The business men OF the Valley
and the travelling men who visit
here r going to make an effort to
have Nos. 3 and 4, the fast mail
trains, stop at this station. Petit
tons addressed to the Board of
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioners asking this service will be
circulated for signatures within a
few days. We hope something
will result from the move. We
need the service of these trains and
need them badly here.

Don't you get scared or be UNI
easy when you see that grin on DR..
Smiths face this week, which is
like a poor mans lease, from
"year to year" The DR.. is hap
Ply, and he has something to make
him grin: that debt which has
been hanging over the M. E.
Church and parsonage for the last
seventeen years has been paid.
There is not a dollar against the
property now, not even incidental,
and there is money in the treasury.
Shake hands with the DR.. and help
him and his Methodist friends re-
joice. r. G. PETERSON, Pastor.
Charles Davenport, a brakeman
on the Iron Mountain, was killed
last Monday night about two miles
south of Poplar Bluff. Davenport
started toward the engine, and as
he attempted to jump from the car
to the tender lost his footing and
plunged headforemost to his death.
The entire train passed over him
before it could be stopped. The
body was shipped to De Soto for
burial Tuesday. Davenport was
81 years old and this was his
second trip out. He was the son
of Tom Davenport, one of the
Oldest passenger conductors on the
Iron Mountain, and is highly es-
teemed.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES New
Woman'-given by the ladies at
the Academy of Music, Tuesday
night, was far beyond the average
both in conception and execution.
The room was flied with citizens
OF the Valley and st. Louis sum-
mer residents, who testified by
frequent applause their enjoyment
and approval of the good things
put before them. The stage repre-
sented the U. S. Senate Chamber,
and of course the Senators were
of the softer sex, the males having
long since been disfranchised and
relegated to the rear. Time, 1896.
Throughout the proceedings many
gentle "roasts' Of local nature
were distributed, and songs en-
livened the routine OF business. l
am afraid to particularize, know
ing the hereafter that might be in
store for ms because of my
awkward Faber; but can truly say
all the ladies entered into the fun
loving spirit of the occasion, and
that the songs were eXcellently
rendered without a single excep-
ton. Miss Maud Edgar made a
dignifed and obliging President,
though at times it taxed her ability
to the utmost to maintain decorum
and keep the Senators within the
bounds of courteous debate. Miss
Meta Baldwin as reading clerk was
above criticism in tone, method
and distinctness, while Miss Leah
O'Brien as sargeant-at-arms was
al fat and untiring in her arduous
duties. The little pages darted
hither and thither and put them
selves in the way as much as pos
sible, after the manner of pages
even at this day. The songs given
were as follows: Miss Lydia
Nagel, "Down Where the Wurz-
burger Flows" Miss Adele Han
son, "Sammy;" Mrs. VIM. j..
Schwab, "Lullaby;" Mrs. H. E.
Malugen, "Eva;" Miss Edgar,
CAL are Free;" Dora AXE, "Pinky
Panky Poo;" w. P. Wemp, "Dry
Those Tears" | congratulate
those participating, on the success
attending their endeavors, and
equal commentator is due to Mrs.
II. O'Brien under whose instruc-
ton, care and management the
entertainment was given. The
"Budweisers" assisted to the best
of their ability. I understand the
net proceeds resulting are in the
neighborhood of thirty dollars.
