Twenty Years Ago.

Ed. Register-While housed in

have been looking over an old

We see in this paper the names of
our many friends and neighbors
that lived among us in those days.
Twenty years ago the old times
writer, T. P. Russell, whose letters
were always interesting to the
readers of the REGISTER, and
other writer's that we feel sorry to
say r gone, no more to meet us
here. The copy above referred to
was at the time of it's publication
more interesting to its readers than
any paper in the county, as it was
just after the Democratic primary
election and those who ran in the
race can tell US better how they
felt than we can. There were
twenty-seven in the race and out
of that number, sixteen of them
have gone to. their reward. We
hope they are at rest. Out of the
eleven that were elected, only four
are living. May they live for God,
and to a good old age. Mr.. Mann
Ringo, a young man at that time,
was at the head of the list for rep
resentative and served his county
as such for two terms, and since
that time has been connected with
the Iron County Bank. We have
never known a fault against his
character. We believe these men
filed each respective Office we'll,
and we are proud to say, while
they have done their best, we have
just as good in Office now that will
do the same. When | look back
over those years I think of the
words of Job, shut man dieth

Arcadia Country Club Gets
Famous "Shut-In.'
tFrom sunday's Globe- Democrat

(From Sundays Globe-Democrat.l
The lannon's "Shut-In" in the
Ozarks, near Arcadia, Mo-, has
been given to the Arcadia Coun-
try Club, the deed of gift being
fled in Ironton yesterday. The
transfer was made by the Big
Muddy Coal and Mining Company
through its president, o. L. CARR.
son of ST. Louis, to John H. Cur
ran, president of the Country
Club.
MI. Garrison said that his COM
pany had made the donation to
the club, believing it would ma
terially aid the organization in es-
tablishing a high-class summer re-
sort in the Ozarks, and place Mis-
souri, in the list of states with at
tractive recreation places. The
"Shut- Immediately adjoins
the 6000.acre reservation of the
club on the east. The only restric-
ton in the deed is that the prop
erty shall be maintained as it is,
and that its scenic beauty shall
not be interfered with.
The "Snut-In" is not only one
of the scenic spots of Missouri, but
it is an historic place. During the
civil wal Gen. Sterling Price
camped there for several days be-
fore the battle of Pilot Knob. The
"Shut- In" derives it's name from a
small stream pouring through a
small gorge between two high
bluffs. BY a series of twelve small
falls the water is conveyed into
what is known as Stout's Creek.
The Arcadia Country Club is
now building a dam across Stout's
Creek to form a lake, to be called
Killarney. The 300 acres adjoin-
ing the creek are now being cleared
of the large timber, and the lum-
Der will be used in building the
clubhouse overlooking this lake.
The clubhouse will contain 400
rooms, and will cost SIS, 900.
Eames & Young have prepared the
plans, and work will begin within
the next thirty days.
The Arcadia Country Club has
been formally organized a few
weeks, yet many of its members
have had architects prepare plans
for bungalows, the sites of which
will be on the banks of Lake Kill
larney. The clubhouse will be
used for transient guests of the
club, and the reservation proper
will be called the 'Sky Garden OF
the Ozarks."
The Board Of Governors of the
club went to Arcadia Friday even

to administer to the wants of the
sick and afflicted, her life was a
beautiful example of a Christian
and a good woman.
Realizing that everything was
being done for her that human
skill could do, she did not trust too
much in frail man, but looked to
Him "who doeth all things WE'LL"
resting in the thought, "Not my
will, o Lord, but thine be DONE"
and was cheerful and happy unto
the last.
Mrs. Meyer is survived by her
husband and five children, Lulu,

Our merchants had a fine trade
Saturday. We have four general
stores in town now.
Stevenson Bros. moved the
dwelling part of the old Chas. Col
Inns building back 40 feet. They
will put a colonial porch around it
and will raise the store building
and make it IL feet wider. 1t will
be quite a nice building when fin
ished. R. A. Stevenson will oc-
cupy the dwelling. l was sorry to
see the old land mark moved, for
there have been some happy hours
spent in that old mansion. There
are very few houses left in cur
town that were here 35 years
ago. DR.. Fred Farr will improve
his house, 1.-THE old Frank Raney
property by raising it two stories
and putting porches around it like
a bungalow.
W. have three Sunday Schools
in our town. The Baptist Sunday
School is conducted by Bro. J. L.

Bro. Stephens also attends. He is

They make good flour, yet they
are not the only men that can
make it. | expect to sell lots of
flour this month.
| went into the station here FRI
day to take No. 10 about 4 o'clock
in the morning and was very mnch
surprised to meet with Rev. Fuller
Swift, Adrian Steel and Collector
Forshee, three good Republicans.
They came in on No. 8 the night
before and left on the early train,
so were here only a short time.
Got in after dark and left before
daylight. | hope they were not
trying to disturb the peace of our
good Democrats or Holiness peo-
pie. For we are all good.
The public school gave an en-
tertainment Friday night to cele-
brate Washington's birthday. The
house was crowded. Our school
building was entirely too small to
accommodate the people. AS it
was, a number went back home,
and did not get to hear the pro-
gramme. Although we were crowd
ed, we enjoyed the evening very
much, as the pupils all had their
parts we'll prepared. The Flag
drill was good; also the contest
in which three girls and two boys
recited. A prize was awarded to
Jesse Lovelace, son of Mrs. L.
Lovelace, who won In the contest.
The little ones all did we'll. A
tableau, in which Carl Fitz, Glen
and Paul Lovelace we're in, attract
ed much attention. "Washington
Crossing the Delaware" was fine.
The dialogues we're all good. We
cannot give the entire programme
as it would take up too much space
and we do not wish to impose on
the editor. The training of the
older pupils as we'll as the little
ones, shows what fine work oul
school is doing. We hope before
another year, our school board and
patrons will see that our school
building is remodeled and en-.
larged so that the children will moi
be so crowded, as well as the peo-
pie, who enjoy coming out to these
entertainments.
