There are three or four boys-xhite and
color ed-that make a practice of loafng
around the depot, who are training for the
| penltentlary. Scarcely day passes but what
they are guilty of some petty violations of
the law and in consequence are growing
bold. They had better take warning as the
authorities are on to them.
Boys, crap-shooting is pleasant pastime,

1t is rumored that there Is case of small
pox in Ironton; that Will Carter, colored,
with his wife, came down from ST. Louis a
couple of days ago, and is now at his fathers
house, sick with the dread disease. DR.. G.
W. Farrar, ST., called at the house yesterday,
but could not determine that the pa,Ieut
was suffering from smallpox; and it may
be, il is a false alarm. In the meantime, the
utmost precaution should be taken to pre-
vent the spread of the contagion, if such it

We call especial attention to an item in
this paper, taken from the New York Eue
ming Post, which contains a statement made |
by the Pittsburgh american Manufacturer |
and Iron World in reference to the profits of
the plate glass industry. 1t throws ray of
light upon a question kept painfully dark by |
the beneficiaries of the Great American Sys- !
tenn of Protection, who believe in the Giori- |
ous Heme Market for the ''milions in it" |
for them. The item referred to would |
make an excellent text for one of those COM |
petitive ESSAYS induced in the De Soto pub
lie schools by Philanthropist Neale of the |
Crystal Plate Glass Works.

was plaintiff, and John Poston was defend |
ant. VIM. L. Edgar appeared for the latter

that Chiffon sued for debt of $3.50 due |
him for hauling logs to a mill formerly own |
ed and run by Poston, but which had been |
leased to a man ramed Wart, prior TO the |
hauling. At the request of Wart, PostoE
had notified Chiffon and others that the new |
proprietor wanted saw-log>, and upon this |
hint they proceeded. When the logs in
question, amounting in value to $3.50, were
delivered, Wart gave him in payment an or
der for that amount on Graves store in Des /
Are; but Graves refused to recognize it,
except to the amount of $40. Then Chill |
ton, claiming that he had been engaged to |
haul by Poston, sued that person for the bill. |
