P. NJ, and No. 9 going south a few
minutes after midnight. OuI
north-bound trains are No. 10 al
1851 A. NJ, and Nc. s at 4:47 P. NJ.
That is all the service we have.
If you can't get away at -four
o'clock in the morning going north
you have to wait until 4:43 in the
afternoon. Under the new sched-
ule there is a passenger train
through here north (but does not
stop at this station) at SAP and
one south THAT does not stop) at
1881 A. NJ. These trains should
stop at Ironton and then our SER
vice would be all that we could
ask. Our people should at once
make a move and endeavor to
to have this station made a stop
ping point for these trains. We
need them badly, and can't help
but think if the matter was prompt
ly represented to the railroad
authorities something might be
accomplished.
DIED-At the residence Of w. H.
Byers in Ironton, Mo-, at 1880
o'clock, Thursday evening, Oct.
Is, 1908, Mrs. M. A. Taylor, aged
SO years and eight months. The
deceased was the relict of the late
David L. Taylor, to whom she was
married 81 years ago. OF this
union four children were born,
Thebe, William, Margaret and
Mary A., the latter the late wife of
VIM. H. Byers Of this city. Mrs.
Taylor was born and reared in
Burks county, Penn, but many
years ago came west, where she
continuously resided until her
death. She was of the Van Zant
family whose ancestors were away
the first settlers of New York city.
The deceased had not been in good
health for some time and the an
nouncement of her death was no
surprise. Mrs. Taylor had lived
in lronton many years, making her
home with her son-in-law, Capt.
Byers. She was a good, true
woman and her relatives and
friends will long revere her men,
DRY. The funeral occurred from
the residence Saturday afternoon,
Rev. Triplett of Fort Hill Church
conducting the services and the
remains were inferred in the Ma
sonic cemetery. May she rest in
peace!
Last Wednesday evening "The
IBudweisers' went over to the
Arcadia College to pay their re-
spects to Fathers Wernent and
Huber and also to contribute as best
they might to the pleasure of the
pupils in attendance at the school.
First we were shown through the
newly built residence of the Faith
ers, a large and elegantly furn-
ished structure, with all the latest
conveniences and comforts attach
ing to a we'll ordered establish
ment. Then we were taken to the
recreation hall of the College,
whose ample dimensions were
filled with youth and beauty-with
the girlish forms and bright faces
we all love to look upon-with early
aspirations and buoyant hopes
with the sweetness and grace
that gentleness and innocence bless
and crown as with a halo. After a
few renditions by the orchestra,
and some very fine selections, vo-
cal and instrumental, by the young
ladies, the hall, at the word given,
was cleared of it's chairs as if by
magic, and "the dance was on"
Enjoyment was upon every face,
and rang out DER the room the
silvery sounds of laughter light.
Feet twinkled and the flush of
quickened pulse gave another
beauty to dimpled cheek. God
bless them all! would, if I could,
give to each and every n youth
and happiness perpetual. Too
soon, alaS! Q Cne DOundlng SplrlCS
which kept time to music's beat,
the hour for their retirement came.
Reluctantly-for the players had
their enjoyment, too, in the pleas
ure of the dancers-we put up our
instruments, babe all "Good-
night" and left the hall, and
silence and darkness succeeded the
cheer of light and the hustle of
life. With a short but very enjoy
able hour at the rooms of the
Fathers, "The Budweisers" re-
turned to their homes after as
pleasant an evening as one may
hope to know in this 'vale of
tears"
