miles this side of the power house.
The road will be completed into
Flat River before Christmas.-Flat
River Neps.
The Globe Democrat refers to the
editor of the REGISTER as a sad
eyed Missourian. The CD.
wouldn't know a sad-eyed man if
it met him. But we do know of a
young man in this town who is
sure sad-eyed just at the present
writing. And he's had enough
hard knocks the past week to
make him sad-eyed, too. For sad
eyes the REGISTER man isn't in it
with this fellow.
M. E. Rhodes, the Republican
nominee for Congress in this dis
trict, lis reported in last Saturdays
Globe Democrat as saying that the
Democrats in Iron county ''are re-
belling against their ticket from
President down." Mr.. Rhodes
never spent as much as three days
in Iron county in his life, and
knows as much about conditions
here as a porker knows of affairs
in the Philippines. If he got any
such information on his recent
visit here, al above quoted, he got
it from sore-heads and boilers
not many of them at that. Iron
county, as usual, will do the right
thing in November.
A telegram was received here
Friday morning announcing the
death of Martin L. Claybaugh, at
the home of his brother in Hope
well, Pa. The deceased had not
been in good health for many
years and the announcement of
his death was not unexpected. Mr..
Claybaugh was for many, many
years a resident of Ironton, and
was well and %favorably known.
About three months ago he went
to Pennsylvania to visit his brother.
Shortly after his arrival there he
suffered a severe attack of rheu-
matism, from which he never
rallied. The remains were brought
here for interment and the funeral
occurred from the Baptist church
Sunday afternoon. Peace to his
ashes! James C~laybaugh, brother
of the deceased, and Vance Clay
baugh, a nephew, accompanied
the remains here.
Last Sunday afternoon, at the
residence of her grandparents, the
very young Miss since known as
Dorothy Camille Reese was chris
tened according to the rite of the
Lutheran church, Rev. Schluesel-
man officiating. Miss Dorothy, as
well as her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Reese, had been for some
time visiting the "old folks'-Mr.
and Mrs. Aug. Rieke-and advant-
age was taken to have the cere-
mony performed at the place which
had also witnessed the christening
OF the mother, who, with her hus-
band, is now residing at New
Orleans. Miss Dorothy's first
public appearance was witnessed
by a goodly number of friends of
the family, and an elegant supper
of which she did not partake, by
the way-supplemented the official
proceedings. Long life to her,
and may she ever prove a blessing
to those who now hold her as the
apple Of their eyes!
If I were asked to name the
crime of crimes, the blacklist sin of
them all, I should not consider one
moment as to my answer. Some
thing may be said in mitigation of
the pirate, the highwayman and
the murderer-at least they have a
theory for their action-but what
can you say of the man who has
prospered, aided by others, and
then forgets the shoulders on which
he climbed? Down in the corner
of the homocide's heart there exists
here and there a tiny drop of the
red blood of life that might flower
into compassion, but no tempered
steel, driven by giant hammers,
could dent the heart of him who
takes and gives not. God made
him, as He did all else, for a wise
purpose; He made the r~attlesnake,
the python and the vampire. Then
in His wisdom He saw the world
needed something of even greater
malignity. So He created the in
grate.-BloomaeId Courier.
The United States department of
agriculture estimates that the
Woody Aphis or the sswooly louise
of the apple" will cost the apple
growers of the United States ten
million dollars this year and at least
three hundred thousand dollars of
this loss will fall upon the apple
growers of Missouri. 1t is high
time then that Missouri orchard
growers were awakening to the
known representatives. of it's ravages.
The University of Missouri has
clearly demonstrated that injury
by it to the limbs of trees may be
prevented by spraying them with
a strong solution Of kerosene emul-
sion and to the roots of the trees
by a liberal use of tobacco dust,
both when the tree is planted and
every spring before settled wealth
er comes. For the root application
the earth should be removed from
around the trunk for a distance of
two feet and to a depth Of four in
ches and the space thus made filed
with tobacco dust covered with
earth.
