young man, well and favorably
known to our people, and his bride
is a charming young lady from
Madison county. We wish for
them bliss unalloyed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Twomey will make their
home in Ironton.
Mike Kelly, a young man abeut
eighteen years of age who lives in
Des Arc, was brought to Ironton
Monday of last week and lodged
in jail, charged with having bur-
glarized the store of Judge Wm.T.
Stevenson at Des Arc a few nights
previous. Kelly is charged with
stealing a suit of clothes and some
liewelry, worth probably $40 or
more. He was apprehended at
Piedmont where he had pawned
some of the stolen property. Kel-
ly was tried in the circuit court
here last fall, on the charge OF bur-
glaring a resid ence in Des Arc,
but was acquitted on the theory
that he was not responsible.

Ironton Lodge, No. 244, K. P, at
the Academy of Music last Friday

represented Damon and Pythias,
MI. j. M. Hawkins, on behalf OF
the lodge, in a very appropriate
speech, presented the honored
guest with a watch charm. Then

spread it was, too. Then, after ar
hour or two of conversation, in
terspersed with some delightful
selections by the Ironton orches'
ira, the invited guests dispersed,
all declaring the evening to have
been as pleasant and happy a ON
as they had experienced in a Ions
