bers Of st. Paul's will be gratiied to
hear that Mr.. r. is getting along all
right in the Land of Flowers and that
charge is in prosperous condition, as
is partly evidenced by the number OF
baptisms and combinations for June.

in trim, and the attendance at services

The Daughters OF Rebekah gave a
picnic and ball at Annapolis last Satur-
day which it vas my good fortune to
attend. The "Budwelser" orchestra
from Ironton furnished music for the
day and evening. A large crowd was
In attendance and the sum netted was
about $42-to be used in the purchase

great credit is due for the success at
tending the affair. The day passed
pleasantly, except for one disturbance
of which l shall speak more freely
hereafter. The good people OF that
town should provide themselves with
an officer to keep the peace on such
occasions.
Sheriff Polk Wednesday Of last week
received 3 telephone message from
George Moore at Mineral Point saying
that the day before a couple of gray
horses had been stolen from him and
that he thought the thieves were COM
ing this way. On inquiring the Sheriff
ascertained that a couple Of horses
answering the description of the stolen
ones had been driven through Granite
Vile the day before and he and con
stable Marshall at once started on the
trail of the fugitives. They rode two
days in the west end Of the county but
could get no tidings of the missing
horses. After leaving Graniteville
there was no trace, whatever, of them
and the Sheriff thinking further pur-
suit useless came home Thursday
night.
Sam Shy Of Sabula and Will Nc
Glothlin, Drew Lloyd and Erastus Wells
Of Annapolis were arrested a couple of
weeks ago charged with destroying
several panels of fence on the farm OF
John Crowley at Des Arc. The boys,
it seems, had all been down to Des
Arc to hear the famous dog trial a
couple OF weeks ago and their sympa-
thies were with the plaintiff. John
Crowley vas a juror in the former trial
and had prevented a verdict in favor
OF the plaintiff. These boys, to show
their disapproval, destroyed his fence.
The suit was originally brought before
Squire johnson in Des Arc and a
change Of taken to Annapolis.
When the case was called there one
day last week it was dismissed because
Of some error in the transcript.
The board OF directors OF the cleo
trio railway company was unable to
raise the $47, 900 necessary to pay off
all indebtedness and put this end of
the road In operation, but took bonds
to the amount OF $31, 900, which was
sufficient to pay off the liens against
the property and prevent the appoint
ment of a receiver in the U. S. Circuit
Court in St. Louis on Monday. On
Friday OF last week it was thought that
local aid would be procured, and that
enough bonds would be sold TO put the
road in operation, but a hitch occurred
and nothing was done. A. A. Doughty
Of Mine La Motto was in Pennington
the latter part OF last week and made
a proposition to the company, but it
was not accepted. Hon. E. A. Rozier
was in St. Louis Saturday and had the
receivership proceedings dismissed in
the U. S. Circuit Court. AT a meeting
of the board of directors on Monday
night the order for cars and rolling
stock was countermanded. The rail.
way will continue to lie idle until
something a be done in a financial
way.-Farmington Times.
