perity was short-lived and his
property was not long in getting
away ffom him. About fifteen
years ago he moved to st. Louis
where he has since made his home.
The deceased was about seventy
years of age.
Hon. o. L. Munger of Wayne
county was in this city this week
and made this Office a pleasant
call. In conversation with the
d. N. Mr. Munger stated that in all
probability he would be a candi-
date for the Democratic nominal
ton for congress, provided that
one other gentleman in the district
did not enter the ring. While Mr..
Munger would not admit it, it is
understood that this other GENTLE
man is none other than Mr.. George
T. Lee of Carter county. The
Hon. John L. Bradley of St.
Francois county claims to have
the nomination "cinched" so
what's the use with the election
over a year off.-Frederickto.on
Democrat eps.
Married-At Tacoma, Wash, in
the First Baptist Church, on We'd
nesday, September 22d, 1909, Mr..
Barton Way Sawyer, of Seattle,
and Miss Blanche Fletcher, of Ar
cadia, Mo.
The REGISTER congratulates Mr..
Sawyer-not perfunctorily, but
heartily-for he has drawn a prize
in the matrimonial lottery. The
wedding was something of a sur
prise to the home folks here, for
it had been understood that it was
not to take place for several
months. The contracting parties
became acquainted at Poplar Bluff
about two years ago, where they
were engaged in clerical work, and
casual friendship in due course
ripened into the warmer passion.
His work concluded there, he went
out to Seattle, about a year ago.
Some two weeks ago, Miss
Blanche and her sister, Miss Lena,
went to the Alaska Yukon Ex-
position-and behold the result!
An end uncontemplated, but, l
hope and believe, fraught with
happiness to the bride and groom
for all the years to come.
Bro. Swift of the arcadia Enter
prise called at our Office last Thurs
day while in town. He was here
to present the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing Arcadia the place for the AS
semblies of the M. E. Church,
South. He showed some fine
views of the valley. He says
further that he is going to run a
clean newspaper and stop some of
the fighting that has been going
on. Southeast Missouri is coming
to the front very rapidly. Her
farming, mineral and scenery are
being taken advantage of. The
Baptists have purchased a site
near Arcadia for a place to hold
it's summer meetings; the M. E.
Church, South, is on a deal for a
similar tract near the same place
and now the M. E. Church is going
to investigate and locate some
whore near that place, probably at
Observation-Disclosures Tribune.
Hail Fuller Swift! The an
nouncement that the Enterprise is
to be 4 ssclean" sheet under his
management means that that
paper is no longer to be controlled
by the constituencies and menda-
cious bunch who have dominated
it's policies the past five years.
With one accord the good people
of Iron county acclaim, "Hail
Fuller Swift"
From the st. Louis Mirror I:
ELSEWHERE in this issue appears
an advertisement of Arcadia
Heights, which has been described
several times before in these col
umns. 1t is needless to say that
the place is all that the advertise
ment represents it. Indeed, de-
scription of the beauties of this
mountain resort is impossible. 1t
is a most romantic spot. There
are beauties of mountain and
glen, of wood and water. Added
TO this are the historic memories
attaching to the place. On the
spur of a mountain reaching out
into a valley has been inaugurated
a Bungalow town. This town is
to be composed only of select peo-
Eple. The moral and social atmos-
phere of the place is to be as clean
as the physical atmosphere. The
place is beautifully laid out. The
lots are spacious enough for Sc
clusion, and small enough for
nelghborliness. Several of the
Missouri churches have estab-
lished here their meeting places
for annual gatherings. The AS
sembly grounds are commodious.
There is a beautiful lake. And
though the town be upon a high
hill, each house has water, piped
from an ~artesian well. In July
and August people at Arcadia
Heights had to sleep under
blankets, while people in St.
Louis were sweltering sleepless.
This only two and a half hours
from the city, on the Iron Noun
tain, at Ironton, Mo. And the
mosquito is unknown there. The
Methodists are expanding $4,000
in the improving of their grounds.
The Presbyterians are doing or
have mostly done the same. The
place is very much alive. Three
