We understand the saloon keepers held a

The old fort at Pilot Knob is about the
best preserved earthworks or fertilization

trees have grown inside and out of the para

Ore and Steel company and find out if there
wouldn't be some chance to lease the fort
and make park of it.

Bunting-WilsOn.


There was quite stir i'll the society circles
wedding. 1t was quiet little affair, how
ever, and occurred at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. W. H. Catern on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 1st. Promptly at 1880 A. NJ, the
contracting parties-Mr. l. n. Bunting, OF
Richfield, Kan, and Miss Maude Wilson, of
this place-joined hands and were made one
by the beautiful and impressive marriage
ceremony of the Episcopal church, pro-
nounced by the Rev. 40. Penniman, pastor
of the Ironton Presbyterian church.
An elegant luncheon was served immedi-
ately after the ceremony, of which the we'd
ding guests partook with evident relish.
Mr.. Bunting is wide awake young BUSH
ness man who has recently gone to the far
West to make his fortune. He is engaged
in the hardware trade in the town in which
he resides. lie is an educated gentleman
he pursued his studies at Princeton College
and he is energetic and undoubtedly he will
be successful merchant.
OF the fair young bride we can also speak
only in terms of highest praise. Her resi-
dence in Ironton was quite brief, but during
the short time she was here she attracted
universal attention by her many personal
charms, and won for herself large circle of
friends. She is niece of Mr.. and Mrs. W..
II. Catern. with whom for several years past
she made her home, and by whom she will
be greatly missed now that she is gone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunting departed for their
western lone last Thursday afternoon, fol-
lowed by the good wishes of all their ac-
uuaintances in this Valley.

RATTLE OF PILOT KNOB.
The Committees are All at Work.

The Committee on Refreshments haye con-
cIuded to have barbecue. The dinner will
be served near the Fort or in the grove near
it at the base of the mountain. 1t is expect
ed that each neighborhood will combine and
fit out table, and bring bread and butter,
and cakes, and everything that hungry men
and women like. 1t is presumed that the
barbecue people will furnish plenty of meat,
but all other things will be needed. The
members of the committee in each locality
will please see to it.
The Valley will be full Of strangers on that
day, and if all join in making the celebration
a success, it will be a big advertisement for
Iron county. 1t will cost several numbered
dollars in money to pay all the odds and
ends of expenses, and we should alt join
literally to aid. None of the money collect
ed here will be applied to the monument.
Our citizens are only asked to aid in the cell
ebration and in entertaining the old veterans
from Illinois.
Everybody should faye plenty OF flags to
decorate their buildings, and make the Vail

DIED.

BRowNE-At Potosi, Mo-, on Friday, Sep
TENDER 5, 1856, at 10:45 A. NJ, of catarrhal
phthisis, Fannie, wife of r. S. Browne, and
daughter of Benjamin and Horora Davidson,
in the 9th year Of her age.
How ephemeral is human existence! Less
than two short years have elapsed since the
subject of this notice was united in marriage
with him she had chosen from all the world,
and the future seemed bright for her and
him she had honored and made happy by
woman's most precious Gift. Now all is
gone for those her presence blest, save the
sad memories of the past and the uncertain
ties of tlarkened future. But there is yet
comfort and hope for those who mourn and
despair, and both will come to them in sea-
son. The soul cannot die, and the knowl-
edge of the Joys of the spirit departed that
knowledge born of the faith which takes
away the sting of deatn-will in time allevi-
ate the grief that now seemeth beyond en-
durance.
The writer had known Mrs. Browne since
she was child, and to him and his family
the news of her death was a surprise and
shock. She was an intimate and esteemed
friend to all, and for years the cherished
companion of one who preceded her to that
other shore whence no one returns. To her
bereaved parents and stricken husband
we tender such words of consolation as may
be obtruded into the sanctity of their grief.
