each month as the time Of meeting.
The members will entertain their
husbands and a few invited guests at
the Baptist Old Folks Home Thursday
evening, December 10th. Mrs. Leila
County superintendent of
Medal Contest work, reported that
a splendid class had been organized
and would give the first contest at the
Baptist Church, December S1st.
Mr.. R. A. Knapp Sunday received a
from the Public Utilities Com
mission informing him that the COM
mission had been advised by the Iron
Mountain railroad officials that a new
time card would go into effect
on Sunday, December 9th, and
that on and after that date Ironton
would again be a stop for No. 5,
south-bound at 11:27 P. M. The letter
did not state whether the train would
stop here regularly or merely stop to
discharge st. Louis passengers. This
station should be made a regular stop
for that train. Mr.. Knapp is entitled
to the thanks OF the public for the in
terest he has evidenced in this matter.
The ladies last Friday afternoon eff
fected an organization whose purpose
will be the improvement of the ceme-
teries. The name is Cemetery I'm
provement Association. Mrs. Frank
AXE was chosen President and Mrs.
A. L. Schwab Secretary and Treasurer.
Each member pays annual dues of
$120. In this and other ways it is
proposed to raise a fund to carry on
the work. All persons desiring to be-
come members will send their names
with dues to the President, Secretary
or any member of the association.
Dues are payable, yearly, quarterly or
monthly in advance. 1t is a most
worthy cause and shouldbe generously
encouraged.
The Rev. DIR. Fuller Swift, now of
Carthage, Mo-, former pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Ironton, but
who has recently renowned the Bap-
fist faith and now seeks to become a
minister in the Episcopal church, ex-
ploits his career in a recentissue of an
Episcopal church paper. Among 9TH
er things he recites that the last ten
years of his life have been devoted
to sales business, but, strange to say
he makes no allusion therein to his
Arcadia Valley career, says nothing
abouthis connection with the stipend
GUS Murdoch Crumb proposition, nor
his famous letter to Mr.. Ham of Del
aware. Neither does he make men
ton in any way of the vote of conf
dence and esteem given him one sui
try day in August, 1911, on Arcadia
Heights. Ingratitude, base ingrati-
-
tude!
Ii was a remarkable entertainment
that Mr. d. r. Kroeger gave us last
Friday evening. I have not that
knowledge of the "divine art" re-
quisite to portraying its wonderful
capabilities as exemplifed in the num-
bers SC exquisitely rendered by the
artist, and shall not attempt it. I can
only say that from the start to the end
the audience was translated from the
everyday world into another sphere,
and reveled in the soft delights of
F%airyland. With each number Mr..
Kroeger gave us a short descriptive
address, setting forth the theme and
purpose of the composer. Two num-
bers-"Egeria" ana "Dance of the
Elves" his W compositions-were
deservedly given special applause. At
the conclusion of the Recital, quite an
ovation was given him by the audi
ence he had held in pleasing thrall for
two hours which had passed as on
winged feet.
Centerville Outlook: "It is reported
from a certain section of the county
that there is a wave of crime, the like
of which was never known before.
The alleged crimes range from boot
Logging whiskey and timber stealing
to hog and cattle stealing-in fact,
sometimes it is found that a fat COW
or steer has been shot down and the
choice parts taken and the remainder
left to rot, while, in other cases, it has
been found that stock has been shot
down and left as it fell. OF course
these crimes are being committed by
a very small per cent. of the worst ell
ement in that section and it is a hare
matter to obtain the necessary evi.
dence on which to base prosecutions
although Prosecuting Attorney John
son has filed a large number Of infor'
nations against parties for timber
stealing and selling whiskey unlaw.
fully. 1t is more than probable thai
the grand jury will take up these caset
where the officers have been unable
to get the necessary evidence"
