In the announcement column of this
issue you will find the name of DIR. j..
e.. Martin of Edge Hill, No., as a
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Representative of Reynolds
county. DR.. Martin is well known to
many of our citizens in the north end
of the county and it is through their
urging him to make the race that he
is doing so. DIR. Martin has been a
resident of this county for a year or
more, having come here from Iron
county. He represented Iron county
in the Legislature from 1911 to 1914,
having been elected two terms. His
record is open to all. While we are
not acquainted with DR.. Martin, yet,
should he be elected, we believe that
he will discharge the duties of his
office with credit to himself and
constituents. He asks you to consider
his claims on August 1st.-Ellington

The entertainment given at the
Academy of Music by the Seniors of
the Ironton High School last Friday
evening raj as good an amateur pre-
s~entation as I ever attended. The
play, 1.-THE Sweet Girl Graduates"
deserved the plaudits it called forth
from an unusually large audience. 1t
went through without a lapse or halt,
from start to finish, and / was not a
little surprised at the manner in which
the various characters assumed were
d~elineated. 1t is one thing to mouth
a text and another to "hold the
mirror up to nature" I congratulate
all who trod the boards for a brief
space that night. Miss Irene Mar.
shall gave us a delightful violin solo,
and the piano duet by Misses Ander-
son and Gross was heard by all with
pleasure. The orchestra, under direc-
ton of Mr.. @. F. Hanson, filed the
interstices with several selections.
The receipts Of the evening footed up
to about sos.
