Work has begun on the steel
wagon bridge across Black river
neal Williamsville. The bridge,
we understand, will be a 90-foot
span, IA feet wide, and is being
built by the Vincennes Bridge

the completion of this bridge,
work will begin on the Leeper
bridge which is to be built by the
same company. -Wdyne County

There was brought to the REG.
lister Office last Saturday : the
most gorgeous bouquet of chrysan-
themums that we have seer for
many a day. Hidden among the
flowers was this brief messages:
ga bouquet of Chrysanthemums
for Mr.. AXE that bloomed out
with Wilson. Mrs. M. F. Lowe,
Iron Mountain" The crysan-
themums certainly were beautiful
and Mrs. Lowe has our most
sincere thanks.
Otto Hujtt, one the STEW" Re-
publicans who managed to pull
through at the recent election,
went over to Pennington last Sat-
urday to qualify for his office OF
constable of Randolph township.
He was accompanied by Luther
(Judge) Bess, whom he has app
pointed deputy. With these two
competent and fearless officials in
charge, our community is assured
of two more years of peace and
quietude.-DesIoge Cor. Pennington

The Ironton Brass Band will give
an oyster supper Thanksgiving
afternoon and evening-four to ten
o'clock. Oysters, 25c; coffee and
cake, extra. The proceeds will go
toward the purchase of instruments
and music. The REGISTER urges
all 10 help the "boys" out, for the
object is good. A town without a
brass band is not compatible with
electric lights and granitoid side
walks; therefore, let US try to keep
all these things conforming. The
supper will be served at the Handy
Kitchen.
Our young friend, R, L. Farmer,
now living in Roswell, New Mexi-
co, sends us the following, which
is taken from the San Antonio,
Texas, Express: 'Praise God from
whom all blessings flow; bring
forth the cocks and let them crow ;
the party banner raise on high;
let blazing hats reach to the sky
let horns be footed, bells ring out,
let trumpets blow, let people
shout; let everybody dance with
glee; confetti, let us scatter free
Democracy, 0, bless the day-the
one for which we oft did pray
has won, and now the jobs are
ours. Henceforth we'll dwell in
fairesebowers; in customs house
we will hold sway; we'll sell the
stamps and draw the pay; gee
whiz, amt there some fun in thisi
