Quite a lively time was had at
the Locust Grove Baptist church
on Big Brushey last Sunday at the
night service. Some party or
parties filled a new hub with
powder and wedged both ends
and placed it in or under the
house and fred it with a fuse.
The effect of the explosion was
terrible. The glass in the windows
was blown to smithereens and the
building damaged otherwise. The
shrieks and cries of many of the
women present could be heard for
half a mile or farther. Our in
formant says some of those pres
ent were so much excited at the
time of the explosion that they
thought the millennium was at
hand. However, there is one thing
certain, and that is, the perpetra-
tors of the atrocious deed should
be punished to the full extent of
the law. We understand the
guilty parties are known and will
be put under arrest.-CenterUiLle

The Ironton basket ball team
went to Poplar Bluff last Saturday
and that night played a game
with the Poplar Bluff team. In
the contest Poplar Bluff won by a
core of IA to 10. Ironton played
under difficulties, and although
defeated, is proud of the showing
made against the strongest team
in this part of the state. In fact
Mrs. j. G. Newman, who accom-
panied the young ladies to Poplar
Bluff, tells US that Ironton would
certainly have come out victorious
had not n of the players been
taken suddenly ill at a perilous
stage of the game. The visitors
say that the Poplar Bluff folk
treated them most handsomely,
showing them every courtesy and
attention, and even in the audience
that witnessed the game there was
almost as much enthusiasm and
cheering for Ironton as there was
for the home team. The Ironton
folk will long remember the occa-
sion as n of the most pleasant
in their experience.

Then followed a recitation by Mr.
A. l. Willard of Lesterville, given

called out no less than three times

by Miss Laura Codding. excellent

deserved applause. Mr.. G.. w.

A colony Of Poplar Bluff persons
is being organized to establish a
sort Of community to itself at
"Epworth Among the Hills" at
Arcadia, Mo-, several within the

locality. Arthur HUFF, who for
merly lived in this city, and P. w,
Whitworth have been in Poplar
Bluff this week stimulating in
