TO INVITE MAYOR
TO MAKE SPEECH
souTHsIDE DEMOCRATIC CLUB
IS PREPARING TO HAVE
BIG RALLY.

With the municipal primary draw
ing near many of the voters of South
Richmond have expressed themselves
as being in favor of calling a special
meeting OF the Southside Democratic
Club, and extending an invitation to
all of the candidates who stand for
election to the City Council from
the northern part Of the new Madison
ward to be present and address the
meeting.
While some OF the candidates are
are others who are unknown to the
voters of the Southside.
When the political bee began to
buzz in South Richmond some weeks
ago. and the rumor was spread broad
cast to the effect that at least eight
candidates would be In the field from
this side OF the river many Of the
people thought that with that num.
Der in the field they stood little chance
of getting representation against the
overwhelming odds on the north side
OF the James river.
When the eDmocratic Club selected
two, and then one more announced
himself. the people OF the Southside
were relieved Mt seeing che small
number enter the race.
There are now eight candidates on
the north side OF Madison and three
on the south side. With the north
side having only twice as many quail
fled voters in IL as the south side, the
people OF South Richmond feel quite
sure that they will get at least two
OF the five candidates that will be
elected
When the meeting Is called an In
vitation Will also be sent TO Mayor
David c. Richardson. Though hav-
ing made several speeches at BAN
quets given by fraternal organixa-
tons, he has never addressed the peo-
pie of South Richmond in a public
meeting. The voters wants the meet
ing called as soon as poaslhIe.

THE NEW FAIR PRESIDENT.

The election OF Martin l.. Clardy,
Jr., by the Board of Directors of the
Southeast Missouri Fair Associa-
ton (the Pennington Fair, as presi-
dent Of the association, will meet
with general approval. Mr.. Clardy
is an active young stockmau and
conducts one of the best stock farms
and one Of the finest stables Of
horses In this section of the State,
and he will take pride In all per.
tanning to the fair. But in accept
ing the position, we understand that
Mr.. Clardy has said that he will
not enter his standard and thor
oughbred horses for orpremiums while
President, because of some criticism
that has besn heretofore made that
officers of the association have been
favored in the matter of awarding
premiums, etc. and he thinks It will
be to the best interest of the fair for
him not to enter his horses for
premiums. The sentiment does him
credit, but probably he places too
much stress on this matter. No one
questions that some of his horses
are hard to beat, but may not that
very fact arouse the ambition of
other horse fanciers to try to over
top him, and be the means of bring
ing other fine stock here rather than
keeping 1t away; and that Is one Of
the objects of the fair. AS to the
favoritism ofjudges towards officers
Of the association that is probably
more imaginary than real; in fact,
we are almost sure 1t is. II would
be n disappointment to many If
MIR. Clardy's thoroughbrcds were
not entered in some OF the fings.

KRoEGER PIANO CONCERT.

Last Monday evening the people
of Pennington had the rare pleasure
of listening to one of America Is
best musicians, Mr. T.. Il. Kroeger
of St. Louis, and those who were
present, the weather preventing
many from attending the concert,
were carried away with the excel,
lent Interpretation Of his numbers
Mr.. Kroeger played the most diff.
flcuit selections with such ease that
his audience wondered how he could
do IL. His technique was perfect
and the tone coloring which he gave
to his numbers delighted his audi
ence beyond measure. 1t is to be
regretted that 50 many of our peo-
ple failed to hear him play, for it is
seldom that such musician visits
this vicinity. Surely, those who
attended were well repaid for bray
ing the severe weather.
Mr.. Kroeger is of international
fame, not only as a pianist and COM
poser, but as teacher as well.

SAD DEATH AT BLACKWELL
OF MILTON HAWKINS
Dies in Blizzard on His Way Eome
From Store in Evening.

Mr.. Milton Hawkins, Il well known
and most highly respected citizen of
Blackwell, this county, was found
dead last Saturday night, between
seven and eight o O'Clock, by his SON
in-law, MIR. l.. F.. Cole, in n path
leading up the hill from the latter's
home TO Mr.. Hawkins residence,
about midway between the two
homes. Mr.. Hawkins left his store
at six O'Clock and stopped in at his
son-in-iaw's, about hundred yards
from the store, and shortly after
left there for his own home, about
two hundred yards farther on up
the hill. Shortly after seven O'Clock
MIR. Hawkins sister, who was keep
ing house for him, phoned down to
Mrs. Cole and asked If her father
were there--that he had not yet
come home. Mrs. Cole answered
that he had left there about an hour
before. Alarmed over the intelli-
gence that he had not reached home.
Mr.. Cole started out at once taking
the path by which Mr.. Hawkins had
gone, and about half way found him
lying on his back, with his feet in
path, and with his cap aud gloves
on. He was dead when found.
Mr.. Hawkins had been afflicted
with some sort of heart trouble for
a time but had never told any of his
family about 1t. 1t was known only
to his friend and physician, DR..
John Butler of Blackwell. It IL
probable that the eXertion of breast
ing the snow-storm and climbing the
hill brought on sudden attack of
heart failure, and that while uncon-
scious he perished from cold, or IL
may be that the stroke itself was fa-
tai.
Mr., Hawkins was son of the late
Augustus and Elizabeth (Pinsonl
Hawkins, and was born In 1919 in
Washington county. In 1876 he and
an older brother, the late Newton
Hawkins, opened general mer-
chandse store at Blackwell, and af-
ter his brothers. death he continued
to carry on the business up to the
time Of his sad and sudden demise. In
1881 lie married Miss Katie McCor.
mick, who died about eight months
ago. They had but one child, q
daughter, Mrs. l.. E. Cole, who
with several brothers and sisters
survive him, and to whom the sym
pathy of many friends Is extended
in their sorrowful bereavement.
Mr.. Hawkins was a man of ster-
ling character, genial nature, popu-
lar among his friends and one of St.
Francois county's best citizens
DR.. English, County Coroner, wns
notified, and went to Blackwell Sun
day and held an inquest over the
body.

ZERO WEATHER SUNDAY
FROM 10 TO go BELOW

Last Saturday morning our peo-
pie awoke to find the ground covered
with snow. 1t continued To snow
all day with a cold wind, and Sun
day mording the mercury registered
from 10 to 20 below zero, according
to the location OF thermometers and
their different degrees OF exposure.
Thermometers on the north side Of
buildings in the business district of
the town registered as low as 20; in
one or two localities reports of II
and - are made, and In several
places IL and Is. The lowest re-
ported ut any place was ten. These
differences may partly be attributed
to the thermometers. In st. Louis
the papers report II below at 9 n. III.
Sunday. The cold wave extended
over all parts o. the country, the
mercury in many places registering
between 30 and 40 below, aud much
suffering resulted.
The weather was the coldest we
have experienced here at Farming
ton since 1899, when the mercury
went down to 26 below. on January
%, 1905, 1t was 10 below, and on Feb
ruary 10 of the same year the mer-
curry crawled lower down, making a
record of IL below.
January, 1909, had a most curious
record. On the 9TH It was below
zero. On the 18th we had the big
gest snow storm recorded for many
years. On the 23d it was so pleas
ant that doors and windows could be
opened and fires lowered consider
ably. Then on the 2Sth we had a
most terrible blizzard with the mer-
curry below zero and a terrific gale
for about 90 hours.
The record for Janury 3, 1910 and
1911 is just about the same--zero
weather.
