II. ID. Colby and c. A. Smith, in the in.
! terest of Lorillard, of New York, were in
lronton Monday and Tuesday, advertising

| new brand to which they devote their atten-
| ton. Tuesday afternoon they paraded the
streets of Ironton, Pilot Knob and Arcadia.
Two Knights Of the Red Cross, in full armor
were in the procession. Their dress was
superb, and no doubt were truthful repre-
sensations of the full panoplied knight of ye
olden time.
Attention is directed to the advertisement
of the Syenite Granite Company's Store, at
Granitevile, which is published in this
paper. The store is run OH square business
principles, and the Company guarantees to
sell cheap as the cheapest. Country pro-
duce is solicited, and farmers will find it an
excellent market for all that they have to
sell; while experience will demonstrate that
the return given them will be rs ample as
anywhere in the county. The clerks will
give customers their best attention.
Tuesday night of last week, DIR. Sawyer,
of Pilot Knob, came down and attended the
meeting of the Literary Social Club, which
held its session that time at DR.. Princes
residence. He came down horseback, and
hitched his horse in front Of DR.. Farrar's
office. When the meeting adjourned the
DR.. jumped on his horse to return, but In
about two jumps he found himself lying on
the ground. Either the girth came I'M
buckled, or had been loosened by some
miscreant. Although somewhat bruised,
the rider, after replacing the saddle, again
mounted and proceeded on his way.
The ''box sociable" at the Academy of
Music last Thursday evening, was converted
into regular festival, and was as such i
complete success. The net receipts, We I'M
derstand amounted to $42. A special invi-
tation was issued to the editor to come and
get his dinner, and he complied-when, in
deed, was he known to decline such re-
quest? Right here he would like to say
something mighty nice to the ladies, If he
knew how; but he can't express himself,
and they must take, in lien of all he would
say, his simple thanks. The dinner was
excellent, and exceedingly was it enjoyed.
Once for alive are not responsible for the
sayings and opinions of our correspondents.
We endeavor, at all times, to prune them,
however, of anything of an obnoxious perso-
nal nature, or slanderous insiuuation, when
necessary. Still, an occasional sentence Civ
ing offence i,rW creep in, in the hurry Of
"making up" When such is the case, the
public sees it: but it does not see the numer-
Gus instances where the careful pruning hand
of the editor has interviewed and Topped off
obnoxious words and sentences. Therefore,
we trust that our friends will at all times
Judge us through our own lucubrafions and
neither give us credit nor blame for what may
appear in the correspondents column. JUS
tice will thus be rendered to all.
The entertainment given by the Young
Ladies' Of the Presbyterian church on last
Thursday evening was financial success.
Although the weather was very unfavorable
a good company was in attendance, and the
supper, tropical fruits and confectioneries-
all offered ut very reasonable rates-indnced
liberal patronage; but good supply of pro-
vision remaining over, lunch was adver-
tised for Thursday noon.
When the crumbs were swept up and pro-
ceeds counted it was found that, after pay
ing all expenses incurred, there remained
$32. 80.
The result is highly satisfactory to the
Society and their appreciation of friendly
assistance and patronage is indicated by the
minute:
Resolved, That we the members Of the |
Young Ladies Missionary Society of the |
Church do hereby tender our
thanks to 1st, to the friends who generously |
in aid Of the entertainment; and |
I'd to those who by their presence and patron. |
age assisted in making the occasion the pleas
ant success 1t proved to be.
MRS. A. w. WRIGHT, Pres't.
