STRAYED-From my barn in Cen
treville, about two weeks since, one
dark bay mare, 10 hands nigh,
three years old; has bridge of nose
broken, which makes her breathe
strong or loud. Some would think
her "thick-winded;" has black
name and tail. Last seen six
miles southeast of town. Any in
formation leading to her recovery
will'be literally rewarded.

AS predicted in our last issue the
Harris case was again continued
until the May term of court. Ii the
witnesses and all concerned don't
succumb to the ravages of time,
the citizens of this county may yet
see this case come to trial. 1t is
now nearly three years since the
crime was committed, and the wit
nesses are becoming weary OF be-
ing forced to journey so often to
Pennington for the purpose OF
learning that the case has been
continued.-EJUins Herald.
Mr.. Hardin Haines, of Burling-
ton, Iowa, was an Ironton visitor
last Thursday. Mr.. Haines is
planting an orchard on 'the table,
lands" about four miles east Of
Sabula, this county. At present
he has 5000 trees set out; Alberta
peaches, Ben Davis and Jonathan
apples, pears and plums. Within
another year he says he will have
5000 trees planted, the stock com.
ing from Tennessee, Kentucky and
elsewhere. Mr.. Haines is an ex-
perienced man in the fruit bust
ness and says he has no doubt bu
that he will make a success Of the
venture. He will probably re-
move his family to this city in thu
not far distant future.
All last week the mountain
we're on fire, and presented no un'
pleasing pictures at night. View
ing them ones mind could conjur'
many strange and wonderful
things. One night, when the cas-
tern range, south of Pilot Knob
was ablaze, it seemed as if a vas
manufacturing establishment, or
number of such, we're perched up
on the summit. The flame, partly
hidden by the intervening trees
gave the semblance of a hug
building with a thousand window
electric lighted, and the smok
overhead assembled and rolled as
emitted from towering chimneyf
Lower down on the sides of tn
mountains we're as the campfire
of a great army on the eve of bat
| tie. On Pilot Knob a circle c
light, enclosing many acres, wa
t like unto a girdle of many rubies,
: Up overhe cad fair Luna slowly sailed,
Full rounded out her shining face,
. But still was hers the light that failed
And to a ruddier glow gave place.
