circulated in the west end of the

cember of the golden wedding of
Judge John l.. Thomas and wife.
Fifty years is a long span of hap
niness allotted to but few people,

No. 10, the passenger train which
goes north here about five o'clock
in the morning, stops at Mineral
Point for passengers and the rail-
road company runs the branch
train from Potosi to meet it. Yet
the company refuses to stop that
train here for passengers. 1t is a
train that we need, and badly
need, and some effort should be
made to have it stop here.
In ordering your Christmas
celery do not forget our old friend,
Mr.. r. Hotson, who has a fine sup
ply of the home grown article.
Take ourword for it that it is far
superior to the imported. And if
you like horse radish buy a bottle
from Mr.. Hotson. 1t is SO far
ahead of the store-bought article
that the two are not to be thought
of in the same connection.
a.. Rieke says that he is Of the
opinion that his old horse was at
one time in the fire department.
He says that whenever the hub
factory whistle sounds the fire
alarm he can hardly keep the
horse still long enough to put the
harness on him, and when he
turns him into the street he goes
like a flash. Other times he is
gentle and docile enough for any
body.
What is to hinder the citizens of
Belleview petitioning Messrs.
Baldwin of Ironton to extend their
telephone system through Grantee
vile on to this place, as Ironton is
our metropolis whore most all of
our business is transacted, both
by public and private citizens of
this place, and from present indi-
cations we are to remain wanting,
if we depend upon the Caledonia
company giving us any better
phone service.-Belleuie10 Banner.

The bazaar, held for the benefit
Of st. Paul's church last Thursday,
was financially the usual success.
The management highly appre-
ciates the help and the patronage
received from the public. The one
regretable thing was that some Of
the people failed to see the notice
published by the refreshment COM
mittee that no suppers would be
sent out from the hall. There was
a good reason for this departure
from the previous custom. Mex,
! year the committee will see to il
that it's Intentions in this matter
be generally proclaimed. Socially
the bazaar was n of enjoyment
/ and the patrons can look forward
to the next one with pleasure.
