Epworth League convention last
week. Prof. Thomas has made a
great success of the Pennington
school, and is now thinking of
establishing an industrial school
and college. He was much inn
pressed with the natural advant-
ages of the Valley as a location
for such an institution. He says
the Newman farm, west of town,
would be an ideal place for the
school he contemplates. His plan
is to organize a stock company
and found a college. We may
hear from him in this connection
later.
I The Ironton base ball team went
over to Fredericktown last Sunday
to play a match game with the
nine of that town. Promptly at
two o'clock the game was called
and five innings were played when
the score stood A to 0 in favor of
Fredericktown. At the beginning
of the sixth inning the pitcher for
the neighboring team, presumably
annoyed by the guying of the Iron
ton rooters, lost his temper and
threw his ball so as to endanger
the Irontons at the bat, finally
casting one ball at the boys on the
bench. He threw with the force
of a catapult, but fortunately hit
nobody. This broke up the game,
the Fredericktowns protesting as
earnestly as their visitors. The
services of the pitcher were then
and there dispensed with and he
was discharged from the team.
"Guying" seems to be an indis-
pensable adjunct to the play, but
| cannot help thinking that it is a
rule that could be more honored
in it's breach than observance. |
am glad that in this instance it led
to no more serious result. The
members of the Ironton nine
speak highly of the conduct of
their opponents, with this one ex-
ception, and hope to measure bats
with them another day.
Our "devil' of thirty-fve years
ago, w. A. Tetwiler, is now issu-
ing a publication which he calls
Information in Cotton, California.
From a recent issue thereof we
take the following: Dropped
down to Corona, first time in six
years, on Sunday, and enjoyed a
visit at the home of Mr.. F. Scoville
and family. The older members
of the family lived in my native
town many years, and each of us
have acquaintance with people of
the town in We days that are
passed. Our talks we're mostly
along reminiscent lines, and it is
astonishing when the families OF
those days yet living and their
branches are recalled and traced
up to learn how they have scat
tered. If all the former residents
of Ironton, Mo-, and their de-
scendants now living in Southern
California would meet at some
appointed place the largeness of
the number would be astonishing.
Yet each would be practically
ignorant of the near presence of
the other if it were not for the old
home paper, the REGISTER, which
follows the departed to all points
of the compass and is the means
of keeping the memories of all
fresh. Well, the Misses Tetwiler,
of Poplar Bluff, Mo-, are being en-
tertained the second week by the
Misses Scoville, but will return
here next Monday"
Our young friend, DR.. F. w.
Trauernicht, attended a meeting
of the Dental Association at Kan
sas City, and afterward made a
visit to Topeka, Kansas, a couple
of weeks ago. His wife and baby
accompanied him, and a pleasant
time was had. On his return the
Dr., telling of his various ex-
periences, related that although
Kansas is a Prohibition State,
there was no lack of the fluids
which both cheer and inebriate,
The labels of Budweiser and
Schlitz and Pabst we're familiar
objects, and he who had the price
need not go athirst. At a local
temperance meeting last Sunday
evening Rev. j. @. Reynolds took
exceptions to DR.. Trauernicht's re-
lation Of his Topeka experience
and read a letter from the mavo1
of that city, who asseverates that

metically sealed within the limits
of his Jurisdiction, and that the
State is 'sdry'' as a powder-horn,
so to speak. This gave flat denial
to DR.. IT'S assertions, and there
fore it was with no little satisfac-
ton that he yesterday morning
handed us the following special te

worth, July 1, 1907: "When the
