Rev. T. A. Waterman, repre-
sentative of the st. Louis press,
arrived Tuesday by way of De
Soto, having furnished reports of
the convocation there. He left the
next day for st. Louis, expressing
thanks for the kindness and
courtesy extended during his visit,
which was the occasion of much
pleasure, not unmixed with sad
ness at the number Of changes.
He will be at 1910 Locust street on
the 10th of next month, when he
invites everybody to take dinner
| with him in honor of his birthday.
The petition asking the county
court to order an election to de-
termine whether or not the county
seat will be moved to Ellington,
was not presented to the court this
week, but we are informed by At
torney Shuck that it will be at the
May term of the court. The ques-
ton of county seat removal can
not be voted on until the general
election, provided it is voted on at
all, and in the meantime the coun-
ty officials can be found doing
business in one of the most sub
stantial little houses in this "neck

No. 1 now stops at Ironton sta.
ton to unload st. Louis passengers
only. That is, if there are no
passengers from st. Louis on the
train it does not stop here. With
this regulation in force the train
will not get by this station one
day in the week, but the un-
certainty attaching to the train
stopping makes it very uusatis-
factory. The train went by this
station Monday evening, and there
were a half dozen or more people
at the depot expecting to board
the train for the south. We need
the train and we have no doubt
that if the matter was properly
presented to the officials they
would make this a regular stop.
