When the Republican candidate
for Judge of the western district
went into the booth on election
day he called on some of the cleo
ton officers to help him make out
his ticket. That's the kind of
material that the party of ''pro-
gress and reform" wants to put
in the Offices in Iron county.
The ticket sales at the lronton
station last month were in excess
of $1,000. This is the biggest
business in the history of the
station. Ironton has done her
part to uphold the two-cent law.
If we had anything like the ac-
commodations we are entitled to
the sales would be much larger
still.
By Mondays mail we received
from our friend, Mr.. F. P. Hill
burn, a 8 1-2 pound sweet potato
of the "Vineless Yellow Yam"
variety. tits the largest by 3-4ths
of a pound, of 140 bushels dug
from a half-acre patch on Mr.. Hill
burns farm in Jefferson county,
Arkansas. 1t certainly is fine
looking ~"fruit."
VIM. Trauernicht was in Ironton
Monday on business in the pro-
bate court relative to the estate of
the late Richard Hartnoll of Gran
iteville. The deceased left a will
naming Mr.. Trauernicht as his
executor without bond. The es-
tate is worth probably S2500 and
will be divided among three
nephews of Mr.. Hartnoll's who
live in Massachusetts.
Iron county is a Democratic
oasis in the desert. All the
counties round about US, with the
exception of Reynolds, elected
Republican officials. In Madison
county all that was saved from the
wreck by the Democrats was a
judge of the county court and a
justice of the peace. Sam. Mitts
who used to run a barber shop in
this city, was elected treasurer on
the republican ticket.
Miss Leila o. Neal, who has 9 r
we'd as deputy in the county
clerks Office for q number of years
past, has resigned her position
and gone to st. Louis, where she
will spend the winter taking a
course in shorthand. Miss Leila is
a mighty sweet girl and tho REG
IsTER numbers her among it's truest
and staunchest friends. She is ca
pable and accomplished, and we
wish her the greatest success.
The Republicans did not have
their ratification meeting last
Saturday night, as was first in
tended but postponed it until next
Friday night. "Too big a thing
to get ready in such a short time"
is the reason assigned for delay.
One old blowhard is being quoted
around town as saying he has SO
thousand dollars for the cause''
if it was needed. Well bet there
would be o mighty string attached
to that thousand plunks.
Frank Buckner of Annapolis
came to Ironton Tuesday to at
tend q trial in Squire Rasche's
court, wherein he was defendant,
John Paris endeavoring to have
Buckner put under peace bond.
Because of the absence of Witness
es the case was continued. Before
he left he was arrested on four
charges of selling whiskey without
a license. In default of bond he
was sent to jail. Buckner has been
running a beer depot at Annapolis
for several months.
