DR.. and Mrs. Patton went from
New Orleans to their orange farm
in California. The doctor was taxi
en- i'll on the Cape while enroute
to New Orleans in the presidential
fleet, being under the care of two
doctors on the boat. 1t was for
tunate that Mrs. Patton went to
New Orleans to make that surprise
when the doctor came off the boat.
Of course it was very agreeable
for the doctor to see his best friend
meeting him at that time, feeling
that way away from home provi-
dence.-Cape Girardeau Progress.
The FredericktotOn Democrat NesUs
tells a story of Halloween devil
ment in that town that calls for
the serious attention of the officers
of the law. The miscreants en-
tered the public school building,
upset the desks, pouring ink over
everything and tore up the books.
They also took an automobile
from it's shed and ran it down a
hill SO that 1t was overturned and
severely damaged, then they went
after two horses belonging to
another party and painted one red
and the other white.-Potosi Jour
nal.
Friday evening at the appointed
hour and at the appointed place a
jolly party met bent on a surprise
party to Mr.. and Mrs. Rosentreter.
And a surprise it was as the hostess
was quite a few minutes realizing
what had happened, and the host
was not in yet, as there was quite
an unusual lot of express to be
delivered that evening, but when
he did come, he was more than
surprised to find the party there
awaiting him. Music began at
once, both vocal and instrumental,
also speeches by the little ones.
Then part of the party went to
the dining room where the refresh
ments we're spread which were
brought along, the rest making
preparations for the waltzes and
two-steps, etc. Both dining room
and dancing hall were we'll made
use of until early morning when
all babe farewell to the host and
hostess hoping that it would not
be long until they would meet
again. x. x.
Mr.. Geo. T. Howser, Field Seq
rotary of the Young Mems Chris
tian Associations Of Missouri, was
in Ironton last week in the in
terest of the association. The
principal object of Mo. Howser's
visit was to secure a correspond
emit who will keep the state Asso-
citation posted on the movements
of young men who leave Ironton
and vicinity for college, employ
ment, or a change of residence to
other cities or states. The state
Association through it's allied Or
CARNATIONS, and nearly 5000 COR
respondents throughout the United
States, is enabled to follow with
friendly letters all these young
men and in many instances aid
them in finding good boarding
places and employment, and in
Producing them to companionable
associates. The correspondent
for Ironton and vicinity is Elmer
Newman. Friends who have in
formation along the line of this
work may render valuable assis-
lance by giving the facts to Mr..
Newman. The Y. M. G. A. is a
worldwide institution and is one
of the most valuable alliances the
church has-in fact the Associa-
ton is the great church at work,
doing what she could hardly be
expected to do denominationally.
Last Saturday night John Webb,
of Annapolis, who boards drivers
for E. W. Summers, was robbed
OF S65 cash and S125 checks and
notes. His room was entered,
either before he retired that even
ing, or after his slumber had be-
come deep and sound. Next
morning, after missing his prop
erty, he kept a sharp lookout and
noticed that two men,. Lewis
and Newt Aldridge-although or
dinarily imprecunious, were rather
flush of the wherewithal. That
same day they left for Poplar
Bluff, and after they had gone, the
authorities of that town were asked
to apprehend them on their ar
rival. This was done, and the
money found upon the prisoners.
The checks they had destroyed.
They claimed to have found the
pocket book, and had set out to
have a good time. They were
taken back to Annapolis Tuesday
morning and arraigned before
Squire Kitchell who will hold their
preliminary examination Friday,
Aldridge was brought to Ironton
and placed in jail by Deputy
Sheriff, A. L. Daniels, Tuesday
afternoon. Lewis remained in
Annapolis in the custody of Con-
stable Morley, whore he is trying
to fill a bond for his appearance.
Aldridge was formerly a resident
Of the valley.
