There was '.hot time" at a dance
given not many nights ago in one of
the houses in Brown row, Pilot Knob.
Some soldier boys from the range who
were there wanted to make a trough
house." but soon learned they had
stirred up hornets nest, and retreat
ed in dismay. This was one occasion
where the ''boys in blue were utterly
routed by the enemy.
The REGISTER suggests to the elec-
tion officers that they hold the coming

school house, instead of on the second
floor, as has been the practice hereto
fore. The voting place ought to be
made as easy of access as possible, and
we know of several citizens well along
in years to whom the climb of that
staircase is anything but pleasant.

The proceedings of the County Court
as published two weeks since show
that Roadoverseer Dixon is indebted to
the county $27. While this statement
is correct the item as published is liza
BILE to mislead. Mr.. Dixon, it was
found, bad failed to collect poll tax TO |
the amount OF $54. Mr.. Dixon paid |
$27 and agreed to pay the remaining |
$27 next court. We make this cor
rectioD at the suggestion of one of the |

Mrs. Martin, wife of Azariah Mar |
tin, died very suddenly at her home a |
couple of miles east of Ironton Tues |
day evening about five o'clock. Mrs. |
Martin had not been feeling well all |
day. but was not confined to her bed. |
She made an effort to get up on chair |
when she fell backward to the floor. |
A little girl staying at the house ran
for Mr.. Martin who was a few steps |
away in the woodshed. but by the time |
he reached the house Mrs. Martin was |
dead. Heart disease is supposed to |
have been the cause of death, a. the |
deceased had long been a sufferer |
therefrom. Mrs. Martin has lived in |
this community many, many years. |
and her death was learned with gener- |
al sorrow. To the bereaved husband |
we extend our sympathy. The funeral |
occurs from Fort Hill Church to-day |
at two O'Clock. Interment in the Ma |
sonic cemetery.
