This castle is an old landmark of
the county. Ferdinand B. Kenneth,
the elder, was a dealer in lead and
lead land, and acquired Il fortune Of
three hundred thousand dollars or
more. He married a Miss White, the
daughter of n prominent merchant of
Washington county, sister of Moses
White, who once owned the harness
farm on Big River. She had exalted
notions of an ideal home and in the
early fifties, she persuaded her hus-
band, against his will, so rumor had
it, to erect magnificent mansion on
the cliffs at Selma, two or three miles
below Crystal City, overlooking the
Mississippi River, which cost him, it
is said, one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. The mansion is Of stone
and reminds one of the castles of the
knights of the Middle Ages in Eu-
rope and England. It still stands.
As home it is ideal. but as an in
vestment il was failure. Some Of
the people at the time called il "Ken-
nett's Folly" Mr.. Kennett lived in
this mansion, at least in summer time
after building it, till his death, which
occurred in the latter part Of 1861.

"BUY A MISSOURI BALE"

"Buy Missouri Bale" is the we'll.
chosen slogan of the Caruthersyile
(Mo.) Commercial Club. Missouri in
1913 had 81, ,i32 acres in cotton, worth
S1,S5l $500. The 1914 crop in Penn
iscot county is estimated as worth
$1,5OO,0OO under normal conditions,
The Secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture appeals to our citizens to
actively take hand in boosting and
investing in Missouri cotton.
Why not specify the horne grown
product and thus foster the Missouri
spirit? "Grown in Missouri" is a
good gospel, so thinks The Farming
ton Times.
