Ed. Observation-Disclosures the
fact that a few of our weather-prophets
have predicted no more rain of any
consequence for two years, F" the ground
is at this time thoroughly soaked with
rain, more rain than has fallen here
since August, 1900. How little the
feeble mind of man knows!
Not in years has health been so good
as it is at the present time; the fact is,
to use the language of a physician, sit
is distressingly healthy"
Perhaps none of the REGISTERS read
ers have enjoyed reading E. D. AS
letters more than 1. As a writer ED.
A. has but few, if any, equals in South
east Missouri. That's the verdict of
many people throughout the Southeast.
In view of this fact, it is not strange
hat the REGISTER is generally con
sidered to be n of the best, if not the
best, county papers in Missouri, and
many of it's correspondents, myself in
cluded, no doubt feel their weakness
after having read E. D. AS communi-
cations.
Rev. j. Fl. Calvert has. / am in
formed, put in a small stock of dry
goods on East Fork, and will try his
hand at the Mercantile business for a
few years. We wish you success, Bro.

Not long ago Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
Hawkins visited US.
The Second BAPTIST Church has re-
Gently purchased a g bell, which
can be very distinctly heard at a dis
lance OF three OF four miles. The Sec
ond Babtist now have their house COM
plete, fairly we'll furnished, and are
now out of debt; the fact is, it is slngu-
larry phenomenal how that church has
prospered snice it began its existence,
three years ago. This fact alone is of
sufficient moment to convince the most
skeptical person that they (the Second
Babtlst as a body)are surely on the
right track. But don't understand me
to ~itsinuate that all the other churches
are on the wrong track; far from that.
That which has far it's object the
lettering the status of society. lighting
it to a higher plane of intellectual or
moral greatness, and bringing man to
have a nearly perfect conception
of God and his goodness to mankind,
is, as l view the matter, always on the
right track.
The Methodist Church house has re-
Gently been reprinted, which very ma
~terially helps its appearance.
DR.. Adams has recently had his Office
repainted, which adds much to its ap-
pearance. This, with the many other
Improvements, adds very much to the
general appearance OF Bellevlew prop
er.

an visited US.

Recently the writer visited Judge

the wish of the writer.
