Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1917-07-26
From Near Arcadia Heights.

-
Your writer wrote his last letter
to the REGISTER from st. Louis. At
present prices, of farm productions,
we thought it best to come home and
look after the farm here and at Ro-
selle. The prospects for an excellent
yield OF corn is very fiattering, in
deed. Potatoes, cabbage, onions,
beets, beans, and in fact, everything
that is raised in the garden, were new.
er better than now. This means very
much, not only to the farmer, but to
almost every line of business. We
noticed a wagon load of corn from
Belleview Valley yesterday, which
was pulled into Ironton with two
horses, and We understand that this
load Of corn brought the owner $40. 90
in cash. With corn selling at 81. 80 to
$500 per bushel, it pays every farmer
to look after his crop of corn, aud we
are glad to note that that is being
done. "
Several from this locality have been
attending the services at the Methodist
Assembly, near Arcadia, and report
that everything is satisfactory.
The Baptist Assembly will convene
on the Arcadia Heights August g., and
continue for two weeks. No pains
will be spared that will tend to make
this one of the best {if not the best)
meetings eve held on the Heights.
The grounds have been put in first
class condition, the tabernacle and
pavilion have been very much i'm
proved in general appearance-in
fact everything looks neat and in
Vitlng, and we are SURE that those
who attend the Assembly will feel
much has been done for their comfort
and pleasure during their stay on the
Heights. Mr.. Sutherland, with a
force OF men, has been doing some
extra work on the road leading to the
Heights, and the roads will be in much
better condition than ever before.
Mrs. Teachmacher and daughter and
Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell and sister, all
Of st, Louis, are now domiciled on the
Heights, and it is said that others will
come in the next few days.
Mr.. j. D. Vance has employed a
gentleman and his wife to take charge
of the Vance Hotel during the Assem-
bly,, and everything will be up.to-date
and the prices very reasonable, con.
sidering the present high prices OF
"things."
Miss Stella Beardsley began her
school on Crane Pond on the 9Th. 1t
is said she has a ten months school.
MIR. Hendiey, of near Arcadia, some
time ago purchased the Pearl Hill
farm, east of Ironton, near the
Heights. 1t is said he will remove
his family to the farm, in the near
future.
We are sorry to learn that our
young friend, j. l.. Logan of Belleview,
is seriously i'll. We hope he will soon
recover.
Ernest McClurg, of Mann, this coun.
ty, was in lronton Saturday. Ten
years ago he was a pupil of the writ
er's at Cedar Grove.
We have just been looking over the
list of names of those drawn from
this county for the first call for the
war draft. OF course, many of those
called will fail to pass the physical
test, and others will be from various
reasons exempt, and consequently il
may be possible that others from this
county viii yet be called. Now that
our wi dear brave boys have been
called into training preparatory to
being sent over the Atlantic ready to
engage in actual war, the war prob
lem means much more to US, becomes
a tangible reality, and will cause M
aching void in the hearts of many a
father and mother, wife and sweet
heart. It's simply awful to contempt
late, and yet it is all, or nearly so,
caused by old Bill Kaiser's colossal
greed for autocracy and dominion.
But we are glad to note that German
%autocracy is being lowered, and tina,
Bill Kaiser is beginning to learn some
thing Of the might and force Of old
Vox populi. o, the cares, the trouble
and the worry this war brings to us
But some day, as Longfellow has
said,
"The cares that infect the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs
And silently pass away"
