Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1907-04-11

On a recent visit to st. Louis we
met John w. Harral, formerly OF
Belleview. From what Mr.. Harral
said we don't think he altogether
likes city life, and will probably
locate on a farm somewhere in the
not far distant future.
Circuit Court meets in regular
session Monday, April 3d.. The
docket is a very light one, and will
require but little time to be dis
posed of. The fact that a grand
jury will be enrolled may prolong
the term to some extent.
We understand that there is a
''row" on downin Des Arc over
the town election, held there last
week. Particulars are not forth
coming, but we are advised that
the matter will probably get in the
courts before it is adjusted.
John Stevenson, of Des Arc, was
in to see US Monday. Mr.. Steven
son says that the Bank of Des Arc
is already to commence business
as soon as the charter is received
from the Secretary of State, which
will probably be sometime this
week.
Walter Newman was here from
Leeper Monday. Walter is now
in business for himself, having
severed his connection with the
Leeper Company. Walter is a
mighty good boy, and his Iron
county friends wish MIN greatest
success.
To j. H. Mcfarland, agent fol-
the Cotton Belt railroad at Mount
Pleasant, Texas, we are indebted
for a very convenient and hand
some note book, issued by the adj
vertising department of the Cot
ton Belt road. Mr.. Mcfarland has
our thanks.
Twelve tickets were in the field
in the recent city election in Cape
Girardeau. Our former townsman,
DR.. Patton, was the nominee on
ten of the tickets. Judging from
this and his triumphant election
and the Cape a Republican town
we take it the DR.. is a pretty popu-
lar man over there.
A Kansas City paper is authority
for the statement that the United
States Supreme Court will pass
on the appeal of VIM. Spaugh, the
convicted murder, on April 22d.
He is under sentence to hang at
This place on the 26th Of that
month.-CentreUiLIe Outlook.
The advertisement of Mr.. G. N.
Sawyer, butcher, appears in this
issue of the REGISTER. Mr.. Saw
yer has recently removed to the
Giovanoni building, east of the
court house, and is better prepared
than ever before to serve his pat
rons. He asks your patronage
and insures satisfaction.
Moved and carried that Benny
be authorized to go ahead and
build the high school. He seems
to think that he is the only man in
the community who has sense
enough to proceed in the proper
manner. Benny's opinion Of him
self is a long ways the biggest
thing we know about him.
1t only costs two cents a mile
now to ride on the Iron Mountain
railroad in Arkansas. The two
cent law went into effect in that
State Tuesday, and the railroads
r obeying it. Perhaps, after all,
then, we will get to ride for two
cents a mile in Missouri. The law
does not become effective here UNI
til about June 18th.
What the REGISTER said a few
weeks ago in reference to the
neglected and desolate appearance
of the Emerson property was not
in the nature of criticism at all. 1t
was merely a lament because OF
the changed condition Of affairs.
And the bald assertion that sit is
the best kept property in the val
ley'' doesn't alter the facts.
The county court last week APP
pointed D. P. Burnham, of Granite
vile, as a member of the county
board of education for the ensu-
ing two years. The other member
of the board will be appointed by
the State board in the course of a
week or so. The board is COM
posed of the county commissioner
and the two appointees.
Rev. 7. w. Shannon, of Fred
ericktown, did not get here the
past week with his selection OF
flowers, plants, bulbs, garden
seeds, bibles, etc. He will be here
before long, though, and will be
located at Fairchild's store-not
the Christ bakery building, as
previously stated. The sales will
be made under the auspices of the
ladies of Fort Hill church. Exact
date will be announced later.
