1t is said that Messrs. w. H.
Thomson and G. N. Jones have
interested themselves in the move
to build dam somewhere in the

ize a stock company and have
quite resort there for fishing and

of water in the Valley will be a
great attraction.

can nominee for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, delivered a speech at the
courthouse Friday evening. Mr..
McKinley's talk was along the line
usually followed by the Republic

The span for the bridge across
Stout's creek, between Ironton and
Arcadia has been "lost on the
road" It looks like a pretty big
thing to be lost, but such seems to
be the facts in the case. The
bridge was loaded on Missouri
Pacific car No. 25,947 at st. Louis,
October Oath, and nothing has been
heard from the car since. 1t will
probably turn up in some far
distant land some day. In the
meantime those who travel be-
tween Ironton and Arcadia will
have to possess their souls in
patience.
