Sunday was a 'sred letter" day for
Ironton base ball players. They just
scoopsd up everything in sight. The
first nine played a game at Iron
Mountain and were victorious in a
score of 10 to /. The kids played the
M~iddlebrook boys and won, the score
standing II to 8. And the Ironton
colored nine beat a Pennington team
rs to Is. Sunday was surely Ironton's
day.

A man by the name of Foster from
Elvins WAS here Tuesday looking for
a bay mare and colt that had been
stolen from his meadow the morning
before at nine o'clock. A man and
colt answering the description were
taken through here Monday evening
headed southwark. The nan who had
them in charge was somewhat uneasy
and seemed very anxious to sell. Eos
ter on getting this information, felt
certain he was on the right trail and
proceeded with his search. Later
Foster located his mare and colt on
Marble Creek but the thief had gotten

The Iron Mountain will begin lay
ing new steel between Poplar Bluff
and Dexter in a few days. The steel
will be %75-pound weight and will put
the road in shape to handle the heavy
freights between St. Louis and this
city. As soon as the bridge Is COM
pleted at Gray's Point, which will be
in about eighteen months, all freight
trains on the Iron Mountain, except
trains No. II and rs, between St.
Louis and Poplar Bluff, will be run
from here to Dexter and there take
the Cotton Belt into St. Louis. The
main line will be used for passenger
trains and fast freights. -Poplar Bluff

The Iron Mountain Railroad COM
pany has given an order for 10000
ties, to be delivered at Walnut Ridge,
Ark. This confirms the report that
a division point will be made there.
The ties ordered will make near thirty
miles of track. The establishment of
switch yards at Walnut Ridge means
that Newport will lose the division
point if the company decides to make
a long division. 1t is probable that
Poplar Bluff will lose the division
point. The ground for a switch yard
has been looked owe at Piedmont, and
the three divisions may be- as follows:
st. Louis to Piedmont, 118 miles.
Piedmont to Walnut Ridge, 81 miles.
Walnut Ridge to Little Ridge, 124
miles. The only hopes that De Soto,
Poplar Bluff and Newport have of re-
tanning their position as division points,
is that the company will decide to
make shorter divisions by adding
Piedmont and Walnut Ridge.-PopIar
