to pay a license of $50 each for the

Not a chance to harvest ice this
winter, it GEMS. Although people
recall that twenty two years ago this
February we had the coolest siege of
weather ever known in this country.
For ten days the thermometer regis

The remains of Mrs. Mary Grimm
were brought here from O'Fallon,
Ills, last Wednesday and inferred in
the Masonic cemetery. The husband
of the deceased and a couple of her
brothers, the WEIGH boys, accom-
panied the remains here. Mrs.
Grimm was sixty years of age and
for many years made her home, in
Ironton, going to Illinois in 1902.
Many friends heard of her passing
with sorrow.
Patrons of the picture show were
highly gratified last week by the an
~nouncement that Manager Schaefer
of the Academy Theatre had pur-
chased the Academy of Music build
ing. The purchase means that Mr..
Schaefer will become a fixture in the
valley. He has proven himself a
first class picture show man and given
US a line of attractions not often
presented in a community the size OF
ours. We wish him success and be-
lieve he will achieve it.
The Committee soliciting for the
American Syrian Relief Fund of the
Ironton Presbyterian Church wish to
thank all members and friends who
contributed for this cause. Fifty

has been given to Mrs. Chas. Hanson,
the church treasurer, who has sent
the amount to the foreign mission
board in New York City.

T. H. Coxey has been busy the past
few days circulating a petition in his
behalf to secure the appointment at
postmaster. H. O. Oebler also is ar
applicant for the same position. Mr.
Goeltz's term as postmaster expired
last July and has been holding over
since then. His name was sent tt
the Senate in December for reap
, pointment, but it is a question whether
that body will confirm any appoint
ments before March 4th. The Bis
marck office is under civil service
and unless that order is %rescinded, al
the the applicants would have to tskt
