The editor is indebted to his niece,
Miss Elizabeth Tetwiler, daughter of
Mr.. Q. w. Tetwiler of Poplar Bluff,
for sn invitation to attend the Com
mencement Exercises of the Kroeger
School of Music, Wednesday after
noon, June 16, 1915, at the Music Art
Hall, st. Louis. Miss Tetwiler will
depart this week for an extended
visit to the Pacific coast.
Through the effort of Councilman
Trauernicht a granitoid walk has been
built from the railroad station to
Main street. Long needed. Now if
the railroad company car be induced
to furnish a street light Ironton station
will be all right for the night traveller.
The railroad people have generously
donated two cars of cinders to be used
around the depot.
DIR. w. II. Farrar of De Soto wBs
here Monday to hold a consultation
with the local physicians over Willie
Curry, the 14-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. F. Curry of Russellville, who
has been suffering from kidney trou-
BILE. The lad was taken to a st. Louis
hospital Tuesday morning. The many
friends of the family hope to hear of
an early improvement in his condi-
ton.
Gretchen, the twelve-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fenton
Morris, who lives west of lronton, was
quite seriously hurt by being thrown
from a horse last Friday about noon.
The horse was rounding the corner,
south of the courthouse, and in some
way slipped and fell, throwing the
girl. She was unconscious for some
time but has since been doing nicely
and it is hoped will suffer no per-
manent injury.
H. @. Stevens, formerly Collector
of this county, was a caller at this Of
fee yesterday. This was his first visit
to Centerville in 25 years, and he re-
marked that he was most agreeably
surprised at the many improvements
that had taken place and said that he
hardly recognized a building standing
now that was here when he was last
here. He is living at Bunker where
he has a responsible position with the
Bunker Cutler Lumber Company

Miss Adeline Steel entertained at
the home Of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Adrain Steel, Saturday afternoon
from 8 to 5 o'clock in honor OF her
fifth birthday. Thirteen little boy
and girl friends were present. Games
and music made the afternoon
pass pleasantly. Miss Geraldine Fauth
was the ~soloist. Each visitor was
given a souvenir, the boys a %licorice
man holding a lantern and the girls a
cornucopia filled with candy. Misses
Elsie Pyle and Frances Schmitz assist
ed Mrs. Steel in entertaining and
serving refreshments of ice cream
and cake.-De Soto Times.
The Fruit City Company, who are
developing a large tract Of land near
that place, and twelve miles south OF
C%entervllle, are %cultivating their
young orchard this year by planting
potatoes between the rows of trees,
and as they have a large acreage in
orchard it was not very surprising to
learn that they had planted from 1900
to 1900 bushels of potatoes. The crop
is said to be looking fine and it is the
intention, we understand, to ship a
a rload inthe nextfewdays. We doubt
very much if there is larger "patch'
in the state than this one.-Center-
vile Outlook.
w. r. Hall and Peter Left got away
Tuesday night with their a OF stock
and supplies they we're shipping to
their new home in Poinsett County
Arkansas. The boys had to wait just
one week on DR.. j. Ell. Sebald, the
State Veterinarian, from st. Francois
county, to come andlmake an examln-
alton of their stock, as without his
approval it could not be shipped into
Arkansas. The inspection of the
veterinarian Of four cows and three
mules cost $40. This certainly is get
ting to be a free (?) country. These
Young men were compelled to delay
shipping one week until it suited the
veterinarians pleasure to come to
Ironton and make an examination
Then pay him 800. Too many laws
Far too many laws!

state. The total number Of cases thi'
week is reported at forty and twent,
families are under quarantine regula
tions. All the cases, however, ar
said to be Of o very mild form. TIL
prevalence of the disease Is having
bad effect on business, especially Of
trade coming from out of town. ]

been quarantined, but this report !
untrue, and we are told the town Wi
