| brought to this office a half-dozen ears
of corn of different colOred grains and
variety. Last spring MIR. d. secured
some seed corn from a shipment of
very fine quality of st. Charles white

the lot were species of sugar corn, pop
corn, and the grains in color from a

An Outlook representative visited
the progressive little town of Ironton
| last week, and while there met many
| of her prominent business men. Iron
ton seems to be quite a manufacturing
town of late. She has two large Hub
factories with capacity of $4,000 per
day, and besides this there is being
established large Screen Door and
Window mandatory. She also has
saw mills, wagon shops, ETC., etc. The
Clark Hub Factory have put in cleo
trio lights about their plant, and, it is
said. will, in the near future, purchase
dynamo which will be sufficient to
light the city of Irontou with electric
lights. We met several of her mer-
chants while there, and secured quite
lot of advertising which will appear
in our next issue. Everything con-
sidered, Ironton is quite progressive
little town and has bright future
