The REGISTER had a pleasant call

interesting young man and have no
doubt he will soon have many friends
here.

some time. Charlie expects to do
some fishing and hunting before re-
turning home.
Some of the most delicious tomatoes
that aver graced our table were there
about the first of November. Rather
late for tomatoes but these were sure
ly very fine. They came from the
"Valley Home" gardens and for them
we are indebted to Mrs. James Rob-
ertson. Also some very fine apples
from the orchard.

d.. w. Wilkinson, recently Of Lii
bourn, Mo-, last Friday took charge
of the Commercial Hotel, and Mr.Ka-
mouse will in future devote all of his
time to the Valley Inn. Mr.. Wilkin-

mended as a hotel man and we have
every reason to believe will see that
the good name the Commercial has
always borne under Mr.. Kanouse's
efficient management does not suffer
under his administration.
A petition signed by 500 citizens of
this county was presented to the u
ty court last Monday asking the court
to order a local option election, The
court will act on the petition this
week. The petition was the result of
a movement on part of certain saloon
men who we're run out Of st. Francois
County by the local option law recent
ly adopted there, to start barrel
houses in Washington County, just
across the dividing line between the
two counties. The.prevailing opinion
is that local option will be adopted at
this election. We have no saloons in
the county and so far as we know,
there are few men here who will open
ly contest the proposition .-Potosi
