j. Dinger and Ed were here from
Eminence last week, where they
have recently built a factory fol
the Clark & Gay company. They
returned to Eminence yesterday
where they will work for the Mis-
souri, Lumber & Mining Company,
which will build some two hundred
houses there, having recently
moved the big mill from Grandin
to that place.
One of the old valley boys, Jas,
M. Baird, of Dunklin county was
here last week. Mr.. Baird made a
trip to Arcadia Heights and
climbed over several of the hills
during his sojourn, enjoying the
novelty very much, we doubt not.
You know, there is no hill climb
ing in Dunklin, and the experience
to the native is something like
taking a ride in an air ship would
be to us up here.
Mrs. Bessie Sanders, widow OF
the man who was killed in the
Clark Gay hub factory at Elling-
ton last January, has entered suit
in the circuit court of Reynolds
county against that corporation
for $4,000 damages, alleging that
the death of her husband was oc-
casioned by sons of the machinery
in the factory being defective.
Senator Carter M. Buford of Rey-
nolds county and Warren D. Isen-
berg, of st. Louis, represent the
plaintiff, and Hon. E. A. Rozier
has been retained by the defense.
1t is said that an effort will be
made to have the case transferred
to the federal court.
A mere genial affable and ever
courteous and pleasant gentleman
that Hon. E. A. Rozier, the we'll
known attorney of Pennington, it
has never been our good fortune
to know. But while cross-exam-
ming a witness in the trial of a
civil suit in the circuit court here
last week, he gave abundant evil
dence that when it becomes nee
essary in the discharge of his
duties he can "grill" to the
queens taste. The individual
whom Mr.. Rozier SO scientifically
skinned on this occasion was one
who has been prominently in
Identified with the "ring busters,
in the past two campaigns in Iron
county.
A. j. Zwart, Of San Antonio,
Tex, was here a few days on
business this week. His many
friends here were pleased to hear
thrt he has secured a good posi-
ton as general southwestern agent
for the Mexican International
Land company. He has offices in
the Mackay building in San An
tonic. He tells us that his COM
pany owns 5000 acres of fine land
on the isthmus of Tehuantepec,
Mex, about 800 miles south of
San Antonio. Bert is enthusiastic
about his property and as he is a
hustler he will probably have little
trouble in interesting men of
means in this sort of investment.

The Epworth League members
of Fort Hill church were very
pleasantly entertained last Thurs
day evening at the home of Bro.
and Sister Allen of Arcadia, by a
social that all present pronounced
a social indeed. Nothing was
lacking in making the evening SO
pleasant that ere the entertainment
and sumptuous lunch was over it
was found to the surprise of all
that the hour was late, and the
company parted with the greatest
praise to their hosts as we'll as to
Bro. and Sister Meyer, who so
ably assisted them. The guests
departed with the pleasant hope
Of again enjoying a similar meet
ing of enthusiastic Leaguers.
E. w. Graves, of Des Arc, was
here on business Tuesday. He
tells US that Geo. k. Williams and
j. M. Elvins, of st. Francois coun-
ty, have been given an option on
about 400 acres of land near Des
Arc, on which there has been un-
covered at a depth OF 80 feet a
seven foot vein of disseminated
lead ore. These gentlemen are
given until next spring in which
to find buyers for the property
Mr.. Graves believes they have
rich mineral deposits in that Vi
entity that will soon be developed
and that the country will soon be
enjoying an unusual degree Of
prosperity. He says the timber in
that section has been pretty well
worked up and that they will have
to look to mineral or some other
development if their present pros
perity is to continue much longer

After several months of silence,
