Mr.. Maschmeyer, of Pilot Knob, sent US
change for his card this week, but it wa
overlooked until the outside pages had bee
printed. We promise him Well not forge
him next week. In the meantime, it gives U
pleasure to commend the "Corner Store" t
the favorable consideration of the good peo
pie of thus county. The stock is very larg
and complete, and all will find Mr.. NJ a
accommodating and genial gentleman, VIII
sells his goods always at bedrock prices.
The Golden Troupe will be at the Acad

morrow night. The Goldens are well known
to our theatre-goers as having one of tn
best companies that ever visited our city

tain their former high standard of excellence

A striking illustration of the cups and
downs" of the prices on real estate was
brought to our notice last Tuesday, while
Sheriff Whit worth was selling the tax lands
One tract of $50 acres, situated about five
miles northwest of Ironton, was "knOcked
off, at $40. This same property some fifteen
years ago was transferred to Henry Blow
and others for the sum of $4,000. A strong
indication of iron made the land valuable in
the eyes of spectators at the time, and
hence the last named fancy price.
The Doniphan Talk "died a-bornin'," as
we have been informed by Mr.. TIigg, it's
protector. No, Lucius, we may not impart
to you the wherefOreness of this flash j. the
pan. 1t would be unprofessional, and beside
we are not on the inside ourself. The Dom
iphan sewing circle perhaps has re- organic
ed, or Mabrey the Prospect looked tougher
on closer inspection. Things are not always
what they seem, and country newspapers
rarely are. The fool monkeyeth with the
buZZ-saw, but the wise man is not entced
thereby. He standeth off, and saith, "Thus
could l do" but he refraineth. And his
shekels stay by him.
Judge Emerson goes to Washington this
week, at the close of the Celebration in St.
Louis to push up the auditing of his ac-
counts, and try to induce the Department
to pay him at least a part Of the several
thousand dollars he has advanced to run the
Marshal's office. The Government is more
than year behind in auditing his accounts
and paying him, and he says sit is becom-
ing very monotonous ;" but still he is treated
better than some other Marshals are in other
Districts. This may arise from the fact
that Marshal Emerson has the credit of
running his District nearly twenty per
cent. less cost to the Government than any
other District in the West, according to
population.
Miss Matte Quarles, young lady who
has no little talent as vocalist and especial
ly as an elocutionist, attempted to give en-
in the Academy Of Music on
and Monday nights last, but only
partially succeeded, as the turnout on both
was rather small owing to the in
clement weather and the difficulty always
in getting our people out on like
occasions. The young lady is deserving, as
,hese exhibitions are the only support of
herself and blind mother, and we regret eX-
that she did not receive more
substantial patronage from our folk. While
her performances are not wholly perfect,
Miss Q. gives evidence of extraordinary gifts
md promises, with perseverance and study,
10 acquire the fame her merits and energy
entitle her.
Judge and Mrs. Dinger last Sunday cele-
brated the thirtieth anniversary of the day
they united their fortunes for this life of
veal or woe. A large number of invited
guests were present and took part in the
pleasures of the day. Squire AXE, who a
score and half years before, first pro-
nounced Mr.. and Mrs. ID. as man and wife
was present on this occasion and again per-
formed the ceremony. l. most tempting
collation. had been prepared for the assem-
oled company and all pas sed of as joyful as
The traditional marriage bell. Congratula-
lions were showered on the 30-year bride
md groom and the friends took their de-
parture with the universal wish that the
future of the couple might prove as happy
IS their past. A more blissfui lot no one
could ask for.
