nett of Edgehill has purchased the
Long farm in Belleview and will move
thereto in a few days. Mr.. Robinett
owns one of the best farms in the
northern part of the county, near

The railroad company recently hada
man stationed at the railroad crossing
north of the Ironton station keeping
tab of the number of foot passengers
and vehicles that went over the cross
ing in twenty-four hours. Another
man kept tab at the Arcadia station.
Whether this means that the COM
pany is considering putting in alarm
bells or gates no one seems to know.
But it probably indicates an innova-
ton of some kind.
Ticket sales at the Ironton station
Hast month were in excess of $500.
This, despite the fact that there is no
night ticket Office here and people
travelling on night trains pay their
fare on the train. Ironton never has
had q square deal from the railroad.
But our day is coming. Among other
things we should insist right now on
q night office being maintained. We
are entitled to it and public convent
ence demands it.

E. L. Purcell, Deputy Game and
Fish Warden, was up from limo last
week on official business. His visit was
partly to do with the efforts made by
certain st. Francois county fishermen
to bring about the destruction of the
Dam at Silver Mine. Mr.. Purcell in
timated that there was no likihood of
the dam being blown out as the pro-
visions for the passage of fish made
by the owner fully met the require
ments of the law. Madison county
will heartily approve this attitude Of
the Game and Fish Department
believing it to be the only fair and
sensible view to take of the matter

graduating Mr.. Anton Roehry up

birthday. He raj a little surprised al
our unannounced Eruption, but arose
to the occasion, and for an hour or sc
we went back to the days when life
