The regulars come back with the
statement that 1t is a deep laid plot
of the insurgents, who hope in this
way to sap their vitality so that they
can no longer continue the fight. OF
course Uncle Joe's attention was called
to the hookworm report. He lighted

Baby Marjory.

AT 1870 o'clock p. NJ, Wednes-
day, July g., 1910, the spirit of
Marjory Richmond, infant daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll York,
took flight into realms eternal,
and her little body was laid to
rest the succeeding afternoon.
How diminutive the white casket
which enclosed so much of the
home, sanctiied by a love greater
than one can express and pure as
that of angels! Although the
earth knew her presence but two
short years, not all of time and
circumstance can obliterate the
presence of her being. The music
of her baby voice is stilled; the
wondering eyes are closed; the
little busy hands lie folded in
peace. Yet all these as in life are
to the sorrowing household ever
present. Memory, though it
chastens, soothes through the love
it cherishes, while Faith cheers
with the thought that there is no
death-only change. May this
faith strengthen the bereaved ones
and comfort them with the as
surance that each passing day but
brings them nearer the heavenly
home of the dear one "gone be-
fore"

The REGISTER notes with great
pleasure the goodwill now being
manifested by the railway people
toward the development of this
section especially of Arcadia
Valley as a suburban resort for
st. Louisans. The train service
has been bettered; booklets and
circulars, finely illustrated, are
being printed and circulated, free,
by the Immigration Department of
the Railway; and in various other
ways the advantages of this por-
ton of the Ozark country are
made manifest to the world. For
these favors our citizens feel them
selves beholden to the manage
ment of Missouri's greatest
thoroughfare, and will not fail to
respond, where they can. Some
months since it was suggested by
a railroad official that a central
station for the Valley be built on
the top of the grade between Iron
ton and Arcadia, at which all pas
senger trains should be halted for
the accommodation of the travel
ing public-with stations for the
local trains at Pilot Knob and Ar
cadia. We we're told to 'get to-
gether," and that desirable condi-
ton is now as nearly obtained as
is possible for any project on this
sphere of iangling thought, in
terest and purpose. Ironton joins
hands with it's neighbors on the
north and south, and asks for
nothing that will not be advanta-
geous to us all, and l am sur this
feeling is reciprocated. Under the
proposed arrangement Arcadia
will remain in possession of it's
present travelling accommodations,
while Pilot Knob will be replaced
on the railway map. In addition,
every passenger train on the road
will be available to all of US.
Surely this is a contamination de-
voutly to be wished. Why not
Ironton in a modest way-for we
are not blessed with great wealth
prove its good will to the object
desired by a subscription of, say,
$500 toward the erection of the
proposed central station? This
would, at least, show that we
stand ready to grasp hands with
our outside friends.
