on what is known as the Webb

after an operation for hernia.
Mr.. Miles has been a resident of
the county for about three years,
coming here from st. Louis. The

ture.

the contract for carrying the mail

twenty years, o of Henry

Top, south of Ironton, is in the st.
Francois county Jail, charged with

A letter from Mr.. w. j. Schwab,
train auditor on the Iron Noun
tain with present headquarters at
Hot Springs, tells us that the
great resort is filled to overflow
ing with visitors just at this time.
He says that the residents tell
him that the big hotels. perhaps,
haven't as many guests as in
former years, but that the small
hostelries and boarding houses
never had such crowds before.
After several days of real sum-
mer weather-almost unprecedent-
ed in February cold rain came
Saturday morning, and there was
a drop of about forty degrees in
the temperature in twenty -four
hours. Sleet and snow fell, more
or less, Sunday and Sunday night.
Monday night the thermometer
registered IL. Because of the UNI
usually mild weather the past
month the fruit was we'll advanced
and it is feared has been greatly
damaged by the present cold snap.
Walter Hubbell, who plays the
part of Aguila, the Indian, in which
he is starring this season under the
direction of Geo. Fl. Bubb, is one
of his best known representations,
he having played this part nearly
one thousand times during the last
five years. If press notices and re-
views are the criterion of truth for
the actors work upon the stage,
Hubbell is the greatest interpreter
of Indian character that has ap-
peared upon the stage since Edwin
Forrest made Metamora, the Indian
king, famous. We have not space
for press notices of Hubbell, as
Aguila, in this article, but in short,
he is a leader in his line. At the

A party of st. Louisans came
down to the Valley last Saturday,
to view the proposed Arcadia
Country Club grounds. The day
was not propitious, the weather
being about as unpleasant as is
known to this uncertain season of
the year: raw, wet and chilling.
Nevertheless the visitors manfully
donned their oilskins, hoisted their
umbrellas, and proceeded to the
Shut-In and overlooked the pro-
posed Club location. Though
taken under such unfavorable cir
cumstances, the survey confirmed
all the promises made by the pro-
~jectors of the Club organization.
One of the visitors was Mr.. FL. M.
Blossom, who, though not directly
interested in the Club project, is an
ardent friend and admirer of the
Valley, and works with heart and
hand for it's recognition and ad-
vancement. All who were here
declared that the Arcadia Country
Club would soon be an ac-
complished fact. So mote it be!
