Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1905-05-18

We are advised that not one OF
our subscribers at Graniteville re-
ceived the REGISTER last week.
The fault is not ours, as we mailed
the papers last Wednesday eve-
ming as usual. The fault is prob
ably with the railway mail clerks,
who have missent the Graniteville
package.
Mr.. Charles Grant, who had
charge of the construction of the
creamery in Arcadia, and has
operated the plant since it has been
running, will, we understand, soon
leave for Oklahoma. Mr.. Grant
will be succeeded by another man
who also thoroughly understands
the business.
De Soto, that has for many
years, in many respects, been the
most wide-open town in all South
east Missouri, threatens to put the
lid on on Sundays in the near
future. Good. The way the stores
keep open in De Soto you can
never tell when the first day of the
week comes. If you close one,
close them all. That's fair.
The express rate from st. Louis
here is Is cents per hundred
pounds. Yet we paid seventy
cents last week on a package
weighing sixty pounds. Notwith-
standing the excessive rates
charged the service is very de-
ficient, and not at all to be relied
upon. Frequently goods ordered
by express are longer in coming
than when sent by freight.
The REGISTER is in receipt of a
card from Mrs. Mary Weed Dyer,
of Riverside, California, announce
ing the marriage of her daughter,
Mary Josephine, and Mr.. George
Albert Scoville, Wednesday, May
10, 1906. The bridegroom is the
second son of our old friend and
former fellow townsman, Mr..
Frank Scoville. MANY friends
here wish the young nan and his
bride every happiness.
G. H. Leggett and family, of Bis
marck, visited Mrs. Leggett's sis
ter, Mrs. Herman Trauernicht, the
first of the week. Mr.. Leggett has
been in the hardware business at
Bismarck for the past eight years
until a few weeks ago when he
sold out to a Mr.. Fleming of St.
Joseph. We are sorry to find Mr..
Leggett in poor health. He will
leave for Hot Springs in a fe days
where he hopes to regain his for
mer health.-Farmington News.
Mr.. W. L. Orr, a representative
of the Arkansas Fertilizer Com
pany, of Little Rock, is in our
county this week examining the
soils and taking samples for an
alysis, so as to be able to make
fertilizers to suit local conditions.
We understand they are doing
this wherever they sell fertilizers.
Why not our farmer friends get in
the push and have a sample taken
from the farm, and if it needs
doctoring, doctor it. What's a
farm without an up-to-date, 60
ahead farmer?
An exchange printed the follow
ing marriage ceremony, which
was said by a Tennessee Squire a
short time ago: "Wilt thou take
her for thy pard for better or for
worse; to have to fondly guard
until hauled off in a hearse? Wilt
thou let her have her way, consult
her many wishes, make the fires
every day and help her wash the
dishes? Wilt thou comfort her
father and mother, Aunt Jemima
and Uncle John, three sisters and
a brother. And his face grew pale
and blank, it was too late to jilt;
as to the floor he sank and slowly
said Il wilt"
The Wealaka Mercantile and
Manufacturing company, of lei
tonia, has sold it's farm, the old
Zeitinger place of $50 acres, to
August Fetter & Son, of Chipawa
Falls, Wisconsin; consideration
$4,000. This includes the farm,
store, buildings, household goods,
etc. Fetter & Son traded a farm
of 210 acres in Wisconsin in the
deal. G. j. Zeitinger, manager Of
the Wealaka Company, informs
us that his company still retains
a large amount of property in Rey-
nolds county, including a saw mill.
The farm sold has been property
of the Zeitinger family for a
quarter of a century. = Piedmont

Commerce, Mo-, and community
has been greatly blessed by a
genuine revival of religion, which
was conducted by Rev. William
Swope, of Bertrand, Mo. During
the two weeks april $500 they
had ifty-two conversions, as far
as we know; eighteen reclama-
tions, sixty-three additions and
two orthree qualifications, Com
merce has not witnessed such a
revival for more than twenty years.
There is yet a good work to be
done here. Pray that all be faith
full. 0. Coppage, P. c., in st.
Louis Advocate.
Rev. w. G. Swope is the min
lister who is to be at Ironton the
last Of May to assist in the tent
meeting.
