MI. j. Hummel, a former resident
Of Ironton, who has been making his
home in Jasper, Alabama, for a num-
Der of years, vas in town for a few
hours last Saturday. Mr.. Hummel is
engaged in the manufacture OF hubs
and tells us that his business is pros

Mr.. T. j. Dresser, of Poplar Bluff
formerly of I%ronton, is again in the
tie business and will buy ties any
where on the right of the way of the
Iron Mountain railroad between Bis

their ties, promising all a square deal.
In this issue of the REGISTER is re-
produced an article from the Cotton,
California, Information, telling OF the
death in that town of Mark A. Doty, a
former resident of Ironton. The de-

They r we'll remembered by older
residents.
Jas. Mulligan, the gentleman from
the "ould sod' who owns quite an
extensive tract of land in Oregon
county and who has spent some time
in Van Buren, lately, left Tuesday for
st. Louis, where he makes his head
quarters most of the time, especially
during the winters.-Van Buren, Cur
rent Local.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. A. Russell and
daughter, Miss Estelle, and Mrs.
Minnie Evans, left Potosi, Tuesday
for San Diego, California, where they
expect to spend the winter. Their
handsome home in Potosi will be
occupied by Howard Carr and wife, of
Caledonia, during their ABSENCE
Potosi Independent.
The boys we're out Halloween
playing their usual pranks. In one
instance a wagon loaded with ties was
dismantled and the parts ofthe wagon
and ties scattered to the four winds.
Boys will be boys, but sometimes we
think these FRANKS are carried a little
too far. But guess the boys will say
we are getting old and cranky.
Mr.. and Mrs. @. W. Hollis left this
week for Ironton, where they will
take up their residence at the Baptist
Home. Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis are two
of u Oldest and most beloved people,
and we are sorry to have them leave
Pennington. 1t is the wish of all that
their declining years may be passed
in peace and contentment at the
Home.-FarmingtonT Times.
There came near being a row dur
ing the session of the county court
Monday. The trouble came up over
a proposed foot bridge across Big
Creek, neal Chloride, for the school
children. Fortunately Sheriff Blue
hs opened to be at hand and COM
manded peace before the would-b e
belligerent had greatly outraged the
dignity of the court or satisfied his
awful thirst for gore.
DR.. Marshall's buggy was badly de-
molished by A. M. Madigans's pony
running into it last Saturday after
noon. Mrs. Madigan was driving the
pony and had stepped into the Dr.'s
office. AS she came out she saw the
pony was getting ready to RUN. She
grabbed the lines and held on until
the frightened animal rounded the
REGISTER corner and then she had to
leave go. 1t is fortunate she was not
badly hurt.
Mr.. j. v. Webb, for many years a
passenger conductor on the Iron
Mountain, was an Ironton visitor last
week. Mr.. Webb is now living on a
farm, near Carbonate, Illinois, and is
enjoying splendid health once again.
He tells us that he has made but one
run on the road in the past year OF
more and he hardly expects ever
to run regularly again. In point Of
service he is one of the Oldest en-
ployes on the Iron Mountain railroad,
James Barnes, who has been on the
mail route between this place and Sa-
bula for several years, made his last
trip the first of the week, having pre-
viously made a trade with Zeke How
ard of Black River, who will carry it
for him. Thos. Adams, the other car
rier on this route, recently succeeded
Otis Parks. If the roads out of Sabula
for four or five miles yer in any con
dition to permit anything like the car
riers making them without killing
their teams, there would be no room
for complaint on the ute.-Center-
vile Outlook.
County Highw way Engineer Poiak has
a novel scheme for getting some good
roads in the county. In company
with County superintendent Burnham
he contemplates at an early date Wis
iting the 4S school districts in the
county and offering a prize Of 1926 to
the district building the best half mile
