WILL REMAIN A CITI-
ZEN OF FARMINGTON

Mr.. J. b. Allen, who recently
bought stock of merchandise at
Fulton, was here this week packing
and storing his furniture. When he
first bought the stock of goods at
Fulton and ordered The Times sent
to him there, we thought and said
that he would make that city his
home; but Mr. Allen tells us that
we were mistaken in that. He ex-
poets to remain citizen of our town
and will return here ia the fall and
either build or buy property. He
owns two well stocked farms lust
over the line in Ste. Genevieve
county, which he has n superintend-
ent looking after, aud he seems to
think that Pennington is good
place to make his home. We are
g,ad to hear this, for Mr.. Allen is
the sort Of man that helps town.

The Times Ruralist contest, with
prizes of automobile, motorcycle,
piano and diamond ring, is off so far
as this county is concerned, us no
one seemed disposed to take hold of
1t, and it is now too late for any one
To take 1t up aud have an equal show
OF winning one of the prizes with
the contestants in other counties,
as the awards will be made June II,
only three weeks away. Tho pro.
position was liberal one, for any
active solicitor, Offering two good
papers for the price of one and re.
ceiving 20 per cent commission, at
which he ought to have been able to
make good wages, could in cour-
ty the size of this have secured
enough subscriptions aud renewals
to have won one of the prizes. But
he could hardly do it now, there be.
ing only three weeks left for him
to work mt it. However, we will
make this proposition. We will
furnish The Times and the Mis-
souri, Ruralist, one of the best agri-
cultural papers published for Mis-
souri, farmers, for Sl.0O year for
the two papers in clubs of from three
20 five for limited time.

Berg, of East Ninth street, written by Eddie Gonzalez from Berlin. Gonzalez left Tucson about the first of December to take Friedmann's treatment and he claims to be getting we'll
 People who knew Gonzalez when he was in Tucson say that he was very bad when he left. When they did not hear from him they supposed that he had died on the way over. A letter was received last week from him in which he says that he has taken a number of treatments from Dr. Friedmann and is now almost cured of his malady. He has a great deal of admiration for the German physician and says that the treat ment did not cost him more than s25. It is said that Gonzalez did not have much money. not much more than sufficient to take him to Germany and to procure the treatment and that he staked all he had left on the success of the treatment although it had not then attained the publicity it since has.
