Geo. l.. Moore. of old an Ironton boy,
but now a resident of the Far West,
came to see the home-people last Fri
day. He is in excellent health and
enamored of the land of canyons and
grizzlies, because of its life-giving
atmosphere. Mr.. M. will remain few
days and then return to work, at Wal
lace. Idaho. He is telegraphist.
Charley Williams of Potosi was in
Ironton Saturday and Sunday, and
while in the Valley he bought two fine
Jersey cows from Jos. A. Reyburn. He
will take them home .'Overland." We
knew Charley twenty-five years ago.
and he looks nearly as young to-day as
he did then, albeit he is a man of fam
lily and the father of eight children.
Miss Fannie Freeland, who has for
two years had charge of the interme-
date department of the Ironton public
sch DOL, left for her home in Indiana last
Monday. She probably would have
been re-employed by the board, but
she declined to make application for
the place, owing to ill-health. She
has many warm friends here, who wish
her recovered health, and i prosper
Gus and happy life.
The wreck of a freight train last
night near Irondale clogged up the
road and suspended traffic for six or
eight hours. The fast mail will not
pass here before twelve o'clock to-day,
while the Arcadia Accommodation will
take lay-off at Bismarck and await
the clearing of the way. We are not
advised as to whether anyone was
killed or injured in the wreck, and will
have to wait for further developments.

Rev. Morton, d. D.. of this place, left
Monday of last week to attend the
Southern Baptist Convention at Wash
ington, ID. c., and thcnce to Annapolis,
Nd, to the graduating exercises of the
Naval Academy, from which Institution
her brother. j. Proctor Morton, gradu-
ates this year. From Annapolis Mrs.
G. will proceed to New York. and sail
thence to Campos, Brazil, her home,
early in June.
We hear of frequent night depreda-
lions in a small way in community
on the Fredericktown road about seven
miles south of Ironton. Corn and
has become entirely
too frequent for the comfort of those
who own such property. Spring-hous-
es also are not exempt. In one or two
instances the thieves have been tracked
to their houses, aud once, We under
stand. compromise was effected upon
the thieves paying so much down on
the nail. A little law and justice
might be profitably dispensed in the
locality mentioned, and We advice the
parties most interested to look a little
ont.
The new hotel at Arcadia makes a
magnificent appearance. 1t is situat-
ed so as to command a fine view, and
is itself q prominent feature of the
landscape. Mr.. Mangold is to be con-
graduated upon his enterprise. We
predict that it will have plenty OF Gus
tom when the travelling public get ac-
auainted with it. Every arrangement
has been made to make the wayfariDg
man comfortable. The verandas on
three sides of the hotel afford pleasant
lounging places. and from the top of
the house the whole Valley is spread
out like a map. The culinary depart
ment is all that could be wished. and
everything promises a bright future
for the new hotel.
