ing where they will have charge
of the new hub mill to be built at
that place. Mr.. Whites family
will follow in about two weeks.
Mr.. Mckenzie was an earnest
worker in the church affairs and
he will be missed by the Christian
people. Mr.. White was one of the
best and most popular foremen
the plant aver had, and they both
leave many friends here who wish
them succe wherever they may
go.-Ellington Press.
Well, September is here, and
there is comfort in rolling it from
the tongue. The Summer King
may give us a spiteful parting
scorch, or several OF them, but his
face is from us and go he must,
will he, mill he. He's a mighty
good friend-though a little ardent
at times, and his salute burns like
that of the traditional baboon
who ''kissed the monkeys sister
kissed so hard he raised a blister"
Nevertheless, Winters cold en-
brace, by contrast, will again in
duce him cordial welcome a few
months hence from the grumblers
now.
Charles Robertson, dispatcher

j. M. Elvins of Doe Run was in
town this week and while here vas
exhibiting to his friends a couple
of samples of lead ore taken from
some mining property n which he
is interested near Des Arc in Iron
county. The samples are as good
as can be found in any mine in
the state, and Mr.. Elvins is of the
opinion that the time is not far
distant when lead mines as rich as
any to be found in St. Francois
county will be operated in the Des
Arc district. An effort is now
being made to organize a compa-
ny to develop the property. 1t is
the intention of those interested
in the proposition to sell stock to
as many practical miners as pos
sible, SO that in addition to their
regular wages the men who do
the actual work will also share in
the dividends.-ElUins Labor Herald.
On and after next Monday the
smoking of cigarettes by minors
in public places subjects you to
fine or Imprisonment. The same
punishment may overtake those
who provide minors with the ma
terials for the ''cofin nails" But,
good law as this is, tits far behind
the exigencies of the situation.
For the cigarette has established
itself in the rural home, and putty
faced boys and young mon are
taking the places of pippin-faced
clear-eyed lads of a generation
ago. For Gods sake, boys, can
you find no better exemplers than
the Thaws and Barringtons and
city dudes who, if they do poison
themselves, won't be missed?
Your best girl should not tolerate
you. Sinking of !tobacco and ema-
nations from your lungs. You
are a nuisance to all normal hui
mankind. That's all there is to it.
-Charleston Courier.
That there is good money in
fruit and truck growing in South
east Missouri goes with the saying.
Intelligent labor on small farms
pays always, and this year is no
exception to the rule. Exchanges
from all sections of South Missouri
are iubilant over the yields. AS
an instance I take this from the
Campbell (Dunklin county, Citi-
zen: "The fruit and vegetable
shipments are about owe for this
season. Growers are we'll pleased
with the yield, the quality and
the prices. Forty car loads were
shipped from Campbell by freight
and several hundred baskets and
crates sent by express. There
were eight a loads of potatoes,
nine of peaches, ten of melons and
seventeen of cantaloupes, all sent
over the Frisco. The express also
was carried by the Frisco people.
!. Growing of cantaloupes and
peaches for shipment is a new
movement by our farmers, and the
result is SO lattering we look for a
big acreage next year. Ii the
truck growers will try tomatoes in
quantities sufficient for car load
shipments they will find it to be
as renumerative as any crop
grown in this country"
It was long ago declared on the
highest authority that no man
liveth unto himself and no man
dieth unto himself; and the Leg
islature of Missouri made practi-
cal recognition of this truth during
it's recent session by passing an
act providing for the registration
of births and by local registrars
in each city and town throughout
the state, and in rural registration
