The Handkerchief Bazaar given
by the Baptist Ladies' Aid Society
May 18th was a complete success
financially and otherwise. The
ladies desire to thank those who
added pleasure to the occasion by
their sweet strains of music, and
also to the public for their liberal
patronage. The net receipts ex-
ceeded 500.
The REGISTER greatly regrets to
hear of the death of Mr.. Fred.
Basse at his home in Milwaukee,
Wis, on the 9th inst. He died
after an illness of nine days. The
family resided in this town three
years, and Mr.. Basse was well and
favorably known. To the be-
reaved widow and fatherless chill
dren the REGISTER extends its
sincere sympathy.
We learn that DR.. j. L. Eaton,
of Irondale, local surgeon there for
the st. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Ry., has been promoted
to division surgeon, with head
quarters at Bismarck. This pro-
motion is a just and deserved one,
and the hospital department has
acted wisely in securing for this
important position so worthy and
competent a physician and surg

The new house of worship re-
Gently erected by the Baptist
Church at Cedar Grove, near Mum
ger, will be dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies on Sunday, May
20, 1904. The sermon will be
preached by Rev. George Steel, of
Ironton. Basket dinner on the
grounds. The ordinance of bap-
tism will be administered by the
pastor, Rev. j. H. Calvert. Visit
tors will receive a cordial welcome.
The pastor and members of the
Baptist Church and Sunday school
have formed a Temple Builders
Band, pledged to contribute some
amount each week toward the
building of their new house of
worship, such gifts to be continued
until the building is completed and
paid for. The amount realized
each week is now nearly two dol
lars. The contributions range
from one cent to ten cents. They
hope to increase this amount quite
largely in the near future.
"When the gold fever was raging
in 1885," Champ Clark relates ga
young couple from Pike county
made a long journey in a wagon
overland to California, where they
prospered and waxed rich. The
wife always wanted to return to
the scenes of her childhood, but
she had heard so much of the hor-
rors of seasickness that she post
poned the trip until the railroad
was built, by which time by a turn
of the wheel they were reduced to
poverty and she vas never able tc
60 back home. Finally she became
sick. A doctor was summoned,
pronounced her malady incurable
and notified her gently as he coulc
to set her house in order for hel
days we're numbered. The preach.

Sister, is there anything else
