life to himl

The flour mills of Dexter and Skies
ton have been shipping large quanti-
ties of -four to Europe within the last
few weeks. All; of this flour goes
south over the Iron Mountain road
and the demand for cars with which to
handle the business has been excep-
tionally heavy. The Poplar Bluff or
respondent of the st. Louis Republic
printed the following Tuesday of last
week: "Flour mills in this section are
working night and day to keep up
with the large orders for export -four.
One mill received an order last week
for 1000 barrels for Gothenburg,
Sweden, to be loaded on the steamer,
King Arthur, which sails from New
Orleans the latter part of next week.
Another mill has an order for 1000
barrels fore Germany for a ship sailing
October 2. An order for 5000 barrels
has just been filled. Since the Begin
ming of the war it is estimated 100, 600
barrels of -four have been shipped
from Southeast Missouri to the war
ring nations"
The Hon. Thos. ]. Atkins, Republican
nominee for United States Senator,
delivered a speech in the courthouse
at Ironton Wednesday evening of last
week. The evening was a disapoint-
ment and the proceedings stale, fiat
and Improbable. In the first place
the honorable gentleman is no speech
maker, and in the second place he
was silent, profoundly silent, on the
one subject on which the Iron County
people would like to hear him declaim
that is the mysterious disappearance
of $61 800 from the st. Louis Sub
Treasury when MI. Atkins was in
charge of that institution. But on
this subject the speaker said never a
word, never a word. He "calamity
howled" to a fare-you-well and with
tears ready to flow told Of the
ruination of the farmers because the
wicked Democrats had removed the
tariff on mules and eggs. Mr.. Atkins
was followed by Mr.. Reppy, Of
Jefferson County, who wants to sue
coed Walter Hensley as Congressman
from this district. But he will never
do it; not this year, at least.
