Our young friend, IRELAND Divel, spent
last Sunday in he city of st. Louis. He's
gone up, boys, for a fact!
We see Bro. Smith takes TO himself the
credit Of the serubbiug oui Of the Academy
of Music. All right! Now, can't he turn
his squirt gun ON the H aid Office?
On last Monday NOR hing two of Ironton's
fairest, with two of the Knobs most gallant
beaux, descended the Simpson Shaft-being
the first gentlemen to accompany ladies
down the Shaft.
Col. T. B. Grigsby has received the con-
tract for carrying the mails from the depot
at Arcadia to the post Office. There lie no
night-work, and no maii-erane to bother,
oyer there, and the Col. thinks his new job
much pleasanter than the old in Ironton.
DR.. A. II. Sawyer is now resident of
Ironton. The last load of truck, including
the wife and babies, was hauled down Mon
day evening. The new residence is in the
Rodach building on Knob Street. The family
is well known to our people who extend to
its members cordial welcome.
Mr.. L. II. Wilson, the polite and gentle
manly photographer, is located at Greenville
(for time). Anyone wishing work done in
his line, will do we'll to give him q call. His
work speaks for itself. We have done BUSH
ness with Mr.. Wilson, and find him very
prompt, and perfect gentleman.
The x. of Fl. Picnic at Goulding's Park
last Thursday was rs pleasant an affair as
we ever attended. We had intended giving
. full account, but, as our readers may see,
we are crowded out of house and home, so
to speak, and can say but a word. The ar
rangements were we'll perfected, the lecture
of Mr.. Kinsey was good, and the day pleas
ant. All enjoyed themselves. An account
of the base ball game is given elsewhere.
Bro. Hotson will accept our kindest re-
CARDS for q box of that rarest of fruits this
season-peaches. They were very fine, and
eorrespondingly enjoyed. We learn that Mr..
Hotson receives the fruit from one of the
southern counties, fresh from time to time,
a the demand warrants. He sells as low as
Is possible under the circumstances, and
since this Is about their only chance, the
people Of the Valley will no doubt require
all he can bring to this market.
We have seen the "Grant Oak" as photo
graphed by II. w. Jackson Of our city. 1t
Is an excellent picture, rs pictures go, and
with its historical associations, tGeu. Grants
first commission as general having been
spread out and read beneath its branches in
1851, makes it An acquisition that no album
in this broad land should be without. Pict-
ures can be had at his gallery for twenty
i've cents each, the price bringing them
within the reach of every admirer of the Old
Hero.
We regret to lear Of the death Of Ed. Seitz,
of Fredericktown, last Wednesday, after an
illness of several weeks from typhoid fever.
To his mourning relatives, many OF whom
lence. The Fredericktown Standard says:
.Mr. Seitz was q useful citizen and a good
business man. He had been in the employ
of Hoenthal Bros ever since they commence
ed business here. He was a respected MEM
Der of the X. OF II. at his death and will of
course leave 1000 through that order to his
family"
A party of young people from Frederick
town, on q pleasure trip, visited the Valley
last Tuesday. The party consisted Of Misses
Ida Jackson, Bette Settle, Miss Henderson,
and another girl whose name we forgot, and
Messrs. Uohn johnson, John Jackson and
Master Henderson. Through the we'll known
courtesy of Judge Emerson, they were at
forded the "rare treat", as some of them
expressed It, OF being shown through his
house and getting view Of our Valley from
the Judges observatory. They remained
till Wednesday morning, the guests of Prof.
Scott, who was for several years the teacher
Of most of them.
The Knob band boys are putting on airs
over q set of new instruments received last
week. Schubert will scarcely speak to a
common man, now that he Is encircled by
that ''large' helicon. Say what you will,
though, the boys deserve all the good For
tune has given them, for they have achieved
considerable efficiency under rather trying
circumstances. They are, with one excep-
ton, we believe, miners, and Of course have
to take their 'snight-shift" with the others,
and consequently Saturday night Is the only
one of the week when they can be sure to
get together for practice. Under the cir
cumstanees, the wonder Is not that they
have not done more, but that they have sue
cssded % well.
