Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1907-08-22


Joseph Campbell, who lives on
Crane Pond and has his orchard on
the hill, has a fine crop of peaches,
which he finds a most ready market
for in his visits to the Valley. The
REGISTER is indebted to Mr..
Campbell for some very fine large
peaches.
George w. Clarkson was here
Tuesday. George has been max
ing his home in the east for several
years past, but tells us that he will
move back to Missouri this fall.
He says that he and his family will
probably make their home in Ar
cadia this winter.
b. j. Brown, the knife man, who
made his home in a little tent back
of the old Baptist church property
in Ironton, pulled stakes a couple
of weeks ago, and it has been re-
ported was Killed at Bismarck a
few days later. We have no con-
frmation of the report, however.
Again the rumor is revived that
the railroad company contemplate
combining the Ironton and Ar
cadia depots. That is, have one
station somewhere near the bridge
serve for both towns. 1t is prob
ably only rumor, however, but in
the meantime we can wait for our
new station.
Representative Polk has written
from California that he will spend
the winter in the Golden State, and
has asked the school board of the
Belleview district to release him
from his contract of teaching the
school there this year. The board
has not yet found any one to teach
the school, we understand.
The Ironton boys played bum ball
last Sunday, and as a result were
defeated by the Irondale club in a
score of s to Z. A new rule was
put in force on this occasion, all
male adults being charged an adj
mission fee of Twenty-Five cents.
Quite a bunch refused to pay and
stood on the outside and jeered the
home team all through the game.
The stork paid a visit to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Nall
in st. Louis Monday, August 18th,
and left them a beautiful baby girl.
Frank, of course, is very proud
and steps pretty high, but the smile
that gladdens his face, we are told,
isn't a circumstance to the light
that illumines the c~ountenance of
grandpa Walter. The REGISTER
extends congratulations and best
wishes to all.
,Mr. Downey, the railroad agent,
recently received a letter from the
officials Of the company at st.
Louis, asking whether the people
of Ironton would give a bonus to a
manufacturing concern in st.
Louis that contemplated removing
it's plant from that city to this
pIace-the idea being to utilize the
screen factory buildings. The
letter did not state what was the
nature of the enterprise.
DR.. John A. Hogue, Jr., was here
this week, on his way to see Coun-
ty Commissioner Chapman, at
Cotton Plant, to get a certificate
that will allow him to take the x
animation before the State Medi-
cal Board. He will practice medi-
cine at Holcomb or Clarkton. He
is a product of the Kentucky
School of Medicine, Louisville,
and will make a bright practi-
tioner.-DUnkIin Democrat.
After having ignored the new
law requiring it to run at least one
train on all its lines on Sunday for
two months so far as it concerned
the Potosi branch, the Iron Noun
tain has at last, upon the inter-
vention of County Attorney S. G..
Nipper, decided to put a train in
Sunday operation here. We I'M
derstand two trips each way will
be made, outgoing at 10 A. M. and
2 P. NJ, and incoming at 1880 A.
M. and 5 P. M.-Potosi Journal.
T. A. Brooks, the genial sales
man of the Hammond Typewriter
Co., leaves tonight for New York,
he will visit the factory of the
Hammond on a tour of inspection.
The practice of the Hammond has
been for a number of years to
furnish their best salesman with a
free trip to New York each year at
the expense of the company. Mr..
Brooks, standing Al with his
company, is entitled to the trip
this year.-PopIar Bluff Republican.
The late spring made the ice
business very slow until the mid
die of June. In fact, Mr.. johnson
says that up to that time he didn't
sell enough to pay delivery
charges. About then, though, the
business began to rush, and in the
past two months Mr.. Johnson says
he has sold more ice than he ever
sold in an entire season before
His great difficulty has been il
getting ice to supply the demand
In st. Louis there has been
a scarcity all summer.
The county court has decided tx
place on interest the S4132.15 re.
ceived from the State for road
purposes until next year. Thu
