lily MOVE TO ST. LOUIS

Hon. Madison X. Smith and his
most cstimab!e wife and his two
youngest daughters, have this week
moved to st. Louis, Mo, to live.
Senator will enter the practice of
law in st, Louis.
We regret very much to lose Sena-
tor Smith an family, and he will be
missed in legal, social and church
circles.
Senator Smith is lawyer of mork-
ed ability and statewide reputation.
He served Bollinger county for two or
more terms as prosecuting attorney;
served his Cthis) State Senatorial
district in the State Senate; he was
reporter for the ST. Louis Court of
Appeals for four years; he represent
ed this district in Congress, and late
ly was our Minister TO Hayti.
Me join with Senator Smiths many
friends in expressing to him and his
family our loss in their going away,
but at the same time wish him and
his prosperity and success; and also
hope he may come back and see US.

About 100 Of the teachers of the

which was only about 80 per cent Of
the total number which the law spec
ifies should attend--i. e. the law in
tended that all the teachers of the
county should meet just prior to the
opening of the schools of the county.
The meeting, however, was a sue
cess from start to finish, there being
great and earnest interest manifested
and a good attendance of the number
enrolled
The following excellent musical pro
gram was rendered quite efficiently,
and the musicians received and de-
served the cheers and plaudits Of the

Moothart and Lawrence Smith; pi-
no music by the Misses Alva Clay
and Ethel London; selected cadings
by Miss Grace Denman and Miss May
Cover; Vocal solo by Miss Pearl

WILL CARLETON COLLEGE

The report that Carleton would
move to st. Louis was. probably,
started by some St Louis citizen that
desired to see it moved there. The
matter has never been considered by
Carleton College friends or trustees

Charles Schucttlcr has been trans
ferred to The Latin Department, as
she has specialized in that work and

pearance of the audience that this
was a college community. Carleton
College has left its impression on the
community and has been blessing
to this part Of the state. 1t is up to

well and squeeze it dry, which will
leave the cells quite open. Then

put it where the ants are troublesome.
They will soon collect on the sponge
and take up their abode in The cells.

HOME MAKERS CLUB
ENTERTAINMENT

Rarely has it been the privilege OF
the people of Pennington to hear
such an entertainment as that given
at the Monarch Wednesday evening
MS such a price The participants in
this affair were Mrs. Eisenberg
Beard, Miss May Cover, Mis-. Ruth
Harris of St. Louis, Lawrence Smith
and John Robinson, introduced and
assisted by Rev. l.. r. Jenkins. From
the opening duct by Mrs. Ei8cnberg
Beard and Lawrence Smith, 20 the
closing one, there was not a number
that was not pleasing. 1t was re-
marked that Mrs EisonherE Beard
showed the ability for which she had
always been noted in choosing clas-
sicll numbers that had melody in
them instead of those pieces consist
ing of numerous scales and runs,
whic hwcary the ear. Mrs. Eiscn-
berg Beard has added much to her pre-
vious knowledge by study under the
best masters in New York. Law
renee Smith proved an able second
in the duets, and also added much to
the program with his number on the
xylophonc Miss May Cover reader,
gave "Thc Carpenter Man." and later
a selection from that charming little
play,"Peg O. My Heart" and so well
pleased was the audience that an en-
core was demanded which proved the
"Boy's Interview With the Fly" The
fourth member was to be a surprise
and it proved TO be a very agreeable
one when Miss Ruth Harris Of st.
Louis, who is very prominent there
in musical circles, was introduced.
She sang number Of songs in a
very delightful manner, her voice
proving to have a large range, and she
was obliged to give an additional
number before the audience would he
satisfied Rev Mr.. Jenkins, in addi-
tion to his humorous introduction,
provided an extra in having an old
harky tell his master bad news over
the telephone. John Robinson filled
the place rs accompanist in a capable
manner. The entertainment was Civ
en- under the auspices of the Home
Makers Club, to assist in raising
funds to put Domestic Science in the
High School so that girls may have
the similar advantages as the boys
who have manual training. 1t is an
important matter, and should be in
every school When the elimination
spoken of by DR.. Homer Cook at the
Chautauqua Of the useless things on
the list of stuies take place, Domcs-
tic Science will fill this place. The
club is to be congratulated in giving
our people this opportunity of hear
ing these artists.
