A negro wench entered the Drug Store last
Saturday evening 10 make small purchase,
and while Mrs. Crisp was waiting on her,
pocketed bottle of cologne, a cake of soap
and sundry other articles. Mrs. c. turned
just in time to detect a suspicious move Of

The field belonging 10 Dan. Reagan. Esq,
just west of Goulding's Park, is being fitted
up for race course and number of men
and teams are now at work on the track.
The money for this purpose was secured by
subscription through the efforts of Mr.. II. NJ.
Collins, who is experimenting the affair. A
lease for five years has been secured on the
property, and it is hoped the move Will have
a tendency to increase the number of fleet
footed equines in the vicinity.
A collision between two freight trains on
the main line between Wickes and White
house last Friday night about ten O'Clock
blockaded the track up the road and delayed
all trains for several hours. \ tramp was
killed and an engineer and fireman badly in
iured. No. 153, due here at 30 A. NJ, did
not pass Ironton until 4:45 p. NJ. Saturday,
and No. 751 was correspondingIy la C. The
Arcadia train did not arrive until IL 80 that
evening. The accident was OccasiOned by
the misinterpretingo of a train order by the en-
gneer and conductor on one of the freIghts.
The wreck was cleared and all trains rum
ming on time by midnight Saturday.
The other day, on going to our mid d-day
meal, we espied, reposing upon the step by
the cistern pump, dignifed two-gallon
demijohn. encased in curious wickerwork.
Attached to the handle thereof, by a slender
twine, was a card bearing the following
legend: presented by J. w. McCollum to
Eli d. AXE, of Ironton: Prohibition Goods;
made by John q. Roach, of Kentucky, in
1882, at his Rich Grain Distillery''-ending
with scriptural injunction, not of common
quotation by the w. c. L. U. Our friends
know we are not too greatly given to look
ing "upon the wine when it is red," but if
the doctor pres ,ribes anything of that sort,
of course IFS a sOlace TO know the medicine
in the prescription is the purest and the best.
Bro. McCollum, in the name of the Great
American snakebite Specific, we thank you.
May you live long and prosper!
