In the circuit court TUESDAY dIter-
noon 6 jury returned a verdict in ia
o Of the defendant in Geo. A. Lef's
suit for ejectment against DR.. G, w.
Farrsr. Several years since when DR..
Farrsr sold his building on Main street
to Left there was a reservation In the
deed that the DIR. should have the use
OF the little office building on the lot
as a DOCTORS Office for his own use
solely. Left ~contended that when the
DIR. let the Red Cross people use the
building he forfeited his right to the
premises and Left instituted proceed
ings.
w. M. Lawson, who a few weeks
since sold his farm in Belleview, last
Wednesday bought the W. M. johnson
farm, about one hundred acres, one-
half mile east of Belleview. After
selling his farm Mr.. Lawson looked
around for another location and the
more he prospected the frmer he be-
came convinced that he had better get
another home in Belleview or close
thereto. In Cape Girardeau county
nothing could be secured for less than
from 500 to $175 an acre. Mr.. Lawson
is a good citizen and successful farmer
and we are glad that he is going to re-
main in Iron county.
About thirty guests betook them
selves to the country home of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. H. Roblee last Thursday, in
response to the genial invitation of
the hostess to the Baptist Ladies' Aid
Society, some few of this assemblage
representing the Old Folks' Home.
The Enthusiastically pleasant man
ner of the hostess, the comforts of the
home, the congeniality the balmy at
mosphere-to say nothing of the en-
ioyment of delicious refreshments
made the afternoon a perfect one.
When the old folks took their depart
ure they expressed (as did all the
guests) great appreciation of their en-
tertainment, but n old lady, more
emphatic than the rest, said, 81. GER
tainly did have a nice time with you
old folks" Was this a joke upon the
youthful matrons in attendance Gone
of whom is the President), or upon
some others of assumed %spryness?
Suffice it to say, non took it seri-
ously.
The High School boys are preparing
to journey to Ironton Friday afternoon
and mix it with the IronUon basket
ball team at the High School. The To-
cal boys mean 10 vindicate our school.
Recently the Ironton boys came here
with their first team and gently eased
a defeat into our second team. The
local team was under the impression
that it was playing the Ironton sec
ond team for the fret half but the
score proved the impression to be
Enthusiastically false. Inquiry developed
that Ironton had no second team.
Now the locals will take their first
team to play Ironton's first team.
The result must be another story Of
Piedmont victory or words and fig
ures to that intent and purpose
Piedmont Banner.
Yes, Piedmont's first team journey
ed to Ironton Friday, but it failed to
"vindicate" and the result was NOT
"another story of a Piedmont victo'
ry." Ironton won the contest by {
score OF 36 to Is, and Piedmont's PROUD
"frst team" weariedly wendell its way
homeward with its colors trailing il
thd humiliating dust Of defeat.
