AS these districts are scattered all
over the county it is a safe predic-
ton that the other districts will
show about the same result.-E-
lington Press.
Mr.. j. N. Bishop says that he
and his family like the south very
we'll, but they are glad to be back
in lronton. Mr.. Bishop has had
employment the past two years as
train auditor on the Mobile & Ohio
railroad, out of Tuscaloosa, Ala
bama. During the winter the
company dispensed with twenty
six of the thirty two auditors en-
ployed, and retained those longest
in the service. 1t is thought the
company will do away with the
auditors altogether in a short time.
The suit brought against Sheriff
Marshall in the United States Cir
cult Court, st. Louis, has been
continued until next September.
This is a suit instituted by Ernest
Perry. of Newport, Arkansas, all
leging false imprisonment and
asking damages therefore. The
suit was originally directed
against the sheriff and his bonds
men, too, but the court, on a de-
murrer filed by the defendant last
week, held that there was no action
against the bondsmen.
The promoters of that new rail-
road enterprise in the south end of
this county offer the citizens in that
section development shares''with
a par value of 500 for S25. The
money raised by this means is to
be expended in the preliminary
survey. The subscribers are ex-
pected to earn the difference be-
tween the actual amount paid for
the shares and their par value by
hustling for the enterprise. Only
one share is to be sold to each
subscriber, but no one who buys
needs hustle unless he wants to-

The Business Mems League had a
good meeting last Thursday night.
1t was announced that %subscrip-
tons sufficient had been secured
to insure the building of the new
road around Shepherd Mountain.
The proposed road leads north
from the terminus of Shepherd
street in north Ironton and wends
around the mountain side inter-
secting with the old road some
where west of the fort field. When
this thoroughfare is completed the
drive can be made around Shep-
herd mountain without crossing
the railroad tracks. The cost of
the roadsis estimated to be about
$500. Work will be commenced
without dalay.
On last Saturday at De Soto the
farmers who own land along Big
river from it's mouth clear up to
the lead mines met and formed a
preliminary organization with a
view to taking action against the
various Lead Companies because
of the continued and increasing
quantity OF slime being discharged
into the river and which in time
of overflow is being deposited on
the fertile bottom lands and ruin
ing them for crop purposes, also it
was claimed by Jefferson county
farmers that the slime water was
killing much fine stock. There
were over 100 farmers at the meet
ing, some of them being repre-
scented by proxy or power of at
torney. A committee was appoint
ed to prepare plans for a perma-
nent orgalization.-Bonne Terre

The Supreme Court Tuesday
handed down a decision reversing
the finding of the Iron county cir
cult court in the case of State VS..
VIM. Borders and VIM. Persons.
Borders and Persons we're convict
ed of burglary at the October
term, 1908, of the Iron county cir.
cult court, and given sentences of
five years each in the penitentiary.
The defendants were taken to
Jefferson City but their attorneys
appealed to the Supreme Court,
and the decision was rendered
Tuesday. Persons will probably
be brought back here for trial, but
as Borders is also serving a five
year term for Arson he will hardly
be returned here. The charge
against Persons and Borders for
burglary was for breaking into R.
@. Knights beer depot in Arcadia.
