We have been having very
warm, dry weather but the rain
last night brought a delightful
change of temperature and revived
the thirsty plants and flowers.
The thermometer last week reg

that of midsummer but the chang

sound of dropping nuts remind us
of the near approch of autumn.

here has been reared and will be

that pleases it and the people who

to complain.
The good people of Iron county,
among whom | have many warm
friends, would have just right to

die in your county affairs. This |
disclaim any thought of trying to
do. l am trying hard to build up
in this, your neighboring county,
a manufacturing institution of
which all Southeast Missouri may
some day be proud, and l desire
the cooperation and friendship of
your good people, and certainly
have no time to mix up in petty
quarrels pertaining to any COM
munity or neighborhood.

disassociate my name with this af-
fair, in which l have not the
slightest interest, and l feel that l
do not have to ask you to be just.
am sure that your reputation for
fairness, gained from long years
of faithful work in the cause of
justice and right, will not suffer in
this instance, and that | will have
no further cause for complaint
from your quarter.
For some time past have been
considering the advisabiiity of
building for myself a home in
your healthful locality, and l
should regret exceedingly if my
letter to Judge Schmidt should in
any way injure any of the good
people of your county.
am very sorry, Mr.. AXE, that
it is necessary for me to bore you
with such a lengthy letter, and if |
had little time I would boil this
down and re-write, so as not to
take up so much of your valuable
time, but as I am to leave the city
on the train that is to arrive in a

go over it. Knowing you as l feel

From Mr.. Dalton.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, Sept. 20, 'O8.
Mr.. AXE, Ironton, Mo-:
Dear Sir-I was greatly sur
prised to find my name mentioned
in the two Iron county papers in
connection with some dispute
growing out of the purchase of an
adding machine.
At first l was disposed to take
exception to the manner in which
you refer to me in connection with
this affair, but on second thought
| have reached the conclusion that
you are not so much to blame, aft
er all, as you are no doubt of the
opinion that my personal letter to
Judge Schmidt was written for the
purpose for which it has since been
used.
Under these circumstances, Mr..
Axe, 1 feel that an explanation is
due you, and that you will, after
receiving this explanation, deal
with me in the same spirit of fair
ness that has characterized you
and your paper during all the long
years in which you have fought
for the building up of Southeast
Missouri, and especially that por-
ton of Southeast Missouri in
which you live.
had no thought when wrote
the letter to Judge Schmidt that it
would be published and used for
campaign purposes against some
of your county officials. 1 GER
tainly have no quarrel with any OF
the officials of your county.
It is true that spent considera-
BILE time in the early part of this
year trying to convince your coun-
ty court that the best machine for
them to buy was the "Dalton, "but
the court, or at least a majority,
could not see the matter my way,
and lost the sale, and considered
the incident closed.
However, while I was there
noticed decided leaning on the
part of some of the county officials
| in favor of the 81 key machines,
and as at that time had a num-
ber of new machines of both Bur-
roughs and Universal make, Ipro-
posed to at least two of the judges
to sell them either make at $4,000
less than the price asked by the
manufacturer This could well
afford to do, owing to the fact that
these machines had been traded to
me by the owners in part payment
for the Dalton. I was in q posi-
ton then, as I am now, to deliver
machines OF either make, as new
or newer than the ones then on
trial In the courthouse, at the pri-
ces named, and I made the price
in absolute good faith, hoping to
receive the order.
At that time had just taken
from the ParagOuld Trust Co., OF
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1908-10-01

Paragould, Ark, as part payment
for a Dalton a No. 5 Universal that
had not been in use to exceed two
weeks; in fact, this machine had
not used first roll of paper. This
machine | sold to the Chickasaw
Lumber Co., of Blythesville, Ark.
I also had at that time a No. 9
Burroughs, serial number 1903, $50,
which | had taken in exchange for
a Dalton from the Byrd Cotton
Company, of Little Rock, Ark.
This machine have since sold to
the U. S. Cooperage & Handle Co.,
of Maiden, Mo. l have since tax
en- in exchange number of ma
chimes of all the leading makes
now on the market, and l am glad
to sell these machines at prices
ranging from S95 to $3.50. These
last, of course, are second hand
machines and could not be classed
as new. l took on the 18th of this
month from the Halliday Milling
Co., of Cairo, Ills, a No. 8 Bur-
roughs, serial number, 106, 1866.
At this moment the Burroughs Co.
has on trial in the city of Cairo
machines with a serial number as
low as 100000. One of these is
now in the courthouse at Cairo and
they call it brand new. If num-
bers as low as 100000 are brand
new in the hands of the makers,
surely 1O6, 1866 should be classed as
new, even if it has been traded to
our company in part payment fol-
Dalton.
But, Mr.. AXE, all this should
have nothing to do with the poll
tics of your county. l do not know
the judges except as I met them in
this one business transaction.
They certainly treated me with
due courtesy when l was before
them, and have no quarrel with
them, nor do l wish in any way to
meddle with the politics of a
neighboring county. Mr.. Joe Rey-
burn and I were boyhood friends,
and l certainly have no desire to
injure him politically or otherwise,
The letter which l wrote to Judge
Schmidt was written in the ordi-
nary course of business in answer
to an inquiry from him as to the
proposition l made to your county
at the time the adding machine
question was pending and l had
no idea that it would be published
and used as a campaign docu-
ment.
The court, in my judgment, had
the right to buy an adding ma
chine from whomsoever they de-
sired, and they exercised this
right. I am sorry, of course, that
could not sell my machine to
next door neighbors and it is just
a little hard for me to understand
why, as | think we have the best
and most practical machine in the
world for just the class of business
with which counties have to deal,
The court has exercised It's pre-
'rogative and bought the machine

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Each recurring attack of rheu-
matism makes the disease harder
to control, but the fact that it is
not in itself dangerous causes peo-
pie to neglect it, awaiting a change
or a settled condition of the wealth
er for relief. 1t is often only after
the disease has become so serious
as to interfere with business that
the sufferer will seek more than
temporary relief. Chamberlain's g
Liniment is remedy for rheu-
matism which anyone can apply.
1t not only gives prompt relief from
pain, but in a large majority oi
cases it brings about permanent
results. The first application will
surprise and delight you as imme-
diate reliefis almost sure to follow.

Good cooking Is rapidly becoming

food for the world decide the health Of
the world. You have only to go on
some errand amid the hotels of the
United States and Great Britain to ap-
preciate the fact that vast multitude
of the human race are slaughtered by
incompetent cookery. Though a young
woman may have taken lessons in
music, and may have taken lessons In
painting, and lessons In astronomy,
she is not we'll educated unless she
has taken lessons in dough.
