LOCAL BREVITIES.

LOCAL BREVITIES.
Prof. Scott is again on his feet, and the
public schools are running smoothly, rs be-
fore the holidays.
The sound of sleigh bells is occasionally
heard on our streets-more's the pity for the
family that hasn't big wood-pile.
The Arcadia Valley Teachers Association
will not meet till Saturday, February I'd.
Then it is desired to have 4 full attendance

Cakes Bros. Comedy Troupe at he Acad-
envy of Music on Friday night of this week.
If You want an evening of fun and polite en-
tertainment, go and see them.
Thank goodness and the struggling beams
Of Old Sol, the weather is moderating. We
don't fancy a breeze that forces the mercury
down clear out of sight.
The Fort Hill Church was broken INFO last
"Wednesday night, but we do not hear that
anything was taken therefrom. Probably
tramps, who wanted good, warm room to
sleep in.
Frozen noses, earses, and toeses, have
been plentiful during the past week. Hap
PLY ours were too voluminous, and the
northern breezes couldn't strike clear
through, but only played along the outer
edges.
We thank the De Soto Waterman for this
good word: "The Ironton REGISTER has 4
new cylinder press. The publisher of the
REGISTER is enterprising, wide-awahe man
and publishes one of the best country papers
in the state"
The old and we'll known house of S. Lopez
has changed its firm name. 1t is now Il. s.
Lopez s Sons-a proper change, since "the
boys' have proven themselves amply COM
petent to run even rs extensive abusiness as
theirs. We wish them continued success.
There is no trouble in getting ice this Win
ter; and we trust the ice men will not forget
next summer the inconvenience the remain
der of us have patiently submitted to in or
der that the crop might be fine and large.
Forty cents a hundred, gentlemen, is all that,
as good christians, you can ask. Now don't
it?
Rev. A. W. Wright now is domiciled in the
house lately occupied by w. w. Nall. 1t is
quite "handy" to the Presbyterian church,
and ought to be bought and attached as a
parsonage. Mr.. Wright moved last We'd
nesday, pretty cold day for a ''f1ittin," we
thought; but he no doubt afterward congrat-
ulated himself that he had not delayed until
Saturday.
Bro. Batterton, of the Poplar Bluff Citizen,
was i'm Ironton last week, and of course call
ed to see us. He is one of the best newspa-
per men in this section, and his paper shows
it. He says, as soon as the proper arrange
ments can be made, he will buy Il larger
press and then increase the size of the Citizen
to a 6-col. quarto. The Bluff is a live place,
and will no doubt give plenty encourage
ment to the proposed improvement.
Cakes Bros. Comedy Troupe ut the Acad- |
envy of Music on Friday night. A late num-
Der of the Iowa City Press says: 'To say
that all are pleased with the Cakes Bros
entertainment would but feeDly express The |
general opinion of their audience. Iowa
City, since we have had the new opera house, |
sees the best of entertainments, and is given
TO criticism, so that an exhibition must be
good to win applause, and nothing that ev-
er came here was somuch applauded as this.
We hope they will mark us high in their
lists for their next tour

ming, NJ. Z. church: Friday evening, Fort

Last Saturday was the coolest day We edi-
tor ever experienced in Ironton. Some folks
saw that New Years Day, 1864, when the
writer was off to the wars, was as cold or
colder: that a number of troops then sta
toned here had their limbs frozen, while |
the suffering amcng the refugees was fear
full. But we opine, If there had been big |
lot of people in the Valley last Saturday no |
better prepared against the freeze, the cold |
10 them would have proved equally intense. |
Re that as it may, we don't want to see the |
mercury get any lower-30 degrees minus |
will do for any winter known to Southeast |
Missouri. /
