Rev. Fuller Swift, whose term had
expired.
Last Saturday morning the
south bound fast mail train, No.
z, came steaming through IRON
ton at 7:30 o'clock-three hours
late. The train was composed of
two engines and four ears and was
making no time at that.

er of the winter is yet before US
now is the time to buy stoves.

Paul Myers. who has a Pullman
run between St. Louis and Denver,
returned from a trip to Denver
about ten days ago, suffering from
a evere attack of rheumatism.
We are glad to say that he is now
much better and will probably re-
sumo work this week.
A "straw vote' taken last week
by a local Democrat from the first
fifty Democrats he met, resulted
as follows: Champ Clark, 43;
Wilson, 8; Harmon, 2; no choice,
2. Almost without exception, these
fifty named Bryan as their first
choice if he were a candidate.
Bro. AXE of the Ironton REGIS
TER ought to be happy, for after
years of effort IN the part of the
REGISTER, a COW ordinance has
been passed, which prohibits COWS
from running at large. He says
the law will be strictly enforced.
1t is certainly a good law.-Farm-
Sngton Times.
County Treasurer Jones Monday
received from Collector Forshee
something over $4,000, county
revenue from the taxes of 1911.
This money will at once be ap-
piled to paying off outstanding
county warrants, but will not be
sufficient to pay them all by
So, 900 or $4,000.
We are always glad to hear of
the success of the Ironton boys
and girls. The first of the year
Miss Leila O'Neal was commits
stoned as a deputy in the office of
mi. w. w. Nall, Clerk OF the U.
S. District Court, ST. Louis, at a
salary of 800 per month. We con
graduate both Miss O'Neal and
Mr.. Nall.
F. R. Order, one of the best
known citizens of Bismarck, sus-
tanned a stroke of paralysis on
last Sunday evening which caused
his death a few hours later. He
was in his Goth year. He leaves
two daughters and one son and a
host of friends who mourn the loss
of one of the county's best men.
The family have the sympathy of
all in their great bereavement

lowing directors were elected for

VIM. Hall has 800 tons of ice
stored away in the ice house for
valley use next summer. The
greater portion of it is about seven
Inches thick, but that put away
after the big freeze Friday night. is
fully a foot thick. Hall also cut
1850 tons of ice for Messrs. R. D.
and j. A. w. Lewis to store in
their ice houses in Rnssellville.
The ice put up this winter is the
finest that has been harvested in
the valley in many years.
The railroad men certainly
have their full share of grief when
the blizzard strikes the land. All
trains have been late the past two
weeks; making time is out of the
question. Train No. 10 in running
from Poplar Bluff to st. Louis
one morning last week lost three
hours and a half time. At Mill
Spring the wheels of the engine
froze to the rails while taking
water and getting loose was no
easy job. No. 8 last Friday ar
rived here from st. Louis at 6:15
o'clock P. M, five hours on the
Z road from st. Louis.
The Princess Stock Company,
which was at the Academy OF
Music the first of last week, is a
meritorious aggregation and gave
good performances. Owing to the
extremely cold weather the at
tendance was poor and the show
folk were inclined to s'roast'' our

may in a measure account for the
