Our attention was called to the portrait of
young lady, done by Paul p. Hinehey, of
Arcadia. 1t Is sample of his $1,000 pastel
pictures-that price including frame and
glass. These pictures are very durable. and

Last Friday night Mr.. W. G.. Fairchild's
summer MISUNDERSTANDING apart from the
house-waS burglariously entered and a ham,
a lot of flour, and some lard were stolen
therefrom. Entrance was also made into the
dwelling proper, but nothing was taken from
it. The same night Mr.. G. ID. Marks lost, in
the same way, several jars of preserves and
a roll of butter. VIM. b. Newman also suf-
fered to the extent of oat-and, no doubt,
other places are yet to hear from. 'Tis
pity the midnight marauders do not run
against a double barreled shot gun, heavily
loaded, in the hands of good marksman.
Blythe way, Fairchild is the man the thieves
always 'strike for ham''-this being the
third time in the past year he has risen to
find his layout for breakfast gone where he
woodbine twineth. Let us trust he consoled
himself in this last instance with the refiec-
ton that it was Good Friday, anyway.
Gosh. Jewhillikers!. What does the
Bollinger county's Peoples Press man want
that he can't get, and who has unfortunately
''throd on his coat-tail,' that he should spew
out the following bile:
Self-important Iron county is ever willing
to sacrifice her Isaacs upon the altar of her
country. She is just now endeavoring to
make martyr of her blatant, bantam self
by offering up host of her patriots who are
even willing to be choked to death with the
public teat. Fortunately for that breezy
county such dOndti0 morris cduSd is one of
the mdtd prOhi6ita. And even if this were
not SO, there are too many fools in Wash
ington to accept such sacrifice. And when
all the others had been cast together they
contained not so many as this one (lron
county, did.
Now, we can get along reasonably wei,
with brother who uses even very harsh
English; but when Mr.. Finney slings broad
side of denunctatory dead language at poor
Iron, her people must succumb, and can only
surrender at discretion. But, hold! Per-
haps it's dynamite Irish the Press bombards
us with. Ayaunt the horrible thought!
The Missouri Republican had a long article
one day last week, showing the advantages
of Cape Girardeau as location for the
Branch Penitentiary. The principal of these
was its close location to the iron mines of
Southeast Missouri. Now, Cape Girardeau
is by rail hundred miles distant from these
mines, while Ironton is right on the ground.
In addition. we claim that Arcadia Valley
has all the other advantages which the Cape
can claim, and beside is much more health
full and better fitted for the institution.
Communication is easy and rapid in every
direction, and we are In the Sta of Missouri
deau is not to be found fault with in trying
to get all it can for itself; but we insist that
neither justice nor the good of the State
would be subserved by giving that city the
preference. he Normal School it has-we
don't believe in giving the river counties the
earth, and we know the interior of Southeast
Missouri has already suffer q too great slight
in the awarding of public benefits. 1t is
time to make change.
