change of venue. By agreement tn
case was taken to Reynolds county where i
: will come up for trial next month. Th
damage suit against the Crystal Plate Glas
Company will be tried here at special tern
to be held some time between now and jun
LIST, the exact date of which, however, ha
not yet been determined upon. As Judg
Green is an attorney in the case, one of The
Judges from neighboring circui;-yerI
likely Judge Wear-will be called to preside
Last Thursdays Pest Dispatch contained
an account of young couple entering the
office of Justice Meagher in Carondelet and
producing marriage license issued from
Iron county, asked that official to perform
the ceremony. The Justice refused, stating
that he had no Jurisdiction, whereupon the
pair, disappointed but not discouraged,
| boarded an electric Car and rode up town
An examination of the record here fails to
establish the identity of the couple, and it is
altogether likely that the justice made a mis-
take in saying the license came from this
county. 1t might have been, though, that
the license was fraudulent, and the justice
doubling its genuineness, pleaded lack OF
1 III " any lCepOhSi-
bility in the premises.

the reception and accommodation of those
| expected to be in town tomorrow. Be ide

Last Monday afternoon an Italian named
James Otto, and one AL Jones, sat on a
porch in Graniteville, enjoying the splendor
of the brilliant skies, SO kindred to those of
Sunny Italy. Along came one Harry CALVIN,
and, for his own diversion, and without
provocation, called Otto various ignomini-
Gus and provoking names. Otto answered,
finally, by heaving a crock" at his tormentor,
and Calvin replicated with missiles of the
same nature. Then he grabbed club and
started for the Italian, who In turn took up
shovel At this juncture Jones interfered,
and endeavOred to wrest the shovel flom
Otto, crying out that he wanted ga fair
fight" During the encounter Jones' teeth
got in some work on the Italians fingers,
and the hubbub was growing intenser, when
other parties interfered and separated them.
Otto then went down to Pilot Knob ana
swore out a warrant against Calvin and
Jones, charging them with assault, and Con-
stable Foley in due time took in the delin-
quents. Trial was had yesterday before
Justice Schwaner, Prosecuting Attorney
Beyersdorff, of Reynolds county, at the re-
quest of Mr.. Jordan, looking after the States
interests. Otto was prosecuting witness;
Jones plead guilty and paid $3.50; CALVIN
stood trial, and was mulcted in "S1 and
costs" During the proceedings before the
Justice, Jones, who was considerably more
than "three sheets IN the wind" paid his
respects to the prosecuting attorney in point
ed if not elegant terms. For this, Justice
Schwaner fined him an additional five dol
lars. These little matters come high, but
it seems we can't get along without them.
The closing of the Ironton public school
this year was supplemented Monday evening
by an Exhibition at the Academy of Musical
the scholars taking part. A small admission
fee was charged, the proceeds to be applied
to school uses. The doors were opened at
O'Clock, and thirty minutes later the hall
was filled, to its seating and standing capac-
ity-foor and gallery. At s the stage cur
tain went up, and from then until after II,
''the play went on" We have attended
many "school exhibition, EAST, West,
North and South-but never one in all its
parts so fully satisfactory to critical eXpec-
tation. The selections We're all in good
taste, and their rendition away above the or
binary. OF course we can't go into particu-
lars, and if we did string of continuous
praises would grow monotonous. We can
not refrain, however, from especially COM
mending the drill of the school, shown in
everything done on the stage that evening,
clearly indicating discipline and order-and
the g0Od-,ClU prevailing between teachers
and pupils and parents. he dialogues
were good, the musical selections well rem
dered, and the motion exercises exception
ally fine. The "Moton Song" by fourteen
little maidens, "Ten Little Sunf1ower Girls"
.'Ten Little Boys" Little Shaking Quak-
ers," "Japanese Fan Drill" and "The Reap
er and the Flowers" all were deserye dly
applauded. At the conclusion OF the eXhi-
bition, VIM. II. Edgar, Esq, stepped upon
the stage, and, with a few well chosen re-
marks, on behalf of the pupils, presented to
Prof. Vance an elegant edition of Dickens
Works; to Miss Lena Ringo, of the Inter-
mediate Department. beautiful satin wat
err set; and to Miss Fannie Markham, SUI
perbiy bound and illustrated edition of
Moore's Poems. Prof. Vance responded
with evident feeling, while the ladies bowed
the thanks their tongues were not schooled
to utter. The audience, after attesting its
appreciation, then dispersed. In conclusion,
was such a school exhibition given in Ironton,
so is the fact patent that never before IN the
history of the district was its school in bet
ter condition or more satisfactory 10 its
patrons. Long may it so continues we
are sure it will, under the government of
Prof Vance, and the assistance of his eff
cient coadjutors.
