Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1905-02-02

The firms of Whitworth and
Tual, Arcadia, have finally con-
cluded not to consolidate. Mr..
Tual will probably build a new
storehouse on the corner opposite
the place occupied by Mr. Whit
worth.
Alfred Hale, ESQ.,, of Belleview,
some time ago sold his farm to
David Silvey for $500. Mr.. Silvey
is now on the farm and will here
after be a resident of Iron county.
Mr.. Hale has taken up his resi-
dence in "Cross Roads,"
The entire town of Iron Noun
tain with 1900 acres of land has
been bought by a Chicago syndi-
cate, which will establish a model
stock farm there. The price paid
was 500, 900. There are PIG houses
in the town.-Fdrmington Times.
Judge Williams has appointed
G. T. Jarvis as official court
stenographer. This is a good APP
pointment, as Claudeis thoroughly
acquainted with the work, having
served in that capacity for a num-
Der of years,-GreenviUe Journal.
| like the individual, who, over
flowing with venom, interjects be-
tween his approximations thereof,
the sweetest exhortations to Christ
ian love and fraternal unity. His
example is edifying and instruct-
i've. Yes, we have him with us.
A law establishing a Federal
Court for Southeast Missouri was
passed by the United States Sen
ate last week. AS the bill has
already been passed by the House
all that is needed for it to become
a law is the Presidents signature.
Among the "Missouri New Cor
porations'' in Saturdays Globe
Democrat 1 find the following:
"South Hungarian Colonization
and Land Company of st. Louis;
$4,000, all paid. Incorporators,
Solymosy Oliver, Frank Mullin, J..
L. Conway, William Conway,
Joseph Hanna and D. A. Jilly."
On last Thursday one of Hender-
son & Shelton's livery teams, while
left standing for a few moments in
front of their stable, took a notion
to move on. They went through
Arcadia and Russellville, finally
returning to the barn, and, remark
able to relate, everything was in
tact with the exception of a couple
of lap robes.
The residence of Charley w.
White of L~esterville came near be-
ing consumed by fire, on Tuesday,
and but for the timely arrival of
the bucket brigade, would have
done so. AS it was, the entire roof
was torn away in order to save the
building and contents. People
cannot be too careful about stoves,
fires, etc.-Reynolds Outlook.
I learn that Mr.. j. N. Tins, for
merly of this county, but now a
resident of Arkansas, has pur-
chased the Dixie 1.-THE old Lotz)
farm, and will soon be neighbor
to us again. The purchase price
is said to be $4,000, and the place is
worth every cent of it. Mr.. Tins
is a good man in every sense of
the word, and the REGISTER ex-
tends to him a cordial welcome to
his old stamping ground"
I see that some person in Ar
cadia regudiates with indignation
the proposed establishment of a
saloon and 'sbucket shop in that
town. Happily, however, for the
entertainment and diversion of the
rising generation ofthe Valley, the
good, old, honest "craps'' game is
under no interdict, Judging from
it's long uninterrupted career-ex-
cept when interfered with by some
over-zealous Ironton official.
The REGISTER inadvertently
failed to make mention of the
dedication exercises of the new
Baptist church, which occurred
January Sth. The services we're
interesting and impressive and a
splendid sermon was delivered by
Rev. j. G. Armstrong of st. Louis.
Our Baptist friends are to be con-
graduated on having one of the
handsomest and most conveniently
arranged church houses in the
southern part of the State.
A farmer down in Arkansas on
returning home from hunting the
other day found his neighbor just
leaving the house, and being of a
jealous nature, drew his gun and
filled the mans legs with fine shot.
A lawsuit followed and it was then
learned that the man was there to
borrow the local paper. The law
suit cost S75 and the doctor bill
was S25, and S1.50 would have
saved the trouble. 1t pays to be a
subscriber to the home paper at
all times.
At the last session of the X. of P.
Lodge Of this place, Henry Adolph
was elected delegate to the meeting
Of the Southeast Missouri Associa-
ton, which meets in Cardwell to-
day, for the purpose of selecting
the time and place for the next
annual celebration. This part of
the state favors De Soto, though
the delegate went uninstructed.
Several other places are trying to
capture the celebration, but as yet
it is only a matter of conjecture as
to where twill be held.
Maybe some of the younger
