Avery Tate of Centervile, and his
son-in-law, D. R. Wade, of Edgehill,
have purchased a farm ten miles north
of Edgehill, in Iron County, and will
move to it next week. The farm has
200 acres of land in cultivation and is
said to be a good farm. We did not
learn the price paid.-Reynolds Out

Few people in the community have
any conception of the volume of tim
Der business transacted in the valley.
More timber, it is said, is received at
the Arcadia yard alone than at any
loading point On the railr DAD between
st. Louis and Little Rock. Rarely a
time that there is not as much as
$25 900 worth of lumber, ties and
props on the yard at Arcadia. And
yet they told us the timber was "sll
gone" forty years ago.
The editor acknowledges with
thanks the receipt of al inyita ton to
the Piano Recital of Miss Nellie Mich
OILS at the Arcadia College Auditorium
last Sunday evening. 1t was my mis-
fortune that I was unable to attend,
for I know from past experience how
delightful are such occasions in this
Institution. My good wishes go to the
Ursuline Sisters and their fair pupils,
accompanied with the hope that at
the next entertainment I may be SO
fortunate as to be there to see and
enjoy.
The Bank Of Arcadia Valley has
contracted to purchase the road bonds
issued by Union Township. The bonds
draw six per cent. interest md the
bank agrees to pay a premium of $15
on each thousand dollars worth of
bonds purchased. An issue of $35 900
in bonds was voted by the township,
but it is now thought that not more
than $25 900 of the amount will be is
sued. Since Union township voted
the bonds the county has declared for
a bond issue for roads, and the town
ship organization does not think il
will be necessary to issue bonds to the
amount originally estimated.
From an article taken from last
weeks Fredericktown Democrat
News and printed in this weeks REG
IsTER it will be seen that a row ia
again on over the threatened demoli-
ton of the dam across the st. Francis
river by State Game Warden Birm-
ingham. Without going into the mer-
its or dement's of the question at is
sue, a reading of the article from the
Democrat, News will leave the i'm
preston that the chief object of the
writer was to throw bouquets at Sher-
if Chapman and bricks at the Game
Warden. If the dam at the Silver
Mine is in violation of the law il
should be done away with. That's al
there is to it.
The power house of the Big Muddy
Coal & Iron Company at Pilot Knoll
that supplied the power for the oper.
alton of the compressor and Other
machinery in the mines was destroyed
by fire at an early hour last Saturday
morning. The loss on building ant
machinery is between $15 5000 an(
$40, 900, partly covered by insurance
The fire val discovered by the mai
carrierin Pilot Knob about $50 o'clock
The officials are at a loss to understand
how a fire could occur at that hour a
there was no fire in the building
since the evening previous. Witt
the power house destroyed there j
only work for a limited number o
men and the force in the mines ha
, been somewhat reduced. Mr.. Arthu
Huff went to st, Louis Sunday to con
fer with the officials of the compan,
about rebuilding the power house
1t is probable the plant will be re
built, but nothing definite has bee
yet determined on.
