August Winkler, jeweler of this
CITY, is now figuring with the Iron
Mountain with a view to buying
the old H. D. Williams building
at South Fifth street and Hendere
son avenue. The Van Noy res
taurant brick structure was recent
~ bought by Mr.. Winkler.-Pop-
Tar Bluff Republican.
Recorder Hawkins issued the
following marriage licenses the
past week:
Perry Allen and Eva Brewer.
James Edmonds and Annie Rus
sell.
Pearl Mayberry and Carrie
Drell.
II. E. Thomlinson and Ada Saw
age.
Ed. Fairchild was home for a
day last week. He had just re-
ceived a check for a months sala-
~ from his employers, the Pull
man Company, as a Christmas
present, because of the fact that
not a single complaint had been
filed against him the past year.
This is the third year Ed has made
this record.
There were rumors in town Sun
day morning of a murder at a
dance at Hogan the night before.
The story proved to be without
foundation, and is said to have
originated from a knock-down
that took place on Crane Pond
Christmas night. Both bellige-
rents attended church the follow
ing Sunday, SOFT is reasonable to
suppose that neither was very
badly injured.
Mrs. Julia Clarkson, of Ironton,
widow of the late DR.. David Clark.
son, of Annapolis, was married in
st. Louis last Thursday to Joseph
E. Staph. The groom is a young
man, rs years of age. The couple
first met when Staph visited IRON
ton a couple of months ago as an
advance agent for a show. 1t
seemed to be a case of Glove at
first sight" The REGISTER ex-
tends best wishes.
Mrs. Phoebe Farmer has been
suffering from an unusual ailment
the past month and MORE. On
Thanksgiving day what she
thought was a chicken bone lodg-
ed in her throat and the swallow
ing of anything has been attended
by the greatest pain ever since.
The physicians have since deter
mined that no bone lodged in the
throat, but that an ulcer has occa-
stoned all the trouble. Mrs. Par
mer is some better now, and we
hopesoon to announce her COM
plete restoration.
A we'll known farmer says
"Sprinkle sulphur on your barn
floor and through your corr as you
gather it, and there will not be q
rat or mouse to bother. l have
some old corn in my crib at pres
emit and not q rat or mouse can be
found. In stacking hay or oats
sprinkle a little on the ground and
through each of the loads, and my
word for it, rats or mice can't stay
there. A pound of sulphur will be
sufficient to preserve a large barn
of corn and is good for stock and
will not hurt the corn for bread"
Christmas night will long be
held in remembrance by the chill
dren of Arcadia. The general
merriment of the grown ups and
peals of childish laughter, that in
terspersed the games and marches,
rewarded generous hearted
Mrs. Finnimore for the surrender of
the first floor of her hotel, also, the
committee, E. A. Meyer and Louis
for the ample treat, and Mr..
Robert Knapp, general champion
If the children. After an hour of
'ollicking fun, tn, Juveniles, with
! large sprinkle of adults, all
marched to the dining ROOM,
where the dazzling, revolving tree,
lisbursing sweet music in it's rev.
buttons, held them entranced.
No stiff ceremonies marred this
occasion, but impromp-
speeches, recitations and songs
gave all a "make me a child again
ust for tonight" look. From be-
ginning to end it was Characters
lie of the spirit-"Peaee on earth,
rood will toward men,"
From The Fredericktown Demo-
rat News: "The miserable train SER
rice on the Angel Maker continues.
The passenger trains are filthy and
disease breeders and the local
service is as bad as it ever
vas. A gentleman said to the
