A NUMBER OF our people seem TO
be California-way inclined these
days. If we may Judge the future
by the past, in the course of the
next year most of them will be
longing for old Missouri, just as
much as they are hankering for
California now.

so pleasantly situated for the next
few years.

E. T. Elgan last week sold his

Postmaster Bishop has received
instructions to dispatch north
bound mail on No. 4-commencing
September 14th-the date train No.
s is taken off the road. Mail for
this train will be closed about $3.50
o'clock P. M. We do not know
whether this train will stop at
Ironton for passengers. If it does
not, north bound passengers who
do not get away on the 1885 train
in the morning will not be able to
leave Ironton until five o'clock
next morning.
Our good friend, A. Winkler, Of
Poplar Bluff, at present sojourning
in the Rocky Mountains, sends us
a bundle of Denver papers. Along
about the same mail we also re-
ceived a box of very fine cigars.
The postmark was indistinct and
there were no other marks to in
dictate who was the generous send
or, but the handwriting is very
much like Gus and we very much
suspect he's the guilty party. Any
way, we'll think of you, Gus, as
we enjoy the fragrant weed, and
the smoke disappears in space.

everybody had ample time to get
their stock up. "Uncle Eli" AXE
