|. Mr.. w. II. Thomson's team is gaining a
reputation. 1t ran away again last week,
but, we are happy to say, again, no one was
hurt, and no damage done, although this
occasion had by far the most serious posi-
bilities. The wagon was this time filed with
little children. The team was scared near
the Pilet Knob crossing by a passing engine.

asm"-early i'm the morning, Saturday, pro-
ceeded to state Morse's views OH prohibi-
ton and give his own opinion of the two cam
didates and their ability, in u manner entire
ly unsatisfactory to our quiet, peace loving
citizens. After being several times request
ed by the Marshal to reflect, use milder Ian
guage, fewer demonstrations, etc., and re-
fusing, he was walked off to the "cooler,"
where, after night spent in reflection and in
''cooling down." no doubt he found cut that
neither Morse, Morse money, Morse whiskey
nor Morse's prohibition views could carry
Iron county for Morse.

A game of base ball was played last Friday
afternoon at Arcadia, between a nine from
Ironton and the Arcadias. The playing on
both sides was poor, especially the fielding
of the Arcadia nine. The fielding of the
Ironton club was very fair, considering the
fact the nine had no practice. The nine who
went to Arcadia had not praGticed togethera
single time when they went over, and what,
with no practice, fearful hot weather, and
none of the boys being used to that much
work in hot sun, the Ironton boys were
beaten. But let us say to the Arcadia boys,
a two weeks practice and they will be very
apt to make it as hot for you as the weather
was for them last Friday.
