Thos. johnson, the truck farmer
who lives east of town, is now in
telephone communication with
town, having built a line to con-
meet with the local system. Messrs.
Love and Alexander, who live in
the same vicinity, will also have
use of the line.
1t has not yet been discovered
who broke into Tual's store in
Arcadia Tuesday night of last
week. The burglars only secured
about So worth of goods, and it is
thought they must have been
frightened away before they had a
chance to get all they wanted.
Union services are in progress
having reference to the Week of
Prayer for Missions Abroad. There
was a meeting at the Baptist
church last evening. There will
be one at the Fort Hill Methodist
church tonight and at the Presby-
terrain church tomorrow evening.
E. M. Logan, of Belleview, was
in town last week for the first time
in three months, having been con-
fined to his room nearly all that
time with sickness. He has not
yet entirely recovered from his
long siege, but is getting along
very well and hopes soon to be all
right.
Over in the lead belt what are
called "Union Stores" are being
organized. Every man who trades
at the store pays one dollar a
month dues and is then supposed
to get his goods at cost. Such an
institution hardly seems practical
and we do not believe will be very
long-lived.
Rev. Smalley, the pastor of the
colored church here for the past
year, has been transferred to
Bridgeton in st. Louis county.
Owing to the fact that the congre-
cation here does not contribute
sufficient to support a minister, the
church on lions Hill will be with
out a pastor the ensuing year.
Rev. Koeth, pastor of the M. E.
Church, is attending conference at
Carthage, Mo-, this week. During
the past year his work has been
very successful; there has been
something like ninety additions to
the church and over ITO CONVEX
sions. We hope to have him re-
turned for another year.-Doe Run

VIM. Volner, ex-presiding Judge
of the County Court of Reynolds
county, was a visitor to Ironton
last Saturday. Judge olner says
that all kinds of deceit and scull-
duggery were resorted to by the
Folk crowd to carry that county
for Governor. Judge Volner is a
reliable man, and those who know
him will not doubt his statement.
Nos. 5 and 4, both passenger
trains, had a head-end collision at
Cadet last Thursday shortly be-
fore midnight. No one was ser
iously hurt, but the track was
blocked for several hours inscon-
sequence. 1t is said that the col
lision was occasioned by the con-
ductor on No. 5 failing to deliver
his orders to the engineer. Geo.
Shourds was the conductor on
No. 8.
