Every one who attends may be doubl
sure of having a splendid good time.
| The cemetery at Middlebrook is on
of the neatest kept in the whole country
Admirably situated on hill side, witt
the trees and shrubbery always tastil,
trimmed, it presents an appearance o
watchful care and attention too seldom
encountered in the country graveyard
There is nothing more sorrowful ani
sad. than to see the resting places o
ssthose who have gone BEFORE" neg
! lected and grown over with weeds an6
| underbrush; and we congratulate oul
Middlebrook friends that such omission
cannot be laid at their door.
The suggestion to start bank in
Ironton meets with general approval.
Everybody appreciates that the town
needs such an institution, and plenty
of capital can be secured as soon as the
public is convinced that the manage
ment will be in proper hands. Num-
bers of persons have written or spoken
to US during the past week in regard
to the matter and say they are ready
to subscribe stock as soon as the mat
ter assumes tangible shape. Now, in
or6er to see just what can be done, let
every one who is willing to take stock,
please inform US and to what amount.
Then an organization may be effected;
this is a matter in which every citizen
of the county should feel an interest
Let us have bank, and that without
delay.
The young men of the Ironton Cornet
Band will give Festival at the Acad-
envy of Music on Friday evening this
week. Ice Cream, Lemonade, Cake,
and the usual refreshments will be sold
at the usual rate-the proceeds to be
devoted to the purchase of several new
instruments. The boys (aided by their
best girls) will do everything possible
to please their patrons and friends;
and, as the object of the affair is I'M
selfish and for the general good and
pleasure, they hope to receive liberal
recognition. Say what one may of the
disturbance created by a brass band
newly at practice, once it attains fair
proficiency, it is a source of pride and
L
reasons we feel assured the boys will
not be- disappointed in the practical
endorsement of their friends. Every
body is cordially invited.
w. Trauernicht & Bro, the progress
i've and fashionable tailors at Middle
brook, have just received one of the
largest and finest selections of piece
goods for spring and summer wear,
ever brought to Southeast Missouri.
Clothing that will fit and wear is what
the multitudes seek, but seldom find;
yet both can be secured at Trauer-
NIGHTS. With force of ten tailors,
there is no delay in getting what you
want, either, and if you are in an ex-
rush, you can be accommo-
dated with a full suit in one days time.
This establishment, for years the leader
in Southeast Missouri, has never been
so well prepared to attend to the wants
of customers as at present; the piece
goods in stock embrace every line and
quality, and the workmen are as good
as the world affords. So if you are in
need of anything in the way of clothing
now is your time; VIM. or Herman,
either, will take pleasure in waiting on |
you.
For several weeks. past the Valley |
people have been worried and annoyed |
,y the singular actions of tramp; his |
practice was to visit the houses during |
he absence of the men, and call for a |
neal; when what was brought didn't |
uit him, he would give a supplement-
u order, and if that was not attended
o, he would stand at the door AMI
rumble, or move away, shaking his
lead and threatening all kinds of VEN
eance. So far as can be learned he
ever offered any acts of violence, but
he practice was none the less annoying,
nd after while grew monotonous.
Ie had the faculty of always keeping
ut of the way of the officials, too. A
neak was made on him last Friday,
hough, and he was arrested on the
barge of vagrancy; he complained Bit
srly at this treatment, declared that he
ad done nothing wrong, and no one had
he right to thus deprive him of his
berty. Despite his pleading, he was
laced in Jail, and that afternoon was
AIKEN before the Justice. By this time I
e seemed to have overcome the vio- {
snt fit of temper he had displayed in
ne morning. and while being taken I
-om the Jail to the Justices Office was
ocile and peaceful as lamb. Once
mere he took seat, paying no atten-
ion to the crowd Of sight seers, and,
Violently, oblivious of all around him. I
'hus he remained until the prosecut- t
lg attorney read the charge against I
i'm, that of being vagrant. As these |
ords were pronounced he bounded )
ON his chair, declared the charges j
ithout foundation, and then and there q
roceeded to deliver to the court and
lie prosecuting attorney, an eloquent +
ppeal on the rights guaranteed by v
merican citizenship; in scathing v
arms he denounced the prosecutions S
the law which he said were frequent r
; but prosecutions. Full six feet q
Ugh, of powerful physique, and clad in t

Q presented a picture not often en- t
under similar circumstan- v
IS. His language was good, too-far i
stter than that generally uttered by O
lie class to which he seemed to belong. c
lille it was plainly evident that i

ain that the fellow had at some time q
his life had the advantage of educa- "
