Our pugilistic member, Frank Par

pany, and has decided not to go to
Chicago,
Our young friend Fletcher c. Walk
en-. assistant editor of the Columbus,
KY, Critic, is in the city, where he
has secured a position on one of the
local papers. Fletcher has made ap-
plication for membership in the Iron
County Club, which no doubt will be
favorably reported. He is a bright,
steady boy, and we wish him the best
of success in his new enterprise.
L. Kness, formerly of Belleview,
Mo, now business agent of the A. o.
B. and NJ. W, was a welcome visitor
at the club. Mr.. Kness says that he is
a constant reader of the club notes,
and that he is never lost as to the do
ings and whereabouts Of the boys.
j. +. Mitchim, editor of the De Soto
Press, and candidate for Democratic
nomination for State Senator goth Dis
trict, a a welcome visitor TO the
club. AS before stated, this club is
n~on-political in its news, but we wish
Mr.. Mitchim success; and if there
were more of his kind in our state
legislature this city would reap the
benefit of the change.
Our genial friend S. Price RagSdale

A negro belonging to a minstrel

day last week. Another tragedy
caused by the high price of eggs,
Our president received a most agree
able surprise on Valentine Day, in the
form of pair Of pen-wipers made from
a pair of cuffs, from a popular young
lady of Iron county. John says that
being "cuffed" around in the world
isn't so bad after all, and wishes to
thank the fair giver for the valentine,
which was most appropriate and ap-
probable.
We are surprised that our good
friend Col. C, N. Walker, editor of the
Columbus, Ky, Critic, should write a
leading editorial endorsing Congress-
mar Wheeler's unacceptable and slur-
ing remarks relative to Prince Henry
and his visit to America. We have
found in Col. Walker a true type of
the courteous and courageous Kentucky
gentleman, and we know of nothing
that could have prompted these un-
kind and unwelcome remarks, except
undue zeal or misplaced patriotism,
When Col. Walker derides the visit Of
an Admiral Of the German Navy, not
by birth mind you, but by hard work,
study and fitness; a brother of the
ruling monarch and a man of pure
home relations, it is to say the least,
"a cold respect to stranger guest,
oent Hlther by MS KING S Denest.
No, friend Charles, twisting the lions
tail, or pulling the tail feathers out of
the German eagle, don't make patriot
ism and partisanism synonymous.
Louis Menge has been under the

the new baby, Louie?
H. S. and W. +. Eftinger have for

like it we will order a few lots.

in Harmony Hall. Must have been a
warm dance.
While the Pikers were making
merry at the Planters, their allies, the
Iron County Club, was celebrating the
anniversary of the birth of the Father
OF u Country in true patriotic fash
ion. Though they could not boast 200
strong, they made up for that by the
manner in which all joined in to have
a merry time. The banquet was com
menced by a grand Grafton from our
president, j. W. Jaquith, entitled
''The Village in Which we Live" The
"Buffalo" quartette then rendered the
selection ''Prince Henry is on the
Ocean," after which Secretary Walters
spoke of old Iron county and the
famous men it has produced for our U.
s. The 'quartette then sang when
Sammy l.. Gets His Cum" after which
Hon. f. j. Killalee spoke of the Club
