to Mr.. j. G. Medley, who will con-
duct the business hereafter. |
hope all my friends who have
patronized me, through sunshine
and storm, will continue to do
their trading with Mr.. Medley,
who is an experienced merchant
and can serve your needs much
better than l could. l can build
houses, but | can not sell goods.
| am not built that way. But |
never forget q friend, and | still
cherish a warm spot for the friends
who patronized the Arcadia VAL
ley Store. Yours, Truly,
LOUIS MILLER.
We understand that the aband-
oned wareroom of the old screen
factory was the scene of a holly
contested prize fight Saturday
last. The aspirants for fistic hon
ors were Columbus Cooley and
Bert. Mitchell, two colored light
weights. Some three hundred
spectators were in attendance, and
for a while the fight was fast and
furious, but in the fourth round,
Columbus got in his fine work
doubtless something that he
learned in Jefferson City, and
Mitchell was knocked down and
out. The hackers of Mitchell say,
however, that had their man not
partaken so freely of the flowing
bowl just prior to the fight, the
contest would have had a different
ending.
The REGISTER this week pub
fishes the announcement of George
L. Smith, principal of the Arcadia
school, as a candidate for County
Commissioner of Public Schools,
subject to the will of the voters at
the school election to be held next
Tuesday, April I'd. Prof. Smith
has long been recognized as one OF
the best equipped and most sue
cessful teachers in the county, and
his friends think that he would
make an ideal commissioner. He
asks the REGISTER to tell the voters
that in the short time intervening
between now and the election it
will be impossible for him to see
them all personally, but he re-
spectfully solicits their support,
promising that should he be elect
ed he will show his appreciation
of the honor and confidence be-
slowed, by discharging the duties
of the Office to the very best OF hi'
ability.
Services will be held in st
Paul's church on Good Friday a
!. 10 A. M. and 7:30P. NJ. Easter will
| be celebrated in the usual manner
In addition to the midday cele'
bration of the Holy Eucharist
there will be two earlier celebra'
tions: n at $3.50 A. M. and an
other at 1880 A. M. Evening praye
l at 1870 P. NJ. The church will b.
appropriately decorated, the musi'
of a festal nature, and the sermons
. will deal with certain phases o
I the great truth for which the day

R sent to each family in which Their

and it is hoped that each n vii

possible. These offerings are de
voted primarially, if not exclusive

st. Paul's church has the reputa
