The county court passed favor
ably on Herman Amelung's pc
tition for a saloon at Pilot Knob.
Provided Mr.. Am chung presents a
satisfactory bond he will probably
be given a license by the court to-
day. The cost of a license is S120C
per annum.
1t looks like there will be quite a
scramble among the Democrats
for the Ironton post office. The
following have been mentioned as
probable applicants for the place:
H. B. Jones, A. M. Madigan, j. E.
Grandhomme, F. A. Twomey and
R. L. Barger. There may be 9TH

The proposition to move the
county seat from Greenville to
Patterson was badly defeated at
Tuesdays election. Only about
one third of the vote cast was in
favor OF the county seat removal
while two thirds of the vote is
necessary to carry the PROPOSE
tion.-GreenuiIIe Sun.
The county court this week made
an order requiring parties who
have money borrowed from the
school fund to secure the approval
of the court before the property on
which the money is loaned can be
tire nsferred. Where this order is
not complied with immediate pay
ment of the mortgage will be de-
manded.
The REGISTER last week printed
an article from the Greenville
Journal wherein it was stated that
j. M. Bowers Of Greenville and o.
L. Munger of Piedmont had pur-
chased the Piedmont Banner. Bro.
Waterman, owner of the Banner,
says in the last issue of that paper
that he has not sold, nor is he
anxious to sell.
DR.. e. L. Farmhouse, Secretary
of the Ironton School Board, Tues
day received a letter from State
Superintendent of Public Schools
Evans stating that Ironton had
been placed in the list of first class
approved high schools. The State
Superintendent takes occasion to
compliment Prof. Loomis very
highly for the work he is doing in
Ironton.

Readers of the REGISTER are
aware that the writer is not a ia
natic on the liquor question, but ]
saw something on the streets OF
Ironton Tuesday night that was
abhorrent and, yes, heart-sicken-
ing, beyond the power of words to
express. / saw a boy, scarcely
sixteen years Of age, ~tottering and
reeling along the street, scarcely
able to keep on his feet with the
aid of two younger companions.
He was drunk, yes, maudlin drunk,
and the man Sc ,lost to decency OF
sense of shame who furnished him
the alcohol to get in that condition
should be given the laws limit.
Tuesday evening at 6 O'Clock
died little Beverly, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. N. Brown, aged about six
years. He had contracted whoop-
ing-cough, now so prevalent here,
and a few days ago it was compile
Gated with pneumonia. Every at
tention that love could command
was given him in vain. With the
bereaved parents no expression OF
sympathy, can avail to lessen theil
anguish now, but | in common
with their neighbors and friends
would willingly alleviate the grief
which shadows their lives.
Time alone can bring healing and
and resignation to the dread decree
which has desolated the house
hold. Heaven help the afflicted!
