A. NJ.
An earring, found near the NJ. E. Church
last Thursday night, is in this office awaiting
an owner.
For the first present of homegrown
peaches of this season we are indebted to
Mr.. VIM. Rieke, of this city.

There will be Picnic and Celebration at
Jackson's Grove, near Annapolis on July 4th
A lively time is promised and the public is
generally invited to attend.
Scarcely day passes but what we have
application from parties seeking board in
the Valley. IT'S indeed unfortunate that
we have to turn so many of them away I'M
satisfied.
The Pilot Knob Band favored Ironton
with some music on Thursday evening last.
The occasion was the christening of a new
band wagon-the result of Ii. Collins arch
ftectual genius.
There Is on exhibition in this office a most
excellent specimen of portrait painting, the
handiwork of our esteemed fellow citizen,
Mr.. W. j. Hinchey. Our friends are invited
to call and examine.
The Washington University boys rendered
= dance to the young folks of the Valley on
Friday evening last. A crowd sufficiently
large to insure first-class time was in at
tendance and all passed off nicely and in
order.
No. 654 last Wednesday carried a coach
filed with as dirty and greasy a lot of Indian
bucks and squaws as ever visited civllza-
aion. We ere not advised whether they were
on the way to some reservation or composed
the "WHd West" of some circus.
Mr. w. j. Russell, of Belleview, furnishes
us with the following schedule of the trot-
ting race which occurred at that place last
TUESDAY. One mile heat; entries, Collins
II
<'Flyer." Time of horses in order named was
SOC, 6:26 and 400. We need not say that
VIM. is elated over the result.
Our enterprising jeweler, Mr.. A. Winkler,
has established 4 branch shop in Poplar
Bluff. From the Bluff papers we infer that
Mr.. WIS advent into that towns bus
ness circles has stirred up the competi-
tion considerably. IfAugust doesn't "stay"
with them, though, We are willing to be put
on record as having once failed in our proph-
esyIng.
Rev. DIR. Schuyler will hold services and
officiate at Holy Communion in st. Pau's
Church next Sunday. Rev. DR.. 5. Is a most
able divine, with an address that is pleasing
beyond compare, and we advise those of
our readers who have not yet heard him to
take advantage of the opportunity to do so
before the reverend gentleman departs from
the Valley.
Geo. Dunn, of whose arrest at the instance
OIL. w Hancock on the charge of appropriate
ing the contents of lost pocket book we
made mention of last week, was bound over
by Judge Dinger last Wednesday to await
the action of the grand Jury next October.
Dunn still maintains he is innocent and says
he will be able to so prove when the matter
comes up at Circuit Court.
The younger ladies of Ironton are not crit
icising the Judgment and good taste of the
Lord SO much as formerly-that is, those
who have good forms. They have discarded
the hustle as an article of apparel. 1t SEEM
ed at one time as though the sex were in
deayoring to improve on His handiwork, but
now, it seems that they ut last give in to the
Creator. They fly no more-in that re-
spect-in the face of the Almighty.
