sons mother, Mrs. Jennie Morri-
son, spent the summer in Ironton,
leaving here about two weeks ago
for Louisville, Kentucky. To her
we extend sincere sympathy in
her great sorrow.
Quite a stir was caused on the
streets of our town Tuesday morn
ing about3 eight o'clock; the ex-
element was due to four negroes
who had been stealing a ride in a
new coach belonging to the Inter-
national & Great Northern Rail-
road; the coach was being carried
by an Iron Mountain through
freight. After the train stopped
at Williamsville for orders the
conductor discovered them and
chased them off; the negroes start
ed off at a good gait when some
one yelled "Marshal!" the niggers
Immediately put on more speed
and proceeded to "whoop EN- up
a-little" disappearing over the
top of a hill back of town.-WdI-

A report from Ironton that the
Doe Run Load Co. had on We'd
nesday purchased a large tract of
land in the Western part of the
county for a total consideration of
S71, 500 is branded by a representa-
tive of the company as being
wholly untrue. We are informed
that the land was purchased by A.
A. Parker, of Lesterville, a wealthy
Reynolds county stock dealer, and
that the company had absolutely
nothing to do with it. The land
in question was owned by Red
mond Black and is a tract of about
1900 acres located on Clayton
Creek, Is miles west of Ironton,
and on the line of the proposed
new railroad out of Bismarck
Pennington NeWs.
The rector of Trinity Church, De
Soto, will preach in st. Paul's
church, Ironton, this Wednesday,
evening. A class will be instruct
ed for confirmation. Confirma-
ton will be administered by CO.
adiutor Bishop F. F. Johnson next
Sunday morning at II o'clock.
We reproduce the following from
the last issue of the jackson Cash
Book: "Bishop Johnson is a man
of wide und varied experience and
his years of service as missionary
in the West, in Colorado, Califor-
MIA, Arizona, and later al mission
airy bishop of South Dakota, have
given him a knowledge of human
nature granted to few. When a
man has endured the labors and
h~ardships with which Bishop John
son met with continually during
his six years service in South Da-
kota, open prairie in summer, with
the blazing sun over his head and
the biting alkali dust in eyes and
mouth, and nothing but alkali wa
ter to drink; in winter with a six
ty-mile wind driving the snow and
dirt until it stings like a lash, and
a temperature thirty to forty de-
grees below zero. When q man
endures all this to spread the word
of God among the scattered ranch
ing communities and squalid In
dian villages of a new field, he
must have a message for US. And
in addition to being a man OF
deeds, Bishop Johnson is one OF
the most forceful speakers in the
American church to-day. Per-
haps it is because he has lived sc
close to the hearts of men that hit
sermons go straig hit to the heart
