Nothing was stolen from the Belts

FOR MANOA VALLEY

Superintendent of Electric Lights
Frazee of the citv and county service
has been busily engaged in Manoa
marking off the locations for poles on
which to place bracket incandescentt
lamps. The electric light committee
has decided that the appeal of the Ma
noa residents for proper lighting facil-
tiles is a worthy one, and to this end
the darkness will be dispersed.
The experiment of smaller lights has
been tried on the upper Manoa road
with success and now the rest of the
valley will have a chance.
The road department is working on
the upper Malioa road placing that well
used thoroughfare in proper shape after
more than a years neglect, due to the
last administration s failure to com
plete its work.

A Pleasant Trip to euachita.

As the rain Saturday prevented the
9th and 9TH grades from picnicing at
Ouachita as had been planned, it was
not until Wednesday that they had
their holiday.
A little after 8 O'Clock they were
nearly all at the junction near Lovers
Bridge and waiting for the train.
The ride out was delightful. The
morning was spent in exploring the
mines and inspecting the large Brick
plant that is still in the course of
erection.
The brick plant will be running by
July Ist, and will manufacture fire
brick and building-brick. 1t is
nearly twice as large as the one in
Versailles, and when completed will
be one Of the largest in Missouri.
The mines produce coal of excel
lent quality, and it will be used by
the plant. The clay is splendid, and
the bricks produced will be of high
class.
Mr.. Tate and Mr.. Bradford kindly
explained everything, and did all in
their power (Which was great deal)
to make the day a pleasant one.
The dinner was spread on pile Of
lumber and was greatly enjoyed by
everyone.
In the afternoon boating and fish
ing occupied the girls, while the boys
went swimming.
At half past five they started for
home, and a more hungry, happy,
sunburned crowd was never seen.
They had most enjoyable day, and
there is not one of them who do not

Purpose'oi the Playground
Movement.

AS play seems to be the only meth
cd of physical development for the
city child, are we not bound to pro-
vide every facility for play? The
city street is no proper playground.
1t is unlawful to obstruct the
thoroughfare with ball games, mar
bles, etc, yet where is boy to go if
no adequate place is provided3 Play
is necessity, not luxury. TO my
mind schoolhouse for the mind
without playground for the body is
a folly.
The fundamental idea of the play
ground movement is that educational
play conduces to character-building
and through that to good citizenship.
The first-the main object of the
playground is to keep children off the
street, then to guide their energies in
healthy direction, to develop them
physically and strengthen them NOR
ally-above all to have them taught
fair play in their games. They learn
self-control, respect for others, to be
thoughtful, unselfsh and kind los
Angeles Examiner.
Don't you believe that play
ground, either in CONNECTION with our
school, or separate park, is neces-
sity for Versailles? The city is rich
enough to afford it, and cannot afford
to longer do without it. The quest
ion then is, what are you going tC
do about it?

R. ]. Rawlings Killed.

R. ]. Rawlings, a prominent citi-
zen of Memphis, Tenn, was killed
Saturday in street car collision with
street paving machine. Mr.. Raw
lings was director in the Ouachita
Clay & Coal Products Co., of this
city, and was here few weeks ago to
attend meeting of the directors and
inspect their property. He made
many friends here during his short
visits who will regret to hear of his
untimely death. We copy the follow
ing from the News Scimatar, of Mem
phis:
Richard J. Rawlings was about IS
years of age, and has been one of the
most prominent men in Shelby county
for many years. He is a lineal des-
cendant of Col. John Donaldson, the
North Carolinian who discovered the
Cumberland river and founded the
City of Nashville.
At the outbreak OF the war Mr..
Rawlings enlisted in the Confederate
army under Gen. N. B. Forest, ser
wing in the company with James E..
Beasely and other prominent Mem
phians, and made a record for in
trepid and conscientious work.
Returning from the war, Mr.. Raw
hngs established himself in business,
Morgan County republican. (Versailles, Mo.) 1906-1914, 1909-05-20

and was married to Miss Veunable,
who, with his daughter and sons, sur
vive him.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. Raw
lings removed to the suburbs, after
wards Incorporated as Lenox, and
served as mayor of that town for two
terms. He always took strong in
terest in political matters, and was
prominent in all city, county and state
campaigns.
For some years Mr.. Rawlings was
associated as a member of the real
estate firm of w. X. Burton & Co.,
and was also a leading member o
the City Club of Memphis, before
which he has rendered important ser.
vice in the investigation of importan
public matters.

Basket Ball Game.

The Versailles Girls Basket Ball
team went to California last Saturday
to play game with the California
team.
The Versailles team was met at the
station by the California team and
taken to their homes where they were
royalty entertained.
The game was called at $500
O'Clock, and it proved very close
game. At the end of the first half
the score stood 7 to 8 in favor of
Versailles. In the second half it was
a tie at 7, 8 and 8, but California
made'a goal just at the last making

faces the park it makes an ideal
location for a hospital. The sani-
tarium will contain IS beds. This
is an enterprise which should receive
encouragement. We now have
several splendid hostelrys for the well
and the ailing, but this is the first of
the kind for the sick, and it will fill a
long felt need.-Sulphur Springs
(Ark. } Star.
This is the kind of an enterprise
that helps build up city, and while
there is probably no great income in
dollars and cents from such an institu-
ton, yet it many times saves life and
alieviates suffering. Versailles should
have such an institution, and with
the splendid corps of physicians we
have there would be no necessity for
sending the sick, suffering and afflict-
ed to St. Louis or Kansas City, thus
saving the long, tedious and expen-
sive journey. Why not our doctors
get together and have fitted up san
iiarium or hospital on small scale
for present needs?
