G. E. DOwNEY, Agent.
We are in receipt of a very
pleasant letter from our good
friend, DR.. Summa, who is now
in his winter home, st. Louis.
The DR.. says he now considers the
valley his home and st. Louis
only a temporary stopping place.
w. j. Plummer writes US that he
has been transferred from Hem
erickson to Middlebrook on the
Iron Mountain as agent. He says
he has a higher, dryer and a
healthier place to live and closer
to Fredericktown. = FredericktoWn

Fred Delano and Theodore
Farrar have leased the old john
son ice house and expect to put

have the dam in shape and are
prepared to take advantage of the
first freeze.

years, died at, his home near
French Mills in Madison county
Sunday last, after an illness of

three small children and many

1t is reported that Hon. w. R.
Edgar of Ironton would like to
get in the a c. for the democratic
nomination for circuit judge. Mr..
Edgar is a good lawyer and a
democrat but we don't believe he
is as close to the people in this
part of the circuit as Judge Dear
ing is.-De Soto Press.
Bismarck, we hear, has "huked"
on the Northern Methodist Assem-
bly, proposition. A church COM
mittee recently located the Assem-
bly, near Bismarck and the people
Of the town made up the money to
pay for the site. Now it has been
discovered that there is a flaw in
the title to the land and the deal
may be declared off.
George Blanks, an old colored
citizen, died quite suddenly at his
home in west Ironton Saturday
night. He retired in his usual
health but woke in the night
seriously ill and died in about
an hour. The physician said that
death was occasioned by the
rupturing Of a blood vessel in the
head. The deceased was about
sixty-fve years of age.
In a voting contest at Cape
Girardeau on the most popular
young lady in town, the prize, a
fifty dollar diamond ring, was
awarded to Miss Beth Durham,
a school teacher in the Cape
schools. She is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Durham, and
a niece of Mr.. and Mrs. w. P.
Toney of Piedmont and has many
friends here.-Piedmont Banner.
The carpenters who went from
Ironton to Eminence a week or so
ago to work for the Missouri
Lumber & Mining Company, have
all returned to Ironton. The boys
say there is plenty of work but
they do not like the situation.
Possibly it is a little too dry to
suit them there, eh, Brother AXE?
-Van Buren Current Local.
Surely not any drier than it is
here in Ironton.
