A most meritorious entertainment
was that given by the Jessie L. Hud-
son Entertainment Company at the
Academy of Music Monday night. 1t
was elasticity far the best pro-
duction it has been our good fortune
to witness in Ironton in a long, long
while. Both of the ladies who par
ticipated were true artists and their
every effort was to please. The pro-
gramme was most happy in concep-
ton and perfect in rendition. The
Jessie L. Hudson Entertainment
Company well merits all the praise
that has been BESTOWED on it.

just closed a deal with B. B. Caboon
of Fredericktown, Mo-, for over sew

which is now standing three million
feet of very fine white oak and yellow
pine lumber. This body of timber is
located just across the Iron county
line in Madison county. Last week

mill near the center of the tract. This
timber is said to be the finest quality
of oak and pine that nov remains un-
touched is this part of Missouri.

craft and all SO arranged that each

McNabb & OarkinsA are proceeding
with the work of drilling the we'll OF
the M. E. Assembly grounds at Ar
cadia. Solid rock was e%ncountere
at depth of twenty feet and quit
a stream of water secured at 70 fee
At eighty three feet the drill wen
through a foot of clay that filled th
hole with mud. Ten feet further an
other foot of clay was encountered
This is most unusual and the well me
say that in fifteen year experienc
they never met with anything like
before. The mud coming from tn
clay was enormous and interfere
greatly with proceeding with tn
work. Indeed, for a while it locke
as if the hole would have to be abar
doned and another we'll started. A
much as three car loads of clay an
mud were taken from the hole. Aftt
two or three days, however, the watt
clered and work has proceeded mol
! satisfactorily. At a depth of 102 fe'
the we'll supplied LA gallons of wat'
an hour. 1t is hoped to get a muc
/, more bountiful stream than this befol
! the drilling is done.
