1t is curious to notice how some people in
variably judge other communities by the one
they live in.
In another column will be found the notice
of basket picnic given at Middlebrook, Iron
county, No., on july 9th. A game of base
ball between two skilled mines will be played.
Good music by both IA string and brass
band. Plenty of refreshments of all kinds
will be on the grounds. An invitation is es-
peeially extended to all candidates to be
present. We can guarantee all who attend
first-class time.
Charles Carter, aged about twenty six
years, son of Tanksten: Carer, of Belleyiew,
was run over by train near Williamsville,
on the Sth inst, and insanity killed. He was
brakeman, and had been sent to the for
ward part of the locomotive, and the first
anyone knew of his dreadful fate was when
shreds of his body were seen on the rims OF
the wheels. The bereaved family are we'll
known over Iron county, and have the SYM
pathies of all.
We observe that MI. Cahoon, of Freder-
icktown, has had an interview with himself
published in Mr.. Filley's paper, the Morning
Call, st. Louis. The subject matter Of the
interview" is an onslaught upon Hon.
Thos. G.. Bayard, of Delaware. Its intend
ed to be very hard upon that pure and up
right statesman, but contains nothing near
ly so severe as Mr.. Filley's late pamphletian
excoriation of Mr.. Cahoon. How our Re-
publican friends hate "disloil" folk, and
love each other-when the fieshpots are in
question.
In the proper column this week will be
found the announcement of Mr.. Giles Rus
sell, candidate for Assessor. He is well
known to the entire voting population OF
Iron county. He has been resident of this
county ever since its organization, is well
acquainted with every rod of ground therein,
and would, If for no other reason, make
good Assessor on this account. 1t is safe to
predict no person could be found in the coun-
ty in whose hands the important duties of this
Office could be left with more certainty of
their being performed to the letter than in
those of Mr.. Giles Russells.
Prof. D. NJ. Brewer, late of New Orleans,
the great elocutionist and comedian of the
South and West, Will entertain the citizens
of our Valley at the Academy of Music,
Thursday night, July 18th, by bis two hours
of fun, new recitations, and grand vocal
display. Prof. Brewer gave one of his ex-
cellent exhibitions here about year ago,
and all who were fortunate enough to be
present then will be glad to again have an
opportunity of hearing so fine an elocutionist.
The press throughout the country are loud
in his praise. We commend him to the peo-
pie of the Valley, and hope and believe they
win turn out in force on the night named.
1t will repay them.
The young man who wants to please the
eye Of a certain young lady, the bachelor
who tries to please the eyes of all ladies, and
the married man who had better please the
eye of one certain lady, had better go to
VIM. Trauernieht's, Middebrook, to get his
dress, business, or wedding suits-which-
ever he may need-made to order. Mr.. Z.
has inst received the finest lot of goods, in
the latest styles, especially in late summer
and early fall material, ever brought to this
worn in the surrounding cities, towns and
country made by Air. Trauernicht, and the
excellent way they fit, is sufficient evidence
of his skill in fitting and Of the magnificent
line of goods he carries.
Since the failure of the anvils last Saturday
evening, several of our citizens have been
agitating the purchasing of swivel or small
cannon, to be the property Of the city, when
bought, and for the use of no particular
party or faction, but to be used upon any
occasion where it is desired to make a big
noise, or to celebrate any particular event.
A good one big enough to awaken the echoes
of the ValIey-could be bought for about
fifty dollars, or probably a little less. We
know of fifteen or twenty who have already
signifed their willingness to give dollar or
two, each, and we are confident the rest
could be raised with very little trouble. Now,
let some one of our citizens get up SUBJ
scription, and start out at once. We want
to use the gun next November.
On Thursday of last week the Jail at this
place received another inmate from Poplar
Bluff. The Citizen tells the story of his way
wardness, and how he came into the net of
the spoiler:
John Wolfe is an itinerant of evil inten-
tons. Friday he was on the pichfc grounds
armed with two pistols, which he carried in
each pocket and displayed at intervals to the
terrorized crowd. Marshal Miles and Louis
Derry went down and asked him to deliver
his arms and go with them. He went with
reluctance, was taken to the calaboose where
he remained until Tuesday, when he was
taken before Squire Melton. who fined him
$2o and costs for carrying weapons, etc.
John lacked twenty -four dollars and ninety
seven cents of having enough to pay his fine,
to say nothing of settling the costs. He was
taken back to the calaboose until Tuesday,
when sheriff Turner, escorted him to more
healthful locality on the summit of the Ozark
range, at Irouton. He now takes up his
abode in that Jail for the present. On Sun
day night Wolfe made desperate effort to
break out of the calaboose here. He sue
ceeded in saving one of the large bars of
iron used in the hinges of the heavy doors,
and had he not been discovered when he was
he very likely would soon have made good
his escape. 1t is said that Wolfe is wanted
in Illinois, and that there is large reward
cut for his arrest and detention.
We were promised a full report of the pic
mic at Iron Mountain on the 4th of July, but
for some unexplained reason our cores
pondent did not show up. We reproduce
