The Military.

On Tuesday morning of last week about
one hundred citizens of the Valley mounted
their fiery steeds, and, preceded by the l. c.
B., marched to the northern confines Of the
town, to receive and welcome the st. Louis
their way to Ironton.
The expected forces did not arrive until
about noon, when the whole column moved
dow n Main street to Sylvan Lake, the camp
ing ground. Here the military guests were
CHARTERED under the grateful shade trees
which beautify the grounds surrounding
Judge Emerson's palatial residence, and
they were left to rest and refresh themselves
their citizen escort returning to their re-
spective homes.
In the afternoon, at six O'Clock the cavalry
and artillery turned out to drill and exercise,
and for an hour the parade ground was the
centre of attraction to our people-to many
of whom, however, military evolutions were
by no means new. The mills Of the gods
which ground out so much misery and tur-
moil twenty odd years ago, had rendered
such scenes painfully familiar to many of
us older folk; but to the rising generation
the scenes of Tuesday were novel and Pc
culiarly interesting.
In the evening, at eight O'Clock, was held
the grand reception at Sylvan Lake, and the
largest crowd we ever saw on those grounds,
assembled from all parts of the Valley.
The grounds wsre profusely Illuminated,
and the reflections Of the thousand lights
upon the surface Of the lake was beautiful
beyond expression. Thousands OF persons
wandered through the grove and over the
yerdant, well-kept lawn; gallant squires and
fair danes in their best apparel gave addi-
tional charm to the brilliant scene, while the
P. X. and I. C. Bs. did their level best to
enhance the enjoyment Of the occasion.
The formal reception was given within the
elegant residence, and the parlors were fill
ed to overfiowing all the evening.
At the usual hour, the crowd dispersed,
and by midnight "the lights were out, the
curtain down, and the hall deserted"
Next day, at in the afternoon, the mill
tary visitors departed In driving rain fol
Fredericktown-haying first shipped thei'
gun and caisson by rail. It is well they tool
that prudent step, since we learn that theil
forage wagon broke through q rotten bridge
over in Madison. Ii the artillery had gone
"by land" where would it have been?
To Judge Emerson, on behalf OF the com
munity, we return thanks for the use OF his
grounds, and for the manner in which hi
prepared them for the occasion.

MARRIED.-At the residence OF the brides
parents, in St. Louis, Mo. on July LIST, 1885,
by Rev. --, Mr.. PAUL GARNER to Miss
ELIZA TRENT.
Mr.. GARNER is one of Ironton's "boys,"
and all his old acquaintances here, we are
sure, will join with us in wishing good luck
to him and his fair bride. Paul Is an artisan
of no small merit, and starts out in married
life with as fair prospects for success as his
best friends should desire. That the future
will justify these expectations is as sure as
things mundane can be.
Paul GARNER, ST., of Ironton, and Miss
Celine GARNER, of Eureka Springs. Ark,
father and sister of the groom, were present

Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Patton desire to thank

Mr.. FINLEY, the Freder1ckt0wn postmaster,
must have felt the axe dropping, for Mr..
Clardy received a telegram this afternoon
announcing that he had resigned.
Donkey-riding for children has been quite
popular here for few weeks past, and a
livery man has two of the long cared animals
devoted to that purpose; but last Sunday
was an unfortunate day for this sort of pleas
uring. A little son and daughter Of w. A.
Fletcher rode one OF these animals Sunday
evening, and had a good time until their
beast of burden spied its companion about a
square distant, travelling at right angles with
its own course. A donkey is an innocent
looking quadruped, but we believe its self
will has never been questioned. The animal
in question is no exception to the rule; he
wanted to join his companion, and, as his
riders were of another way of thinking, he
threw them of, and went his way. The boy
was not hurt, but the little girl struck the
ground violently and was rendered insensi.

The painting called Sunset at Gettys-
burg." representing a portion of the old
battlefield. now the burial place of over
three thousand of the brave heroic dead
of that famous battle, is great help to
the listener, and adds much to the inter-
est OF the lecture. Rev. Stanley is apleas-
ing speaker. using very clear and concise
language to express his ideas. and beside
the lecture matter itself which every pa
triot should hear, he embellishes the whole
with many touching and thrilling Incl
dents cleaned while present upon the old
battle field last summer. He is, by re-
quest to repeat this lecture soon in our
city, and we would say to all: Go and
hear this soldier tell the story of his
brother soldiers, who fought and died on
the field of honor that this nation might
be saved.

procession begins to move. Amos Hill
