The agent here last week re-
ceived orders from headquarters
to measure the depot and also
state when the structure was built.
This may be in response to ouI
petition of few weeks ago asking
for a new station. The present
structure was built in 1872 and has
outlived it's usefulness.

time or until she RECEIVERS her
health, which she thinks will be
moro quickly restored in Hills
bsro than in any other spot on

There were some "doings" not
down on the docket during the re-
cent term of circuit court in Rey-
nolds county. An affidavit was
filed in a certain civil suit declar-
ing the court was prejudiced and
asking the case be sent elsewhere.
The court declared the affidavit
perjury and threatened disbarment
proceedings against the attorneys
filing it. In turn the attorneys de-
clared they would go to the Su-
preme Court for a writ of prohibi-
ton, one of the attorneys even GO
ing SO far as to threaten impeach-
ment proceedings against the
judge at the next meeting of the
legislature. After so long a time
things simmered down to some ex-
tent and business was proceeded
with but there is still some feeling
over the matter.
1t is learned from an unofficial
source that all ballasting work on
the Iron Mountain, says the New
port Independent, has been discon-
tinued, and that all equipment and
power heretofore engaged in this
work is to be turned into the reve-
nue. service. This order from the
management of the Iron Mountain
is taken to be indicative of two
things. The first is that the short
age of cars in many sections of the
country has made it necessary to
put every car into revenue service.
The other, and perhaps the most
important at this time, is that just
prior to the last report of the earn
ings of the system, reports were
rife that the net earnings would
fall far below the standard, and
indeed there were rumors that the
dividend would be passed. How
ever that may be, it is certain that
all power and equipment which
has been in the ballasting service
for some time will be returned to
the regular traffic department and
that the former work is discon-
tinued indefinitely.
The bazar and supper given un-
der the auspices of the Ladies'
Guild of st. Paul's Church last
Thursday was a success and the
net proceeds-about one hundred
dollars-will 60 toward the reduce
ton of the debt on the rectory.
The ladies were ably assisted by
several other members of the
church and some members of the
other Christian bodies aided them
very materially. The childrens
booth was a new feature at this
bazar-most Of the things exhib-
tied therein being made by girls
under twelve years in age and
making very creditable appear
ance, as we'll as adding a neat sum
to the proceeds. The Guild warm
ly thanks all those who by their
contributions, their work, and
their purchases helped to make
this affair a success. May the
next bazar be equally prosperous.
The rector of st. Paul's believes in
reciprocity in such affairs and is
glad to note that many of his peo-
pie patronize the suppers and en-
tertainments given by other orga-
nizations.
