when her daughter, Mrs. Blemel, now
Mrs. Richardson, was a resident of
this place. To the bereaved we ex-
tend Dur sympathy.
1t seems that the bill passed by both
houses of the Legislature doing away
with county resident hunters license
did not become a law. A copy of the
new law just received provides that a
license is necessary to hunt in your
county. The new law gives the fol-
lowing dates Is the open season on
game. Deer, November LIST to Deem
Der 31st: Wild Turkey, November LIST
to December 31st. Squirrel, July LIST
to November Both. Quail, December
LIST to December 31st. Ducks, geese,
brant etc., September 18th to April
Both. Doves, September LIST to De-
cember 31st. 1t will be seen from the
above that the open season on quail
has been shortened a month; on squir-
rel % days.

The Lead Belt News, the strong
Democratic Newspaper of Flat River
wal sold this week to George Stanfll
and Don Cameron. Mr.. Stanfll is we'll
known to the newspaper fraternity
and is widely known in st. Francois
county. He has been in the insurance
since he left the desk at the Register
office more than two years ago. When
the Orr bill dealt the solar plexus
blow to the insurance business Mr..
Stanfill began to look around for
something that would be useful en-
ployment for his spare moments. His
first love, the newspaper game, held
forth in an alluring bait in the Lead
Belt News owned by O. R. Pratte. Mr..
Cameron has edited the Mining Her
aid for a unmbhr of years. The News
has been a strong force in Democratic
politics and has had a checkered ca
reer lately; Melbourne Smith, VIM.

DR.. W. R. Goodykoontz, of Gale
donia, spent over Sunday here with
his daughter, Mrs. Thos. H. Holman
and family. The News Office ac-
knowledges a pleasant call from the
Doctor on Monday. He tells us that
he understands their rural telephone
company which has a large number OF
subscribers throughout the Belleview
valley will be unable after July LIST to
secure direct connection with the Iron
Mountain railway company at Iron
dale and Iron Mountain, their nearest
shipping points, as the public utilities
commission will not permit public
utility companies after that date to
furnish free services of any kind to
any body. All along the company
