Does THIS INTEREST You? B. N.
Brown to-day has the largest and
finest line of shoes rubbers, over
shoes, felts, etc., that he has ever
had. Prices and quality are
strictly right.
A big fruit grower in Howell
county says that this will be a ban
ner year for peaches, and he has
no fear of late frosts damaging any
of the fruit. He bases his predic-
ton on the fact that the wind was
in the south on Christmas day-a
sure indicator of a bountiful fruit
yield the following year. Well,
we all hope so.
The friends and former school,
mates of Judge Killian of Perry
vile, who reside in the valley,
were disappointed because he did
not come to Ironton last week and
preside over the adjourned session
of circuit court. Thirty-fve years,
or more, ago Judge Killian was a
student in the Arcadia College,
but has not paid a visit here in a
long while.
The engine of the north bound
Mexico-St. Louis special ran into
a pusher on Tip Top at an early
hour Tuesday morning, and both
engines were badly damaged. The
pusher had helped the Mexico
train from Hogan, and. uncoupled
to go on the siding, but was struck
before it got in the "clear." The
track was blocked several hours in
consequence.
Running a newspaper is just like
running a hotel, only different.
When a man goes inlo a hotel
and finds something on the table
that does not suit him, he does
not raise hades with the landlord
and tell him to stop his old hotel.
Well hardly. He sets that dish
to one side and wades into the
many that suit him. 1t is different
with some newspaper readers.
They find an article occasionally
that does not suit them exactly
and without stopping to think it
may please hundreds of other
readers, make a grand stand play
and tells the editor how a paper
should be run and what should be
put in it. But such people are
becoming fewer every year.-Er-
change.
Richard Snyder, superintendent
of the Clark4Gay Hub factory at
Ellington, died quite suddenly at
his home in that place last Satur-
day evening. Mr.. Snyder was at
tending to his duties as usual that
day, but about five o'clock in the
evening he went home, told Mrs.
Snyder he was not feeling we'll,
and would go to bed. In a short
time he was unconscious and re-
NAMED in that condition until he
died-a few minutes before nine
o'clock. The attending physi-
clans were at a loss to diagnose
the trouble, but think that death
probably resulted from a ruptured
blood vessel. The remains were
brought to ~Ironton Sunday eve
ming and the funeral occurred from
the Clark Gay Office the next aft
ernoon, interment being made in
the K. P. cemetery, Mr.. Snyder
came to Ironton from Wisconsin
at the time the Clark hub factory
was established here, eleven years
ago. He was employed here fol
some time, afterwards at. Munger,
and has been in Ellington the pas
three or four years. Deceased
leaves a wife and young daughter
and two sons and a daugter, by
former marriage, to mourn his
demise. May he rest in peacel
The following taken from the
last issue of the Lead Belt News tell
how two Republicans in st. Fran.
co.'s County scrapped over a LITTLE
pie: GA general mix-up occurred
in the post Office at Elvins las
Tuesday between j. g. Westover
the retiring postmaster, and Car
Hartshorn, his successor. MI
Hartshorn received the appoint
ment some time ego; and it il
said Mr.. Westover who had beer
postmaster eleven years, felt tina
he had not been given quit,
enough of the pie. Hartshorn''
commission was made effective
January the 7th, and on that day
he presented himself armed will
his credentials from Uncle Sam
Westover suddenly became hos
tile and a fight ensued, to which
the new p. M. is said to have
fought only or the defensive sid
and to have gotten a little tn,
worst Of the combat. He 60
back, however, by having West
over arrested. The Squire sail
One dollar and costs;' which MI
Westover paid. Al truce wa
; patched up SO as to permit Uncl,
Sans business to be carried on
but the air is said to have been o
a hazy blue for quite a while
Certainly we hope no such dire
full proceedings will characteriz
the present contest for the IrortCi
ijob.
