Mr.. Henry Schultz, of Hot Springs,
Arkansas, who has been visiting his
brother in Ironton the past two weeks,
fifty years or more ago conducted the
"Corner Store' in Pilot Knob. He
visited the Knob while on his recent
visit and found it a very different
place from the busting, busy burg it
was when he left it a half century ago.
Hardly a person left that he knew
when he resided there.
At the regular meeting of the Board
of Aldermen for the City of Ironton
Monday night of last week the Board
fixed the rate of taxation for the en-
suing year at 20 cents on the hundred
dollars valuation for city purposes.
This is a reduction of five cents on
the hundred dollars valuation and
will be grateful to the over-burdened
taxpayer in these times of continu-
ally increasing taxes.
