The weather so far this summer demon

estly praying for a shower as they are for a
"dry spell" now.

One or two of the Southeast papers have
suggested Iron county as fit place for the
location of the Branch Pen. No, no,gentle-
men, that WILL NOT DO. We promise the
commissioners lively riot if there should
be any attempt to locate it, or use its convict
labor, within the limits of Iron county.
P. S.-Ironton is out Of peril. The branch
pen. was located at Kansas City Monday.
We still are proud of our correspondents,
notwithstanding one of them had it "put all
oyer him" last Saturday, on account of some
derogatorv charges contained in his latest.
Boys, be lively, but don't be.offensively per-
sonal. 1t doesn't pay, and we don't and
won't print personalities" If we catch on
in time. This is more difficult matter than
may appear to the inexperienced; for not
infrequently an innocent looking paragraph
means a whole lot, Of unpleasant things to
those on the inside.
Buck Martin was again in limbo. One day
last week he spanked darkey boy, and in
consequence MIR. Martin was hauled up be-
fore Judge Dinger, on a warrant sworn out
by the boys mother. The evidence was
conclusive, the prisoner at the bar was duly
fined, and, because of his not having the as
sets necessary for liquidating the fine, he
was lodged in Jail. To break the monotony
of his confinement, the authorities kindly
permitted him to come out each day and cut
down the dog -fennel that line the streets
and perfume the salubrious air of Ironton.
Last Monday morning Jno. Schwab, ESQ.,,

Robt. williams, colored cook at the Ar
Caula House, uOlSu Aoh uA 'aA~ 'AoN
ness. last Monday was hauled up before
Judge Dinger and mulcted in $40 fine and
costs. The facts in the case are these: Last
Saturday, as one of the rhtte waiter girls
passed by him in the kitchen, this Niger
drew his dirty, greasy hand across her face.
she exclaimed, "You Robert" and upon
this he picked up a heavy teacup and struck
her with it on the back of her head. The
GIRL fell as if shot, with big cash in her
head. Dr. Goulding happened to be passing
nv the hotel at the time; he was called in
and sewed up the wound. So far as is now
known. the injury will have no serious result,
~and the black brute who inflicted it will get
off with remarkably light punishment An
other escapade of the kind may, however,
result in little ku -kluxing; and II Mr.. Rob-
ert williams, Esq, cook at the Arcadia
House. desires to preserve whole skin unto
himself, he will do well to avoid repetition
of the offense.
