One of the Hungarians who came
here to look at some of the COM
pany land this week purchased
Chas. Madlinger's farm, east OF
Pilot Knob. j. A. Kite, we are
told, has also sold his place to one
of the Hungarians.
We understand that the recent
purchasers of the Iron Mountain
property intend building a very
fine club house at the dam in the
near future and many other i'm
provements are contemplated. A
race track, it is said, will also be
provided.
Mr.. H. E. Blount, of this place,
has bought of the heirs of the late
W. A. Ryan the old home of the
family in the north end of town,
paying $500 for the place. Mr..
Blount will occupy the property

A special term of circuit court
was held in Wayne county last
week to try a number of men who
had been indicted for violation of
the local option law. All the cas-
es, we understand, were thrown
out of court on some techicality and
the offenders allowed to go free.
D. N. Holiday, circuit clerk of
Wayne county, was in Potosi on
Thursday last. MI. Holiday is
a member of the State Demo-
cratic Committee of the 18th Con-
gressional District, and is thinking
of entering the race for Congress

Our old friend Thos. jackson,
who for many years lived at An

C%entreville in Reynolds county,
where he is engaged in the saw
mill business. Mr.. jackson has
many friends in Iron county who
wish him all kinds of success in
his new home.
Ex-Judge E. M. bearing, of
Washington county, is at home
since the Legislature adjourned and
returned with a record the people

The Secretary Of the State Mon
day issued articles of incorpora-
ton to the Steel Hardware and
Lumber Company of Bismarck
capital stock, $4,000; stockholders,
Hugh Steel, Adrain Steel and
Flora Steel. The corporation will
conduct a general hardware and
lumber business at Bismarck.
From M. M. Kelly, the lumber
man, we understand that the Mis-
souri, Iron Company contemplate
cutting the timber on all their land
in this and Reynolds county. The
company owns thousands of acres
of good timber land and if they
are going to cut it up it will pro-
vide work for many saw mills.
Some of our fruit growers are
insisting that the very cold wealth
erlast winter did not hurt the peach
trees at all and that the outlook
now is good for a very large crop
Of peaches, provided they are not
injured by frosts yet to come.
The indications now are for a
good yield of all kinds of fruit.
The Pilot Knob public school
closed last Friday. Lee Barger,
who was principal the past year,
will not be ar applicant for the po-
sition this year. A number of APP
plications, it is understood, are in
the hands of the board. Miss
Mamie Brown will probably be
again selected to preside over the
primary department.
The spring opening of the Lo.
PEI Store Company Tuesday Of
last week attracted the usual large
crowd of visitors and was pro-
nounced a complete success by al
in attendance. The displays in
the various departments were ex-
ouisite and were generally admir-
ed and praised. The Budweisers
made music, and souvenirs were
| given to all the ladies.
1t occurs to us that the county
court might judiciously spent
some money for furniture in the
courthouse and repairing the in
terror of the building. A vault fol
valuable documents is also badly
needed. The money could not b.
more advantageously expended
and if the funds are available, ant
we think they are, there should b
no delay in making the improve
ments.
