MOTHERS CLUB OF ELMwooD

The first open meeting of the
Mothers Club of ElmwoOd Semi
nary, composed of mothers and
teachers, was held in the chapel at
Elmwood last Friday afternoon,
Miss Maud Montgomery presiding.
The regular routine was gone over,
and Miss Beeson was introduced as
the speaker of the day. with tho sub
iect Life and Its Living" There
was II very attentive and interested
audience to listen to Miss Beeson
as she began her talk on the ideal
life, drawing from the old poets for
the characters eulogized for their
purity of purpose and high ideals of
life. Coming on down to the pres
ent age, there was much good adj
vice given for the early training
and dicipline of the children before
they enter the schools, for If they
were taught obedience and respect
for law at home, IL made their
school life easier for both pupil and
teacher. Miss Beeson drew many
instances from her long career as a
teacher to illustrate her points, and
in the discussion that followed,
many beautiful points were empha-
sized and many good thoughts were
presented that will undoubtedly be
productive of an uplifting In the
daily walks of life. Mrs. VIM.
Court will be the speaker In Febru-
ary.

which the Bonne Terre News, Mr..
LaChance's paper, passed into new
hands, and Hebcr Nations, son Of

to see his political party discom-
fiIted, we wish him the largest per-
sonal success.

THE PASSING OF 4 PIONEER.

The death OF Mr.. Josiah Horn, at
his home in Pennington, on Sunday
morning Jan. l6, removes another
honored landmark from among us.
His death was not unexpected for
he had been In feeble health for
many months. "Uncle Joe" as he
was familiarly called by almost
everybody, was born in Ste, Gene
We've county, Mo. on Dec. 10, 1921.
He was married to Miss Jane
Sutherland on May %, 1874. He
was the father OF ten children, six
of whom are now living, namely,
Drs. Andy and Joe and George and
Charley Horn, also Mrs. Sebastian
and Mrs. Van Sickle. For about
thirty wears he was resident of
Pennington. Soon after coming to
Pennington, his wife having died,
he was married to Miss Margaret
Hibhits, who survives him.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist Church Monday at II
O'Clock, from whence his body was
laid In the grave by that Of his first
wife, in the Perkins Grave Yard
some three miles northeast of Farm.
ington. Some weeks before his
death Mr.. Horn reques ted that Rev
Carter Martin, life long friend
should assist the pastor in the fu-
neral services. He also selected tn,
text for his funeral discourse: Lei
not your hearts be troubled: We be
| licvc in God, believe also in me. In
my Fathers house are many man.
sions: if 1t were not so, I woulC
have told you; for go to prepare &
place for YOU" and also wrote out
| the facts of his life which he de
sired read at the funeral.
Brother Horn was kind, good
patient man. He was faithful fol
lower of Jesus Christ for sixty
seven years, and for twenty-five %
those years was the clerk of hi.
Church. He was sustained by per
sOnsal faith IN Jesus Christ through
many trials. He loved the GOspe
and tried to live it in his daily life
Christ wns his hope and 10y in thu
infrmities of old age. We shal
miss him, but his memory shall b,
precious to us, He rests from hi
labors and his works follow with hin
as u permanent benediction.

In mentioning last week the little
fire at Mrs. Naive's residence we
said that "when the fire hose ar
rived il was discovered that they
were frozen up with water that had
been left in them" This was n mis-
take, tho result of misunderstand-
ing of our informant, as the writer
OF the item was not at the fire, but
away from home at the time 1t oc-
Cured. When the roof was first dis
covered to be on fire, and before the
hose of the city Fire Department
arrived on the grounds, an attempt
was made to turn lawn water hose
on the blaze. IL was this hose In
which water had been left and was
frozen. The fire was extinguished
before the Fire Department hose
reached the scene, and they were In
perfect working order, but it was
not necessary to use them. Care is
taken by our Fire Department to
keep everything pertaining to it in
the best shape and readiness, and its
efficiency in fighting fires has been
thoroughly demonstrated. We feel
that this correction of an uninten-
tional mistake is due It, as well as
to reassure the public OF it's eff
cheney and readiness at all times.
