! Mr.. Geo. Lopez of st. Louis apprec
iates the status of the editors ward
robe and has recently favored US with
the following effusion:
| Lives of great men oft remind US
Honest men won't stand a chance,
The more We work there grows behind
Us,
Bigger patches on our pants.
On our pants, once new and glossy,
Now are stripes of different hue,
All because subscribers linger
And won't pay us what is due.
Then let us all be up and doing,
Send your mite, however small,
Or when the snow of winter strikes us,
We shall have no pants at all!
Miss Fannie Markham met with a
painful and serious accident while at
tending the funeral of the late Mr..
Ringo in Arcadia on last Saturday
afternoon. The hack had been driven
up in front of the residence and Miss
Markham was preparing to get out
| when the horses gave a jerk and she
was thrown violently to the ground,
head foremost. She was carried into
the house in fainting condition and it
was several hours before she recovered
sufficiently to be brought home. At
this writing, however, the sufferer is
much better and promises to be fully
recovered in a few days. Every boy
or girl who has attended school in
Ironton for the past twenty years loves
and admires this noble woman and
their prayers are ever that her afiic-
tions may be few and blessings mani
fold. In consequence OF the unfortU-
nate accident there has been no school
in the primary department this week.
1t is an age of inventioa and ma
chinery. and every trade and profession
has received its portion of the benefits
conferred by the application of brain-
creation to the affairs of everyday life
All have been made more perfect and
more easy of application. This refiec-
ton came to US very forciDly the other
day while watching the work of little
machine ..malleter," well call it
in the hands of DIR. Prince, the resi-
dent dentist here. The apparatus in
question-outside the motor-is about
the size and has the look of fountain
pen. With this little instrument the
welding of the gold particles in the
tooth goes on at the rate of about
fifty beats to the second. and must
be a great relief to the operation
as well as the patient. While writ
ing of this. We take occasion 10
mention the fact that DR.. Prince. N
his practice of fifteen years here. has
demonstrated the truth that care and
efficiency are the means TO deserved
success. He has built for himself
splendid practice that constantly grows,
and we note with satisfaction that he
does not drag along hating second
in the progress of his art, but keeps
quick and steady step to the onward
march of the times. We are glad to
know that he has achieved and is still
achieving the success he deserves.
Mr.. E. Nj. Smith, the owner of the
famous log cabin in Graniteville, few
days ago received the following from
friend in Pittsfeld, Massachusetts. who
had read the LOG Cabin Poem" that
appeared in this paper a few weeks
since:
M Dear Smith, am in receipt of a
containing lot of verse, in
which your name is curiously interwov-

relics of past heroic age can hard
ly, with safety to my conscience, allow

and accepted beatltudes of this modern
Christian age to pass without comment.
Is it true that you have been construct

has caused contemplative carpenter
to swear. it looked $50 gol darued funny
whilst he, poor fellow, had been
striving all his life to get into frame?
Surely you have not forgotten the old
apostolic injunction and its application |
that ..if meat offend my brother will |
eat no meat whilst the world stands. "
