Peace on earth, good will to men. December more than half gone, and no ice yet. All parties not masked must enter the gallery until 12 o'clock? Hog-killing time is here again, and with it the grinding of the sausage. " Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's geese, nor prepare them for the market. S. W. Andrews is now running a regular passenger ' train out of St. Louis. Parties wan tin; costumes for the bill must leave orders not later than Saturday. Ironton boasts as neat and well kept a post-office as can be found in any town in the State. A present will be given to the best costumed lady and gentleman at. the K. of P. ball. Don't forget the lecture at the M. E. church to-morrow (Thursday) evening. Admission, 20c. A good many of the fair sex were disappointed because that wedding failed to transpire. Rev. D. W. Crow. P. E-, will preach at the M. E. church next Sunday even ing. All are invited. Geese, it is said, once saved the an cient capital of Rome; now it takes capital to save the roamin geese. Ernest Nagel is agent for the Troy Laundry, St. Louis. He sends every Tuesday, the return being made Friday. We understand that there are sever al Cocks of geese in the upper part of town, and that they command good prices. 3Ionday morning, though bright and ciear, was the nearest approach in temperature to winter that we have had this season. By desire of the K. P. boys we state that the supper for their ball will be prepared by and served under the di rections of Mrs. J. T. Ake, and we think their assumption is well justified that it will be all that can be desired. W. T. Gay yesterday resigned his position as Mayor, to take effect De cember 18, and a special election was ordered to be held on Monday, Decem ber 31st, 1894, to fill the vacancy thereby occasioned. See notice in this paper. The City Council met last Monday wtk .od adjourned to meet a week later. They met again Monday of this week, and had another adjournment to Tuesday, The cause of so much meet ing in so limited a time we do not know: the proceedings not being fur nished for publication "free, gratis, ind for nothing." The State Normal School at Cape Girardeau, Mo., is having a prosper ous year, and about 25D young people have already enrolled for this Session. A large increase in attendance is ex pected after the holidays. The Third Term will begin January 29th, 1893. Tuition ia free and other expenses are light. For Catalogue, address W. D. Vandiver, Pres't. The Giessing Milling Co. sends us a fine calender for 1895. "Caught in the act" would be the proper title to the elegant colored lithosaph which forms the base upon which rest? the diurnal structure of the coming year. A dude is seen kissing a presumably pretty girl, behind a sheet pendant on a clothes-line; but bright sunshine out lines them on the sereen and gives them away. The railroad bridge gang have near ly completed an iron structure at Mid dlebrook, to replace the culvert there. The dimensions of the outlet thus re placed were not great enough, and considerable damage resulted from the backing up of the water. A suit at law was instituted by Mr. Seitz, and .ma of its results is this new bridge urith ample accommodations for the largest flow of water. Linn Elvins. the man charged with shooting at two men on the road be- tinn Tron Mountain and Iteueview a couple of weeks ago, was arrested at Varminf ton last week and brought jover here. By agreement the charge tit deadly assault was changed to COm- rr! ran assault, to which the defendant pleaded guilty and was fined $55 and costs. The demand thus made upon him was satisfied, and he departed for .home. Thfl Centreville Reformer admits tha'u yite a lot of bitters is consumed in that town in court week, but insists ihat t.h ron countv lawyers do their full share of the drinking. This may be so. or it may not; be it as it may, it doesn't impeach on original statement that the bitters trade was good over there during the late session of oircuit court. We understand that even War ner's Safe Cure goes as a beverage in ae- neighboring municipality upon emergency. At length our friends of the K. of P. have completed all the arrangements fur the Masque on the 26th. The sup per and the music have beed provided for, and the invitation committee have mio concluded their labors. These Hart have had a rather serious time of St. They first ordered six hundred in witatioM, and behold, when these were exhausted, another hundred had Ho be ordered and printed. This took ?eral days, and the last of them could not be issued until the first of this vaelc. But everything is fixed at last, and a big ball will result. Mr. Bobachek, of St. Louis, formerly lead er of the Postlewalte'a Band, will have charge of the music Masques and costumes may be had at Lopez's, and orders left there will receive due at tention. " "VadLbpe s Miss Mamie Baird's music class will give an entertainment, under her di rection, at the Academy of Music, Monday evening. Dec 24th. The pro gram will consist of instrumental and vocal music recitations, etc As its merit will attract,' and as it the only Christmas Eye . entertainment an nounced for the Valley, we feel assured that . the attendance will be large. 1 he concert will begin at 7:30. Doors open at 6:30. Admission, 10c. Chil dren under twelve years of age, free. An employe of Martin's livery stable naa a neat turn-over Monday afternoon. He was driving a buggy from the train. and was closely followed by Bob Blanks, with his mail cart. Com in opposite the stable the employe made a sharp turn to enter, and just as the manoeuvre was in the act of comple tion Blanks' rig' struck the wheel Over the buggy went, the driver falling full length and fiat as a Couader. The horse stopped when the buggy tipped ana siooa quieuy until anver ana ve hicle were in their proper positions again, and no damage resulted. Bishop Tuttle visited this part of his diocese last Monday, holding services at 7 o'clock in the evening at St. Paul's church. A very large congregation assembled to hear him, and were not disappointed in the expectation that an able discourse would be delivered It was the purpose of the Bishop to leaye Monday night for Dexter, where he had an appointment for Tuesday; but, through misapprehension, the hackman did not call at the right dwelling for him, and the train steam ed its way from here to Poplar Bluff short one passenger. So the Bishop lay oyer here perforce until next day, when another train took him on his way rejoicing. Last Sunday morning Messrs. Hugh Bradley and Howard Lindsay hired one of Freeman Martin's rigs and started out for a buggy-ride. The horse was a little lively that moraine, and start ed down the street at a good pace. Taking the bits between his teeth he broke into a keen run, became unman ageable, ran into Lopez's new fence, smashing a dozen palings, then look across the street to Mrs. Lindsay's fence, broke another dozen palings, broke an axle, spilled the young men out, and pursued his mad career south ward. He was shortly after captured uninjured, but the buggy was in for lorn condition. The young men were not hurt but badly shaken up and disconcerted. The. horse was taken back to the stable, and the proposed buggy-ride abandoned for that day. Last Monday was shipped from this town to Clark's Great Uuited Shows, now exhibiting in Texas, a fine band and ticket wagon combined in one. The wagon was built here, and is a credit to the town. The running-gear is painted cream color,, and the body dark green, beautifully ornamented in gold and silver. The sides are paneled with mirrors, and as centre pieces are two tigers' heads. The interior is so arranged as to serve alternately for band and ticket purposes in the lat ter case the seats being taken out, and the side-boards closed inward, form ing the top of the ticket-seller's depart ment. The body is supported on plat form springs and rides as easy as a rocking-chair. Messrs. Pruitt & Mad igan did the painting and lettering, and the job is a commendation to their taste and skill. ' The cost of the vehi cle is about 500. The attorneys who attended the Rey nolds county circuit court report a fair good docket and a thriving bitter trade. That industry seems to flourish over there, as the docket of Commissioner Fox bears witness. Register. Yes, Bro. Ake, all you say is true and we are very sorry for it. Bitters are sold here, and in large quanities, too; especially when circuit court is in ses sion, and Iron county men are always the best customers. Reformer. We feel confident that Bro. Ake did not mean to insinuate that the citizens of Center vllle are not good people but as a matter of course Bro. Bowles feel ing that the good names of his citizens and townsmen were being put in jeop ardy resents the supposed attack and leaves the reading public to think that the polished gentlemen ot Iron county who attend the Centerville court drink Bitters. Wo do not want to believe that the citizens of Iron county drink bitters, for they are used to a much better article of drink. The Current Local. Mace Simpson the other day swore out a warrant against Joe Mahone, charging him with disturbing the peace of his (S.'s) wife. The trial came up before Squire lairchild last Monday and consumed the whole day, even extending into the night several hours. All the parties plaintiff, de fendant, and witnesses are colored. From the evidence it appeared that Mrs. Phoebe Bollinger had heard that Joe had slandered her, and she sent for him. When he came to her house he met her, Mrs. Simpson, and several other colored women. On being taxed with having used language injurious to Mrs. Bollinger, he denied it. but said that he could truthfully say ail those things about Mrs. Simpson, and at the time made her an indecent proposal. Thereupon she had him arrested, and the trial, as above stated, followed in due course. A jury was .impaneled, the evidence of about a dozen witness es wa3 heard, and a verdict against the defendant resulted. He was mulct ed in a fine of $50, which, with the costs, makes a very pretty penny for him to pay on account of his ribald tongue. He hasn't paid it yet, and therefore he's in jail. Messrs. Walker and Edgar prosecuted, and Gen. Win gate appeared for the defence. Freeman Martin, colored, runs a livery stable in the north end of town, as all the world knows. One day a couple of weeks ago, having occasion to go down town, and the weather be ing warm, he pulled of his coat and vest and hung them up in the office. Then he went about bis business. In a memorandum book in the inside pocket of the vest was a twenty-dollar bill. His errand accomplished. Free man returned to the stable, went into the oflice,and re-donned his outer vest ments. Looking to see if his twenty dollar bill was there all right, he was not a little disturbed to find that it had like riches .often do taken unto itself wings and flown away. Be in quired of the boys at the stable if any of them bad seen his bill, or if they bad seen any other person about the premises. No, neither Lewis Boiling er nor rtewt Sides, the two employes, had seen the money or anyone in vicin ity to it in the owner's absence. Free man bad his suspicions, which he com municated to a friend or two, and all hands agreed to watch and wait. A twenty-dollar bill, while of greater value than a one-dollar bill, or one of Tliflr RlanrPa ..in IZnr ma tmiol" pieces, also has its drawbacks which do not attach to the note or coin of smaller denomination. In the first place, a twenty-dollar bill, to be of service to its otherwise impecunious possessor, must be broke," and until it is so broke the aforesaid possessor might practically as well be broke himself. We once owned a twenty-dol lar bill and being out of bread and meat came within an ace of starving before we could make up our mind to part with it. We didn't want to break it, for once broken its particles would go like snow-flakes in July, nor leave a trace behind; and so loos as we had it, we felt comparatively rich, the wolf at the door had lost its terror, and we had the capitalistic pleasure eaca night of placing: our pocket-book under our pillow ere we retired to rest. A man with a thousand twenty- dollar bills might not feel so about it; but we don't know. Again when one of limited means seeks to have his twenty-dollar bill exchanged for small er denominations, a mental note is apt to be retained with it by the capital ist who gives the quid pro . quo. This is sometimes embarrassing, and occa sionally dangerous to the breakee of the bill. To resume our item: Two or three days after Freeman had miss ed his money a friend came to him and told him he had that day seen Lewis Bollinger returning; from Arcadia, by h i way of Russellville, with several packages evidently purchased from one of the stores over there. Following this clue, inquiries were made at Baird & Rockwell's and Whiiworth's, and the twenty dollar bill run into its hole, as it were. Lewis Bollinger had bought three dollars' worth of store' goods, and reeeived the remainder of the bill ingood cash money" of avail able denominations. After a little parley, he confessed to the theft, and, aided by his mother, returned the full amount stolen. It is only by the good graces of Freeman that Mr. Bollinger is not now lying in jail awaiting the judgment day. Arcadia Items. Mr. Andrews is on a through rnn. Mr.Mangold went to Harviel Satur day.

Of course we don't know much sbout finances; how could we, never having been to congress? but we are not very well Impressed with Mr. Carlisle's Scheme to place the finances of this great country in the hands of bankers and speculators. The government, in our humble way of thinking, should say what shall con stitute the currency of the country. If it is to be paper, let Uncle Sam issue it, and issue enough for all necessary purposes. But I believe that all who have no ax. to grind who will take the trouble to read the history of John Laws' great financial scheme in France, which was instituted in 1716, and reached gigantic proportions in the short space of four years, when it burst like a soap-buble, and scattered wide spread disaster I say, those who will take the trouble to read the history of this scheme, will be of the opinion that gold and silver are the proper and the only metals or other substances of which to make money. Gold and sil ver have been used as money since the earliest history, and if any nation on earth ever suffered on account of hav ing too much of this kind of money I have never been able to learn of the event from auy source.

On last Sunday I had the pleasure of hearing my old friend. Rev. Jas. Yount, preach, at Joseph's Chapel. Though the congregation was quite small, owing to the inclemency of the weather, all present were interested in his earnest and energetic presenta tion of the subject he chose for his sermou the absolute necessity or a strict adherence to duty on the part of all professed Christians, in order that they may attain the growth and strength essential to true Christianity. 1st Peter, 2d chap.. 1st and 2d verses, formed the text of the sermon. Mr. Yount has an unusually clear and distinct enunciation and his deliv ery is good; best of all, he enjoys the confidence of a vast number of friends, which he has made by a constant ef fort to be true to his profession.
