The REGISTER endorses and takes
pleasure in reproducing the following
from the De Soto Press: "A new law
partnership recently formed is that of
Byrns & Bean. The members of the
new firm are two of the leading law
yers of this part of Missouri. Sam
Byrns, the senior member of the firm
is an ex-congressman, a leading poll
tician and reckoned one of the most
able lawyers who has eve p~racticed
in Southeast Missouri. Mr.. Byrns has
been in poor health for some time, but
now feels that he is able to resume his
practice with all of the energy that
has always distinguished his work.
Edwin j. Bean is q lawyer of ability.
He has handled difficult cases in a
manner that commands general admi-
ration. Mr.. Bean is one of the leading
politicians of the county and has sew
eral times been mentioned for political
honors. Both gentlemen have a large
practice and the new firm is certain to
meet unbounded success Mr.. Byrns'
office will still be in De Soto while Mr..

boro. Mr.. Bean has served as prose
cutting attorney of jefferson county
and is being mentioned for congress-"
Last Friday evening. accepting an
oft-repeated invitation of Dur good
young friend, Mr.. j. Lopez, we took a
spin through the Valley in his elegant
rubber-tired buggy behind his two
forty goer. A fine shower of rain that
afternoon had refreshed tbs anguish
ing earth, allsyed the clouds of sitting
dust, and made the highways as smooth
and clean as a new-swept Chicago
boulevard. The sun yet fingered on
the western horizon; its rays were now
obscured. and now darting through the
ever-changing masses of cloud; the
furious winds had stilled into gentle
breezes and the reverberating thunder
and fierce lightning flashes had ceased.
Peace reigned, and the trees and flow
ers and grass and shrubs sang their
silent song of alteration and praise to
the lately weeping heavens: upon
whose sweet ear they thrive, as the
soul expands and the heart is ennobled
through the bitter drops of trial and
anguish. Down through the pleasant,
shaded mountain street into the fats
below, where the market-gardens grow,
and thence beyond the iron bridge we
sped, and the quiet, restful purlieus of
our neighboring town we're attained.
Arcadia has, for the writer, sweet and
bitter memories. In September, 1855
back torty-ive long years of the
time that flies on and on with never a
returning glance-he first trod the
main and then only street OF the hill
engirdled forest-hidden hamlet. Be-
ginning at the foot OF the hill a
christened six years later, the strag-
Cling thoroughfare led southwark to
the Seminary, whose wide-winged
frame building faced and Terminated
it. There now stands the massive
brick College, with all its modern ap-
plianess for light, heat, health and
comfort. tia old structure removed to
the real and hidden from to-dsy's ex-
acting gaze. But to those of us-alas,
how our ranks have thinned!-who
yet remain to recall the glories OF our
anoIsnt Alma Mater, what memories
does the supeF&nRuted building revive!
That Father in Israel, Rev. J: G. Ber-
ryman-who yet fingers in bis ninety

mentsi peEers, though bis limbs trem-
