A birthday ball was given at the residence
of Judge T. p. Russell Friday evening, De-
cember 18th, in memory of his wife's sixty
first anniversary. 1t was very enjoyable af-
fair. But wait. As Judge is deacon, per-
haps we had better explain matters for fear
of misjudgment. 1t was a large ball of yarn
enclosing many presents from friends and
her children.
We are sorry to announce that the Iron

report was circulated OH the streets of
st. Louis one day last week to the effect that
the Ore Il Steel Company contemplated the
erection of several mammoth smelling fur
maces at Pilot Knob, but President Hitch
cock, on being interviewed, stated that the
rumor was wholly without foundation, and
that it had likely originated frcm the in-
tended .blowIng- in" of the furnaces at
Carondelet.
One of the most enjoyable entertainments
of the Holidays was the A. o. L. w. Ball at
the Academy of Music on Monday night last.
The arrangements were complete and their
execution perfect. Nothing that could add
to the pleasures of the occasion was wanting
and it will long be held in memory by the
participants as one of the events of the pres
sent Holiday season.
1t is not often that town the size of IRON
ton can boast of a business house with
reputation and patronage outside or It's
own State, but it seems we have one In our
city of almost national repute. We refer to
the "Bonanza," whose proprietor this week
showed us an order for goods from Ell Paso,
Texas, which they had lately filled. Capt.
B. informs US that orders from neighboring
states are of frequent occurrence.
