Deloge Sun: "We have information
that would indicate big doings about
Iron Mountain by spring. This pro-
perty is now owned by the Mid-Con-
tinent Iron Co., we understand, and
they are making preparations to begin
work on a big scale. This company
has large holding in Carter County
and are operating big plant at Midco.
We are informed that they expect, to
have 1900 men on the payroll at Iron
Mountain by Februry first. They are
now busy repairing all the old houses
and also planning to build quite
number of new ones. There is no
doubt but that very rich deposits iron
ore yet exist in these old mines and
properly worked will mean big pro-
position for the owners as we'll as for
the people living thereabout.
Poplar Bluff Citizen Democrat: /:
"Mrs George Begiey, Jr., will be taken
to a sanitarium probably in Chicago
soon by her mother, Mrs. Effie M.
Ruth, for care and treatment. Her
brave courageous fight to support her
husband, when he became bankrupt
and confessed forger and counter
feiter of legal instruments, was fol-
lowed with complete nervous col
lapsey Her condition for several days
has been very grave and it has been
decided by attending physicians that
it is absolutely necessary that she be
removed to sanitarium. The bank
ruptcy and the confession of forgeries
and counterfeiting and even the three
attempts at suicide on the part of her
husband were each bravely met. 1t
was forced courage, but finally the
hour came when the nervous tension
became SO great that Mrs. Begley be-
came seriously ILL.,"
