The town COW is an appurtenance
seemingly hard to be rid of. Roam
oke, Virginia, with 700 of her in
question, lately took from them
the freedom of the city; but only
after two elections and a lawsuit.
Though they finally had to go,
they did not go at once and stood
very much upon the order of their
going. Here in Ironton the horse
has gone and the hog keeps him
company in his exile; but the
splotching COW, with her Sleep
numbering bell, is immune from
legal restriction. Truly, the logic
of events is sometimes hard to
follow.
For two weeks, during the late
"cold snap" the icy sidewalks
made pedestrianism a snare to the
unwary and a burden to all. | was
fortunate enough to not measure
my length upon the frozen ground,
but %perforce INDUCED in some
pedal exhibitions wholly unsuited
to the dignity of my years. Here
and there the tension was relieved
by a friendly coating of ashes
spread through the care of some
true Christian. | do not know of
a better method of evincing ones
humanity to man, and regret that
to refer to it is to note the exception
rather than the rule.
Rev. E. H. White, of Caledonia,
Mo-, was on a visit to friends in
Kennett this week and preached at
the Methodist church Wednesday
night.on the "Coming of the King
DOM" Fifty years ago he was a
Methodist circuit rider, and his
circuit included Kenneth. He
probably held the first important
revival in the town. Mr.. White is
now seventy-five years old, but is
in the full vigor of his intellectual
faculties, and looks as if he might
be good for ten years service yet.
He is now pastor of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church at Glib
son.-Dunklin Democrat.
l hear of the probable coming to
the Valley this summer, for ''sum-
mer outing" of a society COM
posed of young ladies in the city
who are bread-winners for them
selves and those dependent upon
their exertions. They will come
if suitable quarters and grounds
can be obtained, either by rent or
purchase. The REGISTER hopes
their quest may not be in vain,
but that they may be enabled to
enjoy the pure air and beautiful
scenery of this lovely Valley dur
ing the time that tries the souls of
men and women seeking rest and
relaxation from the strenuosity of
the reign of Sirius.
Word was received here last
Wednesday morning that Ellis
Dillon had been killed in a row the
day previous. This was an err
roneous report, although Dillon
did die on the day named. The
following is from the Lead Belt
correspondent to the Pennington
News: CELLS Dillon, a character
known to almost every inhabitant
of Elvins the past fourteen years,
died Tuesday of delirium tremens.
Dillon was A years old, unmarried
and made his home with his sis
ter, Ellen Dillon. For years Dill
Ion had been almost blind. Dur.
the last few months of his life he
drank heavily"
MARRIED-At st. Louis, Mo-,
Tuesday, January 81, 1905, by
Rev. Father Talon, Mr.. Frank P.
AXE and Miss Irene Mccoy. The
ceremony was performed at the
residence of the BRIDES parents,
2133 Adelaide Avenue, friends of
the family, only, being present.
As this item is necessarily written
in anticipation, the dress of the
bride and the appearance of the
groom are left to the discretion of
the reader. OF course, as, to a
great extent, my own happiness
and welfare are concerned in their
future, my wish is for every good
thing to them. So I simply pray
that he may be worthy of the life
partner he has chosen.
The young people have taken
advantage of Mr.. Johnson's in
vitation to use his ice-pond as an
outdoor skating rink. Every
night the pond is thronged with
skaters who glide hither and
thither under the glare Of gaso-
line lamps stationed at suitable
intervals, and the welkin rings
with tuneful shouts and merry
laughter. While old, superanu-
ated curmudgeons like myself are
longing for the balmy breezes of
spring, the youngsters bless the
conditions which house us by the
warm ireside. To tell the truth,
while | envy them I would not de-
prive them of their sport-that is,
not until after so long a time.
This talk of Jealousy between
Ironton and Arcadia is the merest
bosh, if we omit a very few in
dividuals who seem to think that
if they can stir up ill-feeling and
unfriendly rivalry their individual
ends may be subserved. If there
is any portion of our beautiful
Valley which we are not all proud
of, | would like to have it pointed
