H. NJ. Collins, Ironton's progressive
and up-to date livery man, yesterday
received about the finest vehicle in the
shape of surrey ever brought to
Southeast Missouri. The axles are
rollerbearing. and the wheels whirl
around as smoothly, rapidly and accu-
rately as those of the finest bicycle.
The running gear throughout, the up
holstering and other features are all
tirst-class. In brief, it is a model rig,
and with one of Collins spanking tip
top teams in front you can just get a
glimpse of it .'goin' and cominm as
they dash along the street. Mr.. Col
Inns wants the public to understand his
livery outfit is up-tO-date in every par
ticular, and he guarantees to please.
Says the Bismarck correspondent to
the Pennington Herald: while
George Clarkson was reposing peace
fully and dreaming of milling deals
and buying wheat for use in his specu
lating enterprises-not dreaming of
| harm in the least-a regular sneak
thief, a practical and artful rogue of
the first water, entered his dwelling
stealthily and pilfered his pantaloons
in the pockets of which were fifty dol
lars. George is a liberal business man
| if the meteoric and picturesque scoun-
drel is in need of that filthy old lucre,
why he is willing to let it go. Well,
George, we can sympathize with you;
we have lost all of ours"

Says Wednesdays Republic: s'Bar-
ney Frauenthal, the lightning answer |
artist in charge of the Bureau of H. |
formation at Union Station, has gone |
to the wilds of Southern Missouri and |
Northern Arkansas. A number of |
congenial companions are awaiting |
Barney's arrival, and, while he is So
journing in the woods down there, he |
will. by way of advertisement and re-
Taxation from his usual mental duties, |
profound a number of unanswerable |
questions to the finny denizens of the
ST. Francis, White and Black rivers, |
and other luscious streams in the vi
cinity, as to why they should not fur
uish him supply of brain food for use
in his professional work. Ii Barney's |
dexterity with the rod and gun equals
