tention OF the public to the fact that

fully solicited.
Mr.. Clarence n. Jones is arranging
20 build a very fine residence on his
place in Russellville next spring. A
very neat cottage for his nan has
just been completed at a cost of $1,000.
Mr.. Jones, it is understood, intends
making his place one OF the most at
tractlve in the Valley.
The writer is IN receipt of a letter
from a friend in the far west enclosing
a clipping from an Idaho paper, tell
ing of the nomination of F. P. AXE for
Treasurer in one of the counties in
that state. We are proud to state that
Mr.. F. P. AXE of Idaho is a nominee
on the Democratic ticket.
The ladies were fairly delighted with
the magnificent display of fall and
winter millinery at Miss Gillam's on
the occasion of the opening last Friday
The parlor was exquisitely decorated
and the hats and bonnets were fascl-
mating. Roses and carnations were
given as souvenirs to the visitors.

Mrs. E. S. Metcalfe returned to Iron
ton last week from St. Louis. where
she spent the summer. Although
several years past four-score, Mrs.
Metcalfe. we are glad, is still active
and vigorous-as much so as many
persons twenty years younger. May
she live to reach the century mark.
On the hrst page OF the REGISTER
will be found a letter from Gov. Steph-
ems replying to the declaration made
by Joe Flory in his speech here that
| the last Legislature had passed no laws
oil O6nelL 10 GLo SLaIO. AhO NOHSAh
or's letter is interesting and shows
that Joseph is, at least, very careless
in his statements.
We hear of an exhilarated Republican
making a talk to some negroes last
| Saturday wherein he stated: ''If | was
fifteen years younger I'd organize an
army and go and kill this man Bryan"
He is evidently a true disciple OF the
strenuous Teddy who once upon a time
wanted to line up the %silverite leaders
against a dead-wall.
The older residents, those who can
recall the days of Republican rule in
Iron County, do not relish a return to
the conditions that then existed. There
was neither a free ballot nor a fair
count. IT'S thirty years gone, but the
memory fingers. Iron County is re-
liably and safely Democratic. But,
boys. let's pile up the majority.
Indirectly the REGISTER has word
from Mr.. B. Shepherd, one of the old
time residents of I%ronton, now making
his home in California. Mr.. Shep-
herd, owing to his advanced age, Is
DOT 10 the best Of health, but, never
theless is taking great interest in the
present campaign, and ardently longs
for the success of Bryan and Democra-
cy.
