Iron County register., 1922-04-20

there for resisting an officer. He was
entirely willing to come back to Mis-
souri,, and when arraigned in the cir
cult court here Thursday morning
pleaded guilty to the charge against
him and was given sentence OF two
years in the penitentiary,
Jesse M. Hawkins announces this
week as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Circuit Clerk
and Recorder of Iron county. Mr..
Hawkins needs no words of commen-
dation from the REGISTER, as he prob
ably comes as near having an ac-
quaintance with every man, woman
and child in Iron county as any man
within it's borders. Competent, and
always courteous and obliging his
friends are legion. He asks that the
voters remember him on election day.
The REGISTER this week prints the
announcement of B. P. Burnham as q
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Collector of Iron county
subject to the will of the voters at the
Primary Election in August. Mr..
Burnham has filled this Office the past
eight years and we say without fear
OF successful contradiction that the
county never had a better collector.
We doubt very much if there is bet
ter or more successful one in the en-
tire state. He has certainly accom-
plished what he was elected for-col-
lected the taxes. With this record he
will certainly be strong candidate
and a mighty hard man to displace.
Last Tuesday my good friend, Mr..
VIM. II. Webb, took compassion on
ye hungry printer and asked him out
to dinner. And mighty good, salts
flying dinner it was. 1t was close to
the noon hour when the host called in
his car and carried the three of us
Judge Dearing, Mr.. s. W. Andrews
and the writer-to his elegant resi-
dencs west of town. Shortly after
onr arrival dinner was announced and
we sat down to repast seductive to
the appetite of the normal, healthful
individual, gracefully served by the
hands of the fair hostess. Indeed, we
enjoyed it and the unassuming air OF
hospitality attending it gave zest to
the occasion. Here's health and pros
perity to our host and hostess: may
their days be long in the land!
We greatly appreciate the editorial
of Brother s. M. Brown in a recent
issue of the Word and Way. The
Home deserves all he said of it, and
more, too, irrespective of persons
mentioned in connection with it. Al
his request, we furnished the pictures
for the first page. 1t will not detract
from the worth and beautiful spirit oi
the editorial, which we are reprint,
ing in this paper, for us to say thai
the building is not of brick, but bet
/ ter still, of re- enforced concrete faced
with red granite. The walls had only
begun to rise above the ground wher
! Brother Brown was at the Home last
and the mistake might easily have
been made. The Word and Way il
helping in all our Baptist work ant
ought to be in every home. Baptis
Home.
