past ten years or more, died quite
suddenly Thursday morning last.
The deceased was a native of Fin
land and had lived at Annapolis
almost thirty years. He was
sixty-three years of age and leaves
a wife to mourn his demise. He
was a good citizen and a splendid
official.
We wish to return our most sim
cere thanks to the good citizens,
who battled so bravely and faith
fully to prevent the destruction of
our Office by fire Tuesday morn
ing. Had it not been for their
valiant efforts this corner would
now be in ashes. We have for
years commended that Ironton and
vicinity had the best amateur fire
fighters in the world, and this re-
cent experience confirms us in the
opinion.
We understand that the travel
ing men are circulating a petition
asking the railroad company to
make Ironton a regular stop for
train No. 1. At present it stops
here onlp to unload ST. LOUIS pas.
sengers. Since that rule has been
in force, over a month, the train
has got by this station once. The
train should stop here and we be-
lieve that if the matter is properly
represented to the officials the Or
der will be made.
In this issue of. the REGISTER
will be found the announcement Of
Mr.. A. l.. Hill as a candidate for
Marshal of the City of Ironton.
Nh. Hill needs no introduction to
the people of our town, having
been a resident here for several
years. He has been Constable of
Arcadia township the past year
and made a good official. He o
licits the support of the voters and
promises that if he is elected he
will serve them to the best of his
ability.
A number of our friends from
Reynolds county were in Ironton
last Saturday to attend the meet
ing of the Democratic Senatorial
Committee and also to boom the
candidacy of their favorite, Mr.. @.
M. Buford, for the State Senate.
Among those here were the follow
ing: R. L. January, James Faulk-
enberry, Abe Buford, R. L.. Daniels,
T. D. Shriver, G.. D. Sloan, A. P.
Farris, j. j. Larkin and Thomas
Boston. These are all representa-
tive citizens of Reynolds and the
fact that they are enthusiastic for
Mr.. Buford is quite a compliment
to that young mans worth.
Anent the county seat removal
talk in some section of the county,
it is being told by some parties
that the county court house at this
place is in such a condition that it
is liable to fallNdown at any time.
Such reports are untrue. All of
this talk seems to be based on the
fact that there is a slight crack in
the wall at the southwest corner of
the house. This crack appeared
in the wall of the building shortly
after it was erected, and old in
habitants say it is no worse now
than it was then. The house is
substantial in every way and good
for many years.-Reynolds County
