About three weeks ago James
M. Logan, of Belleview, purchased
a portion of the Goulding estate,
west of town, at trustees sale for
$1,000. We are informed that Mr..
Logan last week refused an offer
of $4,000 for the property.
Notwithstanding the frequent
rains, which generally insures a
good crop of hay, we hear many
people saying that the meadows
are in bad condition and the yield
will not be anything to compare
with what it was last year.
DR.. D. H. Mckenzie has returned
from Arizona, where he had ex.
pected to locate, and has located
in the lead belt, in st. Francois
county. We understand that
Arizona did not suit the Doctor a
little bit.-Reynolds County Outlook.
Prof. Daugherty writes from the
far western part of the State that
vacation days are passing very
pleasantly with him. His friends
will be panied to. hear, though,
that the scorching rays of the July
sun threaten to tan his fair (?)
complexion.
The REGISTER last week mad
vertantly failed to make mention
of the M. E. Conference, which
was in session at the M. E. church
in Ironton for three days the week
previous. The session is said to
have been an interesting and
profitable one.
The Belmont branch, south OF
Lutesville, was badly washed out
by the rain of last Thursday.
Several miles of track are said to
still be in bad shape. The trains
only run as far south as Lutesville,
and it may be several days before
the road is repaired.
The representative from the At
torney- Generals Office, whom the
st. Louis papers said would be
here last week to investigate the
attempted lynching of the
Spaughs, failed to show up, Or if
he did come, did not disclose his
identity to the public.
The Arcadia boys played the
Ironton boys a game of ball Tues
day over in Cuba. Duncan Robert
son, captain of the Arcadia team,
asks the REGISTER to publish the
score, which was Is to 1 in favor
of Arcadia. The Arcadia boys
say they are just the best what is.
We didn't get our morning mail
from st. Louis last Friday until
six o'clock in the evening. On
account of the heavy rains the
night before there was a washout
on the railroad between Piedmont
and Leeper, and during the day
all trains were sent over the Bel
mont branch.
Hereafter there will be prayer
meeting on Thursday nights at the
brick chapel in Ironton. 1t being
a night when there is no prayer
meeting at any other church in
town, the membership of the
different churches, and the public
generally, are most cordially in
vited to attend.

People in the neighborhood of
Des Arc say that the rain there on
the night of July 18th was the
heaviest of which they have any
record in that vicinity. Fields
were submerged and fences washed
away that for forty years have
supposed to be above high water
mark. The rain was something
like a cloud burst.
Fred. w. Hempelmann is circu-
lating a petition asking the county
court to grant license for a saloon
to be established in Arcadia. The
petition will require a majority of
the taxpayers of the township.
We are not advised as to what
place in Arcadia Mr.. Hempleman
will locate his saloon in case he is
successful in securing license.
The station, the tank and the
pusher will probably remain at
Arcadia, and not go to Hogan, but
the "Y" may be established at
the latter place. In this connec-
ton It is stated that there will
probably be more freight trains on
the road again in the near future.
Heavy stock shipments from Texas
are expected to supply the traffic.
