Mr.. Chas. w. Kemmett died at his
residence in this city at an early hour
last Saturday morning after a brief
illness. Mr.. Kemmett had been suf-
fering from typhoid fever for several
OdNS, Uub lis COuUIllOu was uOG
to be serious, and Friday he declared
he was feeling much better and hoped
to be out again in few days. Shortly
after midnight, however, he became
suddenly worse, and Drs. Marshall and
Gay were summoned. He seemed to
rally, though, and became easy again.
1t was not long, though, before he
suffered another attack and the end
came. The physicians say the i'm
mediate cause of death was hemorrhage
of the bowels. Mr.. Kemmett had been
resident of Ironton since the location
of the Clark hub factory, almost three
years ago, and with Mr.. Clark has mad
charge of that institution. He had
many friends here who were indeed
panied and shocked to learn Saturday
morning of his unexpected demise.
The remains were taken to Wisconsin,
Mr.. Kemmett's former home, Sunday
morning. To the bereaved widow and
her father, Mr.. Clark, the REGISTER
tenders assurance of sympathy in their
hour of suffering and sorrow.
