structure fell and he was buried un-

We have letter from Mr.. John B.
Buckner, a former well known resi-
dent of Iron County. Mr.. Buckner
has just located neal Westville, Okla
homa. He writes: 81 have TO ask
you to change the address of my pap
er. Have moved from Fayetteville,
Arkansas, to Westville, Oklahoma.
Do not think you will have to change
my address so often in the future as /
have bought a home-a So acre farm
near the beautiful town of Westville,
which is certainly surrounded by a
nice country, much like Belleview
Valley. Here 1 hope many numbers
of the REGITsER will find me and that
l may receive many letters from my
oft remembered and oft-tried friends
in Iron and Wayne counties" Mr..
Buckner's friends in Iron county will
join us in wishing him every success
in his new home.
John S. Luthy, aged n years, died
at his home in Pilot Knob, Thursday,
January 80, 1918, after quite a pro-
longed illness. Mr.. Luthy had long
been a resident of Iron county, com
ing here in the year 1867, and locating
at Ironton where he worked at his
trade as . tailor for the late P. Crozat.
Afterwards he was deputy postmaster
of Ironton for a period of about four
years, the late John V. Logan then
being postmaster. In the early sew
entities Mr.. Luthy removed to the west
end of the county, where he lived I'M
til about ten years ago. He then came
to Pilot Knob. The deceased was an
upright man, a faithful friend and
good citizen. He will long be our
ed and missed by the friends and
neighbors who have known him for
nearly half a century. The funeral
occurred Saturday afternoon under
the auspices of the G. A. r.. and the
remains were inferred in the K. p.
cemetery. A widow and three child
rem by a former marriage mourn his
demise. May his rest be peaceful.
Last Monday morning a new factory
steam whistle was heard in this city i,
proclaiming the birth of a new enter
prise, and awakening the echoes of
the once tuneful sounds of industry in
the old Screen Door Factory. For
the past few months 7. j. st. Louis
has been busy fixing up the old build
ings, and installing a complete set of
machinery for the manufacture of
implement wood stock. This includes
a complete saw mill, with bolter and
trimmer saws. The object is to make
all the parts that go into the building
of wagons. They will also do custom
saving, which is a welcome feature,
as many farmers want their logs saw
ed into lumber to improve their farm
buildings, and also have cash market
for their surplus timber. Mr.. st,
Louis has been fortunate in securing
the cooperation of Edgar F. Kellogg
forming a partnership. The business
will be Incorporated under the firm
name of "Ironton Wood Stock Mfg
Co." They have secured agood stocE
of logs, besides a quantity of standing
timber; will employ from twelve tt
fifteen men at the start, and increase
the number of employees as the facili'
ties for logging improve. Mr.. st
Louis has been in the valley for owe:
two years, and is favorably known
Mr.. Kellogg has lately arrived from
, Wisconsin, and comes highly recon-
mended. They r both energeti
