upon the proposed system. A
representative of the company is
expected in Potosi within the next
three or four weeks to obtain the
right of way and depot facilities
here. This enterprise should meet
with the hearty encouragement OF
the people in this section of the
state.-Potosi Journal.
1t is with great pleasure we an
nounce that Mr.. Louis Miller has
reached an agreement with the
railroad company that will result
in a modern S25, 900 or $50, 600 hotel
being built on the Arcadia Hotel
lots in the near future. Mr.. Miller
has been negotiating with the COM
pany for some time in regard to
this property but heretofore no sat-
isfactory arrangements could be
made. Now, however, the parties
have come to an agreement and a
written contract will be entered in
to in a few days. An up-to-date
hotel in the Valley will be of i'm
mense benefit to us and we have no
doubt it will prove a great success.
Geo. G. Burdick, Chief Clerk of
the Railway Mail service, st. Louis.
was here last Saturday evening in
vestigating III complaints relative
to present mail service. Mr.. Bur-
dick readily agreed that the service
was not what it should be and said
when he left here that he was going
to make an effort to have No. 20,
the train that goes north at 500 in
the evening stop here and take
mail. We hope Mr.. Burdick will
be successful for we need that train
for mail service and passenger SER
vice as we'll. If he fails to accom-
plish anything our people should
take the matter in hand and see
what they can do. Everybody
agrees that our present service is
miserably inadequate.
A couple of attorneys were here
from Mexico, Mo-, last week TAX
ing dispositions before Mr.. Edgar,
in a case where j. L. Smith, of
Ironton, is plaintiff, and the Mexi-
co Land and Loan Company, de-
PENDANT. Smith recently removed
here from Mexico. Just before
coming he traded a farm, near
Mexico, worth $4,000 to the de-
PENDANTS for $40 acres of wild land
in Reynolds county. Smith seeks
to have the deed set aside on the
ground of misrepresentation, say
ing that the defendants represented
to him that the Reynolds county
land was worth $40 an acre, when
it is not worth more than 81. He
also alleges that when he made a
visit here to see the land defend
ants agent showed him land other
than they decided him, giving him
to understand that was the land he
was getting. The case will be tried
in the Audrain circuit court.
B. A. Hoskins, B. B. Bisch and
DR.. Williams, of Flat River, came
over on the Southern Missouri
Tuesday, and drove down to Iron
Mountain, where they attended
a meeting of the stockholders of
the Iron Mountain lake, and laid
before them a proposition to re-
pair the dam recently broken by
the heavy rains, and convert the
lake into a private fishing place,
to be controlled by a. sporting club
now being organized. Messrs.
Bisch and Williams were here
again on Thursday and stated that
their proposition had been ac-
cepted and that H. Parks has
already been placed in charge of
the grounds as Waterman. The
work of repairing is to begin at
once, and one of the buildings now
there is to be fitted up as a club
house. This ends the fishing at
Iron Mountain lake, so far as the

you're a good little wife and l
don't know what l would do with
out you" And as he spoke he
put his arms about her and kissed
her and she forgot all else in that
moment. And, forgetting all, she
sang on as she washed the dishes,
and sang on as she made the beds,
and the song was heard next door,
and the woman there caught the
refrain and sang also, and two
homes were happier because he
had told her that sweet old story
the story of a love of a husband
for a wife. AS she sung the butch
er boy who called for the order
heard it and went out whistling on
his journey, and the world heard
the whistle, and n man hearing
it thought, "here is one lad who
loves his work, a lad happy and
contented." And because she
sang her heart was mellowed, and
as she swept about the back door
the cool air kissed her each cheek
and she thought of a poor old
woman she knew, and a little
basket went over to that home
with a quarter for a crate or two of
wood. So, because he kissed her
and praised her the song came and
the influence went out and out.
Pass on the praise. A word and
you make a rift in the cloud, a
smile and you may create a new
resolve, a grasp of the hand and
you may repossess a soul from
hell. a
