Mrs. Maggie Peterman, abstract
or for LAWN and Jacobmeyer and
one of the most expert in her line
in this part of Missouri, was mar
ried Christmas day at Jackson,
Mo-, to Arthur I. Brewster, a
young attorney of Hillsboro. The
wedding took place at the home of
the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Linus Sanford. News of this we'd
ding will come as great surprise
to many Poplar Bluff persons, the
bride having formed number of
close friendships and many ac-
quaintanceships during her resi-
dence here of about one year. She
has been staying at the residence
of Mrs. j. V. Porter, 521 North
Main street. The bride is a cousin
of Mrs. j. G. Ingham, wife of the
rector of the Episcopal church, and
also cousin of H. w. Ferguson.
She has one young son, who has
made several visits to Poplar Bluff
in the company of his grandmoth-
er, Mrs. Sanford, with whom he
has made his home. Mr.. Brewster
is interested heavily in real estate
and has been compelled to make
frequent visits to the seat of Butler
county. He had become acquaint-
ed with Mrs. Peterman several
years ago and their friendship
rapidly developed into love while
in Poplar Bluff, their business
having brought them together a
great deal here. He paid ardent
court and won her hand. The
bride-to-be left here last Wednes-
day to go to her parents home to
make preparations for the we'd
ding, which was attended only
by relatives and most intimate
friends. The firm of LAWN and
Jacobmeyer telegraphed felicita-
tions as did several other Poplar
Blufians.-PopIar Bluff Citizen Dem

soon melted, except on northern
hillsides and in shady places. The
frequent alternate freezing and
thawing of the soil that prevailed
during most of the month no doubt
/ caused much damage in wheat

On the evening of Thursday,
22d instant, Judge J.. o. Scott
made mistake that came very
near costing him the loss of his
store house and the stock of mer-
chandise it contains. He lighted
his pipe and threw the still blazing
match under the stove thinking
that the box beneath the stove had
been filed with sand. Instead Of
that it contained sawdust. He then
went to his dwelling house about
80 yards distant. and thought no
more Of the matter. Some time
afterward, Ira Carl and Walter
May berry, who with others, were
at Scott's house chanced to 60 out
and discovered that the floor un-
derneath the stove was burning
vigorously and that it was only
by the prompt and united exer-
tions of all present that the build
ing and its contents were saved.
Had the fire not been discovered
until fifteen minutes later, it would
have gained SO much headway
that it could not have been ex-
Itinguished. R. E.

President Winston WhitwOrth.

The REGISTER is called upo to
convey the mournful intelligence
of the death of most estimable
citizen and esteemed neighbor and
friend-President Winston Whit
worth. The announcement came
from st. Louis to his friends here
Monday afternoon. Deceased had
suffered from splenetic affection
for several months, and last week,
as a last resort, was conveyed to
the city for special diagnosis, and,
if deemed necessary, to submit to
a surgical operation. After ex-
animation, it was determined that
the only relief possible was
through the surgeons knife.
When informed of the physicians
finding, the patient accepted, rath-
er hopefully than otherwise, the
inevitable, and agreed to undergo
the ordeal. Monday morning at
ten o'clock the operation was ex-
ecuted, and in less than an hour
later the subject gained relief from
suffering. His spirit had passed
from its fleshy temple into that
spiritual abode eternal in the
heavens. The DEGREES of Fate are
beyond human comprehension.
Six short months ago Mr.. Whit
worth was clothed in exceptional
strength and vigor. Health
Iabounded in him. and promised
long lease or life. Physically
courageous, he was tender hearted
as child; his geniality brought
sunshine with his presence, and he
was loyal to his friends and true to
his convictions; scorned a lie and
looked you straight in the eyes.
The grim reaper has been busy
with my older friends during the
decade just ended; the ranks of
comradeship are ever thinning and
closing, and many cherished
form has vanished form my ken;
but no vacancy appeals to me
more strongly than that left by the
passing of President Winston
Whitworth. May every Joy of
The Promise be his!
Mr.. Whitworth was aged 81
years, 10 months and six days.
The funeral occurs from Fort Hill
church this Wednesday, after
noon at 2:30 o'clock and interment
will be made in the Masonic cem-
! etery.

and was taken before our county
court and pronounced a fit subject
for the asylum where, our sheriff,
John [. Marshall, will accompany
him next Monday, Jauunry I'd,

be taken into custody when they
get to said asylum. But hope
John will return as I believe we

cured of all symptoms of insanity.

A religious census of Ironton
and Arcadia and part of the
suburbs shows a population of
1910 white and colored. Church
members, white and colored, 443 +;
white, 364; colored, 70. Denomi-
nationally they stand: Catholic, ,S5;
Methodist, South, "a, twelve hold
ing membership at other places !;
Missionary Baptist, 102 and other
Baptists, 81 of whom hold mem :
bership at other places; Presbyte-
rian, 45; Episcopal, 35; Lutheran,
32 all in Pilot Knob; Christian, IL
all of whom hold membership at
other places, there being no church
of their faith in the valley. OF the
colored population who have
church membership the 70 are di-
vided between the Methodist and
the A. M. E. and the Baptist. The
above figures do not .include the
regular residents at Arcadia Col
lege which lumber $50, and in
crease the Catholic church mem
bership to 235, and the total popu-
lationSto about 1920 These figures
do not include Pilot Knob. The
greatest surprise that this census
reveals to us is that there are more
people, including children, that do
not belong to any church than
that belong to all the churches to-
gether. 1t is not claimed that these
figures are exact but approximate
lily correct as given by persons at
the homes visited.
