our entire stock of goods for this fall

Since then prices have gone high.
We marked our prices low and are

our fortunate purchases.

One of the local Republican candi-
dates was el~ectioneering the past
week with a man who had always
been regarded as a staunch Republic
can so far as National and State
candidates we're concerned, but
frequently votes for some local
Democrats. Imagine the utter as
constituent of the aforesaid candidate
when the man he was talking to said:
I'll tell you what I'll do. You
vote for Wilson and I'll vote for you.''
Needless to say there was nothing
doing. The candidate HE'D to other
fields.
Ironton was without electric lights
in the houses Friday, Saturday and
Sunday nights, a new boiler being
put in at the plant. There were lights
on the streets, however. Monday
lights we're "cut out" on the street
and the house service restored. 1t is
said that full service in the houses and
on the streets will be given this
Wednesday, evening. 1t is GER
tainly to be hoped the new boiler will
insure better service. For almost a
year our lights have been abominable
with apparently no effort on the part
of the owners of the plant to improve
conditions. Our people have been
most patient and ~forbearing in the
premises. We hope for better things
from now on.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Scoggin, OIL
Glover, we're quite pleasantly surpris-
ed last Friday by the unexpected ar
rival of their youngest daughter, Mrs.
9. E. Kowitz, whom they hadn't seen
for almost four years. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kowitz are now living at Kansas City
Mo. They resided on a ranch in
Oregon one year and a half and lived
a year and ten months in Missoula
Montana, and left Montana because o.
the high altitude affecting Mrs.
Kowitz's health. 1t being almost i'm.
possible for a nervous person to live
in high altitude. Mrs. Kowitz liket
Western Oregon better than Montana
although Montana is prosperous anc
one of the coming States of the West
and would have remained there but
for the altitude.
From the Pennington Times:
"About II O'Clock Sunday morning
automobile loads of st. Louis people
began to arrive at the st. Francoi:
Hotel in this city for dinner, and BY
IL o'clock about go OF them were eat
ing dinner there. The party was en-
route to their homes from a visit t.
Arcadia, where they had spent seve'
raj days at that popular resort. Thir
large party, coming without any ad
vance notice, caused quite a hustle
about the st. Francois in making the
preparations for feeding them, but
the proprietor, Fl. d. Baker, was equa
to the emergency, serving them vel
and sending them on their way wei
pleased with the service that had beef
rendered them.n
