held for circuit court and furnished
bond in the sum Of $500 for his ap-

but finally came in and surren-

The Baptist Ladies' Aid Society
and choir of honorary members
were Hospitality entertained at the
beautiful country home OF Mr..

homes of Ironton and Arcadia, and
fearing 'twould become. an cpl
demic, now declared the circuit

Frank Buckner was found dead
in his cell in the Iron county Jail
Thursday evening of last week.
The deceased had not been in
good health, but his death was a
surprise. The last time he was
seen alive was about three o'clock
in the afternoon when he was
talking to one of the inmates of
the jail. The body was cold and
stiff and he had probably been
dead some hours when found.
Buckner was thirty-fve years of
age. His home was at Annapolis.
He was convicted at the last term
of circuit court for selling liquor
without license and was serving
out his fine and costs. A coroner's
jury rendered a verdict that death
was due to some unknown cause.
The remains were inferred in the
X. P. cemetery the following day.
Andy Wyatt, of Belleview,
while driving to town last Saturday
morning met a crowd of young
people near the Gum Springs be-
tween Pilot Knob and Graniteville.
They were from st. Louis and had
driven from Arcadia. One young
fellow in the crowd was disconso-
late and confided the news to Andy
that some where back on the road
he had lost his pocket book con-
tanning S21. He wanted to go
back with Andy and did, while
the rest OF the crowd drove on to
Graniteville. Mr.. Wyatt and the
young man had proceeded but a
short distance until they found the
lost pocket book, and Andy says
he never saw a happier kid. Right
there he pulled a flask hidden
some where in his clothes, and
pledged undying fealty to his new
found friend. The boy hurried
back to join the merry makers
and Andy drove on to town.
On Tuesday evening of last week
at Belleville, ILL.,, Miss Myrtle
Lindsay and Mr.. T. HI. Vineyard
were married. Apparently it was
the intention of these popular
young people to keep their we'd

enterprising newspaper people of
the little Illinois city wired reports
of the nuptial proceedings to st.

only a day. Miss Lindsay is a
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. F.

with unusual talent she has profit

and musical instruction in institu-
lions of this state and finished her
musical education under famous
instructors in New York City. Mr..
Vineyard is a jeweler and optician
with establishments here and in

A committee Of De Soto's citi-
zens went to st. Louis Monday and
held a conference with General
Manager Sullivan in regard to the
report that the superintendent
Office would be moved to Poplar
Bluff. Mr.. Sullivan treated our
committee very cordially and told
the members that the natural con-
ditions Of the road required the
removal Of the Superintendent
office to Poplar Bluff, and that the
move was a necessity in the in
~terests of the road. He assured
our committee there was nc feel
ing on the part of the company
against De Soto. He said the
shops would remain at De Soto
and as soon as conditions would
permit more men would be put on.
The following interview, taken
from Tuesdays Globe Democrat,
