will be pull all together until the building

| The Arcadia House Is filed to oyerfowine
with summer visitors, and every other avail
able place in the Valley has its qifantan OF
| temporary residents. With suitable accom-.
| modations, five thousand persons, as easily
as the present five hundred, city visitors
| could be induced to spend their summers in
the Arcadia Valley.
| Fl. NJ. Hoxie, third vice-President of the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rail-
| way, will spend the coming month, with his
Samily, IN Ironton. They are now domiciled
| hAye editors quondam home. Capt. r. Il.

| and circumstance permit.
Donald McAlister, being somewhat elated
through the influence, came near getting In
to the clutches Of the marshal last Saturday
evening. BOYS, that road leads only to
| trouble and expense. Walk straight, and
keep sober that We may. Like Michael LAM
bourne, swear that you twill drink nothing
save water-nothing save fair water"
An enlightened citizen of the Valley pro-
claimed on the street, last Saturday, that he
liked the Democratic national ticket very
well, but he couldn't vote for 1.-THE party
was too corrupt. When called upon to fur
,fctS 1.sn <.f, ha obi of

Star-Route thieves by Gov. Crittenden"
We are having regular cholera-breeding
weather-sultry and rainy-just such as pre-
vailed during the epidemic in st. Louis in
1S49. But for all that there is little il any
danger from 1t this year: the season Is too
far advanced. Though summer complaint,
diarrh9a and dysintery are prevalent, we
have as yet not heard of a single fatal case.
We have received a beautiful picture of
the Southern Exposition, which opens at
Louisville, KY, Aug. 10th, and continues
until Oct. 25th. The view is of the main
building, which is one of the largest Expo
sition buildings ever erected. 1t covers
thirteen acres Of ground, and will be lighted
throughout by five thousand electric lights.
The following marriage licenses have been
issued by the Circuit Clerk Of Iron County
during the past month:
Vim. falkland to Anna Scarborough.
Nathan Sheriff. to Dora Dillon.
Peter Jessen to Jane Billedo.
Thomas Mcfarland to Mary c. Belmar.
Paul Z. Reeten to Elizabeth Masters.
Henry Brewer to Eliza A. Masters.
The primary election will be held next
Saturday. Not for years has the contest
been so quiet and spir1tless. This is ac-
counted for In part by the fact that five OF
the most important positions-collector, two
county judges, treasurer and prosecuting
attorney-are not contested for. The main
interest centers in representative, but even
for that the fight is one of the most peace
able we ever knew.
j. n. Bishop has the daisiest store front
within the purlieus of the city of Ironton.
Yellow is the color that predominates, but it
is tastefuily set OF with stripping in other
shades. 1t somewhat resembleth combi-
nation of lisjointed rainbow and smoothly
frozen aurora borealis; this, however, only
to the pure-souled and poetic. We hare
heard vulgar minds liken it unto an exag-
gerated barber-pole.
The men at Pilot Knob are now working
half time-a day on and day off-but no
doubt everything will go on as before the
trouble, on the appointment Of a permanent
receiver. This will be made on the .thtproX.,
and it is now thought the position will be
given 0. L. Garrison. II SO, the selection
will be satisfactory to the men and all
whose interests are intimately connected
with the welfare of the Company.
A party of three-F. Scoville, Geo. Schultz
and J. T. Ake-went up to Iron Mountain,
fishing, last Thursday. They there had the
good luck to fall in with Col. Sypher,who ac-
companied them to the dam and spent sew
eral hours in their company. The Colonel
knows all the s'good places" and under his
guidance the party hooked fifteen mighty
fine bass. The return of the trio into Iron
ton was something after the manner of a
triumphal entry, and they haven't done with
Dragging to this day.
Jno. Ball, Of Pilot Knob, dropped his pock-
et-book containing S195, IN Richter's saloon
last Saturday. 1t was picked up by VIM.
Schwab, who gave it to q third party claim
ing # as his property. Afterward Mr.. Ball,
while making inquiries aBout his lost prop
erty, ran across Mr.. Schwab, who told him
he had found 1t, but had given it to the third
party. This led to Investigation, which re-
suited in the pocket-book and contents be-
ing restored to its lawful owner-the third
party saying he had claimed it only i'm the
way of q joke. =+ t.
Louis Ochea, sentenced to two months in
Jail for demonstrating in Reynolds county,
having completed his time, was yesterday
turned loose and shipped to Mineral Point
by Sheriff Fletcher. ochea Is only u boy,
too young for the penitentiary, or he would
be now negotiating in Jefferson City. The
sheriff bought him a ticket and saw him
safely aboard the train. His parents live In
Washington county, and it is hoped they
will keep close watch over him, for he is a
sshard nut" and takes to stealing as natural
ly rs duck to water
Some fellow, evidently In need of y new
suit of clothes-or, mayhap, in search Of
piece of dress goods for his swife-tried to
burglarize the Bonanza one night last week.
It was too tough a job for him, however,
and.after an hours unsuccessful hard work,
he knocked under aud went away. The fun
ny part Of the story lies in the fact that the
clerk who sleeps in the store heard him, lis
tened awhile, and then turned over and went
quietly to sleep! He had unlimited faith in
