A BIG BASS.

Among the visitors from abroad
that are being entertained at Brew
ers Lake this week are Rev. Hickok
and George Grover of Pennington
and Hon. f.. w. Stephens Of Column
bia. Reports from there say that
Rev Hickok is the champion If size
is considered. He caught n bass
that weighed six pounds. BY the
time Rev. Hickok gets home it may
weigh several pounds more. -
Charleston Enterprise.
Rev. Hickok says he believes the
bass weighed more than six pounds
but he didn't want to exaggarate
and cause people to accuse him Of
telling a Fish story"

SLOW TO TAKE HOLD.

Mr.. Gibony Houck, president OF
the Saline Valley railroad, was
here all last week trying to interest
our people In the eXtentiOn of his
road from Coffman to Pennington
and to place some OF the first mort
gage bonds of his road In the hands
of Pennington people. We under
stand that he did not meet with
much encouragement and success
in the latter proposition, although
our people are not unmindful of the
advantages that such n road would
be to our town, and 1t has been in
timated to us that he may change
his present proposed plans on ac-
count OF the aloofness of Farming
ton. One of his objects in wishing
to come here, we understand, was
to get into connection with the Lead
Belt over the st, Francois County
Electric railroad, and thus bring
that great industrial section into
closer trade relations with the big
coal fields of Illinois over his line.
1t has been intimated to us that he
may try to make this connection
through junction with the Illinois
Southern, which would leave Farm
ington out of the calculation alto
gcther. That would not he good for
our town, and it is to be noped that
something may be done that will
insure the road coming To Farming
