aminer.
The present primary election
promises to be one of the quietesi
in the history of the county. But
We'll roll in the votes in the good
old way in November.
Wayne county went dry in the
local option there March 30th by a
majority of 1871. The drys say
that if the weather had not been so
bad their majority would have
been much greater.

Mrs. Christ has leased the Barn
house property on Main street,
and will open a bakery there with
as little delay as possible. The
oven left from the fire will be
moved to the Farmhouse lot at
once.
The Ironton colored school will
have commencement exercises in
the Academy of Music Monday
evening, April 23d. There are two
graduates this year, and an inter-
esting programme has been ar
ranged. An admission fee of %
cents will be charged.
Mrs. Christ says the report that
they lost property once before by
fire previous to their coming to
Ironton is a mistake. They were
victims OF the flood in East st.
Louis several years ago, but were
never burned out before.
Our neighbor, DR.. Marshall,
celebrated his birthday last Satur-
day. The DR.. refuses to tell us
just what anniversary this was,
but confesses to as many as
.twenty-six anyway. Here's hopin'
he'll have a thousand more.
The report that Mrs. Tornton,
widow of the late editor Thornton
of Belleview, is suffering from
smallpox is a mistake. Mrs.
Thornton has not been very well
the past week or so, but she is i'm
proving now, and it is hoped will
be in her usual health soon.
We have arranged with the con-
tractor whereby the removal of our
present store building and the
erection of the new, will not in
terfere in any way with our bust
ness, which will be continued with
out intermission.

er of our fellow townsman, R. T.
White, last Saturday secured the
nomination for County Clerk in
Madison county. We don't know
j. M, but if he's as good a man as
his Iron county brother, he should
get most all the votes in Novem-
Der.

shameful, and something should
be done to remedy the matter.
