Governor Dockery addressed a fair
sized audience at the courthouse last
Thursday afternoon. The Governor,
who is always a pleasing and effectiye
talker, was in an especially pleasing
vein on this occasion and highly en-
tertained his hearers for about an hour
and a half. He devoted himself chiefly
to state issues and made a comparison
of Missouri under Republican rule and
Democratic rule. Briefly he referred
to a few national questions and closed
with IN appeal to the Democratic voter
to be sure and get to the polls OF cleo
ton day. The speaker was given the
very closest attention throughout and
very frequently interrupted with ap-
plause. The Budweiser band made
music and the ladies furnished some
excellent singing.
Talking about "the Whitworths'
the REGISTER has this to say: None
of them has ever defrauded the people;
all who have served in office have done
so faithfully and capably; and they
have been in every instance preferred
to office by the suffrages Of Democrats
under ga free ballot and a fair
count" Whatever salaries or emolu-
ments they have received we're author
ICED by the laws of the State. Would
any Republican have served for lessP
Mr.. l. G. Whitworth, ST., did serve
for less than the salary the law gave
him. For four years he returned to
the county treasury 800 per annum
out of the $500 he was entitled to.
Did any Republican ofice-holder ever
do the likep His name isn't of record.
The REGISTER takes no notice of the
amounts said to have been received by
''the Whitworths;" that would be
housing after small things. Suffice il
that the irresponsible %scallawag who
was afraid to sign his name to his
ebullltions lied as a partisan does
when he is without responsibility and
integrity.
Mr.. Roscoe Parsons, Of Riverside,
came into the Valley last Saturday,
the conveyance being an automobile,
Of which he is owner and Chauffeur,
Miss Alma Fletcher, now teaching In
the public schools at Bonne Terre,
was his only passenger. They had 9
lovely "trip coming, but the way home
had its vicissitudes. Sunday afternoon
they started on the return trip and al,
went we'll until they came to the hill
this side Of Middlebrook. There some
thing deep in the bowels of the ma
chine broke, and 1T was'only after con
siderable search that the breakage
was located. It was a bolt so firmly
set in the attachment that the broker
piece could be removed only by drill
ling. After due consultation, the
passenger took the attachment, which
weighed only a couple Of pounds, ant
took the way back to Pilot Knob, leav'
ing the chauffeur In charge of the auto,
Arriving at Pilot Knob, the passenger
found that Mr.. Ameluug, the machin
ist whose services they required, wal
absent. Then she pursued her way tc
