Rev. Humphreys is the new pre-
siding elder of the West Plains
district, M. E. courch, South, and
is a young man who will be a val
liable aid to the church in this
part of the state. Before coming
here Rev. Humphreys was sta
toned at Bertrand, De Soto and
other points in Southeast Missouri
and is a forceful minister who has
been of much benefit to the
churches in his charge.-West
Plains Gazette.
The REGISTER tailed last week
to note the successful Fall Open
ing at Lopez's. But, as those
events at the big store always
score successes, u omission was
not of great consequence. That OF
the I'd inst. was no exception to
the rule, barring the fact that the
display was larger, finer and more
complete than its predecessors and
more resembled an Opening in a
large city than that in a suburban
town. The crowds in attendance
were amply repaid for their exc
penditure of time and travel-say-
ing nothing of the elegant souven-
irs the ladies received.
Judge bearing of Potosi is con-
sidered a very strong man for the
Democrats to nominate for Judge
next year. He will carry his
county, which is 200 Republican,
by 100 majority. A prominent
Republican told us that if Ed was
nominated he would carry Wash
ington county by a good safe ma
jority. We understand that Wash
ington county Republicans would
rather vote for a Washington
county Democrat of Dearing's
makeup than a Jefferson county
Republican. Judge bearing for
circuit judge and John Bradley
for Congress will make two wheel
horses on the Democrat ticket for
next year.-Festus News.
Dave Stevenson, twenty-five
years of age, son of d. HI. Steven
son, who lives near Des Arc in
this county, was killed by coming
in contact with a live wire at
Chico, California, October 4th.
Mr.. Stevenson was working as an
electrician when the accident oc-
Cured. The remains were brought
to Des Arc and interment occurred
in the Brewington cemetery Tues
day. The deceased left Iron
county for California two years
ago and previous to that time had
taught schools in Iron and Wayne
counties and was highly regarded
by all who knew him. To the
bereaved parents and brothers
and sisters we extend sympathy.
The millinery opening at Mrs.
Woodside's last Saturday was a
success. A large and beautiful
selection of fall and winter hats
were on display and notwithstand-
ing the very inclement weather a
great number of ladies were in at
tendance and a surprisingly large
number of hats and bonnets were
sold that day. Everybody was
pleased at the exquisite display
and Mrs. Woodside and Miss
Gillian were universally compli-
mented. Mrs. Woodside an
nounces a new departure in con-
nection with her business and that
is that in future she will prepare
to do hair dressing for the ladies
something long needed in the
valley and will doubtless become
very popular.
From the Poplar Bluff Citizen
October 9th: "The Daltons, with
Harry Patton Of the Omaha
(Western League) team pitching,
humbled the champion Jonesboro
club of the Arkansas League at
Sportsman's Park Sunday after
noon before a great crowd. The
score was 3 to 2 and no contest
played in the local park this season
furnished more excitement or in
terest. The game early developed
into a pitching duel between Pat
ton and Deardoff, one of the boss
hurlers of the Arkansas organiza-
ton, and both we're at their best.
Deardoff was found for six hits
and struck out eleven batters,
while Patton was hit safely seven
times and compelled an even
dozen opponents to smite vainly
at his curves. Deardoff gave three
bases on balls, two of which de-
veloped into t%allies, and Patton
sent two opponents to first via the
free transportation route, neither
of whom scored. Each team was
guilty of one miscue."

If the REGISTER gently and cour-
teously reminds our City Fathers
and officials generally, that some
of the sidewalks on the Main street
in this town r capable of inn
provement. Especially il this
fact evidenced when the heavens
weep copiously and darkness
covers the unlighted thorough
fares. There are a dozen places
on either side of the street right in
the middle of the town where de-
pressions on the sidewalks gather
and hold ponds of water from
two to six inches in depth. In
daylight, when the pedestrian can
see them, he may ssand does shun
these al fresco footballs by taxi

of-way; but at night-well, his
