The infant child of Will Pink
ley who lives near the Silver Mine
died this week from burns received
two weeks ago; blood poison re-
sulting from the burns was the
immediate cause of death. Some
two weeks ago the children of Mr..
Pinkley were striking matches
and the baby was lying on the bed.
One of the matches flew over and
set fire to the bed clothing and
also the clothing of the baby. An
older child caught the baby up
and extinguished the flames, but
not before the baby was badly
burned. The fire of the bed
clothes was also put out.-Fred-

A deal was made this week
between 7. P. Russell & Bros, of
Cape Girardeau, and the Tetley-
Klein Lumber Co., of Pennington,
by which the former trades 800
acres of fine land in Pemiscot
county for the latter's lumber yard
and plant here. The exchange, as
we understand it, was a lump one,
neither property being placed at
any particular figure. S. j.. Tetley,
who has been managing the
lumber company, will retire from
the lumber business, but he does
not know Just yet in what BUSH
ness he will engaged Messrs. A.
S. and F. D. Russell will have
charge of the new firms interests
here. We r glad to welcome
these enterprising young business
men to our city.-Fdrmington News.
The WiIliamsville Iron Ore
company is working hard on it's
$4,000 plant and washer and it ex-
poets to be ready for business
about July 1st. Probably 200 men
will be employed in this establish
ment, the capacity of which will
be doubled by another plant which
the concern proposes to build on
the other side of Black river.
When the proposed plant is con-
structed and placed in operation
it is likely that from 400 to 1000
men will be steadily employed.
The plant is located on the main
line of the Iron Mountain railroad,
making shipment facilities ex-
cellent. Hundreds of carloads of
r already have been dug and
await the completion of the washer
before shipment. The company
has about 10000 acres Of land that
contain heavy deposits Of iron ore.

Died-At st. Louis, Mo-, Friday,
June 18th, 1909, Paul Patton, aged
So years and s months. The re-
mains of the deceased we're
brought to Ironton and on Satur-
day evening inferred in the Mason
ic Cemetery, a goodly concourse
attending At the grave, Rev.
Fuller Swift conducted the services
which marked the severance of
the deceased from things of earth
for all time. The preachers short
address was sympathetic, timely
and eloquent, touching the hearts
of those assembled about the
grave. The deceased at the time
of his death resided in Jefferson
countySbut he was born and reared
in Ironton. He served as constable
of the township and marshal of the
town for many years. He was
succeeded by j. l.. Baldwin, and
he by Jno. l. Marshall, now sheriff
of Iron county. About ten years
ago, Mr.. Patton removed to Jeffer-
son county and he resided there
until the end. Some eighteen
months ago he was assaulted and
seriously injured, the story OF
which was told at the time in these
columns. But he recovered from
that to be finally stricken down
by a complication OF disease.
Last March, after having devel-
oped malignant cancer, hs was
taken to the Skin and Cancer
Hospital, st. Louis, where he died,
Skill and attention could not re-
lieve him. His brother, DR.. w. @,
Patton, of Cape Girardeau, saw
that no means of cure and help
were left unemployed, but it was
all without avail. He sleeps the
sleep everlasting, and the places
that knew him will know him nc
more.
