Prof. G. W. Buford began teaching
Arcadia Public School as principal,
September 2, 1895, and. after closing
a successful term of eight months, he
went south and commenced the Glover
school the following Monday, where
he was only hired for one month on
trial. Giving satisfaction he was hired
for another month, and. so on, until
five months were taught. 1t was the
desire of most of the people for Mr..
Buford to remain one month longer,
but he found another school at Pine
Grove which closed last Friday. This
was his third term of school at that
place. He says he is proud to say
that his last term was conducted with
the best order and discipline, without
having to iuflict corporal punishment
on a single one. Mr.. Buford has now
taught seventeen months in succession
with only a few holidays rest, and
seven terms have been taught by him
in the last four years.
A new time card went into effect on
the Iron Mountain road last Sunday.
The day passenger trains, Nos. 81 and
so, now meet at Ironton station at lao
p. VI. The most important change on
the new card is in the time of the north
bound fast mail, which now passes
here at 4:l6 in the evening instead of
6:55 as heretofore. The train does not
stop here nor at Arcadia, thus compell-
ing all people from this section who
want to travel north in the afternoon
to take No. So at ! 40 P. NJ. The fast
train certainly ought to stop at the
Irouton statiou-by far the most i'm
portant point and where more business
is transacted than at any station be-
tween De Soto and Poplar Bluff-and
it is impossible to understand the ac-
ton of the company in not stopping it
here. The train under the present
| schedule makes the run from here tn St
