The companies in ihe Lead Belt in
st. Francois county last week increas-
ed the pay of the wsge-esrners FIVE
per cent. This voluntary increase was
made, the employers state, because of
an Improvement in the lead market.
The present schedule provides that
the lights shall burn until midnight.
That being the case, there should be
lights until II O'Clock, and not shut off
at ten or fifteen minutes before that
time, as happened more than one
night the past week.
When w. II. Smoilinger bought the
Iron Mountain tract about fourteen
years ago it was said he paid 500, 900
for the 1900 acres. The price paid
for the property in the sale made a
few weeks since is said to, have been
in excess of 100000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Lobb, who had
their home west of Ironton des troyed
by fire couple of months since, were
here from st. Louis the past week.
They expect to build cobblestone
bungalow on the site of their former
home, early next spring.
Those who attended the corner
stone laying of the new Masonic hall
at Caledonia Wednesday OF last week
report very enjoyable day. Their
was large attendance and the good
people of Caledonia dispensed hospi-
tality with lavish hand.
What is the reason some concerted
move is not made by the people OF
Ironton to compel the railroad COM
pany to maintain night Office at this
station? The business here justifies q
night office and it would be great
convenience to the public.
Mrs. G.. Harris, of st. Louis, was an
Ironton visitor couple of days last
week. Mrs. Harris is daughter Of
the late DR.. d. Clarkson, for many
years resident of the south end oi
the county. Mrs. Harris left here 9
year or more ago for st. Louis snd
says she and her family like it very
we'll up there.
Recorder Hawkins issued the fol-
lowing marriage licenses the past
week:
Henry Schenbel, Jr., and Margar
etha Doyle of st. Louis.
Ben F. Lowe of Kiefer, Oklahoma
, and Grace Depew of Ironton.
John P. Martineau of st Charles
Mo-, and Emma M. Reichert, o
J Arcadia.
Let the lights burn up till twelv'
O'Clock at night and until eight o 'clocl
in the morning. 1t isn't fair no
square to cut us off both morning an
evening before those hours. You arr
