ular quarterly meeting on the lawn
at the residence of the pastor, Rev.
Geo. Steel on Friday evening at
1880 o'clock P. NJ ALI the MEM

Rev. o. w. Rose, who was fifteen
years ago pastor of the M. E.
church here and at Graniteville,
was in lronton last Saturday on
his way from st. Louis to Little
Rock. Mr.. Rose has been en-
gagged in church work at Little
Rock for the past year and is get
ting along very well.
DR.. Wilson, our veterinary surg
con, drove a fine span of horses to
Ironton and back last Saturday,
and just as he got home one of
them staggered and fell, and died
in a very short time. The DR..
generally has pretty good horses,
but that drive was too much for
that one,-Fredericktoapn Tribune.
We regret to learn that our good
friend, Rev. j. M. Huber, who has
been stationed at the Ursuline Con-
vent in Arcadia the past two or
three years, has been transferred
to Advance, Mo. Father Huber is
a most excellent gentleman, and
the REGISTER certainly wishes him
greatest success in his new field.
A diamond drill outfit and a
number of men and teams from
the, lead belt passed through here
last Friday morning on their way
to Marble Creek, where they will
be for some time employed pros
pecting the land there recently
optioned by st. Francois county
parties. We hope their finds will
be rich.
The Christian Endeavorers of the
Presbyterian Church have arrang-
ed fore Literary, Musical and Ice
Cream Social, to be given at the
Church on Tuesday evening, July
18th. Entertainment will be in the
Church beginning at eight o'clock,
and the ice cream will be served on
the lawn. The entertainment is
free and all are invited.
After careful and thoughtful con-
sideration the REGISTER is of the
opinion that the location in the
valley of the proposed sanitarium
for the treatment of tuberculosis is
not to be desired. And we believe
that a majority of our people have
the same opinion in the premises.
And, furthermore, even If we want
ed it we wouldn'thave ga ghost of
a show" to land the institution.
But we don't want it.
Ernest Smith and Lee Usher of

The Fourth at Ironton was cele-
brated in the usual way: a barbe-
cue-with the meats greatly de-
fcient in quantity-at Goulding's
Park, during the day, and a ball at
night; Roman candles, fire-crack-
ers, sky-rockets, balloons, etc.
The picnic crowd was a big one
and good-natured. Few DRINKS
and no scraps. The ball was we'll
attended. The weather was per-
feet. By-and-large the celebra-
ton was a success, if the process
sion was not imposing.
From the 18th of June to last
