We regret to learn of the serious illness OF
that veteran Democrat, Mr.. VIM. C. Love
at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. A. J
Carly, two miles west of Ironton. Mr. Love
was born In the year 1894, is q survivor OF
the war Of 1872, and ever since he reached
his majority has been a constant and con.
| sistent Democrat. We trust that his pres.
ent indisposition may be only temporary
and that he will still be with US to enjoy the
peoples and Democracy's victory in 1892.

Mrs. Melinda Sutton and her son were de-
PENDANTS in case which was tried before
| Squire McNeeley, near Hogan, on Thursday
of last week. The prosecuting witness was
1
assaulted and disturbed by Mrs Sutton and
| her son. The parties are neighbors and
cousins; the evidence showed that the pros
ecuting witness chickens had gone oyer to
| defendants field and scratched up some
| newly planted corn, This, naturally, en-
ragged the defendants Who rushed on the
| chickens, and, while throwing at them, so
| he says, hit Mr.. Isaac with rock. The jury
failed to agree and Mr.. Jordan dismissed the
cause as to Mrs. Sutton and then cOmpro-
missed as to the son by his paying 81 costs.
The ''faith doctor" is getting in his work
and gradually making a name oyer in the
kingdom of St. Francois. This Is what last
weeks Pennington Times says about him:
snow comes Samuel Petty, who has been
badly paralyZed for several years, and says
he doesn't think the faith doctor of whom
we have heI etofOre made some mention, Is
humbug. Mr.. Petty says his main trouble
was that he could not sleep, and had not
slep: any TO- six years-satisfactorys sleep we
suppose he means-until this faith doctor
came here and treated him, when he began
to improve in his sleep, and is inclined to
believe that the treatment will do him good.
I1t says Juc ldIlu ubClpI HIS never dshtu
him for any money, and asks Where is the
humbug:' If he effects cure of Mr.. Petty
the people will conclude that the day of
miracles has returned"
Corporations sometimes require consider
able time to do good thing, but when they
once undertake it they leave no cause for
complaint. the fOotway in connection with
the railroad bridge across Stout'S Greek has
long been an eye-sore to this community.
The old affair was not only Unsightly, but
positively dangerous. The attention of the
officials of the Missouri Pacific was called to
ii sometime ago, and recently the bridge was
thoroughly repaired and substantial foot
bridge was constructed that is a credit to the
company. 1t is sufficiently wide for two
persons to walk abreast, has 4 hand rail on
each side, so that the passing of 4 train will
not disturb the pedestrian, and enable peO-
pie to cross over the bridge without having
first to look up and down the track to see if
train is coming. 4 little attention on the
part of Operations to the comfort and con-
yenienee of the public would have a strong
tendency to allay friction.

To the Comrades Of the q. Il. r., Sons Of

1t gives us pleasure to state that active
steps are at last being taken toward the es-
Enlistment of that long talked of hotel at
Arcadia. The idea is to erect large three
story brick structure, the hotel and grounds
to cost $4,000. 1t is proposed to raise this
money by means of joint stock company
the shares being $50 each. The parties
having charge of the affair are Mr.. Louis
Miller of Arcadia, and Gen. Turner of St.
Louis. They will at once commence can
wasting among the business men of Arcadia
Valley and ST. Louis in the endeayOr to sell
the number of shares rPoJIisite to make the
enterprise a success. And we hope to see
them meet with the encouragement and lib
crafty that their energy deserves. The plan
is both feasible and practical, and there Is |
no reason why it should not be crowned !
with success Boom it along, fellow citizens. |
If YOU can't take ten shares take five; If not
five, two, or anything else you may by able |
to do, but don't stand to one side shaking |
YOUR head in encouragement aud telling
some dismal story of failures that have been.
Let every man have a good word for the
venture and do all he can to heiplt forward.
The excursion and picnic from st. Louis |
to Arcadia and Pilot Knob on last Sunday |
was hardly the success it might have been. I
In the first place the weather was unfavor-
able, there being several showers in the
course of the day. The train, consisting of
four coaches and a beer car, arrived shortly |
after noon, carrying In all probably three |
