OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Rev. 7. A. Waterman states that he
is trying to arrange for a preaching
tour across the country, which, if sue.
cessful, may take him to California
and perhaps allow a visist to the
Hawaiian Islands. Admitting his love
for lrontou greater than any place 10
which he has ever lived, he desires to
contradict the impression that this
would lead him to a permanent resi-
dence here; this course not being BUSH
ness like, even if desired.
MIR. VIM. Wonderly. of Wichita,
Kansas, is visiting friends here.
Twenty-four years ago he was a promi-
nent citizen of Ironton, and was
esteemed by all. He then was blessed
with an interesting family; now he is
alore. all having passed to the other
shore. Mr.. W. will remain a few
days, and then will proceed TO Penn
%sylvania, his native State, to once
again be with those he knew in the
earlier days. The REGISTER wishes
peace and contentment to his remain
ing years.
The Iron County Teachers Training
School will be held 10 the Ironton
public school building, beginning May
5, 1902, and continue FOR a term of
six weeks. An excellent review term
will be offered to the teachers, and an
opportunity offered for earnest, am
bilious persons to prepare themselves
for better work in the school room,
aud u higher grade of certificate.
The school will be under the direction
of Profs. Ogier and Daugherty, both
excellent and competent instructors,
and all who attend may be certain of
being benefited.
Last Thursday afternoon q rather
serious accident befell Rev. A. w.
Humphreys. He was on his way to
Pilot Knob, in a buggy, in company
with Mr.. Hotson, and at the crossing
north of the Ironton station his horse
became frightened, started to run, and
overturned the vehicle. Mr.. Humph-
reys was thrown to the ground with
great violence. and for several hours
was unconscious from the shock.
Prompt medical attendance was given
him, and he was conveyed home, after
his wounds were dressed. Barring the
plasters on his face, he is himself
again, and no lasting injury has re-
suited. Mr.. Hotson Jared better, but
he too was shaken up in a way more
lively than agreeable.
The REGISTER publishers five new
announcements this week: w. H.
Buford for Presiding Judge of County
Court; W. G. Meyer, for Judge of the
Western District; Edward Sheriff. for
Judge of the Southern District; John
w. Polk for Sheriff, and j. W. Lewis
for Treasurer. They are all good men
and good Democrats. Judges Buford
and Meyer have had experience in the
positions to which they ask reelection,
and have served faithfully and well.
Mr.. Sheriff. is running for the first
time, but all who know him will vouch
for his ability and integrity. The
same may be said of Messrs. Polk and
Lewis, who are both young men we'll
and %favorably known to the voters.
The REGISTER commends them with
pleasure to the consideration of the
public.
Tho nnfnrt In ~ nnf OF 1.-Two ritnuil1l
on Wednesday evening of last week,
was a credit to the community which
gave it. The musical selections were
rendered with more than ordinary
taste and skill, and the songs Of the
children, with their drill in motion,
were peculiarly pleasing. The dia-
logues were new and the name OF
their speaking showed care and intelli-
gence in training. Two dramatic
sketches, "No Cure, No Pay" and "a
Public Benefactor," were laughable
and entertaining, the audience giving
evidence of appreciation by frequent
and hearty applaudings. After the
entertainment, a dance was inaugur-
ated, and until 4:30 A. NJ. the floor was
filled with the youth and beauty OF the
town and surroundings. Ironton and
Doe Run were both largely repre-
sented. A better behaved or more
genial crowed was never gathered to-
gether. The net proceeds-for the
benefit Of the parochial school-were
$115.
The Fredericktown Democrat eUs
tells the following: ''Last Thursd ay
night two men in a buggy drove UP tc
Mr.. A. HI. Chenowerth's house about
supper time and told him they had
been sen out by the agricultural de.
partment at Washington to distribute
corn and alfalfa seed free to the farm.
ers who would agree to make reports
on same to the government. They
stated that the only expense would be
about 40 cents express charges. That
the government had been In the habit
of sending seed by mail. but that il
had not proven satisfactory, SO they
had been sent out. They gave Mr.. G.
the names OF several of his neighbors
to whom they had been instructed tt
deliver seed. They obtained supper
lodging and breakfast for themselves
and their stock and when they drove
away the next morning they told Mr.
Chenowerth to be sure and call at the
express Office at Fredericktown inside
Of two days for bis seed. This Is the
last he has heard Of the men or the
seed. He says be thinks they were
two peddlers travelling over tht
country and had adopted this plan tt
secure free lodging and board"
The REGISTER understands that the
school board for this district will make
