The proceedings of the Wednes-
day evenings meeting of the Iron
Mountain Presbytery we're of I'M
usual interest. "The Voice of the
Women" was finely presented to
an appreciative audience. But to
whom is not the voice of woman a
sound sweeter than the songs of
the birds or bells in tune?

The REGISTER extends it's sim
cere sympathy to it's good friend,
DR.. j. w. Wick, in the death OF
his mother, which occurred in st.
Louis, April 10th. The deceased
was SO years of age and always
enjoyed excellent health up to a
short time before her demise. The
remains were taken to Pittsburg,
Pa, for interment. DR.. and Mrs.
Wick were in Ironton last Satur-
day, having just returned from the
funeral.
Mr.. VIM. A. Thompson of
Brule announces this week as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for County Judge of
the Western District of Iron coun-
ty. Mr.. Thompson is a loyal
Democrat, has been a resident OF
the county all his life, and is
we'll known to the people whom
he seeks to serve. We have no
doubt that if he is nominated and
elected that he will at all times
be found giving careful attention
to the duties of his Office.
County Clerk Reyburn asks us
to state that the increase in the
valuation of VIM. R. Edgar's prop
erty--from S2750 to 81, 000-as pub
lished last week, was an error. In
making his returns to the Asses
sor last summer, Mr.. Edgar, of his
own motion, increased the assess
ment to $4,000, but, in some way.
| the increase was overlooked in
making up the assessors book ;
hence the increase by the board,
when it had really been made by
Mr.. Edgar a year previous.
A crowded house was at the
Academy of Music Monday eve
ming to witness the commence

pupils were generally compliment
ed. The diplomas were presented
by w. A. Gunnell, of the De Soto
colored school, who made a very
appropriate talk. The graduates
were: Benz. F. Russell, Willie Jar
rett, Mildred, Ruth and Ethel Ar
nett; Hazel Armstrong and Mary
Bradshaw.
