A couple of gentlemen who recently
made trip over part of Madison
county desire us to call our neighbors
attention to the miserable condition OF
the roads in that municipality The
aforesaid gentlemen say that the di-
viding line between Madison and Iron
is plainly indicated by the difference
in the roads. While the highways
within the latter are in good condition,
in the former they show the grossest
neglect on the part of the overseers
and are nearly impossible. Our
neighbors ought to do better: theirs is
the richer and older county, and the
other conditions are not to their dis
advantage. Wake up, gentlemen!
Get out of your old-time ox-team rut,
and keep abreast of the nineteenth
century!
About forty couples danced to the
music of the orchestra at the Academy
of Music last Monday night. At nine
o'clock the ball opened, and from then
until supper, and again until rosy dawn
streaked the east, the dance went on
and on. 1t was an interval of enjoy
ment snatched from the grippe of all
pervading care. The arrangements
had been so well perfected that neither
jar nor halt did mar the symmetry of
the scene. The supper, which was
served at midnight, was excellent; the
music was good; and everything else
conforming. At four o'clock the
guests retired to their respective homes
to sleep-perchance to dream again
the pleasant experiences of the even
ing, which will not soon lapse from
their waking memories.
Mr.. Klein. musician, from St. Louis,
went into the ballroom Monday night
with scorched clothing. He came
down on No. l to play for the Necktie-
and-Apron Party at the Academy of
Music in the evening, and as several
hours interviewed his arrival and his
time of labor, he concluded he could
not employ them better than by view
ing the landscape DER. He took in
the Valley from salient points, east,
north and west, and finally went south
ward to take stroll in Judge Emer-
sons grounds. As he came out the
gate, on his return, he noticed very
bright light shining through the front
windows of a house on the east side of
the road-a house occupied by Mr..
Pinkley, railroad man. Mr.. Klein,
after closer scrutiny. saw the light
was too bright and too red to come
from lamp. and, moving to the win
dow, found that the interior OF the
room was all in flames. He tried the
front door, but it was locked. Then
he ran round to the rear. and found
the family at supper in back room,
all unconscious of the fire on the other
side of the partition. A word or two
made them realize the situation, and |
all hands sprang to the rescue. The
flames were with difficulty extinguish- |
ed, Mr.. Klein playing his part (not on
the programme) manfully. Wet blan-
zets, water. etc., saved the building |
and most of the furniture, though it
was hot work for few minutes. And |
his is how the principal musician at
he ball played in pair of scorched |
oreeches!
