Louis Cleveland Miller, a tramp boy
about twelve years of age, was severe
ly burned with powder at Arcadia on
Saturday last. The boy had gotten
hold of some powder and touched a
match to it. Both hands and feet were
painfully burned and his face blister
ed. He was taken in charge by the
county and given attention. The
burns were not serious. but at this
time of the year particularly, are very
annoying and painful. The boy says
his home is in Tyrrell, Texas, and that
he was on his way there from st. Louis
when he me: with the accident. He
had sufficiently recovered to resume
his journey yesterday.
The new store building on the ''burnt

butcher and grocery business. They
propose carrying a complete line of

dition will conduct a first-class meat
market. These young men both pos
sess splendid business qualifications
and are held in the very highest es-
TEEN by the people who have known
and dealt with them for years. The
new firm will have the best wishes of
legions of friends for success.
The s.fourth" in the Valley was a
quiet day. The greater portion of the
celebrating here was done on the Sd.
Most of the business houses closed on
that day and people generally took a |
''day off, The picnics at Brady's |
grove south of Arcadia and at Han |
cocks, Pilot Knob. were both well at
tended and passed off quietly and |
pleasantly. The small boy with fire |
cracker was frequently in evidence and |
he spread his celebration over three |
days-Saturday Sunday and Monday. |
There were several elegant displays |
of fireworks. The more prominent be- |
ing those of Gen. Turner at Hillside"
on Sunday evening and at Mr.. II. j. |
Growers, Ironton, on Monday evening. |
While no grand or general celebration |
was INDUCED in, yet the day and occa-
sion in the Valley were appropriately |
and fittingly observed.
