In Memoriam.

How rapidly they are passing!
the residents whose location here
was coeval with birth of our little
city. In all save a very few in
stances, their places have been
made vacant and are filed with
those not 'sto the manor born"
New names and strange faces are
known to the town, and ever the
cry, "The King is dead! Long live
the King!" resounds along its busy
streets. Truly, the Death Roll ex-
ceeds!
David Gunton, the subject of this
brief memorial, was laid to final
rest September 30ths190S, in the
Masonic Cemetery, at the ripe old
age of So years, 6 months and 25
days. The funeral was largely
attended by sorrowing relatives
sympathizing friends, Rev. HI. A.
Stowell conducting the services.
Deceased was born at Soharn,
Cambridgeshire, England, March
1, 1928. In May, 1852, he came to
America, locating first at Cincin-
natl, Ohio, where he pursued his
vocation as carpenter and builder.
After a time, he entered the Gov
erment service, and shortly after
ward was sent west and placed in
charge of the building Of Fort Ri
ley, Kansas. He came to Ironton
in 1858, when the town was yet a
city of ~ungraded streets and vacant
premises. Here he concluded to
settle down and bought several
lots, and built q house which he
occupied continuously until his
death. In 1868, he lost his first
wife-nee Mary Ann Davy-whom
he had married at Cincinnati.
: Four years later (t872) he was

AS it has been something over a
year since we have seen anything
from this point in the columns of
the REGISTER, we send you this
week a brief communication for
publication. The people out here
who take the REGISTER, think that
it is the best county paper in
Southeast Missouri, which is Ger
tainly true.
The writer visited the home of
Rev. Nash and family this week,
and while there enjoyed himself
very much. Rev. Nash has a nice
family, and is trying hard to rear
them in a proper manner.
The people of this locality can
not be excelled for their genuine
hospitality to both friends and
strangers.
MI. Conway has been hauling
hay to Ironton recently. He has
quite a lot of choice hay, which he
intends hauling to Ironton or Mid
dlebrook.
Jacob Thomlison and son, Hous-
ton. Fritz Mund, A. Conway, and
William Light recently went wolf
hunting near here, and succeeded
in killing three wolves. The
wolves are very numerous out
here, and, only a week or so ago,
they killed sixteen sheep belong
ms to William Pinkley. The
farmers here are doing all they can
to cheek the ravage of the wolves,
which has been for several years
past very discouraging to those
who tried to raise sheep.
1t is to be hoped that the wolves
may be entirely exterminated in
this part of the county.
Jacob Thomlison has purchased
a new wagon from Mr.. Alcorn.
Mr.. Alcorn puts up an extra good
wagon, and is selling quite a num-
Der of them to the farmers in this
locality.
The Kuhn brothers are baling
hay this week for Whitworth and
Duglas, who live on the farm once
owned by E.. b. Sawyer.
Henry Stricklin has been hold
ing a protracted prayer meeting
on Imboden for something over a
week, with very good results. Mr..
Stricklin is a good man, and GER
tainly has the confidence of the
people, which is very necessary
in order that a man may succeed
in any kind of a religious UNDER
taking.
Our merchant, William Light,
made a trip to Middlebrook We'd
nesday last. Mr.. Light is doing
a good business with his store here.
Charley Calvert is conducting a
%protracted meeting at the Cedar
Grove church, and it is said that
the interest is very good.
Postmaster Munger made a trip
to Ironton Thursday last.
Ed. Caldwell and w. Keathley,
of Des Arc, were out here this week,
1t is reported that a few men
have been put to work in the mines
near here, though it is generally
believed that but little will be done,
1t appears that the work is being
done more for the appearance thar
for any real tangible benifit to the
Company. REPORTER.

United States Senator Stone ar
rived in Ironton from De Soto on
the eleven o'clock train last We'd
nesday night. AT seven o'clock
next morning he and Mr.. Edgar
left in a rig for Centreyille, where
they made speeches that after
noon; then they drove to Elling-
ton, eighteen miles away, and
made talks that night; from here
they travelled on q motor car to
Leeper, where they boarded ain
Iron Mountain train for Williams
vile, going to bed there at two
o'clock in the morning. After a
few hours sleep and breakfast they
were on a motor car bound for
Greenville, where they talked to
an immense crowd that afternoon,
and then drove nearly twenty-five
miles to Piedmont whore they
made speeches at night. From
Piedmont Mr.. Edgar came homo
and Senator Stone went to Poplar
Bluff where he was billed for the
day. Verify, the life Of
a candidate for state Office is a very
strenuous one. Senator Ston e has
been going this gait since July,
and he holds up admirably. Bar

dition. The Senator will deliver
a speech in Ironton the latter part
Of the month.

Most Beautiful Girls.

John Trenholm, District Inspect
or of Cumberland Telephone Com
pany, was here last week from
Nashville, inspecting the lines
with j. c. EpIey, the manager of
this territory. Mr.. Trenholm told
Mr.. Epley, and several others, he
had never seen such beautiful
girls as those who live in Clover
port. He raved about their beauty
continually, and Mr.. Trenholm al
so charmed them, especially the
young ladies who have positions
in the Cloverport Exchange. The
recent visitor stated that he ex-
pected to come back to Cloverport
to get his bride. There are many
who are awaiting his return with
interest that they might see his
choice and have their curiosity, at
least, satisfied.

Judge Adair'S Experience

him secretly that the Standard had car
loads of the Cleveland oil held at ST
Louis. Judge Adair looked into the
matter at once and had his shipments
sent forward and ordered that further
freight not be delayed.
But the Standard kept on until they
succeeded in putting the Cleveland
Company out of business. They did so
by making the price of oil so low that
not any company, except one that
could control freight rates, could COM
pete with such price on oil. That's
what John d. Rockefellow did for Judge
Adair, made him lose his job and killed
his Company. OF course, Mr.. Rookie
fellow did not do this intentionally; the
Standard Oil Company just wanted to
sell more oil and could not do it with

and their excellent young salesman

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1908-12-02

When Judge Adair was quite a young
man, and not so settled and well salts
fed with life as he is today, he went
west. In Dallas, Texas, he located and
secured position there with a Cleve-
land Oil Company. The Standard Oil
Company also had an Office in that
territory. However, competition was
not great between the two companies
until Judge Adair got on his working
clothes. He was VIGOROUS and enthu-
siastic and did all he could to make
the Cleveland Company's sales over
balance those of the Standard, and he
did so by getting his Company to make
the price of oil lower than the Stand
ards. He got orders and orders for
oil, but it was not long until he became
alarmed, seriously alarmed because
shipments of oil failed to reach the
different towns. He hardly knew what
to do because he knew not the cause of
the situation.
The Standards manager at Dallas
and Judge Adair were personal friends
and frequently had confidential talks
1t was in one of these that Judge Adair
learned why his oil was not being sent
to its destination. The manager told
