Mrs. L. A. MCKEE,
Ironton, Nc.
The Ladies of st. Paul's Guild
will serve tea at the home of Mrs.
Jane Newman Thursday after
noon, November IA, from 2:30 to
8 o'clock. All are cordially in
vited.
The REGISTER is a couple OF
days late this week waiting for
election returns. The official count
in Iron county was not completed
until late Thursday evening and
we thought best to wait for it.
County court was in session
Monday and then, because of the
election, adjourned until next
Monday. Herman Amelung's
petition for a saloon at Pilot Knob
will be considered next Tuesday.
Charles Damron will continue
to be a terror to the evil doors in
Iron county, Tom Jones will take
care of the money and Bill Blue
will run the jail. McGinty? Oh,
yes. He can go back to Colorado.
Teachers Meeting Saturday
afternoon and evening at Belle
view. Everybody invited. The
children's exercises in the even
ing at the Methodist Church will
be an excellent feature of the pro-
gram.
The Iron County Democrats will
ratify fhe great victory in Nation,
State and County. The date of
the ratification has not been fully
determined, but it will probably
be November 18th. Due notice
will be given.
We had a half hours very
pleasant talk with our old friend,
DR.. J. w. Wick, Tuesday morn
ing, who came here from st. Louis
to vote. He is the same genial
gentlemen he always was, and we
are glad to say is enjoying splen-
did health.
Jacob Dinger returned last week
from st. Louis, where he spent
the past six weeks in the Lutheran
Hospital. He is able to get about
town, but is still weak and it will
be possibly two or three months
yet before he will be able to 60 to
work again.
Mr.. @. l.. t'icklin, editor of the
De Kalb County Herald, of Mays
ville-Mo., made a most excellent
Democratic speech in the court
house here last Wednesday night.
The speech was unquestionably
the best that has been delivered in
Ironton in many a day.
Three or four men were recently
arrested for b~urglarizing at Pevely,
in Jefferson county, and are now
in Jail at Hillsboro. Their home
is in Flat River and they are said
to be the same parties who bur-
glarized the Lopez store in Ironton
a couple of months ago.
We heard a fellow say Monday
evening that one of the Republic
can candidates in Ironton had Sc
cured nine cases of beer that
morning, and not a single bottle
was on hand that night. For a
"God and morality" man he was
dealing it out with lavish hand,
wasn't he?
Bill Townsend was elected Judge
of the Western District by 7 votes.
It is a close district. In 1908 Judge
Thompson was elected by s
majority; two years ago j. O.
Scott and George Phillips tied,
each receiving 297 votes; last
Tuesday Townsend received 303
and his Republican opponent, R.
g. Crocker, 296. Too close for
comfort.
We have been informed that the
Piedmont Banner has been sold to
j. M. Bowers of Greenville and o.
L.. Munger of Piedmont. Both of
these men have had newspaper
experience, having at different
times owned the Journal. We are
presuming that the paper will be
managed by Mr.. Bowers.-Wayne
County Journal.
Circuit court convened this
Thursday morning, having been
adjourned since Saturday. The
case of J.J. Farris vs. Josie Farris,
divorce, will be tried tomorrow.
Court will probably be in session
until Saturday and then adjourn
until November 18th. The docket,
with the disposition of the cases,
will be printed next week.
David Heidelburg tells us that
between $50 and $40 has been
raised in Pennington this week to
help employ counsel to assist in
the prosecution of the gang of
thugs who assaulted Mrs. T. J..
Mullane, who with her husband,
was travelling through Iron county
on Saturday, October, 10, and
were attacked near Annapolis and
Mrs. Mullane was fearfully OUT
raged.-Farmington News.
In few days the list Of abb
sentees from some school in the
Fredericktown school district,
will be made up and sent to the
prosecuting attorney and the par
ents and guardians will be pro-
caadad AGAINST according to law.
