Robert G.. Farmer, of Thornton,
Arkansas, was in Ironton a few
days the past week. Bob is now
in charge of a big store for one OF
the large lumber firms, and his
friends here will be glad to know
that he is prospecting. Previous to
his arrival here he spent a week in
st. Louis buying goods. Mr..
Farmer left here the first of the
week with his wife and boy, who
have been in Ironton for some
weeks, for their home in Arkansas.
The suit of Jos. F. Lindsay
against DR.. S. A. Bates for dam
ages to the amount of $4,000 for
malicious prosecution, was tried
this week in the circuit court at
Greenville. Each side was repre-
sented by able counsel and the
case was stubbornly fought. A
great number of witnesses were
subpenaed and much interest at
tached to the outcome. The jury
was given the case Wednesday
morning. The jury failed to find
an issue for the plaintiff.-Pied-

D. E. King, industrial agent for
the Iron Mountain railroad, has
arranged with the Missouri fish
commissioner to supply all those
in Iron county who wish to stock
streams with fish. All those who
desire fish Tor this purpose must
see the agent of the Iron Mountain
in this city, who will forward your
requisition for the same. These
fish will be furnished free of charge,
all that is required is for parties to
make out requisition for same,
leave it with the railroad agent in
this city and then meet the fish
commissioners car when it arrives
here. The date of the arrival of
the car will be given later. Our
people should take advantage of
this offer and see the agent at once.
Mr.. Connolly, who came here
from Illinois about a year ago and
bought the Haywood place, south
of town, sent for DR.. Hetrick, the
veterinarian, one day last week to
come and examine a sick mare.
DR.. Hetrick made an investigation
and diagnosed the disease as a
genuine case OF CHAMBERS. The
animal, which was a valuable one,
was put to death, and the farm has
been quarantined, and it is thought
there is no likelihood of the dis
ease being communicated else
where. AS it cannot be surmised
where the animal had been ex-
posed to the disease recently, it is
thought that she probably con-
tracted the same before leaving
Illinois. Not infrequently it takes
as long as a year or more for the
disease to fully define itself.
Morris Bros, Farmington's en-
terprising mercantile establish
ment, has leased the big Putnam
building next door to their store
for a term of fifteen years. They
expect to cut one or more arch
ways between their present store
room and the Putnam rooms,
which will be thrown into one as
soon as vacated by Mr.. Putnam
and the Times. This will give Nor
ris Bros. almost double their pres
emit storeroom capacity. They ex-
pect to have this new addition in
shape and full of fine new goods
for the fall trade. Morris Bros.
have had phenomenal growth in
their five. years. business life in
Pennington and the additional
store room was imperative to meet
the growing demands of their bust
ness.-Fdrmington NeWs.
Arthur HUFF is arranging to go to
Poplar Bluff, where he will engage
in the abstract and real estate
business. Mr.. Huff was born and
reared in this. county. For eight
years he held the position of cir
cult clerk and recorder and the
past seven years has had charge of
the extensive interests of the Big
Muddy Coal and Iron Company in
Iron county. In every position he
has filed he has ably discharged
his duties and been faithful to
evey trust. 1t is al unqualified
pleasure to commend him to the
good people Of Butler county in
particular and all southeast Mis-
souri, in general. He is honest,
straightforward and in every way
worthy. There isn't a man, wo-
man or child in all Iron county
who knows him-and nearly all of
them know him-but can sub
stantiate the statements here made,
and, while we very much regret to
see him leave us, we all wish him
greatest success in his new field.
AS an abstractor MI. Huff has few
equals; he is thorough and COM
petent and a splendid business
man. The future, we have no
doubt, will have much of pros
perity for him.
Geo. B. Ellis, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, writes
the REGISTER: cit will doubtless
be of interest to your readers to
know that the schedule of farm
ers' institutes for the coming fall
and winter is now being arranged
by the Secretary OF the Board of
Agriculture, and it is hoped that
the people in every locality where
such meetings are desired will
