n slight wreck disturbed Arcadia's rail-
road circle last Sunday night. A baggag- car
going south, got partly off the track. Nose
rious damage was done, and, after little
work and good deal of pious ejaculation,
the train went on its way.
The revival at the ". E. Church, North,
ended last Saturday-owing, in some degree,
to the temporary indisposition of the pastor,
Rev. J. Marlatt. Mr.. NJ. is good man, i
forcible and eloquent preacher, and highly
esteemed by his congregation.
Sunday and Monday were bright and
-springike. A soft southern breeze temper
ed the air and tempted everybody from out

overcast and the briefvie of the early COM

depressing. So he cen came to Ironton.

pose making Pilot Knob the headquarters
for Southeast Missouri and Northern Arkan-

The streets and sidewalks Of the little city
of Ironton are in a horrible condition, and
no mistake. Let there be general over
hauling and repairing soon the wealth
.er permits. The sidewalks are especially
bad, and last SUNDAY, when the frost was out
the ground, were we'll nigh impossible. We
hope no strangers passed down Main street
that afternoon.
