few around the next batter's neck and
make him look like he was playing
tag When Petty wanted Flat River
to hit, they hit; when he didn't want
them to hit, they didn't hit. Barney
Blue scored for Flat River in the ninth
on n hit and two errors by Howell.
Only in the first inning dm the Browns
swing at the ball like they wanted to
hit it, when Niles, first up, got two

as follows; Stephens, catcher; Petty,
pitcher; O'Connor, first base; Niles,
second base; Yeager, third base; Hart
zell, shortstop; Howell, left field

THE SYNOD or MISSOURI
OF the Presbyterian Church Will Meet
in Pennington on tuesday,
October 20

On Tuesday evening. October
10Th, the Synod of Missouri, Pres
byterian Church. will convene in
the Pennington Presbyter II
Church. The opening sermon will
be preached by Rev. W. H. Mar.
guess, ID. D., of the Louisville,
Ky, Presbyterian Theological Sem.
mary. DR., Marques is well known,
not only throughout this State, but
particularly by II large number of
Presbyterians in this vicinity. He
is man Of unusual ability. He
breaches the opening sermon upon
the invitation of the pastor Of the
local church, who, as retiring mod.
orator Of the body, would have
performed this duty had not the
Synod met in the church of which
he has charge.
Between eighty and one hundred
representatives are expected to at
tend this meeting. Owing to the
distance from many of the churches
in the Northern part of the State,
it is more than probable that many
of these will not be represented by
elders.
All of the sessions of the Synod
are open to the public and cor
dial invitation is extended to all
to attend. The evening sessions
will all be of a popular character.
The day sessions will be largely
devoted to the consideration of the
business of the Church in the State.
These are always characterized by
interesting discussions and those
who are able to attend will profit
by the exercises.
1t is probable that the hours for
the various sessions of the Synod
will be as follows: Morning, from
9 to u O'Clock; afternoon, from
l:30 to ) O'Clock; evening. from
G:45 TO the pleasure of the body.

Light More Light

wonder il the people of Farming
ton realize how the town is spreading
out in all directions. In the north,
east, south aud west, new houses are
being butt As rapidly as the carpenters
can do the work, and 80 far these sec
tions are dark at night, for there has
been no provision for the extension of
the electric light system. Il is aboul
time for new contract with the clec.
lric light plant, and consequently it is
good time to consider the extension
of the system. Ii has been estimated
that the town revenue from all sources
Is something like $40, 900, and expenses
for salaries, waterworks and electric
lights amount to about half that sum.
There seems to be an opportunity now
to arrange not only for the lighting
OF the new portions Of the town, but
also to contract for arc or additional
lighting around the public square, by
placing the lights at more frequent 10.
teryals. Nearly all the newspapers Of
the Southeast cite Pennington as one
of the most up.to- date towns in this
section, and so she should live up to
her reputation Handsome modern
residences, most excellent sidewalks,
the finest telephone service possible,
an electric light plant capable OF ex.
panding by proper patronage, full
lines in all the business houses, are a
few of the good things of which Farm
iugton can boast with pride. Civic
Improvement is being considered, aud
the time is not far distant when the
sewerage system for all over town
will be considered. We oil should
take an interest in the improvement of
the town, and then there will be truly
