Dickens valley was destroyed by
fire last Friday morning. The fire
started from the fire place and
the house was almost ready to fall
down when discovered. The
youngest child, which is only a
year old, was yet in bed and was
forgotten until it was almost too
late to recover it from the burning
building. They lost everything
but what everyday clothes they
had on and one bed. Mrs. Spear
is a widow with six or seven small
children and the loss is very Sc
we're, but the citizens have contrib
uted lumber, money, and labor,
and will soon have another dwell
ing erected. There is also a move
in progress among our citizens to
supply the family with clothing
and furniture.-ElIington Press.
Last Friday morning word was
received here that Jackson Cauley
had accidentally been killed, and
upon Investigation the rumor prov
ed true. Mr.. Cauley and two sons
are the owners of a saw-mill
which is located in the Padfeld
hollow, four miles north of Black.
Friday morning Mr.. Cauley was
assisting in off-bearing and in
passing around the saw one of his
shoes came in contact with the
saw, causing him to fall on the
saw in such a manner that one
arm and one leg we're severed and
the saw entered his right side
making an incision which alone
would have caused death. The
body could not be rescued from
the saw until the mill was shut
down. After removing the body
to a nearby house, DR.. Shy of
this place was summoned, but be-
fore he could get his team and
start Mr.. Cauley was dead. The
remains were laid to rest in the
family burying grounds on West
Fork on last Sunday. To the be-
reaved family we extend our con-
dolence.-CenterUilIe Outlook.
We are in receipt of a much ap-
preciated and very interesting let
ter from our former associate and
distinguished fellow citizen, Colo
mel John M. Thomas-now living
in Los Angeles, California. He
asks that all Missourians coming
that way hunt him up, as he knows
everybody in Los Angeles-from
newsboy to Mayor-and will in
sure them all a good time. John
writes hat he recently had a call
from Capt. JosephA Hughes, who
has been away from Ironton twen-
ty years or more, and is now living
with his daughter, Mrs. Leech, in
the suburbs of Los Angeles. The
Captain is eighty-three years of
age, and aside from failing eye
sight, is holding his own very
well. John says all Los Angeles
expects to have a big time when
Bob Evans and his fleet gets to
Long Beach. Great preparations
are being made to entertain the
Jackies-among the luxuries is
wine costing 1872 a pint. This lat
ter, of course, touches a mighty
tender spot in Johns make-up,and
he tells us, confidentially, he will
be very busy when the feet ar
rives in port.
