Ed. Register-For some time | had
noticed a large blue mark across
the face of the IRON COUNTY REG
lister which appeared to have
been made by some clumsy am
ateur taking his first lessons in
painting. only gave the blurring
of the paper a passing notice and
thought | would soon be over to the
city located at the foot of the big
hill and arrange for this young man
to have other material on which
to use his pencil; and the time
passed swiftly and 10, and behold,
the REGISTER came not but made
default, and the blur and the paper
disappeared as in a mist and |
wondered the cause thereof. |
went straightway unto the high
priest who keeps the keys, ticks
the stamps and distributes cam
paign funds for the standpatters,
and there | had information and
was caused to be informed that
there had been a decree in the con-
clave of the Great Council pro-
hibiting and perpetually enjoining
Uncle Sam from carrying and de-
livering unto lawyers, doctors,
preachers, as we'll as a few farmers
and other laymen, periodicals and
newspapers unless they had first
paid into the tills of the printer
money and other valuable ex-
changes for the same. When |
heard this, my eyes were opened
and when | looked afar off | could
see, and | came to my understand
ing. | knew then, Mr.. Editor,
that those arbitrators had taken
advantage of the fraternity and
its friends who had been taking
advantage of the generosity of the
the printers and getting their paper
free, and that the law was not OF
your making; for the printer, and
especially the editor of the REG
lister, is not editing a paper sole
ly for money or in the interest OF
the monied classes, but for the
more noble and glorious purpose
OF elevating those with whom the
paper comes in contact to a higher
plane.
The printer derives enough
pleasure from the praise he re-
ceives from his constituents OF
patrons to more than pay him fol
the expense and time of collecting
and furnishing the news; and
when he has run his race and
finished his course, he has the as
surance that henceforth there is 3
crown laid up for him and an I'M
furnished reputation which viii
descend to his heirs.
l am herewith enclosing my
personal check on the Reynolds
County Bank for the sum of So
which I hope will be sufficient tc

The Fair of Pennington will be
held this year September 21-24.
1t will be a great Fair from every
standpoint. The Association has
spent several thousand dollars inn
proving the grounds and now
everything is in fine shape.
There will be daily band con-
certs, daily performances by these
great high school horses, KIM
Golden and Kind Sutton, various
shows on the pike and the stock
shows will be of the highest class.
1t is now thought that the races
will be the best ever seen in
Southeast Missouri. There are
five Fairs in the racing circuit OF
this district and the liberal purses
have attracted horsemen from all
over the country. The racing stock
that has been entered is of a class
to insure good races and there are
very few people who do not en-

under a fat rate. eliminating the
proposition for a sliding scale, which
had been vigorously fought for. This
is a reafIirmation of last years stand
