Our old friend, Henry L. Sinner
man, returned to Ironton last Thurs
day from Pennsylvania where he spent
the winter. Mr.. Simerman has made
a great many trips between Missouri
and Pennsylvania, but for fast going
he tells us that he broke the record
on this last journey home. He left
Hopewell in Bedford county, Penn
sylvania, on Wednesday morning at
nine o'clock and arrived in Ironton
Thursday noon. The distance is a
fraction over 900 miles. We are glad
to say that Mr.. Simerman's health
is much better than it was when he
left here last fall.
Monday afternoon about half past
one o'clock, as Ben Waldron, who
lives near Middlebrook, was driving
a double team over the railroad cross
ing, north of Pilot Knob, he was struck
by local passenger train No.23, south
bound. Mr.. Waldron says he did not
see the train until he vas on the
crossing, and it was so near and COM
ing down grade at such great speed,
that he saw he could not get his rig out
of the way and he jumped. Simulta-
neously the engine crashed into the
wagon and broke it into flinders; one
of the horses was instantly killed, but
the other only slightly hurt. In his
fall Mr.. Waldron sustained three frac-
tured ribs on his left side, and his face
and head were bruised and cut. II
there are no serious internal injuries,
which a hardly yet be determined,
he will suffer no permanent injury
AS loon as possible after the accident,
the train was stopped, backed up, the
injured man taken on board, and
brought to Ironton to the home of his
son-in-law, J. R. Baldwin. Mr.. Wal
dron is 50 years of age.
Says the Flat River correspondent
in last weeks Pennington News:
arthur O. Crews yesterday became
sole owner and manager of thelMiners
Supply Company store at Flat River
when he bought the entire interest OF
P. A. Shaw of Pennington, who has
held the controlling interest and di-
rected the management since the store
was started some ten or twelve years
ago. MI. Crews is we'll known in Fla
River business circles, having been
connected with various lines of bust
ness enterprises there the past ffteer
years. After disposing of his bakery
business there about a year ago he
became associated with the Miners
Supply Supply, first as salesman and
later, when W. F. Lawrence disposed
of his interest, he became financially
interested and as above stated came
into full ownership yesterday by tax
ing over Mr.. Shaw's interests. Tit
Miners Supply has ranked with thu
leading mercantile establishments 0
Flat River since it's origin. 1t has es
pecially enjoyed a remarkable growth
during the past year and should con
tinue to prosper under the manage
ment of Mr.. Crews, who is an ener
getic, fair-dealing and deserving
young business man"
