ceeds. about $75, are to be used toward
buying instruments for. a band thew

Many of the country schools in the
county opened Monday. Several young
teachers left the Valley Saturday and
Sunday for the scene of their labors.
Here is a list of them with the location
of their schools: Miss Ada Farmer,
Pine Grove; Miss Leila O'Neal, Hogan;
Miss Mary Steele, Brunot; Miss Pearl
Sherman, Crane Pond; Paul Steele,
Annapolis. We wish each and every
one of them the greatest success May
they come back home laden with lau-
rels and happy in the knowledge of a
duty faithfully discharged.
They sat on the steps at midnight, two
fools that were better in bed, murmur-
ing honeyed nothings, while the silver
moon hung her head. Two fools with
joyous elevation snapped the microbes
on their lips, and thrilling with a queer
sensation from toes to their finger tips.
Telling the same stuff oyer, hat was
nothing when it was new; giggliug,
gushing and burning, but frozen thru
and thru. This is the fond affection,
the young folks have to bear; they
think it love undying, and angels in
envy stare. The bachelors say it is
nothing, the old maids say it is vice,
and mamms says it is naughty; but the
youngsters know it is nice.-EI.
A preacher at Scott, Kansas,
preached a brief but beautiful funeral
sermon the other day. Here it is:
"a word to all. Post norton praises
are in the air. People kiss their dead
who never stop to kiss their living;
sobs, but fail to throw their arms
around their loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battle of life. A word of
cheer to the struggling soul in life is
worth more than the roses of Chrisen-
dom piling high on casket covers. The
dead can't smell flowers but the living |
can; scatter them broad cast in the
pathway, therefore, and pluck out the
thorns before it is too late."
From the Pennington Herald: ''Mr.
Edwin Carter, who is here in the in
terest of the Bell Telephone Co., in
forms US that the right of way has al
ready been secured as far as Liberty
Vile. The Bell people have had their
long distance line into De Soto for the
it southwark this summer as far as
Fredericktown in one direction and
Arcadia in the other. We understand
that Pennington will be a sort of
headquarters for the company in this
section. The line will be run down
the Iron Mountain railroad to Bis
marck, thence directly to Pennington.
Connections will also be made with
Bonnie Terre and the mining district
of St. Francois county. A branch line
will be run over to Potosi from Mineral
Point. This is the beginning of a
great network of telephone connections
that will ultimately i've the entire
State and ever the entire country.
The actual work of construction is in
progress south of De Soto, and Mr..
Carter thinks the line will be in work
ing order in Pennington in time to re-
ceive over it the returns of the Presi-
Dental election. 1t is positively hard
to realize that we are so0 to be in
telephone communication with all the
great cities of the United States. 1t is
certainly a forcible illustration of the
wonderful progress of the times"
There was an election in Pilot Knob
July 25th for the purpose OF electing a
Chairman o: the Town Board of Trus-
tees to succeed the late Ferdinand Inn
mer. There were two candidstes-
Joseph Madlinger and James Earl,
both Republicans and well known citi-
zens of the town. As the candidates
we're both of the same political faith,
there was no contest On political lines,
but it seems a fight was waged with
the German element OF the town on
one. side, and those opposed to German
control on the other. Madlinger re-
ceived the German support and Earl's
cause was espoused by the ''ansis."
The contest was warm all day long, |
and when the polls were closed in the
evening the vote was announced as
Madlinger %, Earl, 20. The latter,
however, contends that the election
officers s'didu't do him right" He
saws the count Isn't fair; that he can
