A birthday party was given W. r.
Hall of Ironton last Wednesday even
ing by his better-half, and it was at
tended by a number of neighbors and
and friends. They all congratulated
him upon the attainment of his 25th
year, with good wishes to him and
his for many years to come. An ele-
CANT lunch was served, with cigars to
aid its digestion, and music to enlight-
en- the hearts of the guests. They all

ent were: M. W. Daugherty, P. P.

A party Of four-two men and two
women-came to town Monday and
disposed of a wagon-load of turkeys.
Then they went to Lopez Store Co.'s
and made a number of purchases.
While this was going on, n of the
women took a skirt to Miss Fisher in
the millinery department and desired
her to wrap it up, saying that Mr..
Schach from whom she purchased it
was busy Afterward, Miss Fisher
upon inquiry found that Mr.. s. had
not sold a skirt to the woman. Where
upon investigation was made, and it
was discovered that several articles
had been distracted without the
knowledge of the store folk. These
articles were returned, after threat of
arrest, and the party of four went
their way. But, so far as they were
concerned, the days trading was
spoiled.
Mr.. Fred Geitz, Jr., of Ellington,
Mo-, who has been assisting in a Holt
ness meeting at Piedmont for several
weeks past, writes the REGISTER un-
der date of November 18th: "The
meeting here has taken on a tremen-
dous momentum, the glory coming
down in every service, and people ev-
en- getting converted in their homes.
One man prayed in his corn crib for
three hours this morning, and they
sent for me to come at once, that he
was dying. When 7 got there sever
or eight women, together with Bro,
Alternately, we're praying. The poor
fellow was rolling in the corn, scream
ing for mercy. In a few minutes he
got salvation and shouted all over the
place. There have been AZ CONVEX
sions to date. The town is stirred.
Have never witnessed anything like
it. Men rolling off the benches under
terrible conviction"
One of the most %atrocious deeds
that has ever been committed in any
civilized town, was committed here
between 1880 Tuesday night and 8
O'Clock Wednesday afternoons Some
one, in a revengeful spirit, crawled in
a window of the opera house, between
those hours, cut and scratched up a
5000 piano and slashed a rug all to
pieces. These were owned by L. F.
Plank. Not satisfied with this, they
cut the rubber hose attached from the
gas drums to the motion picture ma
chine and stole the lenses and other
wise damaged to the amount of $50
They also cut both heads Of a bass
drum which was owned by Hugh
Bisplinghoff. There is no reason fol
this whatever, only spite work, ano
the parties committing the deco
must undoubtedly be some fanatics
In order to give these parties theil
just dues, they should be placed where
the dogs won't bite them.-Bismarck
Gazette.
