interesting letter from its longtime

journing in Colorado. Mr.. Hilburn
always writes an interesting letter

How long has 1t been since we had
a real circus in Ironton? Ten years
or longer, hasn't ii? And yet in the
good old days of yore the circus was
as certain to come as the summer
time. Well have to confess that we
don't like the change.
The base ball game between the
Fats and Leans in Fletcher's Field
Wednesday afternoon of last week
did not draw very large attendance,
the gate receipts being about $50.
The Leans won the contest in o score
of 175 to 176, or something like that.
Truly remarkable the number of
visitors that come to the valley and
journey down to Lake Killarney.
We wish there vas some way of tell
ing just how many strangers come to
our valley in the course of a season.
The number would be amazing to us
all.
