On the first page of this paper will be found the schedule of prizes and regulations governing the Bazaar and Fair to be given by St. Paul's church next December. The farmer who has wheat to 6ell during the next month or bo will wonder what has become of the 1 a bushel the McKinley rooters have been blowing about the past lew months. A game of ball was inaugurated at Arcadia Sunday, but wasn't finished, owing to some misunderstanding between the umpire and one of the play-era. Merely the old question of '-out or not out?"

State Bank Exarjiner Oldham took charge of the Farmers' and Merchants' Back at Piedmont Wednesday. It is said the depositors will not lose a cent. there being plenty of funds on band to pay every deposit in full. Hundreds of thousands have been induced to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy by reading what it has done for others, and having tested its merits for themselves are to-day its warmest friends. For sale by the Arcadia Valley Drug Store.

Time and again the Register has called attention to the fact that a num ber of small boys in this town make a habit of jumping off and on moving trains as they pass the station. It is only rare good fortune that an accident hasn't occurred before row. Some vig orous means should be adopted to put stop to the practice before it is too late. Of all the thieves the timber thief beats them all when it comes to nerve ana gau. ne appropriates tne prop erty of another with a nerve that is as refreshing as a summer shower, and apparently prides himself on the fact that he is reaping what others have sown! 'lis a pitv that some of the of fenders can't have justice duly meted out to them.

It would have a most wholesome effect. While in St. Louis Tuesday, Mayor Edgar called on Superintendent Peck to see if that gentleman couldn't be induced to have the south-bound Memphis train at night stop at Ironton on Sag. As soon as the matter was placed before the Superintendent he promptly issued an order to have the train stop at this station. So, in future, all who desire to take the 6cuth-bound train at night can board the train at this sta tion.

Government bonds can now be ob tained at any postoffice in the United Slates from this date until July 14th, 2898, which ends the length of time. The coupon bonds are in denominations of 20, $100, $500, 1000. $5000 and $10000. Registered bonds in same denominations. Interest paid in ad vance from the date of the bond until August 1st at the rate of three per cent.

After that they will carry their own interest. Columbus Cooley, a sable-hued in-ividual, who has figured quite exclu- ively in the justice's court the past few months, was before Squire Fair- child again Wednesday morning on the complaint oi his mother-in-law, Malinda Whitener, who charged him with disturbing the peace. The defendant pleaded guilty and was fined 1 and costs. Not having the money to liquidate, Columbus now languishes durance vile. The summer millinery season will soon close, and Lopez's wish to impress the fact on the minds of those ladies who have not yet bought a summer hat or bonnet that now is the lime to secure a bargain in summer headwear.

Tho stock embraces everything new and novel, and the assortment is complete in every line. The lady who is in need of millinery is certain to be pleased if she calls at Lopez's. And the prices they are all right. The girls' sewing class, known as the (Juild of St. Agnes, recently organized in connection with St.

Paul's S. will make their first effort in the way of entertainment on Tuesday evening next. They will give a lawn social in the grounds adjoining the church. Ice-cream and the usual refreshments will be on sale at 5 o'clock and guests are invited to attend from that hour until 9 o'clock. It is hoped that liberal patronage will be extended to the young people in their endeavor to help their church in this way.

Chas. T. Sykes died at his home in De Soto June 21st. 1S98, at 5:30 o'clock a. M.

Mr. Sykes' death was sudden; he had not been in good health for several months. A year or more ago. It is understood he met with an accident injuring his spine. Since then he has not been well, but of late was thought to be improving.

Monday night, however, he had a severe attack, and a physician was summoned. After a time the patient seemed relieved, and said he was feeling better again. About five o'clock the following morning. Mrs. Sykes observed that he was suffering again, but before a physician could arrive he was dead.

The deceased was well-known in the Valley, having been a conductor on one of the pushers here twenty years ago. The remains were brought here Wednesday, and the funeral took place from the Arcadia depot, the Masonic fraternity conducting the services. The Register extends assurance of sympathy to the bereaved family. i Nelson Campbell of Marble Creek was in town the first of the week and made complaint before Justice Fair-child that a few days before two sons of Richard Callison had disturbed a religious congregation. A warrant was issued and the defendants were in court Wednesday.

It seems that the disturbance was a quarrel between Callison's boys and Campbell's boy. None of the trio was over fifteen years of age, and on the defendants pleading guilty the Squire fined them $1 and costs. Our good friend, H. M. Collins, entertained a few special friends Wednesday evening the occasion being Mr.

C's forty-second birthday. Mrs. Collins had provided a most delightful spread to which the guests did full justice. The evening passed most pleasantly. On leaving for home the expression was unanimous that the host might live to celebrate the century mark and ever have his good wife with him to provide cheer and entertainment for the favored guests! Health, wealth and happiness to you and yours, Mr.

Collins! The following from the Poplar Bluff Herald is in veferenco to a damage suit against the city of Poplar Bluff that was once tried in the Circuit Court here: "The case of Jay Ray vs. the city of Poplar Bluff was decided in Dexter Saturday. Ray alleges that his wife and child fell through the bridge and were drowned, several years ago. He sued the city separately for the loss of his wife and child, claiming $5,000 damage in each case. The jury in the case tried to-day awarded him damages to the amount of $2,500, from which decision the defendant The entertainment in Judge Emerson's park and residence on Tuesday evening in connection with St.

Paul's church was favored with fine weather, but the attendance of the general public was not large. A quartet played a selection of music in the pagoda in the earlier part of the evening with good effect, and later on those assembled in the house were favored with a programme of music and recitations of the Misses Pike. Their performance was of a high order in all respects, and was very highly appreciated by all. Mrs. O'Brien very kindly volunteered to fill up a gap and rendered two songs very artistically during the evening.

For spveral weeks past the shavings from Baldwin's hub factory have been unloaded west of the causeway and along the side of the creek south of the bridge between here and Arcadia. They were put there, it is understood, in the belief that they would prevent the washing out of the roadway with each recurring freshet. In some way or other the shavings got on fire last Sunday, and for several hours, the heat and smoke rendered the road almost impassable, causing no little inconvenience to people who attempted to pass that way. The wind was from the north and the smoke was exceedingly annoying to the people in the south all day long; in fact the fire smouldered for several dajs and as late as Tuesday night, the smoke over the road was almost blinding. Steps should be taken to prevent a recurrence of the nuisance.

This number of the Refister completes its thirty-first volume. The first issue was dated July 6th, 1867. and the apparent gain of one week is accounted for by the intervening leap-years and the odd day of the ordinary year minus the occasional lapse of a number during the holidays, as was the practice among the craft twenty years ago a custom now more honored in the breach than in the observance. A good many things have taken place in those thirty-one years some for good, and some for ill, and some to no particular purpose (that the human eye can see) in the economy of nature. But the sands of time have never ceased to run, and to-day finds our head whitened, our cheeks wrinkled, and our pen-hand a-quiver, with the final trump very much nearer calling distance.

So runs the world away from him who has seen his sixth lus trum tnat the succeeding years seem as evanescent as the passing breeze, and like it ladened with the songs of joy and sorrow now with the concord of sweet sounds, and anon disturbed with noises jangled out of tune. But the sun still brightly shines and the world is fair to look upon. Therefore, the Register sends greeting to its younger brethren and will strive not to envy them their youthful days and hopeful hearts. The Register regrets that the citizens of the Valley have as yet taken no steps looking toward a suitable celebration of the day every American loves and venerates. While it is true that the deep feeling of patriotism which conserves and perpetuates the nation needs not the roll of drum, the blast of bugle, the reverberation of can non, nor the laudation of oratory, yet the bringing together of the people that they may have fraternal interchange is not without advantage.

Just at this time the remembrance of the virtues and the Eacrifices of the Fathers must strike the heart with redoubled force, and the glories of the Republic's early days give firmer resolve to the nation engaged in deadly strife with an enemy whose blood-strewn footsteps have ever led away from the haven of freedom and justice; whose very being is synonymous with a despotism and oppression more heartless and cruel than aught we read of in fabled horrors. To give tangible expression to our feelings is to encourage the patriotic souls who, as did their 6ires, abandon the pleasing ease of peaceful life and go forth to encounter the perils of the ensanguined field and the miasm of the tropical swamp. The shouts of America's millions assembled about Freedom's holy shrine will ring out and beyond our shores to Cuba's fair isle, and yet beyond to the Pacific-beleaguered Philippines, carrying cheer to the brave hearts there upholding the cause ot liberty. Then, as the poet says, let. With drum and fife and gleaming blade, The columned lines, in steady tread, Sweep broadly down the streets of trade, Old Glory flying overhead Up, every man to freedom bred And draw a fuller, deeper breath; It is the Nation's shibboleth! John Mabry of Poplar Bluff was the guest of Miss Sadia Gilliam Sunday and Monday miss Katie Brierton of Festus spent several days of the past week in Iron ton with her brother.

Institute Notes. Belleview, June 20, 1898. The Institute is progressing nicely under the able management of Messrs. Hawkins and Wilkinson. The principal exercises, so far, have been oral discussions on subjects of vital importance to teachers.

The Enrollment exceeds forty now, and as there will be no certificates endorsed this year, more are expected within a few days. We, as teachers, are proud that we have a Commissioner who believes in using home talent first. The good people of Belleview are sociable and entertaining, which is highly appreciated. Quite a number of the lady teachers board at Mr. Cartv'rf.
