speak for them abundant success.
They will be in Ironton again in about
sixty days.
On the first page of this paper is
published the prospectus of the ST.
Louis Star-Sayings-the hyphenated
title being according to the copy fur
nished, although we see that the name
has since been contracted to the st.
Louis Star: change for the better,

newsy and original; just the sort of
paper to fit the busy multitude. For

The era of sidewalk improvement is
here, and we are assured that ere the
robin sings again one may walk dry
shod from the southern limits of town
northward clear to the elegant edifice
which does duty for the railroad as a
station-house. The surroundings, GER
tainly, ought to be brought to 'post-
pone" to so elegant structure as our
daypo. Marble halls should be sup
plemented with dry gravel walks, at
least.

of her pupils in Arcadia and Ironton,
has established music rooms in both

ure bears testimony to her efficiency as
a teacher, and her establishing music
room here is matter of great conven-
ience to those who avail themselves OF
her proficiency in the divine art.
