Last Sunday week a notorious resort near
| the depot was the scene of one of those dis
graceful affairs which disturb the peace and
quetude of and are disgrace to the COM
munity. A drunken man sought admission
to the house but was denied, and it took the
united efforts of his two companions to keep
him from firing his ''gun" at the inmates
through the window - the atmosphere,
meanwhile, reekng with loud -mouthed pro-
family and obscenity. The decent people
living in that locality have been burdened
too long with that state of affairs, and we
think it time halt was called.
Two farmers from Black River drove into
town last Thursday and halted in front of
Giovanoni's saloon-that was. The curtains
were down, the shutters up, and the doors
closed and locked. SPY ganny, Bill, is this
Sunday" ~ guess not" replied his COM
paniOn. 81 believe it is; we've made mis-
take, sure, and come to town tradin' on
Sunday" said the first party; ''let's go and
see if Toney's OPEN" Toney, too, was clos
ed tighter than wax. 81 tell youths is Sum
day, sure enough! We'd better get outer
here, if we don't want to have the marshal
alter us for breakin' the Sabbath" They
finally concluded to inquire further, and
,ually learned that the saloons were TAX
ing an indefinite holiday: keeping Sunday
every day in the week, as it were.
Last Monday afternoon and the Ironton-
Arcadia bridge will long dwell in the MEM
cries of Mrs. VIM. Trauernicht and her sis
ter, Miss Tillie Block, of Middlebrook. They
were returning from Arcadia, in a buggy,
and, when on the south approach to the
bridge the horse became frightened and
backed off the enbankment, which is about
ten feet high. The buggy turned clear over,
throwing out the ladies, and the horse fell
backwards off the approach. Fortunately
neither the ladies nor the horse were hurt,
but the buggy is Il fearful wreck. Messrs. |
Winkler and Ringo, who were near by, hast |
ened 10 the assistance of the ladies, as soon |
as they the saw the action of the horse, but |
did not get there in time to prevent the acct |
dent. Mrs. 4. and her sister went on their |
way home, but it was by means of borrow
ed horse and buggy.
Over six weeks ago, man named Baum
h9ffer was brought from Poplar Bluff to

'istance of Drs. Patton and Nifong, the bone
Vas cut off and rejoined, the process short
ming the leg "A inches. 1t was tedious
md difficult job, occupying two hours in its
but the result is very satisfact-
Dry, indeed. Last Saturday was six weeks
rom the time of operation, and on Tuesday
IF this week Mr.. Baumh9ffer left for the
Bluff, taking both his legs with him.
