Ed. Regtster-Whatever 2 g o p e
throughout this section may differ
about, they are certainly unanimous in
their opinion that this year winter
fingered in the lap of SPRING" It
seems to US that, although we have ex-
perienced many backward seasons,
never before were the leaves and buds
on the trees-both in the forest and in
the orchards-so slow in developing.
The soil in our fields has been so wet
that until after the 10th inst, but little
blowing was done hereabouts. Since
then everybody has been .'as busy as a
bee" preparing the soil for crops and
a few have sowed oats and planted
corn.
Peach trees are nearly all dead or
so badly injured as to destroy all
chances of their bearing this year.
Some persons think that our oak
trees are so badly injured as to pre-
vent their bearing acorns-

Joshua c. Carly died at his home in
Piedmont on Tuesday afternoon at 40
O'Clock, aged thirtXsthree years, ten
months and twenty-one days. Mr..
Carly had been very sick for some
weeks, and for several days it had
been known there was no hope for his
recovery. His wife. mother and
brother were at his bedside when the
end came. Josh Carly was native
of Iron county and spent the greater
portion of his life here. In 1889 he
graduated from the St. Louis law
school, since which time he has made
his home in Carter and Wayne coun-
ties. Mr.. Carly was a man of splen-
did attachments, and it is doubtful if
there was another man in the State of
his age who was more learned in the law
than he. By his death the bar of South
east Missouri Is unquestionably depriv-
ed of one of its brightest lights. Had
he lived it is certain he would have
occupied high niche in the temple of
fame. The future was bright before
him, but the Grim Reaper ordained
otherwise. The funeral occurs from
the Arcadia station to-day at u o'clock
and interment will take place in the
Masonic cemetery.
The closing exercises of the Ironton
public schools last Friday evening,
consisting of Essays, Declarations and
REGULATIONS by the pupils of the High
School Department, were given in the
Academy of Music to a very large au
dience. The programme was enlivened
with music, vocal and instrumental,
and altogether was far beyond the or
binary school entertainment in excel
lence and in enjoyment to the hearers.
There wasn't a dull minute in the two
hours devoted to the purpose. Prizes
were awarded for Essay. Defamation,
and Scholarship. Miss Mamie Brown
secured the medal for the first named,
while VIM. r. Edgar, Jr., captured the
other two. The competition was sharp
and close clear through, and no one of
the contestants need feel ashamed of
the efforts put forth. The essays were
well written and no doubt the judges
would have been pleased to make an
award to each of the seven. The same
may be said of the competitors in dec
lamation, while we understand the
scholarship was very close indeed. |
We congratulate the successful ones
and assure them the honors won were
well deserved. About $12 was cleared
for the library fund

While at Palmer last week I met,
among others, Judge Henry c. Comp
ton and the Blount brothers. Judge
Compton, member of the County
Court. is well qualified for the position
holds, having been, for number of
years, justice of the peace. I am
satisfied that he will perform the du-
ties of his Office justly and impartially,
and will, therefore, be one of the most
popular judges Washington county
has ever had.
The fact that the Blount brothers
have long held the positions they, re-
spectively, FILL and their being retain
ed in those positions when the Palmer
Lead Company recently sold their pos
sessions at Palmer to the Renault Lead
Co., is sufficient evidence that they
have faithfully and satisfactorily full
filed the varied duties assigned to
them by their employers. Mr.. L. F..
Blount, the elder of the two brothers.
| is superintendent of the Renault Lead
| Co.; and Hooker f. Blount has charge
of the Company.s store. Said Com

the Sabbath question. They then
turned the debate over to the Rev.
Haycock and the Rev. Crowley. They
ably defended their views of the Sab
bath day, and they did it in genteel,
Christian manner, without malice or
sarcasm. The people of Annapolis
were well pleased with them both.

referees now have the question under

The MaZet Committee

New York, August 9.-Almost all Of
the testimony ELECTED at the meeting
of the Mazet legislative investigating
committee today was for the purpose
Of showing how frequently men are
robbed in this city while paying visits
to the "~Tenderloin," the "Bowery'' and
other sections of the city where groups
gather after the midnight hour.
Mr.. Moss had difficulty in obtaining
witnesses for today's session. The men
who had been the victims of this sort
of crime, appeared decidedly averse to
appearing before the committee and
telling about it.
Two hundred and fifty subpoenas
had been issued for men who had been
robbed by women Not a quarter of
these men could be found. Neverthe-
less, Mr.. Moss was able to put witness
after witness upon the stand and secure
account after account of robberies al
legged to have occurred in disorderly
houses in this city. Occasionally the.
witnesses under oath TOLD of facts
which appeared to show collision be-
tween the police and the female rob-
bers. Mr.. Moss announced that similar
testimony, With variations, would be
produced before the committee tomor-
row. The variations, it is understood,
refer to an investigation Of the opium
dens of the city.

PnST FIG ROBBED
Cracked Tuesday Nighr-Seyenty.FIve
Dollars and Five Watches n by
the burglars

The postoffice at Ore Hill, Chatham
county, on the Yadkin branch of the
Southern Railway. was entered and
robbed by burglars between Tuesday
night and yesterday morning. The safe
was cracked and the thieves secured
SIS in postoffice funds, five watches and
other articles. a pocketbook containing
s21 in bills within an envelope, a check
and a postoffice order, belonging TO a
private individual. was also taken, but
the burglars either dropped the pock-
etkook or threw ii down, thinking there
was no money in the envelope.
Nothing was known of the robbery
tall yesterday morning, when the post
office was opened for business. Mr..
Charles G. Cheek is the postmaster and
one of the watches stolen was a double
face gold time piece belonging to him.
1t is valued at SIS and contains his
monogram, so that il can be easily
identified.
The burglars also broke open Whites
store and cracked the safe, but got
very little if any money.
1t is stated that two suspicious white
men were seen at Collision, a near
station, n also at Ore Hill, on Tues
day afternoon. 1t Is supposed that they
are professionals.
