J. O. LUCAS expects to open a barber shop in the Fitzgerald building in a few days.  
You are next.

State Bank Examiner NICKOLLS was here on his regular trip Wednesday.  He reports this
bank in a clean and solid condition.

In the excitement attending the democratic victory last week we forgot to say a word 
about the 19 head of fine mules that our old friend Tom JOHNSON of Farmington drove
through here on the preceding Saturday.  He bought them from the JOHNSON Bros. of
Belgrade and they were for shipment to Florida.

Dr. J. L. EATON was called to Belgrade Tuesday on account of a stroke of paralysis from
which Mrs. Thos. MAXWELL, Mrs. EATON's mother was suffering.  Mrs. EATON accompanied the
Doctor.

A crowd of young people were entertained at the home of Miss Laura MORAN last Friday
night and all spent an enjoyable evening and declared Miss Laura a charming hostess.

Some of the members of the local lodge, Degree of Honor, presented an amusing one act
play entitled "Hypnotizing the Landlord" Tuesday evening after the business of the 
meeting was concluded.  The work of the amateur artists was very creditable and received
much favorable comment from the audience.

The skating rink was largely attended by a jolly crowd of young folks last Saturday
night and the evening passed off very pleasantly.

James D. EATON of Concord township, Washington county, passed through here Tuesday 
enroute to Cushing, Texas, where he expects to spend the winter.  Mr. EATON has a farm
near Irondale and although he is away beyond the four score mark, he is actively engaged
in business.  Next to William LONG of Potosi, he is the oldest native born citizen of
his county and he is the only living charter member of Irondale lodge A.F. & A.M., 
whose meetings he seldom misses.  The Gazette hopes that he may enjoy his visit and
return home much benefited by it.

A gay crowd of young girls went nutting Saturday evening and had a jolly time.  A dainty
lunch was served during the evening by Miss Leona PAUL.  The rest of the time was spent
hunting nuts, grasshoppers and gudgeons.

N. A. COTTRELL and wife and Jake BARGER and wife were at Irondale Wednesday, by invita-
tion to attend a birthday celebration at the handsome home of J. I. ROBINSON, president
of the Irondale Bank, his good wife having killed the fatted calf and invited the 
neighbors, all unknown to her husband.  It was the 62nd anniversary of Mr. ROBINSON's
birth and the occasion was a very pleasant one for all concerned, and there must have
been plenty of good things to eat, for the Editor was obliged to help the Bismarck 
contingent from the station to their homes on their return from the celebration, he 
acting in the capacity of Head Lantern Bearer.

We are glad to see our friend Henry ADKINS at it again in his shop and turning out work
to beat the band.  Henry had a tussle with an animal he was shoeing a few weeks ago and
got a dislocated shoulder that rather laid him on the shelf, but it is hard to keep a
good man down so Henry bobbed up serenely and is at his post again doing iron and wood
work and attending to his undertaking and embalming department as if nothing had happened.

County Surveyor Tom HOLMAN surveyed and platted Eaton's addition to Clay Place the first
of the week.  Twenty homes and four store houses are now for sale in this addition at a
reasonable price and on easy terms.  This is a splendid opportunity for men of moderate
means to secure a home in the great and growing Leadwood district.

Henry ADKINS has a turning lathe and band saw now and is prepared to do any kind of 
furniture repairing neatly and skillfully.  This is something that has been needed in
Bismarck for a long time and there are many who will take advantage of the opportunity
offered.
