Miss Bernice Herbert was thrown
from a buggy while watching the
football game yesterday afternoon
and suffered a severe nervous
shock and bruises of the body.
She was unconscious for a short
while, but ministration by friends
restored her to consciousness and
she was taken home.-PopLar Bluff

Owing to the very material de-
crease in the volume of passenger
travel, the Mississippi River &
Bonnie Terre Railway has found it
necessary to reduce its passenger
train service for the winter, and
with the new time card which be-
comes effective December Sth,
trains Nos. 33 and 81 will be taken
off.-Eluins Herald,
III. j. Sharp, who has been maxi
ing his home near Fredericktown,
Ohio, for the past year and a half,
arrived in Ironton Saturday, on
his way to his former home on
Marble Creek, south Of Ironton.
After a two weeks stay with Mr..
@. K. Polk Mr.. Sharp will go to
Spadra, Arkansas, to SEE his faith
er, where he will probably remain
for the winter.
Says the Mill Spring correspond
ent of the Piedmont Banner:
Crank Bond, the champion hard
ware salesman of Southeast Mis-
souri,, was in town last week call
ing on our merchants. He said he
would be back after the holidays
wearing the 5000 diamond that his
company will give him Christmas
for making the largest amount of
sales in the year."
Our mail service continues to be
miserable, and scarcely a week
passes that we don't have COM
plant of the failure to deliver the
package of REGISTERS at some
nearby post-office. We ask u
subscribers to be as patient as they
can. We are trying to locate the
trouble, but thus far haven't got
much satisfaction out of the rail-
way mail officials.
Squire Luthy OF Pilot Knob was
in to see us last Friday and denied
emphatically the statement that
he, as notary public, had certified
that the Schmittner property, re-
Gently destroyed by fire, was worth
$3.50. All he did was to acknowl-
edge the affidavit of Dunaway,
owner of the property. We said
last week that we didn't believe
that Mr.. Luthy had made any such
certificate as was attributed to. him.
Under the time card that became
effective last Sunday, if you want
to go north, and do not get out of
Ironton on the 2:11 train in the
afternoon, you hayen'tany chance
to get out of town until the follow
ing morning at 1887 o'clock. Over
seventeen hours between trains!
This is abominable and should
not be. As there are two trains
later in the evening, No. A at 4:12,
and No. s at 1908, it seems that the
railroad company might arrange
for one of them to stop here.
j. N. Long, the orphans home
man, got out of his troubles in
Howell county last week because
of some flaw in the papers, the
circuit Judge sustaining the mo-
ton of Longs attorney to quash
the Indictment. Long announced
to one of the witnesses from Iron
county in attendance that he was
coming back here and have the
case against him, wherein he plead
ed guilty and was fined $50, re-
opened and his plea set aside. But
we hardly think he will come.

A little late, but there you are!
