Joe Eaton of Iron Mountain has
leased the @. H. Lucy store building

Sheriff Blue attended the picnic at
Redmondville last Saturday by e
quest. 1t was said that certain OPP
posing factions had agreed to meet at
the picnic and settle their difficulties.
1t was feared there would be serious

The REGISTER last week announced
that the next visit of DR.. 9. A. Fuld-
ner, Opt. D., st. Louis, to Ironton

This was was an error. The Dr''s
next visit to Ironton will be Wednes-
day, July 14th, and in future he will
be in Ironton on the second and fourth
Wednesdays of each month. Those
desiring to consult him will please

W. w. Reese last week received his
commission as postmaster at Ironton
and took charge of the Office July Let.
1t has been just two years since MIR.
Daugherty relinquished the office.
We have no doubt Mr.. Reese will
prove a most painstaking and careful
official. Patrons of the Office will be
glad to know that Miss Margery
Kendall, who has been employed In
the Office the past two years, will re-
tain her position. She has proven
herself a most competent and ac-
commodating person in the post
office.
The picnic at Black or last Satur-
day was n~umerously attended by the
citizens of Reynolds County. The
crowd in attendance was one of the
largest ever witnessed, so we are in
formed by some of those attending.
The committee sold about $3.50 worth
of "amusements" and the net profit
will probably amount to $3.50 or $500.
w. II. Clements donated a turkey to
the committee, which, after being
made into Sandwiches" brought the
neat little sum of $25. All of those
whom we have heard speak of the
matter say it was one of the best ever
given in the county.-Centerville Out.
