down In corner, the desired
information was found. The pack
age was sent by a Turk in Ironton,
who deals in dry goods and no.
tions, wholesale, to a compatrioi
in Ellington, who sells them retail.
The entire address had been put
on in Turkish characters, while
the English address and other
marks were left to care for them
selves in a hidden spot on the
wrapper.-Poplar Bluff Republican.
A new time card went into effect
Sunday. One new passenger train
each way is put on the road and
there are several changes in the
time of the old ones. Our service
now is No. 10 north at sos A. M,
and No. s north at $40 A. M. Our
south-bound trains are No. 7 at
6:15 A. M, No. 1 at 5:35 P. NJ, and
No. 8 at 1928 midnight. No. 3,
south bound, stops at Arcadia as
heretofore. This leaves us with
but two trains north a day, both
in the morning about four hours
apart. That means if you do not
get out of here at 9:40 in the morn
ing, there is no opportunity to get
north again until the following
morning at sos. There are trains
going north, No. 4 at 4:22 P. NJ,
and No. 20 at 500 P. M, but they
do not stop here. THE company
should give us one of these trains.
Public convenience, and comfort
demands it. There are now four
teen trains on the road daily
seven each way. Surely we are
not unreasonable in asking that
three of the north bound trains
stop at this station. We must
have the service, and let us make
no delay in asking for it.
The public schools of Ironton
closed last Friday with an enter
tainment at the Academy of Music
in the evening. A fine audience
greeted the little folk and the pro-
gramme was creditable to all. Ora
tons, essays, drills, songs, and
choruses, and instrumental music,
excellently rendered, gave pleas
ure to the auditors and reflected no
little credit on the pupils and those
to whose charge they had been
committed for the past year. An
address OF no ordinary merit, en-
titled, "The Boy Absalom-is He
Safe?" by the principal, Prof.
Daugherty, was received with ap-
plause and attentively heard. 1t
appealed to the responsibility of
the parent and set out in terse, for
chile terms the duty that God and
society demanded of them. l know
of no more cogent reasoner than
Mr.. Daugherty, nor one of greater
breadth of mind or kindness of
heart. He is withal an excellent
and a fine disciplinarian.
His future success Hes with HIM
self, and his natural endowments
are ample. The school results
here testify to his merits and those
of his competent corps of assist
ants.

Everybody from all over the
county-that is, nearly everybody
was in Ironton last Saturday,
and all were happy. They came
afoot, on horseback, in wagons
and by rail to the Lopez Store
Company's opening, and none
were disappointed. The pro-
gramme advertised for the day

linery. the general display-was
