and Merrill Pipkin, ESQ.,, of Farm
ington, as members of the Board
of Managers of State Hospital No.
"A, vice Mr.. M. P. Cayce of Farm
ington, and Judge Higginbotham
of Washington county.
The friends of the family will
be sorry to hear that Mrs. W. w.
Nall had to be taken to the Dea-
coness' Hospital, st. Louis, last
Monday. She will undergo an
operation to-day. 1t is not of a
very serious nature, however, and
hopes are entertained of her inn
mediate restoration to health.
Judge Johnson two weeks ago
showed us tao ripe, full-grown
strawberries in refutation of the
statement the REGISTER had made
that the earlier crop had all been
killed by frosts. He says he thinks
he will grow a fair crop of the later
varieties. Isn't about time our
home strawberry was coming in?
There will be a basket picnic
held at the Frank Callison farm,
on the Greenville road, four miles
south of Arcadia, on Saturday,
June 10Th. There will be dancing
and plenty of other amusements.
Refreshments of all kinds can be
obtained on the grounds. An in
vitation is extended to all.
The star mail route west, whose
starting point from Ironton was
changed to Arcadia about two
years ago, has been remanded to
this place. The reason for its re-
moval to Arcadia, in the first in
stance, is such as could be enter
tanned only by an astute inspector,
who probably meant we'll, but is
beyond the ordinary mind.
Mr.. w. H. r. Brown, a former
attachee of this Office, is now rum
ing as conductor of a Pullman.
Last week he sent me a souvenir
from Old Mexico, characteristic of
that country. 1t is a silk hand
kerchief, embroidered, so to say,
with pictures of a bull fight in all
its phases. The package was
enclosed in an envelope marked
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
j. F. Lindsay of this city has the
sympathy of the Banner in the loss
by death of his sister, Mrs. Annie
Livingstone. Mrs. Livingstone
died at her home in Cabool, Texas
county, April 9th, of gastric
ulcers. She was a member of the
Congregational church and was a
good woman loved by all who
knew her. She leaves a husband,
one daughter, an aged mother, two
sisters and four brothers to mourn
her loss.-Piedmont Banner.
The citizens of billiard are pro-
posing to cut off a portion of Dent,
Crawford, Washington, Reynolds
and Iron COMMITTEES and form a new
county out of the territory, with
billiard as county seat. We do
not know how far the move has
gone. F. G. Flickinger, the Sligo
civil engineer, has made a map of
the proposed new county. 1t will
take considerable time and lots of
work to form ANEW county out OF
parts of other counties as con-
templated.-Sdlem Republican.
The following with an en-
closure) is from subscriber E. T.
Elgan, now of Cotton, California:
"The REGISTER is an ever well
come visitor; just like a letter
from home. We are all getting
along fine. Mrs. Elgan's and my
health is much improved. The
children are doing we'll; Carl is
keeping books for the leading
meat market and l am working for
tho Brookings Lumber & Box Co.
Farmer keeps busy and has good
health. Give our regards to all
the friends"
AT the instance of Prosecuting
Attorney Damron, Constable Mar
shall last Thursday arrested j. N.
Long, manager of the Orphans
Home south of Arcadia. The
charge against the accused is the
cruelty whipping Mary Seaton,
one of the inmates of the Home,
aged about ten years. Mr.. Long
was taken before Squire Rasche,
who set his trial for next Friday,
and placed him under $3.50 bond.
Messrs. Louis Miller and John
Medley became his sureties. The
alleged offense was committed in
February.
On the 4th of May the Ironton
school board elected Oliver Ora
ham, of Warrensburg, principal
for the coming year, but attaching
some conditions with which he re-
fused to comply. Then, on the
18th, S. L. Clayton, of Pacific, Mo-.
was chosen; but that same eve-
ming he was re-employed at Pa
cifc. There is an old saying thai
between two stools one falls to, the
ground, but this doesn't apply tc
teachers, it seems. The more APP
plications for place the greater the
chance for employment. The
Ironton board has ''another guess

The revival at the M. E. church
is progressing nicely, and let us
expect great and greater things
yet. There have been five con-
versions and five %accessions thus
far, and quite an interest is mani
fest in others. Services each after
