Tuesday morning we were adj
vised that last weeks REGISTERS
had not yet been received at the
Des Arc, Glover and Piedmont
post"offices. While we are not
advised we have no doubt other
offices south of here we're also late
in getting the papers. We are at
a loss to understand why this de-
lay. The papers were mailed
here last Wednesday evening and
should have been received at the
offices named the following day at
the latest. Somebody is inexcus-
ably careless and negligent, and
we are going to try and find out
who it is.
The Southeast Holiness Asso-
citation will convene as Des Arc,
Mo-, October Sd to Sth; everybody
invited to attend. We expect
three preachers from Texas, and
invite every preacher and his
members of every denomination
to attend this gathering, as well
as those who are not members OF
churches and make no profession
of Christ. We do not fight the
church but recommend that every
saved man or woman become a
member of the church of their
choice, and fight sin wherever it
might be found. Come and visit
the school which is only one-hali
mile from town.

ed from here simultaneously with
the killing of his close friend and
partner in business, Douglas New
man, on August 21st, has beer
located at Waulric, Oklahoma
Last Saturday Rust's wife, who
lives in Ironton, received d letter
from him telling where he was and
saying that he was ready to return

killing was an accident, that he
has been a most miserable mar
ever since it occurred and has
known no rest or peace of mind
since the eventful day when the
sad tragedy happened. Rust has
been employed as a cotton picker
during his sojourn in Oklahoma
He will probably be brought bach
to Ironton within the week.
A little piece of interesting news
in regard to the recent shut dowr
of the Federal lead company a.
Flat River was told us this week al
Offering an explanation for thu
move. The report that this com
pany had commenced to sinl
shafts on land they did not own O
control ia pronounced tommy
rot. The party who gave us thi'
item appeared to be sure on hi
point. He said that for some tins
the Guggenheins had been trying
to get possession of the Doe Rur
and Bonnie Terre lead companies
They were large stockholders il
both companies. Recently thes'
two companies increased thei
capital stock and the Guggen
helms had secured their proper
: ton which had been divided
among the stockholders in proper
ton to the old stock they held an,
T in this way the new issue of tn
!, stock was taken up by the ole
stock stockholders. It is intimat
ed that some of the stakeholder
have their stock up for collatera
and the Guggenheims, knowini
this have undertaken to hamme
the price of lead down, thereby re
ducing the value of the stock tina
had been put up as collateral b,
the stockholders of these two lea,
concerns, forcing them to put u
margins with the hopes that som
!, of them will be forced to let g
their stock and the Guggenheim
will buy it up and thus get a con
J trolling interest in these tw
plants. Whether this is really tn
/, scheme or not. we hardly think j
