from buying summer homes here.
A very prominent business man
from st. Louis was here a couple
of weeks ago looking around for a
home. He was very favorably
impressed, and had just about
completed arrangements for the

hours in reaching Union Station.
That settled it. The deal was off.
Our young friend, James L.
Brierton, who has been in the en-
ploy of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company at Birmingham,
Alabama, for the past seven years,
the first of the present month as
ISOLATED himself with the Central
Coal and Iron Company at Holt,
Alabama. Mr.. Brierton's position
is that of assistant to the general
manager, and is a responsible and
lucrative one. We always knew
that Jim would get to the top of
the ladder. He's one of the best
boys ever turned out in Southeast
Missouri, and we are glad to know
that he is prospecting.
Miss Laura Sue Whitworth was
delightfully."- entertained by friends
at Doniphan, Mo-, on her way to
Ironton from Searcy, Ark. She is
now at home after. her final years
work at college, having been
granted certificates of graduation
in a number of studies. Miss
Laura Sue-always intelligently
interesting-has, as a student,
made a record worthy of note. In
Latin, English, and elocution,
especially, her progress has been
phenomenal, her proficiency I'M
usual and her instructors praises,
though lavish, are fully merited.
