Centerville, Mo-, March 10, 1217.
Editor REGIsTER:--ln looking over
the headlines OF the REGISTER tor las,
week, among other things, we noted
that it is marked "Volume l., Number
A." From this we figure that the
paper is rounding the half century
stone and that on the 3lst of May next
the tifty-year post will have been
reached.
Since the opening of this enterprise
in Ircn County, the "Book of Time"
has recorded many changes, not only
In the political arena of State and
Nation, but in the physical uphnild OF
the home county aud Southeast Mis-
souri,
This undertaking was launched in
tie reconstruction days, and if we are
not mistaken the same Eli d. AXE,
whose name now appears as "Editor,"
occupied the tripod at the beginning,
as well as the position of directing
the propelling force.
The present publisher, Frank P.
AXE, appeats to be subsequent ac-
quired asset, nodded and polished in
the fire of actual experience, and who
appears to be doing justice to the po-
sition assigned him.
When the last day of the fifth month
of the present year shall arrive, and
the halt century mark shall have been
reached, it would be well and fitting
for tho press and people who have
come under the influence of the REG.
IsrER to tender to Bro. Eli d. AXE
their congratulations on his fifty years
as editor ef one paper. We believe
he Will be the only man in Missouri
with this distinction. Let them sav:
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servant, henceforth there Is a crown
laiu up for thee" Not that they
would remove him from his high posi-
tior, but only as an act of appreciation
Of his long and useful work,
! We remember the REGISTER in the
halcyon days, after the unpleasant tness
OF the Civil War had been wiped away
and all good men were interested in
the upbui!d of the country. We knew
1t when such good men as the Rever.
end Jerome &. Bergman was at the
head Of Arcadia College, from which
Alma Mater many Of the most notet
men of Missouri finished and polished
their education.
We knew the IRON COUNTY REGIS
TER when that noted educator, Prof
Pulls, was superintendent OF school,
OF Iron county. We knew the REGIS
TER when the noted Tom Callahan o
the West End unused and sang hi
poetry and prose through the column
thereof. We knew 1t when our frien,
j.. v. Webb, the lifelong railroad con
ductor, last polished up his ideas Il
