Some of the local Republicans
are already carrying Iron county
in the coming fall election. This
is one instance where history GER
tainly does repeat itself. There
hasn't been an election held in
Iron county in the past twenty
years that the Republicans did not
carry it-until the votes were
counted, and then the Democrats
were victorious. And so it will be
in 1906.
Last Thursday evening, while
the writer was waiting at the Ar
cadia station for a train, a young
man, considerably the worse for
booze, happened along and made
the air blue with his profanity.
He jerked a knife out of his pocket
and declared he was as brave a
man as ever lived! His conduct
was most disgraceful, and it is to
be regretted that no officer was
near to take him in custody.

and Golf Whitworth this week
bought a controlling interest in
the Whitener Grocery Company
at Fredericktown, and will remove
from st. Louis to Fredericktown to
take charge of the business at
once. These young men are Iron

cess in their new field.
We have heard a number of citi-
zens of late express themselves in
favor of resubmitting the question
OF local option to a vote OF the
people again. A number are il
favor of the friends to the cause

election so that the taxpayers will.

ward the expenses Of the election
