The REGISTER congratulates, il
truth as we'll as with pleasure
the colored troops on their good
behavior during their sojourn il
the Valley this summer. With the
exception of Will Lee, who en-.
tered the home of MI. Young il
Arcadia, and is now in Jail with
good long term in the penitentiary
staring him in the face, their con.
duct has been good and they are
entitled to credit therefor.

marck Tuesday to attend the pre-
liminary hearing of Will Thur

No. 8 last Thursday brought a
special car of sixty-two people to
Ironton from De Soto. The party
was under charge of Rev. A.. Brit
tain and included the members OF
the vested choir of his church and
a number of the residents of De
Soto. In the afternoon the choir
gave a choral service at st. Paul's
church, which was greatly enjoyed.
The party returned to De Soto on
the evening train. During their
stay here they we're quartered at
the Shapleigh residence, but an
downpour of rain, lasting
throughout the afternoon, serious
ly interfered with the programme
for the day.
A petition is being circulated
asking the county committee to
submit the matter of selecting a
postmaster for De Soto to a pri-
mary election. A petition is be-
ing circulated by Chas. P. Hughes
and Fred Schmitz. Theodore
Walthers already has the backing
of the county committee, and be-
ing chairman of the congressional
committee of the Thirteenth dis
trict, is going to cut some ice.
Oscar Fauber, an East Side mer-
chant, has circulated a petition
upon which he has 400 or 500 sign
ers, and will present his claims to
the president in this manner. His
backing is good. Dan Veazey, an
old time Republican, will have the
support Of the Grand Army and
others in political circles. Any OF
these gentlemen would make good
postmasters and the people will
not suffer no matter who gets the
office.-De Soto Republican.
One of the finest gardens in this
section is that attached to Mr..
w. H. Thomson's "Valley Home"
Though merely "a family affair."
it is noted for it's production of all
the varieties of vegetables known
to this climate, and that, too, in
the highest perfection. I speak
from test and experience more
than once repeated. My latest
favor of this kind was bestowed
me by Mrs. Thomson yesterday in
a basket of tomatoes whose d.
mansions I fear to give, having a
keen constituencies as to the
credulity of the public. The
weight of each tomato must be
given in pounds rather than
ounces. With them was a cab
bage-the peculiar pride of John.
the gardener-pulling down the
scales to the 10-mark. l take
pleasure in acknowledging this
additional obligation to friends
who have been growing old with
me in the Valley for more thar
twenty summers.
All is now at peace again al
State hospital No. 4, it is reported,
The steward fight is about a thing
of the past so far as to who shall
or shall not occupy that position
for the remainder of Gov. Folks
term. Mr.. Hoeken has surrend-
cred the keys and books and is
preparing to remove to his former
home in Jefferson county. Mr.
Highley, the newly elected stew
ard, is now in full charge of the
hospitals commissary department
and everything is moving along
smoothly. 1t is reported, how.
ever, that the affair between Mr.
Hoeken and the board of man
ayers has not been finally ad.
justed, but may reach the courts
If it does, it will in no way inter.
fere with the work of the institu.
ton. 1t is said Mr.. Hoeken in
tends to contest the boards actor
in removing him. He is doing nc
talking and it is impossible to re-
