ored individual who will have charge Of the
negro school here the coming year, was here

letter has just been received from Capt.
Byers, who, with Mis-. Byers and couple OF
the little ones, have been in Atlantic City for
the past month, stating that they will leave
the beach and so TO Catskill Mountains for
the remainder Of the summer. The change
is necessItayed by Mrs. Bycrs' ill health, the
doctors thinking that the coast air is 100
damp for her. Her'lnany friends in lronton
trust that the mountains may prove highly
beneficial and that she will return to Iron
ton completely recovered.
Judge Dinger was stricken with a para
layitc stroke last Friday morning about two
O'Clock, and for an hour or two it was feared
that the result would be fatal. As the day
keenly and up 20 date is gradually improv-
ing. lie has not yet, however. recovered
the use of his left limb and right arm, still
the attending physician says that with no
relapse he will be all right in due course of
time. 1t is supposed that the attack was
superinduced by the rupturing Of small
blood vessel in the neighborhood OF the
brain. The Judge has the sympathy of
many friends in his afllctiOn, and their sin
cere wishes that he may soon be himself
again.
ii. X. McCurg, who has been absent from
Iron county for twelve years past, returned
home on visit to his folks in BeIleyiew the
last of June. Mr.. McClurg is at present To-
Gated in Tucson, Arizona, and after stay of
a couple of weeks, he will go back to his
western home. He finds that many changes
have occurred during his long absence, and
new faces are the rule. In that time he has
lived at various times in Texas, New Mexico,
Idaho, California, Washington and Arizona
where he now is. He likes his present
abode best of all and expects to make that
his permanent home. 1t goes without say
ing that be received a warm and cordial re-
ception from his relatives and many friends
in Belleview, who are glad to learn that he
is prospecting in his western home.
The camp meeting at Goulding's Park
was duly inaugurated Monday by holding
services both in the morning and evening.
The attendance, while thus far not large,
makes up in enthusiasm and interest what
it lacks in members. As evidence of this
fact it need only be stated that among the
attendants is an invalid woman who has to
be carried from her bed, placed on an old
sled and then hauled four miles to town and
then to the Park. The patient. however,
seems to stand the trip well and enjoys the
exercises. Thus far she has hasn't missed
single day. The meeting at present is in
charge of Elder Woods, quite well known as
one of the oldest Baptist preachers in South
east Missouri. Services are held in the
morning until twelve, when 4 recess is TAX
en- till two O'Clock when the assembly re-
convenes and continues in session for sever
al hours. At night, services are held in the
Fort Hill Church. The meetings will con-
tinue throughout the week, and during that
time it Is hoped much good will be done.
The public is earnestly invited to attend |
and everybody is insured hearty welcome.
Ministers of the various denominations are
expected to preach.
Following is what the Marion Ull.) Press,
of May Is, '91, has to say of Terrell Brothers
Circus, which will exhibit at IrOnton, Mon
day, August Sd, 1891: "Those of our amuse
ment loving people who failed to attend
Terrell Bros menagerle, circus and educat-
ed animal shows, which exhibited here Mon
day, missed one of those rare opportunities
in life to see an exhibition that comes this
way but seldom. To say that these gentle |
men are giving the public one of the best
all-round shows on the road is only uttering |
the candid opinion of every man, woman |
and child who attended their performances |
here. These gentlemen have the largest and |
finest herd of educated horses ever put on |
exhibition of these well trained animals is
well worth the time and money of the most |
exacting sightseer. Their entire perform
ance was good-nothing sorry about it
their tumblers, gymnasts, and riders were
all adopts in their particular specialties |
They have the best bare back rider that ever |
struck this part of the country. One very |
noticeable feature-and quite commend |
able one, too-of Terrell Bros shows, that
ought to be especially mentioned, for it is so
seldom found, is the entire absence OF swim |
ding fakirs, gamblers, and gambling devices
to catch the unsuspecting."
Why, Certainly.
