All are doing very well, but we ander-
stand the Professor is all at sea ior q
name. He had intended naming the
newcomer w. J. Bryan.
At Des Arc Bryan Silver Club Iwas
organized on last Saturday with aI en-
rollment of 118 members. The tote
at the primary at that pricinct his
year was IA, and at the general eec-
tion in 1892 1t was 105. The sitter
craze is still dying out, it seems.

Mr.. Marshall is still in precarious
condition from the wounds received
Wednesday of last week, though it is
thought he is improving a little. The
doctors are doing their utmost to save
his arm and may yet succeed, though
a. first the case seemed hopeless. The
marsbal's star which he wore on his
left breast at the time of the encounter
probably saved him from instant death.
1t bears the marks of the dagger,
which was by this interposition pre-
vented from reaching a vital part.
The Pennington Fair, September
29tb, and 3Oth, and October 1st, is be-
ing thoroughly advertised and promis-
es to be the most successful one held

tions for each day. Our wheelmen
should carry away some of the prizes
offered in the daily bicycle races.

Accepting an invitation from the
Presbyterian church of Ironton ex-
tended to the Presbytery of st. Louis,
that body held its regular Fall Meet
ing in our town Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of last week. Nearly
all except routine business is usually
transacted by that body at its Spring
Meeting, consequently the social part
constituted no incOHsiderable feature
of the gathering Of the many ministers,
some of worldwide reputation. The
attendance was about twenty, most OF
whom came on Tuesday and were met
at the train by Presbyterians and 9TH
er town people, who took them to
their homes and entertained them dur
ing their stay. Rev. Geo. H. Duty
assigned the guests to the satisfaction
of both entertainers and entertained.
On Wednesday dinner and supper
were served in the basement of the
church by the ladies of the church and
their friends of other denominations.
1t would be impossible to describe the
dinner and serving on the two long
tables twice filed, better than to say
that Ironton ladies did their best. At
ter dinner speeches by DR.. Ferguson,
Mr.. Spring, Rev. G. ID. McCulloch,
and others, were made, expressing
pleasure in visiting the Valley and
admiration of the rugged beauty of
the Ozarks." The people were treat
ed to fine sermons by the Moderator,
Rev. H. G. Evans. DR.. F. L. Ferguson
and Rev. H. NJ. Campbell. On Thurs
day morning after adjourning, the
members of the Presbytery visited
Graniteville church, from which place
most of the gentlemen went to Mid
dlebrook to take the train for their re-
spective homes. Some prominent st.
Louis Presbyterian ministers were alb
sent. having not yet returned from
their vacations. Tho list contains

teriaus. Those present were: Revs.

Much pleasure results from reading
of gallant deeds and acts OF daring.
The combat around the walls of Troy,
where the mighty Ajax. the brave
Achilles and the gallant Hector strove
to excel one another, has always been
a fruitful theme. These old stories
must be abandoned now, and give
place to the gallant struggle between
