1t is understood that Col. James
Lewis, who recently bought the
Hough place in Russellville, is
critically i'll at his home in st.
Louis. We hope to hear of an
early improvement in the gentle-
mans condition.
Congressman Rhodes bill tn
make a national park of the Pilot
Knob fort seems to have fallen by
the wayside. AT least, there has
been nothing definite in relation
thereto in the recent dispatches
from Washington.
The Stevens & Mossman Com
pany gave three good shows in
this town Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of last week.
The houses were fairly good. The
music was above the average, and
the stage work all right.
Mr.. Thos. Newman last Thurs
day night suffered a paralytic
stroke, which rendered him al
most helpless. We are glad to

For SALE-S1700 will buy my
very large, we'll improved corner

The Frightening buds on the
naples are swelling, And saccha-
rine tear-drops are given to WE'LL
ing From the trunks of the trees
Wherever the wound of the steel is
inflicted, While sweetly the COM
ing of spring is depicted In the
hum of the bees.
While there is much talk of inn
proving the yards and raising
flowers, it would be a good time to
think of improving the signs on
some of the buildings. One old
sign no doubt told the truth back
in the seventies, but it is some
what antideluvian in 1907.
Our friend, w. T. O'Neal, is now
fully domiciled at Frankclay, Mo-,
and begins to feel little more at
home. He has a good run of bust
ness, with promise of enlargement
as the months go by. His friends
here are legion and his success
will be gratifying to them.
Rev. j. G.. Reynolds will be in
st. Louis next Sabbath, hence
there will be no preaching service
at the Presbyterian church that
day. The Christian Endeavor So
ciety will meet as usual at 6:45.
The subject is ''being honest with
yourself" Fred Russell will be the
leader.
1t seems to me that this desire of
the C~entreville Outlook ought not
go long unsatisfied: "There is no
doctor located in C~entreville. That
a doctor is needed here, and that
he would get all the practice that
he could wish for, there is nothing
more certain. We want a doctor
want m badly"
The bricks in the walls of the
burned Halter building will prob
ably be removed within a short
time. Several dickers are said to
be "on," both for the materials
and the lot on which they stand.
| hope a sale may be made, for
the premises, as they now are, are
not cheering to the eye.
Prof. M. w. Daugherty came up
from Piedmont Saturday noon and
spent Sunday in Ironton, return
ing on No. 1 that evening. His
many friends here are always
ready to give him "the glad hand"
He is one of the best instructors
that ever presided over the schools
of Ironton, and mutiny in the
ranks was unknown to his admin
istration.

A National Bank at Arcadia will
make all of us proud. But [ give
notice now that | shall insist on
its issue bearing a picture of Pilot
Knob mountain-said by geolo-
gists to be the oldest bit of dry
land in the world. 1t will adver-

nent feature all over the Western
Hemisphere and bring thousands
of curious tourists to this Eden of
the Ozarks. For this suggestion
and insistence shall expect liberal
tips from our hotel keepers and
liverymen.
