In this issue Of the REGISTER will
be found the announcement of Mr..
Houston McColl as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Coun-
ty Treasurer of Iron County. Mr..

a most worthy young man. He was
born and reared in Belleview and has
spent practically all OF his life in Iron
county. He has always been a strong
believer in the principles and an
ardent advocate of the party Of JEFF
ferson. Unquestionably should he be
chosen as County Treasurer he will
make a splendid official. For a num-
Der of years Mr.. McColl has been en-
gagged in school teaching and is now
in the employ of the Leeper Msrcan-
tile Company at Annapolis.
Last Thursday afternoon, April 20,
1920, The Freshman Glass decided to
go to Iron Mountain Lake. The class
assembled at the home of Miss Roberta
Rudy, the boys having previously
hired a truck, and after waiting a
short time at Miss Rudy's home, Mr.
Mayes (the driver) came with the
truck, and we started out. l will not
try to tell you what fun we had on the
way to the dam; will just let you sur
mise that part of it. We arrived al
at the lake at $50 in high spirits
Several boys and girls rowed out on
the lake, while some walked up to the
reservoir. At about $3.50 we spread
our lunch out on the wharf. Talk
about "eats!" The girls sure did fix 6
fine supper. They deserve especia
honor. We stayed until about S:3(
and then returned home, after enjoy
ing an excellent time. We contem
plate having a school picnic soon.

The residence of Louis Miller il
Arcadia wBs destroyed by fire las
Wednesday morning. The flames orig.
anated in the roof and when the dis
Fcovery was made had gained sucl
Roadway that they could not be check
ed. The fire burned rapidly and in 6
couple of hours nothing was left o

from the fue ignited the roof. Wher
the alarm was given citizens hur-
ried to the scene and about all tn
furniture in the house was remov ed

County Clerk Parks this week re
ceived a notice from the State High
way Departmental the County Cour
in which the Highway Department
says the road from the Iron Count y
line to Centerville and from Ellingtol
to the Carter County line, must b
completed by the first day of Novem
Der, next. That is only six month
in which to complete the road, an
it is doubtful about securing thu
laborers. AT present there is tire
or four large culverts to be put in, tn
grading to be done, fills to make, etc.
etc. The people of the county
generally, want to see the road com
pleted as soon as possible. Just a
this time Judge Sutterield is unabl
to get a sufficient force to do niue
work and 1t all depends on the mum
Der of men he is ableto ecure Row
ever, let's hope for the best results
We hope the STATE Highway will 'ge
busy,'' On the proposition to bull
some bridges. Without bridges tn
roads are worthless. - Center will
