Is THERE TO BE A NEW
PUBLICAN PAPEh

Former Editor 7. 7. Pigg, who
sold ont his paper, The Farming.
ton News, about ten years ago to
its present publishers, and who
subsequently severed his connec-
ton with the Pennington Tele.
phone Company, has been living
quietly on his snug little farm,
eating the good things OF the land,
sleeping aud dreaming-dreamlng
of his old love, the newspaper,
which has never lost its fascination
to him. In his dreams it has been
reckoning, reckoning to him, with
enticing smiles and amOrous eyes.
to come TO its fond embrace. The
temptation of one of his ardor to
again embark in the newspaper
business is like the call of a lost
dove to its mate, ever drawing him
closer and closer to the voice OF
woOng.
But when, ten years ago, Mr.
Pigg parted with the plant and
good will of the News, he made 4
verbal promise to Messrs. Denmar
that he would not again engage ii
the newspaper business in st. Fran
co.'s county as long rs they published
a Republican paper. 1t was like
willing away his birthright, for il
hampered in a measure his future
actions, aud being n man of con
scentious scruples he has wrestleG
often between these scruples ana
the longing that has come back tC
him to mount anew the editorial
tripod. Mr. Pigg is a member OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church al
are also the Messrs. Denman, but
for some cause since the congrega
ton moved into their splendid new
edifice he has absented himself
from worship there. He doubtless
has his reasons for this, and it is
not for us to question them. When
the church was being erected MIR.
Pigg was assessed $3.50 90 as his
share in the construction. This
was more than he thought he was
able to 1.-THE, and he offered the com.
mittee $500, which was refused.

BEAUTIFUL YARD CONTEST
communicated


In the hearts of many people liv-
ing In this community there is great
desire for beautiful surroundings.
This is not strange, since God has
richly endowed this country with
wealth, both surface and under
ground, and the people living here
have the power within themselves
to bring ideal conditions.
After n day spent in st. Louis, one
returns to st. Francois county feel
| ing that there is a Wilderness about
the sunshine which Is as striking as
| the glow Of an are light when com
pared with an ordinary coal oil flame.
The air is fresh and pure here and
nature invites closer communion
with her "visible FORMS
Seeing immense possibilities in
civic Improvement, the Lead Belt
Mission Board has planned for "A
very interesting contest to be held
between the different mining towns
and settlements.
A loving cup will be offered for
the largest number Of beautiful
yards in any one town, and the town
to which the cup is awarded may
keep il until next season, when the
contest will again be held, and 30 on
from year to year. This cup will be
exhibited in the different towns dur
ing the remaining weeks OF winter
and those interested in beautiful
yards will use their influence in Sc
curing this cup for their own home
town.
Rev. A. S. Cocker Of Flat River is
to supervise this contest. MIR.
Cocker has received many compli-
ments because Of the good work
which he has done along this line,
and the church and parsonage yard
last season was great inspiration
to the whole community.
Individual prizes will be offered to
those In each town having the pref
test yards, as follows; First prize
Of $780, second prize Of 800; third
prize of&.00.
The supervisor Of this contest be-
tween individuals will be local
chairman, at each place in the Lead
Belt, and will furnish information
about the contest, and the names of
judges and chairman with their com
will be announced very
soon.
Only sections OF towns will he
taken where civic improvement is
already n fact. Since Bonnie Terre
is so well improved, only such sec
tions as East Bonnie Terrc, Settle
town and Moontown will be per-
mitted to enter this contest.

NATIONALS" NEW HOSPITAL
Communicated

N'''ihiHH'NhA'hL
The st. Louis Smelling and Rein.
ing Co. (NationaU have just com.
pleted and opened an up-to-date hos.
pital for the benefit OF their work
men who are unfortunate enough to
get hurt while in the company's en-
ploy. This is something the physi.
clans of the Lead Belt have long felt
the need Of, and much has been said
about something Of the kind, but
none of the companies seemed dis
posed to go to the expense and
trouble of establishing an institu-
ton that would meet the demand,
until Mr.. McChcsney Of the INA
tional' took the matter up in ear
nest, believing that in some cases
of severe injury life might be
saved by having place at hand so
that an operation could be immedi-
ately performed instead OF the nee
essary delay and prolonged shock
in taking the patient to st. Louis as
has been necessary Ia the past.
With this idea in view plans and
specifications were drawn and the
contract let for the erection of the
building, which was begun about
September first, and work was
rushed to have it ready for the New
Year, which was duly accomplished,
but portion Of the equipment, de-
layed in shipment, did not arrive
until the 18th. Everything is now
in place and in first class style for
the care OF patients, but it is hoped
that it will be II long while before
the accident occurs to furnish the
first patient.
1t is not contemplated to care for
any one outside of this company's
own patients; to admit others would
require more room. The building
has two wards, with two beds in
each, but capable of holding four
operating room fitted up with all
appliances and instruments for
any kind of an operation, dressing
room, bath room, nurses room,
with both hot and cold water
throughout. The basement has fur
mace and hot water tank with jan.
itor quarters. Building and equip.
ment will represent an outlay OF
probably 5000 or $1,000, and is
something this enterprising com.
pany may well feel proud Of, and
something the workmen should APP
preciate. DR.. G.. w. Williams il

The Dpsloge sun and the Filing
ton Press have gotten crossways
thus early in the campaign over
their different views as to who
would he the better man for the
Democratic nomination for Con e
gress in this district, and are eX-
pressing their opinions OF each
other in "A spirit not altogether en-
tente cordiale. We suggest to our
esteemed contemporaries TINT an et-
fort is being made just now to
bring about condition OF feeling
and unity in the party, which rs
very necessary if we would enter
the approaching campaign with
any hone of success, and that that
sort of thing is not conducive to
such condition. We hope they
will not imagiue that we have any
disposition to censor them. We
know how hard it is, when ones
individual preference and Judg.
ment as to the fitness or desirable
itv of this or that asplrant for
nomination to some Office are ques'
toned and referred to in words not
altogether conciliatory, not to re-
tort in kind; but long experience
has taught us that little real sat
isfaction comes from such tart ex-
changes, less good and often trlc'
ton and anragonism that hamper
the party in the only fight worth
while-that against OR political
opponents. Our good friends, the
Sun and the Press, might be dis
posed to inquire if we have always
followed this wise philosophy and
we would have to answer to our
regret that we have not, but we
have seen the uselessness, folly |
and harm resulting from its abuse.
Come, brethren, let's get together;
we have fight before us in this
district and this State with the
real enemy that is worth our best
attention and efforts.
