Can our Republican friends promise us as
much prosperity the coming year as we

Wonder If the rightful heirs and success

any "shaking in the boots," in store for Iron
County's Democracy for the present year:
The Senate last week confirmed the ap-

since. Mother and children are doing nicely.
Again the St. Louis papers state that Judge

Mrs. Vim. Boswell, of Marble Creek, is
convaIescent from Il severe attack OF pneu-
monia. Her recovery is especially gratlfy-
ing from the fact that she is seventy-nVe
years old, and the anticipation of her re-
