At meeting of the ladies of St.
Paul's Guild at the residence of
Mrs. A. Roehry last Friday afternoon
there was a pleasant diversions
half hour being devoted to the cele-
bration of the 18th birthday of the
Guilds President, Mrs. Thomas New
man. Some delightful refreshments

CALCULATIONS and best wishes on the

Many valley people will recall
James L. Brierton, who fifteen years
and more ago was night operator at
the Ironton station. Mr.. Brierton is
now located in New Orleans as
Manager of the Alabama & New
Orleans Transportation Company,
which operates a number of self-pro-
PEELED steel cars of 1000 tons capacity
between New Orleans and the coal
fields of Birmingham, Alabama. 1t is
a new venture, financed by Boston
capital, but is already an assured
success. We always knew that there
was a place at the top for Jimmy and
are glad to note his steady climbing.
The Moss Tie Company had a drive
of IL, 1000 ties in East Fork at the time
of the high water last week, and they
are now scattered along Black River
for a distance of several miles. MI. H.
R. Taylor, the Moss Tie Company's
local representative in this county,
departed early Monday morning
for Black River, where he will try
to "corral" the runaway ties.
Sometimes ties get to running or
travelling SO fast down the river that
it is difficult to keep close to them,
and on n or two occasions Mr.. Tay-
lor found some of his ties in An
napolis, six miles from Black River
C%enterville Outlook.
Two OF three weeks ago the REGIS
TER told of Assessor John Marshall's
"hard luck" on losing a pocket book
containing $50 or more. Well, after
the purse had been gone two weeks
and John had just about given up all
hopes of ever hearing anything about
it, on Tuesday of last week he picked
the pocket book up in his barn and,
counting its contents, found there was
$70-about ten more than he had cal
culated. Some luck, that! Well, John
has been feeling so very good over
the recovery of the money that there
has scarce any fellow come his way the
past week that he hasn't said to him,
"Let's 60 over to the pump and have
a drink"
The REGISTER this week prints the
announcement of Prof. George W.
Hanson as a candidate for Superin-
dent of Public Schools for Iron County,
subject to the action of the voters at
the School Election to be held Tues
day, April 9Th, next. Prof. Hanson
has been a resident of Iron county for
several years, teaching in the schools
at Pilot Knob and Ironton. He is a
most excellent young man, worthy in
every way, and a progressive and
successful educator. Should he be
chosen as Mr.. Burnham's
we have no doubt that he will dis
charge the duties of the office with
credit to himself and satisfaction to
his constituents.
The County Court last week leased
the County Farm to W. 7. Keathley
for another year and awarded him the
county paupers tor the ensuing year
Mr.. Keathley pays $40 lease for the
farm and gets 80 a month each for
boarding the paupers. There was one
other bidder: VIM. Anderson of Pilot
Knob offered to take the paupers at
$3.50 per month, each, and give 1920
lease for the farm. Keathley claimed,
however, that on the assurance of the
former court, that he would not be
disturbed, he had sown forty acres
OF the farm in wheat and il he had to
leave this spring it would work a
hardship on him. After considering
the matter at length the court con-
Guided to let Mr.. Keathley have the
farm another twelve months from
March LIST.
The county court last Saturday APP
pointed the following road ~overseers

the county for the ensuing year:
