misunderstanding with Henry

fense.
To our friend. Emil A. Roehry,
we are indebted for a pamphlet,
descriptive of the Illinois Traction
System. 1t is a handsome book
let, replete with views and illus
trations of the Traction properties.
Mr.. Roehry is connected with the
engineering department. of the
company.
We understand that w. J. Fitz,
who recently disposed of his mer-
camille business at Des Arc, con-
templates removing to st. Louis
in the near future and will go on
the road for a lumber company.
Walter is a fine business man and
has many friends in Iron county
who wish him every success.
Mr.. David Myers left this morn
ing for Nashville, Michigan, to
pay a visit to a couple of sisters
whom he has not seen for forty
eight and fifty years, respectively.
For a long time Mr.. Myers lost all
trace of these sisters and only
lately located them. We wish
him a pleasant trip and a safe Q
turn.
Arthur L. Royer, who lives on
Little Rock Creek in Madison
county, eight miles southeast of
Ironton, was in town Monday
with the paw of a catamount his
dogs killed one day last week.
The animal, Mr.. Roger says, was
the largest one of the kind he
ever saw, and measured forty
inches from tip to tip. He says
there are quite a lot of catamounts
in that vicinity.
One of the handsomest as we'll
as the most instructive calendars
we have see for this year is that
sent out by the White & Wyckoff
Manufacturing Co., Manufacturers
of "Autocrat'' and Exclusive Cor
respondence Stationery, Holyoke,
Mass. The large type, the featur-
ing of holidays and notable days
of the year in three color process
printing, make the calendar a
most desirable one. A calendar
will be mailed upon receipt of 10
cents in coin or U. S. stamps.
The Rev. Fuller Swift, has, it
is said, given up the management
of the arcadia Valley Enterprise at
Ironton to Howard G.. Taylor.
The reverend editor had some
warm experience while in charge
of the Enterprise in his effort to
r break up an alleged democratic ring
in Iron county, in the process Of
which he charged several of the
!. county officials with looting the
public funds, which, incidentally
he could not bear out, and is ever
now defendant in a libel suit as
result.-Potosi Journal.
! The new road law which be.
comes effective this year, 1912
does away with the old method O.
: payment of taxes for working the
: county roads, i. g., each person
! subject to poll tax putting in
certain number of days work
! each year and getting a receip
from the overseer. The new law
: provides that each person be-
tween the ages of 20 and so pay
road tax of $500 in cash, and eacl
! person over 80 year and those who
Y have been exempted from work
by the county court pay 80 cents
into the road fund.
On account of the extreme cole
and the snow drifts on the track
: we had no train out from Leepe
either on Friday or Saturday o
last week. Several travelling me,
a were caught out along the line bu
q they managed to keep warm com

overtaken them. On Sunday
however, the train got out nearl,
on time and gladdened our heart
with a four days accumulation c
Y mail. Nearly as many peopl
9 went out to see the train as did
q see the first train that ever ran in
q to Ellington.-Ellington Press.
