DR.. Chas. D. Stevens, of st.
Louis, was in the Valley this week,
for the first time in many years.
He was here with his father, who

days of the war. DIR. S. employed
his time wednesday looking up
the localities which he had known
forty-fve years ago.
The debris on the sidewalk in
front of the burnt Halter store
ought to be removed without de-
lay, and the standing walls top
pied down. Pedestrians now have
to go out into the street in order to
pass; but that is nothing to the
threatened danger from the weak
ened, leaning walls Of crumbling
bricks.
Mr.. George w. Clarkson and
family, of Buffalo, N. Y, are visit
ing relatives in Potosi. Mr.. Clark
son is the eastern manager of the

ton of a toe. He had treated that
toe because. of a very painful corn,
but from chatting it became so in
famed that it had to be taken of.
hope. the doctors disability from
the operation may be brief, and
that we shall soon see him as him
self again.
DR.. Eugas, our Libertyville physi-
clan, has moved to Doe Run to take
the practice of DR.. B.R. Downing,
who is in ill health. This leaves
Libertyville and Cook township
without a doctor. A number OF
people on the east end Of our route
are trying to persuade DR.. Blanks,
of Pennington, to move to Liberty
vile and take this practice. We
hope DR.. Blanks will decide to do
this, as he will then get a good
practice among people with whom
he was raised.-From Rural Route
