Court Stenographer Jarvis mis-.
interpreted our remarks last. weeA
when in mentioning the fact thai
he was nova newspaper man, We
stated that it was a long jump from
court stenographer to editor. We
meant it was a long fall down
stairs! Claud seemed to think We
intended something else.
]. N..Long, president of the Ar
cadia Orphans Home, Arcadia,
Mo-, was in the city Wednesday
to take the two Horton children to
the Orphans Home. These chill
dren will be keptat that institution
until they are eighteen years OF
age and have been given a good
practical education.-ElUins Herald,
So far as we have been able to
ascertain Rev. O'Laughlin, Of
Rolla, has not yet made public re-
traction of the libelous statements
he made against the people of this
and Reynolds county, in connec-
ton with Bill Spaugh's trial. II
is probable that the relatives Of
the late John w. Polk will insti-
tute libel proceedings.
We, the undersigned merchants
OF Ironton, do hereby agree to
close our respective places of bust
ness at 7 o'clock P. M, beginning
May 1, 1907, and continuing until
October 1, 1907, pay-days, Satur-
days and July Sd excepted:

Nall & Gunton wish to announce

f~rst-class job of painting or paper
ing done at reasonable prices, will
do we'll to wait until their return.
They represent two of the best
wallpaper houses in the country,

show you samples and give you

In the circuit court Monday,
Judge Williams, refused to grant
a pro forma decree of Incorporation
to the Southeast Missouri Holiness
Association which proposes build
ing a college at Des Arc. The de-
cree was refused because of some
ambiguous or undesirable state
ment, as viewed by the court, in
the articles of incorporation. The
matter will probably be rectified
and the corporation made at some
future date.
The railroad company has
changed the name OF the station at
Iron Mountain to Savoy. The
reason given for the change is that
the old name sounds too much like
Ironton or Irondale, when called
by the train porter, and thus
causes Inconvenience and con-
fusion to passengers. The railroad
company has little sentiment or
venefation for the days of old or it
certainly would not change the
name of Iron Mountain station.
After a business career of about
twenty years, in the printing bust
ness in this city, S. G.. Tetwiler,
for about six years manager of the
Enterprise of this city, will turn
over that job to R. E. Douglas,
who comes here from Waterloo.
Ill, and who takes charge next
week. Mr.. Tetwiler will remain
in Charleston for several months
and enjoy a we'll earned vacation,
and will seek a milder climate in
the fall. He will have the best
wishes of this community wherever
he goes.-Charleston Courier.
