other home in the same vicinity.
Parson Steve Tulluck attended
a colored Baptist Association in
De Soto the past week. Steve
says that some one had evidently
given the fowls due notice for they
all roasted very high in the trees.
We are not yet advised as to
what the railroad company pro-
poses doing in reference to our
request for better train service at
this station. Some definite infor-
nation will likely be forth coming
in few days.
A special agent of the railroad
company was here one day last
week, trying to learn something of
an alleged attempt to wreck train
near the Pilot Knob bridge. If
anything was ascertained it has
not been made public.

it by the red lamplight.
Louis Miller in Arcadia says that
he has $4,000 to invest in modern
and up-to-date hotel building in
Ironton. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that somebody else will
show the same public spirit and
enterprise. We most assuredly
are in need of the hotel.

Arc and Brunot, a gold watch,

The express service still con-
tinues rank. The men who took
the place of the strikers have not
yet "caught on" to their job. The
only thing first-class about the
service is the price. 1t is "way out
of sight" Just little better than
stealing; and hardly that.

his farm, south of town, has re-

Mayor Edgar, in company with
the members of the railway COM
mission, visited Manager Cotter's
office in st. Louis, last week, ask
ing better train service at this
station. Mr.. Cotter was at home
sick, but the matter was laid be-
fore his chief clerk, and a decision
will probably be announced in a
few days.
Be sure to come out on Thurs
day, Dec. 18th, to the horticultural
lectures at the courthouse, 2 P. M.
and 1880 P. M. Everybody is in
terested in this movement to grow
fruit for commercial purposes, and
all should come out and show that
interest. Four men of prominence
in fruit culture will be ready to tell
you all about it.
Owing to the fact that number
of the smaller children taking part
in the "Mother Goose" entertain
ment were afflicted with severe
colds, and the weather so change
able, it was considered wise to
postpone for a time, until con-
ditions in general were more favor
able. The date will be announced
later, and it is hoped the delay will
prove advantageous to all.
Postmaster Sample has been
corresponding with the "powers
that be" in regard to better mail
facilities for Fredericktown and
about all the comfort he has got
ton is the suggestion of a star route
from Ironton, by which we may
get our mail at least an hour earlier
than the train brings it. We seem
to be in the middle of a fix. A
star route from Ironton would not
be feasible. e.-Frederickto,Un Tribune.
