Snteredin the PostoSce at Ironton, Ke.,u second class matter. E. D. AKE. Editor. Volume XXVIII. Numbeu 22. IRONTON, HO. THURSDAY. NOV. 20. 1894. LOCAL BREVITIES. Summer still cloga the step3 of Win ter. All the wells are goinjr dry, and still the drought continues. Sea Bonanza's now ad. It offers great bargains in several instances. Two weldings, early next .month, promise to break the monotony of so ciety affairs in the Valley. Lopez's shipped a seven-dozen lot of turkeys to St. Louis last Monday, to fill the void at many a Thanksgiving table. Thanksgiving Services at M. E. Church, Ironton. Thursday morning at 10:30. Preaching by Rev, J. mT England. All are cordially invited. Will the members of the Christian Endeavor remember that nest Sabbath evening is Consecration Service, and all be there to make the meeting a success? To-morrow is Thanktgiving day, and the Register wishes to e?ery one of its readers a good dinner and the ability to return thanks with a grate ful and sincere heart. A social surprise party was given at the residence of Mrs. T. Johnson, No vember 24, 1894, in honor of her daughter. Miss Nellie. A very pleas ant evening was spent. Lopez's encroach on our space this vo.ek to the extent of five columns. It is a big ad., and offers great induce ments, bat the facts in the case will sustain its asseverations. "iVe find this item in a late issue of the Cape Girardeau Democrat: '-It is rumored that our old friend. Dr. T. F. C. James, of Ironton, is soon to es pouse a charming widow of forty sum mers." The K. P. have made arrangements with Mr. Fauger, a first class costumer, of St. Louis, for masks and costumes. Parties wanting costumes will leave orders, as soon as possible, with Jake Lopez, so as to get a good choice. Judge J. W. Emerson, of Ironton, Mo., came down last evening and is Ihe guest of his friend J. S. Jordan at the St. James. The Judge will try his hand with the rod and line before returning. Corning, (Ark.,) Courier. In the "Society" column of last Sun day' Post-Dispatch appeared the fol lowing announcement: "The marriage of Mr. T. K. Francis to Miss Martha C. Jones, daughter of Dr. II. M. Jones of Ironton, Mo., will take place the latter part of December." The show at the Academy of Music last Wednesday evening was good, and we unqualifiedly commend to our neigh boring towns the Ferri3 Comedians. They are away above the average, and -xis' square in their dealings as they are excellent behind the footlights. Is it a fact that a regular, every-day-suul-night crap room has been fitted up in a building down town, right under the eaves of the .Temple of Justice? We were about to ask that the author ities determine whether it is so. or not but, alas! outside of bnerin fish er, whom is there to call upon? If the prevailing epidemic dipthe ria? is the result of the bad sanitary condition of this town, then the whole country from east to west, from north to south, from centre to circumference must be, samtarially speaking, in a most deplorable plight. The Ironton smelling committee in order to oversee noxious things in all their ranifications will have to make Wandering Jews of themselves. On Friday evening, November 33th, there will be given an entertainment by the pupils of Ironton Public School, jit the Academy of Music. The pro ceeds of the entertainment will be ap propriated to the purchase of suitable books for a "school library." It is hoped .friends and patrons of the school will be present. Exercises will consist of reading, recitations, songs and spelling contest. Two prizes are to be given to first and second best spellers. Patronize a good cause.

In this.isftue is printed a reply from Rev. Crow, P. E-, to our item of last week concerning the material status of certain ministers at present and in times past in charge of the M. E. Church of Ironton. We do not desire to make our extended rejoinder to the Rev. gentleman's communication, and will only reiterate the statement that for years past the pastors placed in their turn in charge of tho church named have had a hard time in mak ing temporal ends meet. Rev. Browd er aid tell Rev. Hurley as follows: "If I were in your place I would turn my members over to the Fort Hill Church, auu jiss-tju io De relieved and given another charge." Ask Bro. Hurley if he didn't (By the way, no complaint has been made to us by Bro. Hurley; ne Knew nothing of last week's item uniu u, was primed.) ftlr. tl. did say within the past three months that he had received from his Ironton members just $13.50. Rev. Trimble came here destitute, sick, and was without the necessaries to sustain life until reliev ed by persons outside his church. He obtained, in the first instance at least. the money necessary to take him away from here, from another institution than the church. We know whereof we speak. Rev. Hormel, the P. E. says, reported having recoived, while here, $400. We know that Mrs. H., in that time, taught in the public school at Annapolis twenty miles away and ho tried to turn an honest penny in the way of selling organs. Rev. Heaton, here before either of the other named ministers, relieved the necessities of his condition by teaching the Graniteville public school. Rev. Thomas, while in charge, worked in the blacksmith shop. Beiog "well taken care of," we presume he did it to exercise his muscle and kill time all too slowly passing. Now, all these people may have been "well taken care or' by the church; if they were, was it right for them to filch from the church the tim9 taken up in their oth er pursuits? Our first item in this con nection wa3 inspired by sympathy for those who we thought we had suffi cient reason to believe were often in straightened if not destitute circum stances. We are glad to know that this sympathy wa3 wasted, nor do we regret the substantial manner in which it may have sometimes been ex pressed. As to the evangelists' set time of departure, and the alleged cause of its alleged putting off, the gentleman who solicited us for aid may have been In error, and we are willing to let it go at that. A Nuisance. Ed. Register For the last ten days a drovj of cattle has btjen rendezvous ing on the streets nnd sidewalks around the courthouse square, readering'them unsafe at night, and unfit for anyone to walk on during the day. Ia fact, the south side of the square looks like n barnyard, and smells like one. Who owns the cattle? Is there no ordi nance to prevent people from making a stock yard of our streets and side walks? CiTi.EK. Ironton, Nov. 2G, 1394. Are the Election Laws Violated? 3r. Editor Do you not think it high time that tho election laws were en forced against thoso who so persistently and wilfully violate them? In the late primary election it said that, at one precinct at least,and may hap others, a certain judge took ad vantage of the illiteracy oi voters oy going Into tho booth with them to make out their tickets and afterward boasted that fifteen or twenty of tbom voted as he (the said judge) desired they should. In the general election it is said that a certain judge would go into the booth with the elector and there electioneer expostulate with him to vote for cer tain candidates. At still another and important precinct it is stated on good authority that two judges, a bolting DamoeraX and a Republican, would take the ballot boxta into another room from that in which lh election was being held and there, away from the other judges, would examine the bal lots and cast up the vote. Is auoh conduct as this what the law contemplates? and if not will you kind ly suggest a remedy.toatthe people in in future may know their rights? X. Rev. Crow Affirms and Denies. . Ed. Register. Let me call your at tention to some incorrect statements in your notice of "Revival at M. E.. Church," last week; and we hope you will allow the same to be corrected through your paper. The evangelists deny being detained a day that funds might be raised to send them away. They just staid their time, and they were reasonably well paid for their services. Rev. Browder says he did not advise the pastor to disband his church members. His "good common sense" as a Meth odist minister would not allow him to make such a blunder. Rev. Hurley can have a change in the proper way when he desires it. The story of star vation is overdrawn and false, to say tho least of it. We have before us the minutes containing the reports of sal aries received by pastors of the charge for the last ten years, made out and signed by the pastors. These reports show the salaries range for this period of time from $277 to $qS5, with house rent free. We admit thesa are small salaries, but Method ist preachers do not starve their families even 09 such small sums. Rev. Hormel, the incumbent of last year, is one mentioned in the article. He received over $ 400, according to his own report. Rev. Trimble re ceived money from the mission fund to pay his moving expenses. His sick ness was a misfortune, and the conse quences of the same could not bo avoid ed. Rev. Hurley has $300 pledged to him by the churches of Ironton and Graniteville, and $30 from the mission fund. Of those amounts he has re ceived from the churches for eight months of the year about $150, and $60 from the mission fund, and house rent free, against $13.50 as stated in thg article. This statement does not suffer, fcojrever. in comparisou with 11 xl . ... gard to facts. . P, E.-can sympathise with poorly paid pastors, as about all of them have had some experience along the same line. The P. E. of the Lebanon district was the pastor of Ironton charge two years doing the period of low average salaries, and the P. E. of Farmington district had for ten years a Jike experience. The Ironton charge receives help from the missionary fund every year, along with all other weak charges and no pastor in the M. E. church who does his duty need fear of lack of support during his lime of active ser vice, or of neglect in old age, or that if he dies in the work, that his wife and children will not be cared for. We hope yon will see that your sour ces of information in regard to this are not reliable, and that you will allow this matter to be set right before the public. Yours, for truth and fairness Sincerely, D. M. Crow, P. E. Farmington District. Close the School- Ikoxton, Mo., Nov. 30, 1894. Ed. Register I heartily acrree with you in your suggestion last week that it would be the proper thing to close the Public Schools for a few weeks The prevalence of diptheria among the children seems to make it imperative on the part of the Board to take this step as a proper sanitary precaution .The course of the disease for the past few months indicates beyond doubt that it will run through the entire school before it abates. There is no place so prolific in propagating this malady as crowded and poorly venti lated rooms, l am informed that one physician at least says it would soon wear out if the schools were stopped and children kept from congregating. Besides,it would be no serious draw- back to the schools which, if continu ed, would end the present term the lat ter part of April; and if stopped for a month they would close the last of May, and May is a better school month than any month between this and that date. The good of this community de mands that the schools close and the Board should govern themselves ac cordingly. It disorganizes classes and embar rasses children to stay out while others are regular in attendance, and both parents and children will risk a great deal rather than have the children fall behind in their classes. By closing for a few weeks all risk will be avert ed and no one injured. Respectfully, Parent and Patron. Arcadia News- Arcadia is on the improve. Joe.

Mcrpht. From Burgundy. Burgundy comes again, but on the war-path! Sirous Minor and and Jas. Strick land, both of Iron county, had some difficulty over a piece of land and came together like two Inguns, and Minor cut J. S. severely about the shoulder, reaching the scapular bone, causing bad wound. So James swore out warrant for his assailant, but he is not arrested at this time, but likely will be soon. By the way, we will have a lit tie law suit before Esq. Henderson. Such is life, if old Iron county does have to suffer financially. J. T. Patterson of Clones has just completed a large and well finished dwelling house. So our correspond ent of the past can't say that Mr. Pat terson just lacks one in living outside. as his house is about five-inch wall. Mr. John H. Trollinger of Clones has a large barn under swift headway By the way, we have some enterpris ing men in our country yet. Thos. Cureton of Burgundy has his school under control now, and every pupil doing good work. h.sq. Henderson nas completed a first-class new shed, for the purpose of shedding his stock.
