The young ladies of Ironton will give

fected for such an affair as only the

E. Dubbs, lad of about fourteen
years was arrested at Des Arc last
Monday, and charged with burglary.
His real offense was that he had the
day previous broken the chain which
held two trucks together at Fits mill
he, with some other boys, desiring
to run one of the cars up and down the
track, after the manner of Young
America. Of course, the charge of
burglary could not be sustained, and
the Prosecuting Attorney substituted
for it that of malicious trespass. 1t
appears that some of the citizens wanted
to find him guilty of felony in order
that he might be sent to the State Re-
form School. This of course could not
be done, and so, Dubbs was put upon
trial for the minor offense, found guilty,
and sentenced to twenty days in Jail.
He was brought up to Ironton, and
placed in charge of Mr.. Fisher, and will
be kept out of mischief for three or
or four weeks. at least. Can anything
be done to save him from himself in
the future?

by a peculiar noise, as though some
one was trying to effect an entrance
into the house by lifting one of the
windows. She called her husband and
a search was instituted. 1t transpired
that during his sleep their son arose,

1t seems that Bro. Cundiff of the
Ironton Truth. has not been consulting
Mr.. Beard, the postmaster over there, |
about the management of his paper, |
and as consequence the relations have
become strained between these two
leading Republican lights. By way of |
and gentle correction Mr.. |
Beard refused to permit Mr.. Cum
lifts paper to pass through has sic
office until certain cancellations that he |
had suggested should be made. This |
put the editor in frame of mind to use
,uss words which, any one acquainted
with him knows, requires powerful prov
,cation. The editor appealed to the
oostmaster's superior officers and Mr..
Beard found that he had sat down up
IN an awfully sharp tack. The idea of
/ postoffice press censorship is a new
,ne to us, but if we are to have the
morals of the community protected in
hat way we know of no better subject
o begin with than Republican paper
md no community whose morals need
more careful attention than that in
which the Truth is published.-Centre-
