Willie NOEL, son of Jas. C. Noell, the new
register of lands at Ironton, who formerly
| lived in Perryville, was in town this week on
business and made pleasant call at this
office. Will is a bright. young fellow who
mas the ability to make success in life if he
VIII get down to some good business and
stick to it. We learn since he has taken a
situation as clerk in Frank Hills store
Bonnie T,erre Register.
Madison county newspaper men do not
take kindly to the faith doctor, but on the
| contrary seem to treat that distinguished
individual with contempt and disgust, more
than with reverence and awe, Hear what
last weeks Fredericktown Argus had to say
| about him, and the advice it gives to its
readers: "The old faith doctor who has
been visiting neighboring towns for some
time past, was here during the past week.
Many visited him. some through curiosity
and some inspired with the hope at least
that be could assist them in their infirmities
We say to all, bsware of such men. He pos
sesses no superhuman power. II he effects
anything startling, It's through some unseen
artificial trick. Electricity is wonderful
agent and it is possible that he has a battery
hidden on his person. Such can be accom-
| plished."
The following from the Madison County
argus is rather characteristic of the bellig
erent attorney mentioned therein: ION last
| Friday night while the Cohen case was pro-
crossing, Judge Green on the bench, p.
| Cohen on he witness stand apI TuIva NaIIa
conducting cross examination, a personal
dispute arose between attorney and witness.
Finally the lie was passed, thea blows were
| INDUCED in and scutile between attorney
and witness ensued. They were soon separ-
ated and peace was restorded. Owing to a
misunderstanding of appearances a number
| of spec, ators rushed in, and had the matter
not been set right soon a general rough and
tumble fight may have ensued. Judge Green
promptly fined the principals $40 each. Next
morning after proper apologies to the court
were made all fines were RENTED and the
| case proceeded smoothly to the end"
Circuit Court conyenes next week. While
the docket is not large one still there are
several cases of Importance. Among these
is the case of State vs.. Jno. Thomas, who is
charged with the killing of his brotherin
| law, James Robson, at his home near Gran
iteyille in May last. This case, however, will
not likely be tried here, as the attorneys for
the defense have signified their Intention of
| asking for a change Of venue on the ground
of undue prejudice. The damage suit
against the Crystal Plate Glass Company,
from Jefferson county, and which was tried
he
the Judge, will again come up for adjudica-
catiOn at the coming term. In the event
this last case goes to trial court will prob
ably continue all week, or even into the week
| following. Otherwise an adjournment will
| be reached by Thursday or Friday next.
The docket in full IS published elsewhere.
Mr.. Ferd. Inner of Pilot Knob last week
motherin- law, Mrs. Naeth, at her home in
| Ste. Genevieve county, by being kicked by
mule. In this connection it seems that a
fatality of accidents has pursued this family
during the past four years. In that time no
| less than five members Of the family have
met V it'll sudden and violent deaths. First
| was Mr.. Wealth, who fell from fence and
| broke his neck; then his son who met with
| an accident that produced lOck-jaw and
| terminated in death; Il short time afterwards
a sister was drowned in cistern by two
| tramps, who made their escape, but, it Is
said, were lately executed in a remote part
! of the country on some other charge, and
| just before their death confessed that they
| had committed this other awful deed, after
the death of this sister was the tragic end
| l.,
which has been followed so soon, as stated
above, by the unfortunate and deplorable
| demise of her mother.
| With the Arcadia Valley in its lovely garb
| of spring, flowers and trees bending and
| bowling to the April breezes, and all nature
in smiles, Will the visitors to the l. o. o. f.
| Celebration be received in Ironton on Thurs
preparing for the occasion report that all
the arrangements are progressing nicely
| and there is every indication that the event
will be complete success. No important
| changes have 0een made in the programme
| from the way in which it was outlined in
! these columns some weeks since, but the
order there gwen will be generally followed.
! Word has been received from all the lodges
| in the Association and the attendance prom
| ises to be by far the largest in the history of
| the organizaticn-the number of visitors
will probably reach 1000. To accOmmo-
date such a gathering and see that every
person has good time will, of course, be no
easy task, but, with the aid of our Valleys
hospitality, it can and VIII be accomplished
to degree that will hardly fall short of per-
ial feature of the occasion is the grand ball
and supper at the Academy of Music in the
evening, and the managers of that portion of
the festivities are determined that it shall in
| every way be all that the admirers of the
dance could desire. The invitations have
been printed and will be mailed this week.
