The following from the Newport
ARK Independent will be of interest
to the citizens of trenton who-acknowl-
edge the musical proficiency Of Mrs.
Damron with regret that her talent is
no longer an asset of this community:
"The choir of the Methodist church
rendered an excellent program of
music at the evening service Sunday
and in appreciation of their work the
auditorium was packed. 1t was a pro-
gram that would attract pon;church
goers, as well as the regular attend
ants, who love good music, and the
choice selections as rendered in solo
and chorus were attractively render
ed, Mrs. @. P. Damron as director of
the choir for the past several weeks,
deserves a great deal of credit for the
success as she not only possesses a
splendid voice, but is an efficient iu-
structor.
The railroad was damaged greatly
by the high waters. We have had no
through trains since No. 7 went south
Sunday morning. There was several
feet of water over the tracks at Black
well and some landsIiding in the Cliff
Cave neighborhood. But this was all
over soon Sunday and No. % came
from st. Louis Monday noon. The
great damage is between Leeper and
Poplar Bluff where the track is said to
be washed out for miles, conditions
being ven worse, it is said, than they
were last August when several weeks
were required to get the track in
shape. All the through trains are
going over the track on the Illinois
side and will probably continue to do
for several days. We had our first
mail and st. Louis papers since Sun
pay brought to us on train 90 Tuesday,
which will probably be our mail train
from the north until the through
trains are on the road again.
An old Ironton boy, Mr.. Albert J..
Zwart, at present of Grand Junction,
Colorado, will next week be united in
marriage to Mrs, Maude Bunting of
that city. A singular feature of this
romance is that thirty years ago Mrs.
Bunting, then Miss Maude Wilson,
spent several months in Ironton liv-
ing with her relative, Mr.. W. H.
Catern, who spent a year or more in
what was then known as the G. A..
Moser home on Shepherd street, now
occupied by Mrs. Davis, just north
and across the street from W.. T. Gays
residence. Mrs. Bunting's former
husband has been dead about five
years; she is owner of the Grand
Junction Sentinel and has two daugh-
tiers and a son. Mr.. Zwart is presi-
dent of the Redlands Irrigation and
Power Company and the representa-
tive oflthe Henry L. Doherty inter-
ests in the Grand Valley. He is now
at Brown Palace Hotel in Denver
where he will spend a month closing
up his business affairs and then he
and Mrs. Zwart viii spend a year
travelling and resting between Kan
sas City and and Texas points, st.
Louis and Southeast Missouri. Bert
Zwart is well known to Ironton peo-
pie, having been born and reared
here. He is one of the most success
full of our valley boys and worthy in
every way. Sincerely we wish him
and his bride every happiness.
