To our very good friend, August
Winkler, of Poplar Bluff, at pres
ent soiourning in Hot Springs,
we are indebted for a very fine
box of cigars which arrived in last
Fridays mail. August travels
around quite a lot, but he rarely
makes a journey that he doesn't
remember the REGISTER. May
his shadow never grow lessl
A half dozen or more of the
faithful" had a meeting in IRON
ton last Saturday afternoon-pre-
sumably for the purpose of nam
ing the ticket for the Iron county
Republicans. Proceedings have
not been made public, but it is
stated that among the candidates
will be: W. I. Gay, presiding
Judge; Jos. Forshee, circuit clerk;
Jas. G. Newman, county clerk.
A young man by the name of
Aitrup, who lives on the Stun
baugh place, near Arcadia, was
quite badly hurt last Friday even
ing. Altrup was riding a blind
horse that suddenly took fright
and dashed against a telegraph
pole throwing the rider to the
ground and badly bruising and
decorating him. The animal was
SO badly injured that it had to be
killed.

The wolves have given the
farmers no little trouble and an
noyance down on Marble Creek
the past few months, and an
organization is being formed
which has for it's purpose the ok
termination of the pests. MI.
James A. Smith and a number of
his neighbors have signed a paper
each one obligating himself to pay
twenty-five cents for every wolf
scalp obtained in that community.
There are at present about fifteen
names appended to the paper, and
it is thought that there will be at
least that many more signatures.
In that event the hunter will get
$3.50 for every scalp he secures.
The paper is now at County
Clerk Reyburn's Office where those
who have not yet had the opportu-
nifty and wish to put their names
thereto can do SO.
Rev A. S. Cocker, pastor of the
Taylor avenue Methodist church
of Flat River, and Mrs. jamie
Smythe of Bonnie Terre, were
quietly married Wednesday after
noon by Rev. H. P. Grove, Pre-
siding Elder, at the latter's home
in Pennington. Although the
couple carried cut their plan to
make the wedding a very quiet af-
fair, it vas in no sense a surprise
to their close friends. Rev. and
Mrs. Cocker returned to Flat River
Wednesday afternoon and took
up their residencein the parsonage.
They are receiving the hearty con-
gratulations of their many friends.
A crowd of about twenty persons,
most of whom were members OF
Mr.. Coker's church, gathered at
the parsonage Wednesday night
and gave the newly-weds a good
natured charivari. They sang
several songs appropriate to the
occasion and we're welcomed by
Rev. Cocker who thanked his callers
for their congratulations and ex-
tended an invitation for them to
renew their visit Lead Belt NeaVs.
