Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1906-08-30

man by the name of Reynolds
from East st. Louis. The new
purchaser takes charge to-day.
Mr.. Fernich, who has been in
charge, has returned to st. Louis.
Willard and Willard Wigger and
Joel Lowe of st. Francois county
were arraigned before the u. S.
Commissioner here last Saturday,
on the charge of destroying mail
boxes on a rural delivery route
near Pennington. The defend
ants were held for the federal
grand jury.
We understand that Mr.. E. D.
Shattuck, station agent at Ironton
a couple of years ago. and a young
lady living in the south end of the
county will be united in marriage
next Sunday. The REGISTER tend
ers congratulations and best
wishes. Mr.. Shattuck is now To-
Gated at Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Will Brown returned to his home
in st. Louis last Friday, after
spending a few days in Ironton.
Will used to work in the REGISTER
office and in every way he is a
splendid boy. We are glad to
know that he has a good position
with the Hamilton Brown Shoe
Company, and is getting along
very nicely. He deserves all the
good luck that may come his way.
j. l. Hackworth of Reynolds
county came to town last Wednes-
day, and after filling up on booze
went to GREEN'S restaurant where
he made himself generally OBJ
noxious. He was arrested and
taken before the mayor, who fined
him 81 and costs, amounting in all
to about $3.50, which was paid,
and Hackworth departed for the
kingdom of Reynolds-poorer if
not wiser.
Up to Monday evening the Iron
Mountains shipment of melons
from this district amounted to 1850
cars. Perhaps one hundred more
will clean up the seasons bust
ness. It is said that the growers
have Jared we'll this year; better
than usual, owing to partial fail
ure of crops in about all melon
producing sections. This seasons
shipments also exceeded last sea-
sons by about $50 cars.-Oharles-

The REGISTER this week prints
the announcement of George w.
Marshall as a candidate for Con-
stable of Arcadia Township, sub
|ject to the action of the voters at
the November election. For the
past six months Mr.. Marshall has
filled the position Of City Marshal
of the City of Ironton, and has
proven himself q good peace
officer. Should he be elected Con-
stable we have no doubt he will
prove equally efficient in that po-
sition.
The Canada thistle is getting too
prevalent in this section for the
farmers comfort. AS he who
makes two blades of grass to grow
where but one grew before, is a
benefactor to his race, SO he who
tears up by the roots and destroys
this noxious weed is entitled to the
blessing of his neighbors. Once
it gets a firm and numerous hold
on the soil it is almost as ineradic-
, able as the ticks and chiggers that
infest the woods and are the bane
of the picnickers.
The desire to get drunk and
raise Cain must beat high in the
breasts of some people; and, usu-
ally, they are those who are least
able to pay the consequent "dol-
lar-and-costs," or to waste thei1
days within the confines of the
Jail, or both. "What fools these
mortals be-" said Puck several
hundred years ago, when c%iviliza-
, ton and culture were in their cal
low youth. Maybe his expression
applied more generally then than
now; but | doubt it.
A Kansas editor has noticed thai
any time you see a man finding
fault with his local paper, the
chances are ten to one that he
i: hasn't an advertisement in it; five
| to one that he never gave it jot
work; three to one that he does
, not take the paper; two to one
l that if he is a subscriber he is de-
linquent; even chances that he
never does anything to assist the
publisher to run a better paper
: and forty to one he is the mos
, eager to see the paper when il
1 comes out.
= Last Friday evening the sum
mer girls at the Arcadia Hotel hac
a dance all to themselves. The
other gender was barred. The
i, first number on the programme
: was given at 8 o'clock, and "Home
Sweet Home" waltz concluded the
proceedings at about 1880
:. Waltzes and Two Steps, with the
Virginia Reel as a diversion, made
!, up the numbers, and the ladieI
certainly know how to step then
in time to the music. The party
: was a roundup Of their sojourn il
8 the Valley, they departing mex
d day for the city.
