Southern District OF Iron county.
Judge Lewis has served the past two
years as county judge and gave gen.
eral satisfaction. He promises. IL

The tragedy at the depot last week
should be q warning to all boys to
stay away from the railroad tracks.
For along time a number of small boys
in this town have made a practice Of
jumping on and off moving trains.
Time aud again the REGISTER called
attention to the matter and predicted
that unless the practice was stopped
some one would be hurt. Alas, the
prediction proved too true.
The editor of the REGISTER was most
a~greeably surprised last Saturday to
receive a box of lemons and a hox of
oranges from his old friend, Frank
Scoville, of South Riverside, Califor-
mia. The fruit is, indeed, most excel
lent, and we assure our friend Of the
palmy days of old that it ID being most
thoroughly enjoyed. when our ship
comes in" we expect to have an orange
grove Of u own, and we'll remember
our friend as he has 30 kindly re-
membered us. Here's a health to you,
Frank, to you and yours, MAY you all
live long and prospect"
w. T. O'Neal this week announces
as a candidate tor Clerk of the County
Court Of Iron county. Mr.. O'Neal
needs no words of commentator from
the REGISTER. All his life has been
spent in Iron county, and his record,
both as a citizen and official, are all
that his friends could ask. The office
that he seeks is a most important one,
and if he should be successful in his
saying that his administration thereof
would be %eminently satisfactory to
every citizen of the county. W. t.
would unquestionably make a model
County Clerk.

The millinery opening at Mrs. Lulu
Gillian Woodside's parlors last week
attracted a large number of visitors
in fact, nearly every lady in the Valley
was there, and they were all more
than delighted with what they saw
There were bonnets and hats of every
description, and everything new and
up-to- date in the millinery line. The
visitors were all loud in their praises,
and declared the display as artistic
and beautiful as was ever witnessed in
the Valley. The souvenirs were cut
flowers, and there is nothing more
pleasing on any occasion than flowers.
The opening was a complete success
SO declared by all, and Mrs. Woodside
was universally complimented and
congratulated.
We had the pleasure, Monday, o.
meeting Mr.. Geo. j. Cole, the irwin
chile mining man, who was just re-
turning from an extended visit to the
west. He showed US a rich specimen
of quartz from his gold MIN at Dothsn,
Oregon. Mr.. Cole says that his nine
is producing ore that will u $4,000
to the ton. He says that he has 9
largo amount of machinery now or
the ground and that the mine will soor
be in active operation. Mr.. Cole has
taken quite q number of men from this
county to his Oregon prospect. HI
confidently predicts great things, and |
he ia as successful in gold mining as hi
has been in the lead fields of Southeas'
Missouri, his mine will soon be one o
the best in that great gold producing
region. At any rate, Geo. j. Cole ii
made of the stuff that makes men sue
c%essful. His untiring and unsel6sf
efforts to develop this section have no
been forgotten by our people, and thu
sentiment is universal that he may
make millions In his western venture
