On the first page of this weeks
REGISTER will be found in full the
report of the two gentlemen who
have been at work the past month
or more auditing the books of the
various officers of the county. 1t
is an honest report submitted by
honest men. Very probably it will
not please Fuller Swift and the
character assassins behind him,
but if it did you might be certain
it would be not what it ought to be.
Died-At the family residence
in South Ironton, June 10, 1911, at
II 80 o'clock A. M, after a long
and painful illness, Mrs. Ida
Florence Imboden, beloved wife
of Emmett Imboden, aged 43
years, eight months and seven-
teen days. The funeral occurred
Tuesday afternoon and interment
was made in the K. P. cemetery.
A husband and five children are
left to mourn the loss of wife and
mother. To the bereaved we x
tend sympathy.
Rev. R. 7. Mines, Superin-
tendent of the Children's Home
Society of Missouri, paid our town
a visit on Thursday last. He in
tended taking little Mary Jane
Stuffcoe to the home, but found it
necessary to wait until after court.
She will then be sent to this So
ciety, undoubtedly. The work
the Children's Home Society is
doing is one of the most impor-
tant things before US. Our people
should stand by this society for it
has done a great deal for Iron
county.
Geo. w. Redden and family
moved to Pennington this week
where Mr.. Redden has leased the
Berryhill studio. Mr.. Redden is
an excellent photographer and
Fredericktown is sorry to see him
and his family move away but we
are hoping that Mr.. Redden will
find a good town for a photog-
rapher. Mr.. Redden has patented
a press for printing photographs
and he informed us that this was
the main reason for his moving as
he had secured the backing in
Pennington to manufacture and
put his invention on the Market
FredericktoUn Tribune.
The term of circuit court that
closed at Centerville last week was
a record breaker in this circuit
and we believe in the state. In
the three weeks that court was in
session Judge bearing disposed Of
two murder cases, several other
criminal cases, and 525 civil cases
that we're contested. There could
not be a greater contrast between
two judges than there is between
Judge Williams and Judge Dear
ing. Judge Williams vas about
the slowest judge that ever sat on
any bench in any county at any
time and cost this county thou
sands of dollars. Judge bearing
has already made a record that
commands the admiration of his
bitterest political enemy. He
ought to be on the supreme bench
and will be if he disqualification
Press.
I understand that the successful
bidder for depository of the coun-
ty funds failed to "make good"
within the time required. The law
requires that the depository's
bond be executed within ten days
after the selection, "with not less
than five solvent sureties who
shall own real estate of as great
value as the amount of said
bond" In Ease of failure to exc.
cute and file such bond within the
ten days, the law-Sec. 1904, r. S.
Mo.-says "the amount of said
certified check shall go to the
county as liquidated damages"
In this instance, the certified
check deposited with the bid is
S525. In strict conformity to law
it is forfeited, and if / felt as
virtuously hostile to the bidder as
its select crowd did toward the
late Collector j. N. Lewis, when
he erred technically, I too would
be bowling for "Blood! blood

B. N. Brown of Ironton has
about completed his new steel
concrete store building near the
post Office. The building, which
is being built by MI. q. A
Buckley, is the first one of its kline
to be erected in Ironton, though *
the cities concrete buildings have
become numerous. Thus are thu
centuries tied together. Nearly
four thousand years ago, in thu
time Of Moses, the Egyptians USED
concrete in construction; to-day
it is as hard as flint rock. Thu
boosted Arrangement of the 20tl
century has brought up at con
crete. With the passing of year
! this building will grow harder ant
harder and If we should appea
, on this earth four thousand years
hence, though Mr.. Brown and hi
merchandise will have long since
gone, yet this new store, unless
purposely destroyed, will still
have it's walls standing erect.
