The third annual camp meeting
will be held at Des Arc August
19th-30th in a commodious camp
shed on the college campus. Rev.
I. f. Maitland, of Willmore, KY,
will be the principal preacher.
The Sligo Furnace Co. is trying
to dispossess some squatters on
fome of its lands in the west end
of the county. Among the squat
ters is the notorious John Turner,
who one day recently got a shot
gun and threatened to kill VIM. H.
Webb, the company's agent.
Fortunately no blood was shed.

Twenty-one people from Poplar

Chas. A. White, of Lesterville,
took his thirteen. year old son
George to a hospital in st. Louis
a couple of weeks ago. The boy
had been suffering for five or six
months from what at first was
supposed to be rheumatism in his
left leg, but subsequent examina-
ton showed that so1Ae hip bones
YER displaced. An operation last
Sunday week removed several
pieces of bone, and the patient is
getting along nicely.
The new law provides that the
county superintendent of schools
shall hold an educational meeting
'just prior to opening of the
schools" 1t has been suggested
that unless conditions make an
other date preferable, this meeting
be held August 25th and 26th.
Questions relating to organization,
grading and classification of the
schools, course of study, records
and reports should be fully and
freely discussed at these meetings.
The railroad company last Sat-
urday placed on sale ten-trip in
dividual tickets between st. Louis
and Arcadia. The tickets cost S14
and are good at any time within
one year. A round-trip ticket,
with five days return limit, has also
been put on sale between Arcadia
and St. Louis for 1915. We are
not advised as to whether these
tickets will be put on sale at the
Ironton station or not. But if they
are not a good many Ironton peo-
pie will be going to Arcadia for
their tickets.
A beer drinking out in the Shut
In a few Sundays ago came near
resulting in a tragedy. The quail
tiles of the merits of various grades
of beer became the topic of discus
zion. There was difference of
opinion, and one of the parties to
the controversy hauled off and
knocked the other one down. The
latter HE'D him to his homo near
by and got his shot gun. But by
this time his assailant had made
his getaway and no blood was
shed. AS nothing further has
come of the matter it is hoped that
the wings of peace are now hover
ing over the erstwhile belligerents.
The Donohews, VIM, A. j. and
j. D., father and two sons, from
the west end of the county, were
placed in jail here Sunday charged
with illegal voting at Henderson
precinct at the last general cleo
ton. The Donohews, it will be
recalled, had a preliminary ex-
animation before Squire Luthy al
Pilot Knob a couple of months
ago, on a similar charge, and were
discharged. 1t is said that as soon
as they were released they went
back home laughing about how
they had fooled the prosecuting
attorney. Maybe they will find
out before they get through that
he who laughs last laughs best.
The first raft of ties to be taken
down the river from this place was
nailed and started down this week
by employees of the 7. j. Moss tie
Co. The ties will be RATED to
Clearwater, a distance of, about
ninety miles the way the river
runs where they will be loaded on
Iron Mountain cars. There have
been several drives of ties taken
down from this point and higher
up on the river, but this is the first
attempt to raft, and we understand
it is proving to be the best and
quickest method of getting them
down the river. There are about
ten thousand ties on the bank Of
the river just north of town which
will be taken down in twenty
afts.-CenterUille Outlook.
Unless there are local reasons
