tanned for her early restoration to

accuracy"

who was placed in jail a month or
more ago on the charge of stealing
a pocket book belonging to John

filled a bond for his appearance at
the April term of circuit court.
G. G. Williamson OF Brule was a
caller at this Office last week. Mr..
Williamson has been employed in
the lead mines at lockwood for
several years past and says that
his mother will rent the farm and
move over to st. Francois county

Aug. Block of Bismarck and
George Collier of Muskogee,
Oklahoma, were callers at the
REGISTER Office last Wednesday.
Mr.. Collier, who for so many years
ran the locomotive at Graniteville
for the Syenite Company, is now
running out of Muskogee, and says

Sallie Bartsch, about fifteen
years of age, was shot in the foot
by her sister, Mary, at their home
in south Ironton Saturday night.

Mary got hold of a revolver, and

j. N. Bishop, train auditor on
the Mobile & Ohio railroad, writes
us from Alabama that he recently
had as a passenger on his train the
distinguished Congressman, R. P.
Hobson, of Merrimac fame, and
encloses us a train check with the

he stays down there long enough

vote.
In the notice of the County
Graduation exercises by Superin-
tendent Burnham in our last
weeks paper the printer mad
vertantly omitted the statement
that copies for the p%enmanship
contest would be furnished by
Rev. Fuller Swift. 1t was simply
an scout" that all printers will
make. But no harm done. Re-
member, Mr.. Swift will furnish the
copies in the penmanship con-
test.
The many friends of Attorney
D. L. Rivers, of Elvins, will re-
greet very much to learn of his
serious illness this week. Mr..
Rivers has been in very poor
health for several days and on
Tuesday of this week his physi-
clan announced that he had pneu-
monia. Although his condition is
regarded as being very critical,
his physician and relatives have
hopes for his recovery. -Farming-

Just a word to "Schoolboy:"
Calling names is not argument,
nor a fact be overcome by at
tempted criticism. While our
Lesterville correspondent may
make a mistake on rare occasion
even the editor is not free from
that fallibility--there is no reason
to doubt his will to tell the truth
fairly and impartially. His letters
are always interesting, and the
REGISTER hopes he will not
"weary in well-doing."
Senator O. M. Buford Of Filing
ton is here this week looking after
his business interests. The Sena-
tor will be a candidate to succeed
himself in the State Senate this
year, and will most likely have no
opponent in the primary for the
Democratic nomination. This
would be very pleasing to his
many friends both at home and
throughout the district and a very
deserving endorsement Of his past
