1t has been rumored that the
Missouri Baptists have postponed
the date of the Assembly on Ar
cadia Heights. The rumor is alb
solutely without foundation and
the REGISTER is authorized to state
that the Assembly will positively
convene on Arcadia Heights next
Tuesday, July 10th, and be in ses-
sion for ten days.
Many Poplar Bluff people, MEM
bers of the Baptist denomination,
have announced their intention to
attend the Missouri Baptist AS
sembly, to be held July 20-29 on
the new grounds at Arcadia
Heights, Ironton. 1t is expected
that the Assembly will be the
greatest ever held by the Baptists
in this state.-Popldr Bluff Citizen.
Contrary to general expectations
the railroad company has refused
to put the ten-trip tickets to st,
Louis on sale at Arcadia. No
will a round-trip ticket be sold to
any point at reduced rate. In fact
the company seems to think thai
it is on top and proposes riding
rough-shod over every one. A
decidedly foolish policy, we think,
1t was unanimously agreed al
the meeting of the city council tc
enact at once an ordinance pro-
hibiting COWS with bells on them
from running at large in the city
limits. In the mean time, until the
ordinance becomes effective, own
ers of COWS are kindly requested
to take off the bells and oblige the
council, as we'll as a long suffering
public.

ably be confined to his room sew
