MAKES ACTIVE
MOVE FOR GOOD ROADS
Large Delegation of Her Prominent
Citizens Motored Over Tuesday
to Wait on County Court.

Last Tuesday morning seven au-
tomobiles from the thriving, wide
awake town OF Bismarck rolled into
Pennington, filled with the public.
spirited, progressive citizens of that
town and vicinity to the number of
thirty-four, to solicit the interest
and aid OF the County Court In the
Improvement of an important
stretch of road between the bridge
over st. Francois river on the Bis
marck and Iron Mountain road to
the Gravel road between Farming
ton and Iron Mountain. This
stretch Of road is about "a miles in
length; between the bridge and Bis.
mark the road is In good condition.
The Improvement Of this piece of
road would make travel easy and
pleasant between Bismarck and
Pennington and Bismarck and Iron
mountain, and be great convent
ence to the public generally.
Ii is estimated that the cost of
grading, rocking and graveling this
connecting link with the road from
Arcadia to Pennington, Flat River,
Bonne Terre, DeSoto and st. Louis,
Will aggregate only about $1,000 Dr.
j. l.. Eaton of Bismarck aud Mr..
w. II. Smollinger OF Iron Mountain
addressed the court, presenting in u
manner not only the
desirability but the Importance and
convenience to the public of putting
in first class condition this short
gap connecting Bismarck with the
other good roads of the county,
thus carrying out the courts gen
eral policy of permanent good road
throughout the county. |
The court was very favorably Inn
with the proposition as pre-
sented by the spokesmen of the |
delegation, and while no definite ac. |
tion was taken, 1t Is understood that |
before adjournment the court will |
make an order instructing County |
Engineer Holman to look |
over the road, make an estimate of |
the cost and report. There is little |
Or no doubt that an appropriation

pert swimmer, having sported with

and his own head just above water,
he tried to lift Huff's, head above
the water, but was so exhausted
that he could not do this, and held

MRS. SARAH 4. KoEN.

Mrs. Sarah f.. Koen, widow of
the late A. ID. Koen, passed into the
rest eternal July 4th, 1913, at the
home Of her daughter, Mrs. j. II.
Tetley, at Flat River, aged Il years,
months and 10 days.
Mrs, Koen was sitting In the
front room Wednesday evening be-
tween eight and nine O'Clock, Mr..
and Mrs. Tetley having gone to
prayer meeting. She thought she
would 90 out to the cistern and get
drink of fresh water, but was per-
haps little drOwsy and walked out
OF the front door. She fell down
the steps, breaking her left arm just
above the wrist and bruising
her head, Her grandson, Allen
Burks, who was there, heard her
fall, as did some near neighbors,
and they ran to her assistance. She
was carried into the house and
physician was summoned, who ar
rived just as MIR. and Mrs. Tetley
returned. Her injuries were dressed
and she apparently rested quite
well. Thursday evening, after her
daughter had given her a glass of
milk, which she relished very much,
she fell asleep and seemed to be
breathing regularly and sleeping
sweetly. She slept all night and
much of the day Friday, and her
physician being called he found her
apparently sleeping naturally, but
aroused her to take a glass of milk,
holding up her head. She then laid
back on her pillow and in a short
time breathed her last.
Mrs. Koen, whose maiden name
was Highley, was born near Iron
dale, Mo-, Sept, l6, 1912, and was
married to A. ID. Koen In 1860. TO
this union eight children were born,
six OF whom survive to mourn aud
bless the memory of IA devoted and
loving mother. Mr.. Koen died in
1870. The surviving children are
John Koen OF Mt. Pleasant, Texas,
Mrs. J. II. Tetley of Flat River,
Mrs, jerry Il. Burks of Farming
ton, Edward Koen Of Blwabik
Mimi, Stephen Koen of st. Paul
and Lytle q. Koen of Galveston,
Texas. She also leaves three broth
ers, John b. Highley of Oklahoma
City, Okla, Thomas j. Hjghiey of
near Pennington and Luke Highley
OF Pennington.
Mrs. Koen was a woman of quiet
but cheerful mion aud rare Chris.
tian virtues. She united with the
Christian Church at Pennington In !!
1913 and was the oldest member of
the congregation. Her life was one
OF serene and beautiful faith and
hope, rejecting the love and com.
passion of the lowly Nasarene. and
TO know her was to realize that I'm
spirit she was walking with Jesus.
10 her children she bequeaths a
heritage OF devotion, love and gem
tleness that serve to console and
sweeten their sorrow, and a mem
ory that will 80 with them through
life as blessed benediction.
Short funeral services were held
At the home of her daughter In Flat
River by Rev. Chas. H. Cation.

he Christian Church at Farming

'ept Lytle were here to mingle their
ears and share with eachother their
