Don't overlook Squire J. c. Huff's contri-
button to this paper.
Crane Pond Alliance, No. 103, isn't so solid
for the disorganizers, after all. Read Sec'y
Huff's letter.
Miss May Tong goes to the city this morn
ing for the purpose of buying new stock
of Spring and Summer Millinery. She will
return in day or two.
The County Alliance last week sat down
pretty hard on the two or three members
who would have made it political organic
alton and booster to office.
Mr.. j. C. Huff says he is "a Farmers AL
lance according to the constitution" So
they all say, except here and there an office
seeker, or an ofice-seeker's dupe.

Respectfully dedicated to those who tried
to pervert the aims of the F. A. and shape
them to political ends.
We had intended publishing the docket of
the circuit court for the April term, and had
procured copy of it for that purpose, but
we "can't cut 'er' this week. Also num-
Der of communications will have to lie oyer

We sent reporter to the L. L. Convention
at the courthouse yesterday morning, to re-
port the proceedings, but, as he was court

Ironton will probably have bank within
a few weeks. MIR. A. B. Waller, of Kansas
City, is here now, and, if he can make suita-
BILE arrangements, will TRY venture in that
line. He is willing to build up business
SLOWLY. but is determined to do so surely.
That is the way to eventual success, and We
trust in his case it may not be long deferred.
From and after this date nothing will be
admitted into these columns tending to keep
alive the wounds engendered in the late
local option strife in Iron county: nothing,
either from the pen of the editor or any
other person. This is unqualified and final.
There ia nothing desirable to be gained by
prolougation of agitation in community for
which has, for four years. practically settled
the question after the manner of American
freemen: by the ballot.
The County Alliance last week was well
attended by delegates from all parts OF the
county. 1t was in session two days, and the
members appeared to be devoting themselves
strictly to business. The proceedings were
not public, and of course we cannot give

furnish us such matter as the +. A. desires
to be printed we will give it space and
prompt attention. One thing may be stated
here, however: the Alliance refused to Ego
into politics."
We commend the following letter to the
attention of Mr.. Summers and the Ne,o Or

socially. Politically, let him speak for him.
