One morning last week No. 10,
the north bound train at four
o'clock in the morning went whiz-
zing by the station here, although
the red board was out and the train
had a meeting order on No. 7, the
south-bound fast mail. The train,
however, was stopped at Middle
brook and a collision between two
passenger trains narrowly averted.
Several passengers, who were at
the station here waiting for the
train, got away on No. 2 the fol-
lowing morning.
Rev. T. A. Waterman, who has
not beeni in the best of health lately,
is for the present associated with
Rev. J. L. Gay, now in his ninety
fifth year, the oldest Episcopal
clergyman in the world, in attend
ing to the publishing and circula-
ton of a book which aims to
identify Peter Stuart Ney, Father
Gays former schoolmaster, with
Napoleon's celebrated Marshal
Ney, ''the bravest of the brave"
He sends a New Years greeting to
everybody in the Valley. x.
Mr.. Kendall, sexton of the Ma
sonic Cemetery, informs me that
some one during the Holidays
ruined the holly tree in Mrs. VIM
fields lot by denuding it of nearly
all it's berry-bearing branches. l
regret exceeding to have to chron-
icle such a thing as this, but can
not avoid entering my protest
and, indeed, it is the protest of all
good citizens who pride themselves
in our well-kept little cemetery
against it. Shall not even the last
resting-place of those whose mem
ory we cherish, be held sacred
from the hand of the despoiler? l
hope never to be called upon to
record a like occurrence

home, the following morning for

A man by the name of Gentry
from st. Francois county passed
through here one day last week
looking for a stolen horse.
He went south from here and
found his horse in the possess
sion of one Albert Radford, who
lives across the line in Madison
county. Radford got the animal
from a stranger. While in Rad
ford's neighborhood Gentry also
found a horse that had been stolen
from a neighbor of his last June.
Gentry returned to st. Francois
county and the neighbor will prob
ably be through here soon looking
for his horse that has been so long
missing. The horse thief is get
ting altogether too numerous in
this section and he should be sum-
marily dealt with.
Mayor Edgar last Friday NORM
ing received word from Supt.
Tyler of the railroad company
that, commencing with that day,
No. 7, the south-bound passenger
train at 6:15 in the morning, and
No. 2, the north-bound passenger
train at S:42 A. M, would stop at
this station. This is just the SER
vice we have been asking for and
just what we want, and our town
has better train service than it has
ever had before. Our people are
under obligations to Mayor Edgar
who has devoted no little time and
labor to secure this concession
from the railroad. And we are
obliged to Supt. Tyler, too. The
Valley now has four trains daily
from st. Louis and three trains
to st. Louis. We are satisfied
and pleased.
Word comes to us from Flat
River and that on good authority
that trouble is in store for the miners
who went on strike at the Central
mines week before last. The best
we can learn from the latest report
is that the Central Lead Company
