Our friend of a half century,
Mr.. John Newman, called to see
us one day last week. Mr.. New
man tells us that it is just fifty :
two years ago that he and his
father landed in Ironton. The
first work he did in the valley was
hauling brick from Arcadia for
the courthouse, which was then
building. Mr.. Newman says he
is the only person now living in
the valley who worked on the con-
struction of the courthouse. sThere
may be a few living elsewhere
but most of them have passed in
to the Great Beyond. Mr.. New
man was nineteen years of age
when he came here.
From far and near have come
Christmas tokens to the editor
from the frozen north, the sunny
south, the old east and the new
west-tokens that show that dis
lance does not eliminate kindly
remembrance. To the friends
who thus greet me | make earnest
acknowledgment. Among them
are DR.. r. T. Minor, Portland,
Oregon; Mr.. and Mrs. M. D. Bel
lis, the O'Briens, and others, Los
Angeles; Mr.. g. w. C~larkson, st.
Louis; III. A. Nall, Jefferson City
May all of them, as well as every
reader of the REGISTER, be happy
and prosperous in the New Year
upon whose threshold we stand in
hopeful anticipation!
