OsteOpathy.
Very Respectfully,
LOUIS MILLER.

Mrs. A. l.. Elliott has been a resi-
dent of Ironton for more than thirty
years and is we'll known to many of
the REGISTER readers. Following, in
response to a request Of the REGISTER
local reporter, is what Mrs. Elliott has
to say of Osteopathy and the good it
has done for her: 'For over twenty
years | was a sufferer from goitre Zen
largement of the thyroid gland.) |
tried physician after physician and
could get no relief. Sometimes |
would improve temporarily but invari-
ably the next attack would be more
serious than any that had preceded.
| tried many remedies that were
recommended, but one of them did
me any good. My condition was
serious and | was growing worse every
day. Nothing that tried afforded me
any benefit. A very sever attack of
grip in 1899 left me in most miserable
health, indeed. 1t seemed | could get
no relief anywhere and in sheer des-
~peratiou | called on DR.. W. j. Smith,
Osteopath, of Ironton. Il had all the
prejudice that most people who know
absolutely nothing about os~teopathy
usually have.) From the day | com
menced DR.. Smiths treatment | began
to improve greatly. My throat trouble
is practically gone and it never bothers
me any more. Words cannot tell how
grateful | am to be free from suffering
after all these years of affection. A
few months ago l had an attack Of
pneumonia and DR.. Smith most skill

certainly would have been in my grave
before now. Icannot too emphatically
attest my faith in osteopathy. My ex'
perience has proven to me that it will
work wonders"

1.-The Parting Time, Dear Teacher, is

poetry in this; when | used to visit
my home in Virginia, all went on nice
until | went to say goodbye, and that
spoiled my whole trip. 1.-The Boy in

Gilbert Wallis, were acted well and
quite amusing; a dialogue by seven
little girls 1.-The Days of the Week."
and the Song Of the Clock" by 10
little girls standing in a diamond row,
was the best of all; Taking the Cen
sus," by Walter Lashley and Elma
| Keathley, was the funniest and most
laughable, and it brought down the
house. Rev. John Crowley was pres
ent and made US a nice little talk. In
| part he said that he was glad to see
such bright and intelligent faces, and
to see that they were improving SO
| fast in their studies. He said the
school house was a work shop; that
every girl and boy had tobegin there
to climb the golden ladder, and hat
some day they would govern the coun-
try. Our teachers, Mr.. Hartman and
Miss Mary Steel, have certainly done
their part, and | only hope that we
may be able to employ them again.
May success follow them in whatever
they may follow. ISAAC.

SOUTHWEST COLONIZATION.
Aid Requested and Inducements Offered
by the Iron Mountain Route.

1t is the object OF the management
of the Iron Mountain Route to encour-
age and aid in every way possible, the
development of the agricultural, min
eral and industrial OF the
great Southwest. To accomplish this
purpose, the assistance and co-opera-
ton of every farmer, miner, merchant
and professional man in that section
is earnestly requested.
An increase in production in your
section means a corresponding increase
in wealth and a larger distribution OF
capital in the community. 1t means
increased prosperity for all. The only
way to obtain this increased produc-
ton is TO invite h~omeseekers and
home-makers to come and settle in
your section. Once lay before them
in a clear and intelligent manner the
many advantages of the South western
States and they will come. Show them
United States Government statistics
relative to the production of crops and
minerals in that section, also statistics
relative to the unparalleled climatic
conditions which prevail year In and
| year out, thus insuring uniform crops,
and they will be eager to accept your
| invitations.
Let every one interested send in the
names and addresses of prospective
| settlers and the Iron Mountain Route
will attend to them. Descriptive an(
illustrated literature will be sem then
of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana anc
Texas, and very low rates of'transpor
tation offered to them to come and SCI
for themselves.
We are bending every effort to col
onize the Southwest with a desirabl,
class of settlers. 1t is to your interes
to cooperate with us.
For further information, call o.
nearest agent of the company, or ad

gotten as cheaply as in Iron county,
The most of the rock road in Iron
county could be made without buying
a stone crusher, as we have plenty of
cobble-stones from four to six inches.
which could be used for this purpose.
| suppose it will be better in some
parts Of the county to have a crusher,
as there are plenty OF limestone out
groupings, easy Of access, which could
be utilized in road making at very
small cost. Say, for instance, we take
one mile OF road near Ironton. the
grading would cost about as follows:
Grading mile road..--.-S 90 90
4I2 yds cobble-stone gutter, at
soc per 2o6 90
II73H yds broken stone for road
beds, 7sc per yd~-. $50 I2K
$50 yds gravel or top dressing
at Goo yd~. 35I 60
Work in spreading and rolling
gravel-~..~.. eS 50
Engineer and snpt. services. 100 90
Total for mile rock road.~...$I7I6 22K
This estimate is for a road II feet
wide with a 2-foot gutter on each side
thickness of stone for gutter l foot
roadbed 9 inches after being rolled.
These figures will apply wherever
boulders and gravel can be had as
cheaply as in Ironton; but in Belle
view valley it would hardly cover the
cost as stone would have to be crushed
and hauled a mile or SO; but | do not
think the figures would be much amiss
even there.
Now. | think it would be q good
idea If the County Court could see
their way clear to let out to lowest and
best bidder one mile rock road each
year, starting from our county seat,
using the most travelled road in the
county, running from county seat to
county seat, each county doing its own
respective road. l would also like to
mako a suggestion for our lawmakers
at Jefferson City: If in place of mon
keying with free text books and max
ing large appropriations to our univer-
stiles and normal schools, they appro-
PIRATE one million dollars, pro rata,
the next ten years, in lettering the
conditions of our county roads, they
would do a lasting good and great
benefit to our State.
Very Respectfully,
LOUIS MILLER.
