cold in August as was recorded
last week. Last Wednesday the
thermometer went to 40. On Au-
gust %, 1906, a similar record was
made.
Mrs. Sheeks and children of
Corning, Ark, are spending the
month at Mrs. B~radley's. They
are we'll pleased with the valley
as who is not-and promise a
number of visitors from Corning
next summer if accommodations
can be secured.
MI. Percy, the hardware man,
has a magnificent specimen of
gray granite from his farm on
Crane Pond, south of Ironton.
There is a whole mountain of it,
he says. We don't know any
thing about granite, but this spec
linen certainly looks good to us.
w. H. Crumb was here last week
and made arrangements to have
Shepherd Mountain enclosed with
a wire fence. A portion of the
summit, we are told, will be cleared
shortly for the purpose of planting
an orchard. 1t has long been the
opinion that it is an ideal place
for an orchard.
The Catholic young men and
ladies of Graniteville will give an

A letter from DR.. w. G. Patton,
who has been in very poor health
for several months past, informs
us that while his present condi-
ton is not what might be termed
rugged, still, he is much improved
and has hopes for further improve
ment. The Dr.'s Iron county
friends will be glad to hear this.
Our most genial and accommo-
dating station agent, MI. Chas. E.
Downey, is taking a two weeks
vacation-at the company's ex-
%pense-in accordance with a GUS
tom recently put in force on the
Missouri Pacific system. Charlie
is we'll entitled to the rest. The
railroad no where has a more ef-
f1cient or faithful man than he is.
Elsewhere we reproduce from
the Poplar Bluff Citizen Democrat
an account of the suicide of Jack
Semands,a young man we'll known
in the valley, and who, about five
years ago, resided in Ironton with
his parents. His father, Frank
Semands, is a we'll known railroad
conductor, who formerly lived at
Des Arc in this county. The be-
reaved have much sympathy in
their sorrow.
Mrs. w. j. Coleman, of Cotulla,
Texas, who has been visiting rel
atives in Sabula the past two
months, is spending few days in
Ironton as the guest of Mrs. Mary
Clark. Mrs. Coleman was a caller
at the REGISTER office Monday,
She tells us that she likes Texas
very we'll in winter, but it gets too
awfully hot in summer. MI. Cole.

The people who recently pur-
chased the Pilot Knob property
have been testing the boiler at the
washer the past week, and given
other evidence of getting ready
for work. The inclines have been
measured to ascertain the amount
of rails and rope needed to operate
the tracks on the hill. An inform
ant tells us that work will COM
mence in the cuts on the hill as
soon as things can be placed in
shape.
Rev. G. E. Edwards returned
last week from a visit with rela.
tives in New Jersey, and services
were held in the Presbyterian
church Sunday for the first time
this month. The church is great
ly improved by the interior deco
rations just made. The congrega'
ton last Sunday morning greatly
enjoyed the sacred duet SO kindly
given by two young ladies of the
First Presbyterian church of st
Louis.
