The fall opening Of the Lopez Store
last Saturday was the unqualified
success that attends every effort of
the big store. The place was thronged
all day long and the praise bestowed
on Manager Ringo and his associates
was most generous. An attractive
and useful cream pitcher was given
to each visitor as a souvenir of the
occasion.
The REGISTER made an error last
week in giving the date of the Zude-
Johnson wedding to be solemnized in
the Lutheran church, Pilot Knob. The
ceremony will take place Wednesday
evening, October 14th, not October
18th, as stated last week. All who wish
to witness the ceremony at the church
will be welcome, whether they have
received an invitation or not.
Probably a thousand cords of wood
in the neighborhood of Bixby and
Doyle, in the West End Of Iron
County, belonging to the Sligo Furnace
Company, have been destroyed by fire
the past week or two. The fires are
thought to be of incendiary origin,
and, not w~ithstanding the Company
has a number of watchmen employed,
much wood has been burned.
DR.. E. E. Whiteside and family mo-
tored Sunday to Des Arc and from
there to Annapolis. Only about three
hours were consumed in making the
trip to Des Arc and it was made with
out a mishap of any nature. Dr.
Whiteside has become a real enthusi-
astic motorist and has great faith in
the practicability of the automobile
for this country -Greenville Journal.
We certainly are pleased that our
Arcadia neighbors are keeping the
electric lights on the streets; they re-
alize it is a good thing. But why not
include the light on the bridge be-
tween Ironton and Arcadia? Our
lights in Ironton will probably extend
to those of Arcadia in the near future.
The lights are as great an improve
ment to Arcadia as the granitoid
walks are to Ironton.
Col. R. D. Lewis was a Valley visitor
last week. He tells us that they had
a pleasant time in New Hampshire
during thei r s%ojourn there this sum-
mer, but says that far-famed section
had no advantage that the valley does
not possess as a summer resort. Mr.
Lewis son has gone to Cornell Univer-
sity for the coming year and hi
daughter has matriculated at Knox
Seminary in Tarrytown.

of the company that is operating the
Mine La Motto mines, this week pur-
chased 100 acres of land from N. B,

adioins a tract of land that Mr.
Thompson bought some time ago ant
it is believed by some that it is being
bought for mining purposes. 1t il
also rumored that his company will
lease and operate the North American
plant. And that the Bonnie Terrt
railroad will be extended from Doe

g. B. Cook, Deputy Pure Food Com
missioner, has taken up the matter o
the sale of dirty ice here and a prose
cution of the Carondelet Ice and Fue
Mfg. Co., of st. Louis, will probabl.
be the next step taken. s. L. Nc
Farland is the local dealer and he il
very much put out over his failure t.
give his customers good ice. TIL
last two cars received have been 8,
dirty that he didn't attempt to sol
them. Appearantly the ice is mad
of plain old river water, and liberia
quantities of mud are to be seen il
every cake. Mr.. Cook will immediate
ly take the matter up and push tn
thing until the wrong is remedied.-
