kind Of goods and an able body of clerks.
Rev. Pecke, of De Soto, held services in St.
Paul's Church, Ironton, last Sunday, morn
ing and evening. His able discourses were
heard by large and attentive congregations.
c. W. Tetwiler went hunting last Monday
morning, and killed deer within two miles
oftown. That was more than he accomplish
ed in his months hunt in remote regions.
This Is the boss section for every desirable
thing, we do believe.
Last Friday night was wet one. The
rain came down in torrents the whole night
long, and next day the creeks all put on the
appearance of full-grown rivers. They ran
down again as quickly, and travel was i'm
peded for q short time only.
The wife of Sanford Russell, Esq, last
Sunday morning, presented him with nice
little baby girl, and he is correspondingly
happy. Though neither party went to church
that day, we are inclined to believe it was
none the less day of Thanksgiving to them.
It is rumored that the railroad managers
have about concluded to locate a hospital
here for the care of sick and wounded en-
ployes. A better point could not be selec-
ted; for reasons which we have frequently
given, IL its health you're after, come to the
Arcadia Valley.
Sheriff Fletcher says the man who was ar
rested last week for burglarizing the Iron
ton depot is a "crank" of the first water.
There is something wrong in his Uranium,
for what profiteth it man to steal railroad
tickets without the agents stamp duly i'm
pressed thereon?
The ST. Louis Ore and Steel Company have
commenced building a dam on the creek
which runs by the furnace from the east.
The conformation Of the ground is favorable,
and, when completed, the water will be close
to the point needed. In dimensions the dam
will about equal the big dam at Iron Noun
tain.
The Herdic will resume its regular trips
between Ironton, Arcadia and Pilot Knob,
commencing next Monday. 1t will, also,
make occasional trips to the Granite Quarry.
The conveyance, while running, proved a
great convenience to the public, and we hope
its patronage in the future will be such as to
make it permanent feature of the Valley.
To Judge Russell we are indebted for
half dozen potatoes that filed peck meas
ure to overlooking; to Thos. A. Robertson,
for head of cabbage weighing twelve
pounds; and to C. w. Russell, for four sam
pie beets, the largest weighing fourteen
pounds. All are very creditable specimens
of garden truck, and we don't believe they
can be eclipsed in any section of the county
Bro. Mcclure, that gives us "clean away"
But twas not so writ by us; neither did we
know that the tortured caption had been ia
ken from the Cash Book. The exchange
from which we copied the sentence, had it
ssWhat is cur Teachers doing" and we so
rendered it, with a word or two in reference
to the need of teachers in the vicinity of
some newspaper Offices. Do you ask a more
complete amende?

A guide post which directed to Springfield

movers hitehed mules, hay in the road few
DAYS, opposite the Hinchy farm. What has
become of the board? Has its temptation
for kindling wood been too much for the
honesty of the hunting party who passed
next that way, or has the roadoverseer care
fully "gathered" it to be replaced for the
benefit of those strangers who may be COM
pelled to travel our roads this winter?
