Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1906-03-22

Atthe meeting OF the Democratic
Central Committee last Saturday
it was determined to have a pri-
mary election May 10Th. The pro-
ceedings are printed elsewhere. i,
Mrs. F. M. Bingham, who ha.
been sick in the Deconess' Hospit-
al, st. Louis, was brought to Iron.
ton last Thursday, and is now still
quite sick at the home of her adopt
ed daughter, Mrs. j. G. Reynolds.
DR.. Gay and j. L. Baldwin left
Saturday on a trip to Coleman,
Texas. The trip was taken with
the hope that it would prove bene-
fetal to the Dr., who has not been
in the best of health the past few
weeks.
Attention is directed to the adj
vertisement of F. o. Codding, the
butcher who has succeeded Mr..
Nagel. Mr.. Codding expects to
run a first-class up-to-date market
and respectfully solicits the pat
ronage of the public.
Geo. Kells, who has been run
ming an engine on the south end
for some time past, had an acct
dent recently for which he was
dismissed from the company's
service. Mr.. Kells has been maxi
ing his home at Piedmont.
After a cold spell, lasting overa
week, with all kinds of snow and
sleet and ice, the skies cleared
Tuesday, and now we again have
promise of springtime. It was the
longest siege of cold weather ever
known in March in this section.
We rather expected that some of
the candidates for county offices
would make their wants known
through the announcement column
this week, but they haven't. AS
the primary is to be held May 10Th,
the running will soon have to be-
gin.
Just received at the store seed
potatoes, viz: Red River Early
Ohio, Burbanks, Early Rose and
Bliss Triumphs, and Garden Seed,
Grass Seed, Whipporwill Peas,
and Onion Sets at E. L. Barn
houses, South of courthouse
square.
There was no session of circuit
court this week to try the case
against A. P. Vance. Judge Will
liams wrote last week that Judge
Killan could not come this week.
The case has now been set for May
I'd, when Judge Davis of Saline
county will preside.
Prof. Fred. Cureton, principal,
sends us a programme of the COM
mencement exercises Of the Mil
lersville, Mo-, High School. This
is Prof. Cureton's third year there
and his Iron county friends will be
glad to know that he is getting
along very nicely, indeed.
VIM. Wehner of Pilot Knob left
this morning for New Albany, In
diana, where he goes to accept a
position with the Prudential Life
Insurance Company under Mr.. E.
HI. Amelung. Will is a good boy
and many friends here hope that
the best is in store for him.
The approved Summer School at
the Springfield Normal will be
held this year between the dates
of county examinations. The term
will open April 9th and close June
9th. Nine weeks of splendid work
before the June examination. To-
tai cost $3.50. Teachers may pay
in monthly payments next fall.
Miss Kate Reel is in st. Louis in
the interest of the millinery de-
partment of the Lopez Store Co.
Miss Reel will remain probably a
couple of weeks studying the styles
and selecting the spring stock.
From her former successes it is
easy to believe the ladies will not
be disappointed on her return with
the new stock.
The REGISTER regrets very much
to hear of the fire that destroyed
the mercantile establishment of E.
w. Graves at Des Arc early Mon
day morning. Mr.. Graves carried
a large stock and the loss is con-
siderable. With characteristic
push and energy, however, he will
at once commence to rebuild and
have a bigger and better store than
ever.
John H. Curran, Of st. Louis.
president of the immigration AS
ISOLATION Of Missouri, was a visitor
to the valley Monday. Mr.. Curran
says the Ozark country is on the
eve of a big boom and the town
that offers the most inducements
will receive the greatest benefits.
Mr.. Curran will be here again soon
and wants to have a public meet
ing of our citizens.
M. w. Daugherty will begin a
summer term of school in this city
on Monday, April %, 1906, to con-
tinue for six weeks. All branches
will be reviewed thoroughly. The
art of imparting instruction will be
discussed as he sees it. This with
the best methods of discipline will
be taken up for the benefit Of
teachers. Address him for any
information desired.
Geo. M. Johnson was quite bad
ly hurt while hauling hoops out Of
