From BellevIeW.

Ed. Register your regular
correspondent at this point appears to
have given up writing to the REGISTER,
[ shall attempt to give you a few items.
Rev. j. H. Calvert, of Lesterville,
Mo-. filled his regular appointment at
the Second Baptist Church here, on
Saturday and Sunday last. After the
close of services Saturday afternoon,
the audience marched to the creek near
town, where Bro. G. administered to
eight converts the rites of baptism.
Following is a list of the names of those
who were baptised: Mabel Logan,
Daisy Decker, Lewie Edmonds, Walter
Black, Marshal Petit. Carol and Cur
tbs MCGEE and j. L. Van Mort.
Wheat, though in many places some
what damaged by the fly, will make
an excellent yield. Corn, though
small, is quite generally clean, and
during the last few days has been grow
ing rapidly. Early potatoes were
never better than they are at the pres
ent time, but in most places meadows
will not yield as much by fully one
half as they did last year.
The sad intelligence of the death of
Oliver Bell, of near Black, has just
reached US. Though young man of
somewhat less than twenty years old,
he had been afflicted for nearly two
years with that terrible disease, con-
sumption, which caused his death just
recently. Fourteen years ago he,
though little boy, was a pupil of the
writer's, and ever since then have re-
garded him as an exceptionally bright
boy, who would make his mark in the
world. But God, in whom he had
trusted for two years past, had willed
otherwise. Death, truly, loves shin
ing mark. And though his many
friends will greatly miss him, there is
not the least doubt but that his spirit
is to-day in Heaven where sickness and
pain will never again be known. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
j. II. Calvert, and the remains inferred
in the home cemetery.
The school board in Elm Grove Dist.
has recently had the school house re-
covered and otherwise repaired which
adds much to It's appearance and COM
fort.
U. S. Adams, of Ohio, recently Wis
tied his brother, DR.. j. L. A, in Belle
view.
r. j. Hill returned Friday last from
the State Convention at Kansas City.
w. D. Bay visited friends in the Val
ley a few days last week.
Mrs. Wallen has been visiting at
Cold Water for the past two weeks.
II. Latham visited j. T. Patterson
and family not long ago.
Judge Meyer was out in the West
End few days last week.
Our friend, II. l.. Bell, has been out
among his friends for the past two
weeks.
Miss Sallie Hawkins recently spent
a couple of days with Mrs. Patterson.
Miss H. is one of Iron County's very
successful teachers, and will open
school near Sabula in August.
w. r. Read, one of Uncle Sans CEN
sus enumerators, is busily engaged.
On the first prox, the mail route
from Belleview to Iron Mountrin will
be discontinued, and instead be carried
twice daily, excepting on Sundays, and
once on Sundays. from Belleview via
Graniteville to Middlebrook and return.
Consideration for carrying mail over
this route. and over the route daily to
Brule, and twice each week to Montana
and return. is 1915. This amount is
greatly in excess OF that formerly paid
for nearly the same service. am re-
liably informed that Frank Fitzpatrick
has the contract for said service. The
necessity of the above named change
of route is apparent to most all.
