The man who was not satisfied
with the. weather at any time dur
ing the past month was hard to
please; for we assuredly had
samples of many kinds of weather
here, ranging from very cold to
as delightful, balmy days as one
could wish.
Wheat in many fields is not as
thrifty as could be wished, but
probably will yet develop suf-
ficiently to produce an average
yield.
Live stock generally wintered
well and ID in fairly good condi-
ton.
J. M. Lucas now grinds corn
every Saturday and saws lumber
during as much of the rest of the

Well, here I am again. The
weather is fair and promises to
continue so.
John s. Benson has moved to the
city Of st. Louis, where he will
make his future home. The writer
hated to see him go as he was the
last of the older residents of An
napolis, and was always found to
help the needy and the poor. 1t
did not matter how much they
were behindfnstheir accounts, he
was always ready to do good for
them if they tried to do good for
themselves, and he will be badly
missed by many ini this vicinity.
AS Chas. Prices wife was Dress
ing one of the children last Friday
morning her own dress some way
or other caught fire from the stove
and was about all burned off her.
Sam Warner, who was riding by,
heard the poor woman's cries, and
rushed to the house, but did not
get there in time to save her from
being fatally burned, and she died
that evening at four o'clock. She
had tried to smother out her burn
ing clothing with a bed quilt, but
it also took fire and when she
threw it down set fire to the house.
Mr.. Warner seeing the smoke in
the room, rushed in and extin-
guished the flames, saving the
house and contents, also the two
children, who were lying on the
bed, where the fire was getting in
to when discovered. Oh, what a
sad thing it is for people to be so
careless. She rested easy until
death came. Mr.. Price lives near
Redford, in Reynolds county, about
twelves miles west of Annapolis.
Thomas P. Fitz is taking the

Bonnie aTerres Pennington and
otherplaces.
Well, Sthe&. streets are free this
morning. No one to be seen. The
town is dead, as everybody is out
on an Irishman's wake. AS the
old saying is: The Frenchman
loves his native wine, the German
loves his beer, the Englishman
loves his ''af and al" because it
brings good cheer, the Irishman
loves his whisltey straight because
it gives him dizziness, the Ameri-
can has no choice at all, so he
drinks the whole blamed business!

station house for the night trains
has his troubles, too. Every night
he says'the phone bell rings sew
eral times from persons who want
to board one of the night trains
and tell him to be sure and have
the house open. Monday night of
last week he says one party called
him up three times to be sure and
have the station open for No. 10,
as she just had to board that train.
The next morning came duly to
hand, so did the train, but the
good woman failed to put in her
appearance. Probably changed
her mind and didn't think it worth
while to say anything about the
matter.
At a meeting of the Ironton
school board Monday evening, it
was determined to submit to the
voters a proposition to bond the
district for $4,000 to make needed
additions and improvements to the
school building. An addition of
two rooms and a steam heating
plant is contemplated. Their cost
will be over $4,000, but there is
some money now on hand. If the
proposition carries, the plan of
the board is just to fit up one of
the additional rooms for next
year, and then the other room can
be furnished when needed. No
additional tax will be necessary
for employing one more teacher
next year. The plan looks feas-
ible to us. An emergency exists
and we believe the proposition
will meet with little opposition at
the polls.
Our good friend, F. Rodach, was
over from Middlebrook on We'd

preciated call. He tells US that a
number of his neighbors and
friends came in Tuesday and spent
the day with him, that being his
18th birthday. Though nearly 80
years of age, he is hale and hearty
and went out to his farm near
Bonnie Terre yesterday. We hope
our good friend will continue in
his present robust health for many
years to come. He is an enterpris-
ing citizen of much worth to this
and Iron counties. While in the
Office he also told us that one of
his townsmen, who is we'll known
here, Christian Oesterle, had sold
his store at Middlebrook and ex-
pected to retire permanently from
business. Mr.. Oesterle, like Mr..
Rodach. has been in business in
Middlebrook almost since the town
was started. -Fdrmington News.

l attended the Folk banquet in
st. Louis Friday night. Being a
red-hot Folk man, | enjoyed the
speaking very much, but l certain
ly did not relish the dinner or sup
per, l call it. Six hundred of us
sat down at $3.50 o'clock; the first
thing served was a little plate of
soup; the second was a very small
piece of boiled fish, about two
inches square, and hungry man
could have eaten it in two bites;
the next course was a small piece
of roast beef, with one potato, and
a toy cup of coffee, which I could
have swallowed, cup and all, with
little difficulty; next was a dimin-
utive dish of brick ice cream, about
three inches long, and one inch
across-about two bites. The last
was six hundred cigars, and such
a smoking I never got in all my
life. | have often smoked a rab-
bit out of a hollow tree, but this
beat that. You could not see the
ceiling for the smoke. Not being
a smoker myself, it went very
much against the grain. They
were one hour serving the meal,

cents worth of grub OF good, solid
grub, and when | got up to leave,

ing | received. However, | stayed

Much trouble was experienced in
getting the half-dfowned man onto

him under the prov of the steamer,
but after a few lkHrd hauls on the

from the chill and exhaustion, but
he was soon revived by the applica-
