When Mrs. Banner returned Friday
from her visit with her parents in
Pueblo, Colorado, she was surprised to
find the parsonage alive with friends
and the savory OdOrs of a feast. At
the head of the table the Presbyterian
minister did fill Duty and kept an eye
on representatives of nearly all the
denominations of the Valley. 1t is
questionable whether Mrs. Banner APP
preciated the enovating of the house |
and the new wall paper and paint more
than the good dinner, but the kindness
of the ladies will mark one of the very
pleasant recOllections of a wandering |
preachers family.
j. A. Bell of Reynolds county, who
enlisted with Company B., First Mo-.
in June and has spent the past two |
months at Chickamauga, was a caller |
at this Office Monday evening. The |
First Missouri is now in camp at jeff |
erson Barracks and Mr.. Bell has a |
thirty days furlough. At the termin- |
alton of that time it is likely the COM |
pany will be mustered out of service. |
A part of the time there were $1,000 |
troops at Chickamauga and Mr.. Bell |
says the conditions were not just what |
could be desired. On the whole, |
though, the first Missouri Jared fairly |
well, and enjoyed better health than |
many of the regiments in camp.
The following is taken from last |
Thursdays ST. Louis Star: 1.-Two young |
and pretty girls with desire to see a |
large city are held prisoners in the !
female detention room at the Four
Courts by Police Matron Gilbert. They
are Arkie Belcher and Lillian Gould. |
They are about II years each, and as |
pretty as pictures. OF life in a city |
they know nothing. Their homes are
in Graniteville, Mo-, from which they |
ran away and their parents are I'M
doubted worrying over their disap- |
pearance. Arkie and Lillian ran away |
because they did not want to go to
school. They told their mothers that
they were going to Ironton, Mo-, but
instead came to st. Louis, arriving
here Wednesday night. At the Union
Station they asked permission to re-
main in the waiting room all night
They said they had acquaintance on
Moore street. The policeman soon
came to the conclusion the girls had
run away from their homes and took
them to the Four Courts. The par
ents have been notified by telegraph
that the girls are in custody in St.
Louis.
