around, dedicated to a worthy purpose, and
tue only regret we have is that the proceeds
hetted were not larger. As tits, however, the
ioraries for the three departments of the
pubic school here are assured; and more

A charivari saluted Mr. and Mrs. R. F.
Wlngate at the Ironton House (the home OF
the bride) last Friday night, shortly after
the arrival Of the Accommodation. The de-
| iightful music called forth the BRIDE
groom, who addressed the crowd in few
| Weli.chosen sentences, concluding with an
invitation to all to 90 and take something
Tor their stomachs' sakes al his expense.
The crowd then joyfully disper, ed, and the
street shortly afterward resumed its wonted
repose.

United States Deputy Marshal W. A. Nc
Cune of St. Louis passed through Ironton
last Wednesday, having in custody Andrew
j. Mason, whom he had arrested in Reynolds
county for OBTAINING and refusing to deliver
the United States mail to the proper post
master at West Fork, Mo. Mason is sub
and carries the mail between |
Centreyille and Stone Hui, Mo. Mr.. Wanna
maker not long since thought it advisable |
to make change in the postmaster at West |
FORK, which was not at all agreeable to Mr.. |
Mason, and he accordingly carried the mail
and registered mail for West Fork by and |
refused to recognize Mr.. Wanamaker's post |
master. For this Judge Thayer of the Unit
ed States Court assessed q fine of $50 and |
costs, aggregating about $115, which Mason
paid and passed through here on his return
home last Friday, a wiser man and fully de-
hereafter not "monkey" with Uncle
Sam.
The following item is taken from the Farm
ngton Ne,cs, but it may be accepted cum
Jrano sails, for we have just learned that
Mr.. Cundiff will keep on publishing the
as usual; that the material has
not been seized, and that the only change
made was that of removing the office to an
other building. The Ne,gs' item is as fol-
ows: son Wednesday of last week, Mrs.
Jennie T. Forster closed up the Pennington
Democrat office under a chattel mortgage.
Bro. Cundiff has never been able to make
he Democrat pay running expenses, to say
nothing of profit. We have not seen the
notes, but we have been told that Mrs. FOs-
er holds notes against Mr.. Cundiff for 500,
including interest and principal. He also
yves W. A. Ogliye e. Co. something like $40
or rent. The paper is suspended for the
present, but Mr.. John C. Wilson talks of
purchasing the outfit from Mrs. Forster and
a new paper under new name,
)ut this is doubtful unless Mr.. Wilson Sc
lures a new press, or makes some other ar
angements to have the paper printed, as the
I'D Democrat press is irrepairably broken.
t is rumored on the streets that Mr.. Cundiff
will print the Democrat at Ironton and send
I to Pennington, but this would be very
lifficult Job, and would probably result in
till worse failure. The hardest thing to I
understand is how Bro. Cundiff ever expect
ID two Republican papers to exist in Farm
ngton."
Our most excellent sheriff Walter Fisher
s quite a sportsman, and frequently exacts
ribute from the surrounding country.
)ne day last week he was returning at even
ide from turkey hunt on Shepherd Noun
ain, and had occasion 10 pass close to one of
he many domiciles that cling to the foot of
hat stupendous mass of earth and rock.
Walter was meditating, perhaps, upon the
nany glorious hunts he had had in times
rome by, when deer and turkeys galore had
dropped at the crack OF his trusty rifle,
when, "bwhoo!" savage dog made a dash
or his throat. There was no time for par
ewing; it was do or die, and Walter instinct
vely brought his barrel over the head
II the enraged canine, knocking him, tigura-
lively speaking, into the middle of next
week. just at that moment voice from
within the house began most outrageous
trade of abuse upon the slayer of the dog,
threatening all manner of evil. Walter said |
