Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1908-01-23

no applicant for the place, in the
opinion of the court, possessed of
the qualifications required by law,
the court made no appointment.
The county road fund of this
county will not permit of a very
liberal allowance should the court
decide to appoint a Highway En-
gineer.-Potosi Independent.
Tuesday one of the local freight
was taken off the road, and
now we have a local freight train
south one day and north the next.
The panic still seems to be here.
1t is rumored that the company
contemplates taking two more pas
senger trains off the road-No. %,
south bound, due here at $3.50 P.
and No. 26, north bound due
here at 9:04 A. M. That would
practically leave Ironten without
train service.
Down in Dunklin county they
have local option. The following
is reproduced from the Maiden
Merit: els there a person in Mall
den who cares enough about the
local option to interest himself in
the cause, and find out where sew
eral of our young boys get intoxi-
cants that make thcm drunk?
Tuesday night, as well as previous
times, we have noticed boys about
twelve and fourteen years of age so
drunk they could hardly walk"
Well, we've lived in Iron county,
with saloons, almost fifty years,
but we never saw such scenes as
r here portrayed in "dry"Dunk-
lin.
We have mailed statements to a
number of our subscribers who
are in arrears as much as a year;
all will be notified by the end of
the week. We trust to have prompt
responses. The REGISTER has
never followed the practice of
Cumming" its subscribers through
the paper and would not do so
now we're the conditions other
wise. The postal department. has
made the rule, however, and we
must abide by it. So, if you are
as much as twelve months delin-
quent, please pay at once. Other
wise we will have to take your
name from the list. That's what
the postal law says.
Rev. Geo. Guirey, D. D., of Car
linville, ILL.,, has been preaching
for the Baptist Church of Ironton,
since the first OF this month, with
great acceptance, and last Sunday,
at the close of the morning service,
the Church extended a call to the
gentleman to become it's pastor.
We understand the call has been
accepted and Mr.. Guirey will enter
at once upon his duties. He was
reared in Missouri, though he is
practically an Eastern man, hav-
ing served several strong churches
in New England. Rev. Guirey
comes to Ironton with a ripe expe-
rience, and we trust his passionate
here will prove a success.
The REGISTER acknowledges a
very pleasant call last Wednes-
day afternoon from Rev. j. M.
Huber of Advance, Mo, accompa-
MED by his sister, Miss Marie, Of
ST. Louis, and Miss B. Page, Of
Cape Girardeau. Father Huber is
ever jolly, jovial and genial, and
we are always glad to see him.
Since the reverend gentleman left
Arcadia a couple of years ago, he
has built a church at Advance, in
Stoddard county, and one at Glen
non, in Bollinger county. At the
latter place he is just completing
a nine-room parochial residence,
and will make his home there in
the near future.
In regard to the present road
law, the Poplar Bluff Citizen says
SIN an interview with Judge BYRD
Duncan, president of the county
court recently, information was
elucidated to the effect that the
new road law which creates a new
county Office to be known rs coun-
ty highway engineer is being in
vestigated. 1t was passed without
the old law having been repealed
by the legislature, thus leaving
both laws on the statute books
The appointment of this new Off
Ger was at first supposed to b
mandatory with the court at thu
first meeting in January, as thu
new law specified such procedure
but it was passed over. Judg'
Duncan states that the law is be
ing investigated and that it is tn,
sentiment of the court to carry on
the intentions of the Legislature
whether the law is absolutely clea
or not, The matter will be take
up at the February term"
