OF the proposed dam OF the Area
dia Country Club. Some little
preliminary work has been done.
To carry out the plans will require
considerable money, but the place
can unquestionably be made a
most beautiful and attractive one.
Cicero Collins, of SabuIa, and
his son, Albert, have bought the
American Hotel property in IRON
ton from MI. F. Kaths. The price
is said to have been about $4,000.
The Messrs. Collins, we UNDER
stand, will at once put the proper
ty in shape and open a hotel there
in.
Miss Mabel Reyburn, who has
been teaching school at Desloge
in st. Francois county the past
year, was last week elected SUI
perintendent of Music in the pub
lie schools at Bonnie Terre. We
congratulate the young lady. The
position is said to be a very de-
sirable one.
We are requested to state that
people who have money borrowed
from the school fund will, in flu
ture, be expected to pay the in
terest promptly when it is due,
without notice. Where payment
of the interest lapses citation will
be Immediately issued, which
means additional cost.
Prosecuting Attorney Damron
informs us that because of some
irregularity in the notice served
on the railroad company by the
railroad and warehouse commits
sioners the matter of the depot
at Pilot Knob could not be tried
at the recent term of circuit court.
1t will come up again next Octo-
Der.
Jack Baird of Marble Creek was
fined $40 and costs by a jury in
Squire Rasche's court Tuesday,
charged with disturbing the peace.
The trouble originated over the
leasing of some land belonging to
Baird to G. Kuhn. Afterwards
Baird would not let Kuhn culti-
vate the land. Baird will appeal
the case to the circuit court.
Thomas D. Ferguson, who lived
his whole life of So years in Butler
county and who was one of the
staunchest and most successful
business lei and real estate hold
ers in Poplar Bluff, died Sunday
afternoon at $40 o'clock at the
old family residence on Maple
street Immediately west Of the Y.
M. G. A.-Popldr Bluff Citizen.
Prof. M. w. Daugherty has been
elected principal of the public
school at Frankclay, st. Francois
county, for the ensuing year.
There are four teachers in the
school. The salary is S85 and the

the Frankclay district are to be
congratulated on having secured
the services of one of the most
competent teachers in the state.
John Diamond, the Superin-
tendent for the Syenite Granite
Company, at Graniteville, had his
collar bone broken and was quite
badly bruised and skinned while
at work in the shed Tuesday of
last week. MI. Diamond was fix
ing up one of the polishers when
one of the travellers that transport
the stone was run over him crowd
ing him into a very small space.
1t is very fortunate, indeed, that
he escaped SO lightly.
Mr.. Haberman, the attorney
named by the st. Louis Court of
Appeals, in the mandamus pro-
ceedings against County Clerk
Reyburn and Treasurer Jones,
fled a bill for $3.50 for his services.
He spent one day here in the VAL
ley taking testimony. In addition,
he wanted $50 for a stenographer.
Mr., Haberman strikes US as a
very costly lawyer asking triple
frst-rate fees. We understand his
bill was cut to $500 by the court.
Died-At her home in Ironton,
Mo, Saturday, May 9th, 1911, at
5:40 A. M, Mrs. Minnie Irene
Luthy, wife of Chas. N. Luthy,
aged 81 years, A months and 5
days. The funeral was held Sum
day at 2 P. M, and the remains
were inferred in the Masonic Gem
etery, a large concourse of
friends attending. Deceased was
a daughter of Mr.. r. E. Purkiss,
who, with the husband and other
relatives, have the sincere sympa-
thy of the community.
The small pox quarantine at Sa-
bula and attendant expense have
thus far cost the county over $3.50.
1.-THE quarantine was established
last fall and had to be maintained,
more or less, until a short time
ago. 1t looks like a mighty big
expense. The county court wants
it understood that it will not be
responsible for any expense here
after incurred in case of smallpox
or any other contagious disease.
The bills sent in from Sabula are
little sort of outrageous and should
never have been paid.
We learn that an eff tort is being
made to connect the Bellevue tele-
phone line with Potosi, thus giving
the patrons of Potosi Telephone
ICompany connection with the
Bellevue Telephone Company's
phones, numbering more than 100.
It is to be hoped that the arrange
mant can he made which will he a.
