two days. She was a member of
the Christian Church for nearly a
quarter of a century. She was aged
81 years, a native of Missouri, and
will be remembered by some of
the older residents as Miss Melissa
Isabel Marshall. To those who
knew her she was ever a kind and
obliging neighbcr. She never al
lowed her own troubles to prevent
her from administering to the
needs of others. The funeral was
from the Christian church, Sum
day, January %, 1912. The be-
reaved brother has the sympathy
of the entire community. x.
Died-At st. Louis, Mo-, Sun
day, February 4, 1912, William
Gillian, aged about forty years.
Deceased succumbed to a malig-
nant attack of pneumonia, and his
remains were brought here and
inferred in the K. P. Cemetery
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Gillian
had been a resident of Ironton,
but for some years past was To-
Gated in st. Louis. Like all men,
he had his weaknesses, but they
we're compensated by traits which
disarmed illwill and left him with
out an enemy. May he rest in
peace, and be his awakening left
to Him who judgeth not as men
Judge one another-to Him whose
mercy and forbearance are in
finite.
Miss Alberta Claire, "The Girl
from Wyoming" who is making
the trip from Sheridan, Wyoming,
to New York City, on horseback,
rode into Ironton last Thursday
about noon, and after eating din
ner at the Commercial Hotel pro-
ceeded on her way northward.
She rode from Hogan that norm
ing and spent Thursday night at
Bismarck where the peopletender-
ed her a reception. Miss Claire's
garb is that of a cowboy and she
carries a six shooter. Her horse
is a yellow mustang and seems
little the worse for his long jour
ney over mountain and desert and
through the marshes of the south.
A dog, half Newfoundland, half
wolf, trudges along.with the pony
and guards his mistress with a
watchful eye. She is a small
woman but has plenty of courage
and talks quite entertainingly of
her long ride.
At the meeting of the city Gun
Gil Monday evening City Attor-
ney Damron was instructed to
prepare a granitoid walk ordi-
nance to be introduced at the
meeting of the council in March.
The ordinance will require walks
to be built on Main street from the
depot to the southern limits of the
city. While no positive conclu-
sion has yet been reached as to
the side streets the ordinance will
probably provide for walks on
Knob street from Russell north TO
Madison; on Shepherd street
from Russell north to Dent; on
all the streets running east and
west, from Russell street, south,
to Madison street, north, the or
dinance will probably order walks
between Knob and Shepherd
streets. This, we understand, is
about the idea of the council at
present. OF course. it will take
some time to construct the walks
and the ordinance will possibly
give a years time for compliance
with it's provisions.
The Amateur Dramatic Club,
"The Climbers" lately held bus
mess meeting and decided to or
ganize a permanent company to
give entertainments from time to
to time for benefit of local i'm
provements. Mrs. St. Louis was
elected director; Miss Laura Tap
ley, secretary and treasurer; Mr..
H. Collins, business manager.
Ten dollars were given to the Ar
cadia Heights road and five dol
lars to Arcadia Country Club road.
Other amounts will be given to
different objects as they present
their needs. A vote of thanks was
given Miss Dunn for the able man
ner in which she assisted in pro-
ducing their first play, "The
Prince of Liars" While "The
Climbers do not claim to be pro-
fessionals, yet they are all giving
their time and best energies to adj
vance a good canse-improvement
in Arcadia Valley. They wish to
thank the people who so generous
ly accepted their first attempt,
and trust to continue in favor
until many good results are
brought about in the line on
which they are working. A new
play will, in the near future, be
produced.
VIM. Aldridge, who lives in Pr
lot Knob, was considerably star
tied about midnight Monday, on
awakening from. a sound sleep. to
discover a strange man in the
room, disrobing, and preparing to
get into another bed. Aldridge
Jumped from his bed, grabbed an
ak that was near, and asked the
intruder who he was and what he
wanted. The reply was, tsPretty
cold weather, isn't it?" Aldridge
realized at once that his unbidden
nocturnal visitor was unbalanced
mentally so he had him put on his
clothes, then Aldridge called a
neighbor, and the two brought the
man to Ironton, and turned him
over to Sheriff Marshall. Their
charge vas very docile and offered
