We don't know very much abou'
base ball, but it seems to us that wher
a club is called Ironton there should
be some Ironton players in it. We've
seen two or three games this season BY
so-called Ironton clubs, and in no cast
have there been three Ironton players
in the club.
Modern Woodmen Camp, No. 6451.

grand ball at the Masonic Hall al

The excursion from St. Louis to the
Valley, last Sunday, was we'll attended,
The train consisted of nine coaches,
we'll loaded, and a refreshment car.
The visitors spent a pleasant day and
started homeward about half-past six
o'clock. So liberal was the patronage
that the refreshment car sold out lock
stock and barrel before De Soto was
reached on the return trip.
The Republican Congressional con.
vention was held 10 Ironton last Thurs.
day. There was a fair attendance oil
delegates from out the district. Four
candidates were placed in nomination
Abbott of Madison, Wilson of St.
Francois, Raney and Enloe of Wayne.
On the third ballot John H. Kaney Of
Wayne received the nomination. Ii
is not to be expected that Mr.. Raney
will be elected but, perhaps, he enjoys
the novelty OF running.
One of the delegates to the Repub.
lican convention last Thurday-with
scarcely clothing enough to make a
respectable appearance-talked for
quite a while at the depot last We'd
nesday evening telling of the munif-
cent and fa%r-reaching prosperity, the
wisdom and goodness that the Repub-
lican party had brought to the land.
Five minutes later the same individual
was down town trying to get a $12
suit for Sand finally went away
without the suit.

1t is said that for $4,000 the Shut-Ir

their sorrow; yet would | like to. But

Another story that n of the pre-.
varicators that loaf about this town is
responsible for: The principal in the
story lives in the south end OF the
county or neal it. A year ago he Dor.
rowed a hundred dollars from his
nephew. A few months later the
nephew concluded to leave the country
and offered to cancel the interest Their
due if the uncle would pay the princi
ple-$100. This the uncle refused to
do but said he would give $50 in cash.
The nephew refused the offer. Now
that is a pretty mean story to tell or
a man.: He borrowed 800 from hi
nephew; then the nephew offered tt
give him the interest due; borrower
refused to do this but was willing tt
compromise on $50. What do YOU
think OF 1t?
