I was mighty glad to meet my old
friend, "Pat" 0'Brien, last Monday.
The meeting was unexpected and he
got the laugh on me. But, never
mind! One of these days / may shave
off MY whiskers and go out to Los
Angeles and give HIM a surprise. Mr..
O'Brien will be here for a day or two
longer and hopes to greet all the old
friends remaining, before taking his

Carol Trammel was arraigned be-
fore Squire Rasche last Thursday on
the charge of having committed a
felonious assault on William Black,

charged. Our informant says that it
looked to him like the wrong man
had been arrested.
The Railway Company ought to in
stall a night agent at the Ironton
station. The patronage given by our
people deserves it and ordinary ac-
co~mmodation demands it. I don't
like to "kick," but the fact is this
town has not been and is not being
fairly treated by the railroad people
''higher up''-it may be from their
lack of knowledge of actuaal condi-
tions; I hope SO, anyway.

half dozen men and women inquiring

One from California, another from
Oregon, and two or three from Ark
ansas. 1t wasn't generally known
here that Mr.. McCarver had SO many
brothers and sisters.
