Mr.. Ferry, who has been in the
employ of the screen factory here
for nearly a year past, left Satur-
day for his home in Michigan.
Mr.. Ferry, during his residence
here, made many warm friends
who regret to see him leave and
wish him well wherever he may
be.
Some negroes were brougt from
Arkansas to Gpsniteville last week
to work on the new railroad being
built to Sheahan's quarry. Some
one waited on the darkeys the day
of their arrival and told them they
had better leave. And that night,
sure-enough, they all skipped, and
the contractor had to look for 9TH
er labor.

It is said that the friends of one
of the candidates for circuit Judge
in Jefferson county is saying that
unless Jefferson county gets the
nomination for circuit judge that
county will 60 Republican in No
vember. While we are not play
ing any favorite for the judicial
nomination, and do not care who
gets it, just SO he is a good man
and a Democrat, if the above state
ment were made to US, we would
say let Jefferson county go and be
Miss Mary Charlotte Tetard of

Fredericktown now has but one
saloon and it's license expires about
the middle of August. The one
saloon in Madison county, though,
is said to be doing a very rushing
business. 1t is said that the wet
side has proven considerable I'M
fairness by the drys in the recent
local option election in Madison
county and there is a probability
that the circuit court will set the
election aside and hold it for
naught. But in that event the city
government will likely refuse Ii
cense in the corporate limits.
Arrangements are being made

the Pilot Knob Memorial Associa-
ton and those who have the affair

the Valley the largest crowd in its
history. Visitors are expected
from all over the United States.
Particulars will be made known in
due time.
Last Friday afternoon while j..
Fl. Irwin, a carpenter employed at
Huffman, was working on the new
buildings there, the scaffold gave
way with him and fell a clear fall
of thirty-tive feet to the ground.
The facts, as best we can get them,
are that Irwin had himself erected
the scaffold upon which he was to
work and in SO doing he had not
made it very substantial. He had
climbed upon the scaffold and be-
gun his work when the scaffolding
gave way with him, and the result
was that one leg was broken in
two places and an arm was broken
square off at the wrist, and besides
this he was bruised up consider
ably and also injured internally.
The injured man was taken to
the hospital at Bonnie Terre, where
he died Sunday morning. Mr..
Irwin was unmarried. He was
spoken of by those who knew him
as a young man of excellent char
acter and his untimely death is
very much regretted.-Irondale Ga

1t seems that several of our peo-
pie bought certificates from the
Christian Endeavor hotel people in
st. Louis, which would guarantee
them a room in this hotel during
the Worlds Fair. Some of the
people who had these certificates
were G. A. Cook, G. w. Brown and
w. D. Lasswell. When they went
to the fair with their families last
week they went to the hotel and
were informed that the house was
full and they could not get accom-
odations, and this in the face of
the fact that Mr.. Cook had notified
the manager when thew intended
