We are happy to state that the output of
ore at Pilot Knob is steadily increasing and
things Whereabouts are beginning to assume
some of their wonted activity. The ship
ments now average over twenty cars per day,
and we are reliably informed that there is
sufficient ore in sight to insure steady work
at the present rate for five months to come.
The force now employed numbers nearly
three hundred men.

We, the members of the Iron County
Teachers Normal Institute, take this oppor-
tunity OF saying that Prof. John b. Scott, in
the three normal Institutes he has conducted
in this county within the past three years,
has proven himself to be peculiarly fitted for
such work; that he has shown himself to be
Thorough scholar and one who understands
the science and art of teaching, and that we
highly appreciate the good his labors have
accomplished in the improvement of the
public schools of Iron and surrounding
counties. Also, that copy of these resolu-
tons be published in the IRON COUNTY

In last weeks paper we directed attention |
to the running at large of horses and mules |
on the streets of tie city, and wanted to
know why the ordinance in that case made |

to the question, Marshal Pruitt informs us
that the mayor and council hold the ordi-
nance invalid, and have instructed him to
take up no animals trimmings at large upon |
the streets. Then we say the ordinance |
ought to be stricken from the book of ordi- |
nances. Not only that, but those city laws
relating to hitching teams, to fast riding, and |
hitching to trees, ought all to be repealed. |
Where is the sense or justice of filming peo-
pie for fast riding while loose animals are
permitted to troop often at breakneck |
speed through the streets and over the |
at will! A horse driven is under |
direction, and not not nearly so dangerous, |
es en- when run at great speed, as when ca
reering up and down the streets, alleys, and |
byways, without control. Wipe out all these |
ordinances-or enforce them, and abate a |
miserable nuisance.
At meeting of the Woman's Christian |
Union last week resolutions de- |
ploring the increasing use Of chewing gum |
were adopted. 1t was about time action on
this evil was taken. When young girl be-
gins the habit she says, 81 can chew, or let |
it alone," and before she is aware of her |
danger she is on the downward path to
gum chewer's grave; and when youth calls
at house where there are three or four in
young lady gum-chewers and takes
a seat on chair, he feels, when he attempts
to rise, as If he had an abnormal attachment
for that particular piece of furniture, which
sticketh closer than a brother, and his hat
on the piano attracts two or three half chew
ed guilds, and his young life is blighted for
short period. girls! shun the saccharine
and sticky chewing-gum as you would
viper, or you may bring the gray heads of
your parents to the cemetery lot, and spoil
he new suit of clothes of your best young
man. Let there be antichewiDg- gum socie-
les organized in every county and state in
