DEATH CLAIMS A
FAvoRITE YOUNG MAN.

Laken Dubart Walker, son OF the
late Laken ID. and Mrs. Susan
Walker, after protracted and vast
ing Illness passed from earth life
on last Friday morning, December
3lst, 1909, at half past two O'Clock.
The funeral services were held on
Saturday, January lst, 1910, and
were conducted by Rev. G. T.. Hic-
kok OF the Presbyterian Church; in
terment at the Masonic Cemetery.
There are few young men who
were loved as well and so generally
as Bart. The numerous and hand
some tributes OF flowers, the great
number of neighbors and friends
present at the services manifest the
esteem in which he was held, and
the sympathy of the entire com
munity for the sorrOwing young
wife and mother. In addition to
these, of his immediate relatives,
he leaves an infant daughter.
Laken Dubart Walker was born
March 9TH, 1852. He united with
the Presbyterian Church on FEBRUARY
18th, 1893. He was united In mar
riage to Miss Florence Swink,
daughter of Judge f. L. Swink, a
little more than two years ago--on
September II, 1907.
These simple data of his life, how
ever, do not tell of his lovable char
actcr that drew to himself so large a
circle of friends and invited so much
of promise and good In the years
to come. Whatever other assets
there may be In life, those of true
friendship are among the highest
and best; these Bart had In marked
degree. Always lovingly consider
ate and dutiful, the memory of him
will bring subdued, chastened
pleasure to the sorrowing mother
and young wife-the only pain, the
separation and the emptiness-oh,
how empty!-of life without him.

HELD ON A CHARGE OF
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.

The preliminary examination Of
Arthur Pruitt, charged by affidavit
with murder in the first degree for
the killing Of Claude Mitchell on
Christmas Eve at Tavlor town, was
held by Justices Il. NJ Fraser and
J. d. Vance at Flat River last Mon
day, and resulted in the two JUS
tccs, sitting jointly, binding pruitt
over and refusing to allow him to
give bail. The fact that the defend
ant was refused bail Is tatamount
to a charge Of murder in the first
degree.
The evidence on the part of the
State tended to prove that Pruitt
and Mitchell had some words about
Miss Gertrude Williams, and about
five O'Clock p, m. they met near
Buckley d Haile's store and Nit
chell proceeded TO give Pruitt Sc
we're and also a bloody and very
painful clicking" using on him
brass knucks. After this trouble
Pruitt Immediately went to his home,
which was only short distance, got
his revolver and came back out of
the house and saw Mitchell and the
Williams girl coming down on the
opposite side Of the street. He went
across to them, and with his pistol
In his right hand, "bantered" Nit
chell for n fair fight, saying "lf
you'll lay off your knucks I'll put
my pistol down. Mitchell did not
agree to this, but advanced and the
two cliuched, when Pruitt fired two
shots, one striking Mitchell in the
mouth and the other in the side,
either of which would have pro-
duced death.
The evidence of the defense tended
to establish the same facts as to the
first encounter but differed as TO
the second from the States side,
showing that when Pruitt offered to
fight fair fight, Mitchell advanced
with rush and violent oath, and
felled Pruitt to his knees, using the
knucks again, and as Pruitt raised
Mitchell showored blows upon his
head, when Pruitt, believing his
life to be in great danger, fred the
two shots.
While the justices did not grant
Pruitt bail, II seems to be the con-
census OF the opinion of many of
the substantial citizens who heard
the evidence, that the State cannot
at best sustain the charge.of murder
against Pruitt, whose reputation
therefore, has been excellent.

HOME TALENT PLAY.
The "St. Francois County Fair" to
be Given at the Opera House
Friday Night, Jan. ID.

The Ladies', Aid of the Presby
terian Church will produce a home
talent play entitled "The st. Fran
co.'s County Fair" written by An
ME Sara Book, West Virginian,
who has made the drilling and pro-
ducing u specially. This home tai
ent play, 1.-THE st. Francois County
Fair" has been her biggest and
most successful. Wherever it has
been given 1t has been an immense
success, as it no doubt will be In
Pennington. The plan and plot of
this play is very simple-nothing
but County Fair scene with all
manner OF people coming to the fair.
1t will be a real picture OF the real
old time County Fair, with displays
innumerable OF rich, yellow pump
kins, big potatoes, immense
squashes, monstrous ears Of yellow
corn, red apples and any and every
kind of fruit and vegetables raised
by the farmers of the county. Not
only will there be displays of these
farm products, but the needlework
machinery and handiwork of the
thrifty inhabitants of the county
will also occupy conspicuous
apace.
While the displays above described
are always looked for at the County
Fair, yet the real interest Of this
particular st. Francois County Fair
is in the dialogue of the visitors nt
the fair aud in the musical numbers
to be presented. As the scene opens
the loud nOuthed fakirs, lemonade
man, side show man, balloon man,
etc, will almost deafcn you with
their mighty yells. Then follows a
quick succession of farmers, old
maids, school boys, jockeys, preach
ers, bride and groom, gold brick
men, city visitors and all the char
acters one can possibly imagine at n
county fair, each with an appropri-
ate dialogue and conversation. All
these dialogues are of the most
humorous nature aud have a life and
spirit to them that couvulses and
amuses even the most staid audi
), ence.
But after all, no amateur enter.
tainment at this day and age can be
Il success without plenty of good
lively up-to-date music, and we will
have 1t IN the County Fair. One Of
the big musical features is n Teddy
Bear chorus by 200 little girls be-
tween the ages OF three and nine.
It's one Of the prettiest and cutest
ever. There will he another chill
dren's chorus ana six young men
and young ladies' choruses. All
of these are the latest catchiest song
productions and are presented in a
| beautiful, attractive manner. The
Ladies' Aid have decided to produce
this entertainment at the Opera
House Friday night, January IA.
The committees have been ap-
pointed for the various departments
of the preliminary work. The best
talent Of the city will be invited and
there can be no doubt of the fair be-
ing rousing success, as our talent
we believe, is equal to the occasion.
