Burk & Hobbs are not here but the
Union meeting is under great Roadway
just the same. The famous evangelists
are having such success in their meet
ing at Harrisburg, ILL.,, that they could
not close in time to take charge of
the union meeting here last Sunday.
Sunday the time the Harrisburg
meeting was expected to close, their
were a large number of professions
and on Monday night there were 81
more, which raised the total number
to about 1,42s. The Harrisburg meet
ing will continue throughout this
week, but the evangelists have wired
that they will be here next Monday
if the trains made connection, and
certainly not later than Tuesday

From Saturdays st. Louis Globe
Democrat: "Harrel J. Haven, a min
or, throught Frank Haven, as his next
friend, filed suit in the Circuit yester-
day, asking the Nannulment of his
marriage to Fay Sizemore, 1926 South
Broadway. Haven, in his petition,
charges that June l, last, when he was
visiting his grandparents in Iron
County, No., Frank Sizemore, the
girls father, came to the residence of
his grandparents and took him to the
Sizemore home. Sizemore then took
Haven to Potosi, Mo-, at O'Clock in
the morning, the petition alleges,
waited until the marriage license Of
fee opened and then forced him to
take out a license. 1t is charged the
marriage was performed by a justice
of the peace, while Sizemore stood by.
Haven said they separated immediate
ly after the ceremony"
The work on the streets is being
energetically pushed forward, and the
contractor seems thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with his business. But his con-
tract does not call for the concrete
guttering Of the roadway, and this
am assured is necessary to insure Its
permanence. tits a matter that should
receive immediate and grave atten-
ton, and if such guttering is required
it ought to be done. / know the city
has not the funds requisite, but they
may be supplied by assessing the cost
to the holders Of property abutting or
Main street. The cost, I am told. will
be less than fifty cents to the linear
foot, which would not be ~unbearable
and if this lesser expenditure will
secure permanent benefit from the
"a. 200 voted for the reconstruction o.
the street, it seems to me wise tc
raise the funds to meet it. 1t is
matter for the city authorities tt
prayerfully consider.

, Our old friend F. T. Hunt of nea
Lesterville was here Monday. II
told us that he would go to st. Loui
) to. day to attend the regular MONTH
meeting of the Missouri Game an
Fish League. Mr.. Hunt is intensel
interested in securing or rather
having the state to secure a site o
Black River for the State Park. Th
I owner OF the Ha Ha Tonka Park, !
!. Camden county, will make 8 stron
effort to induce the Senate COMMITTEE
! to favor that place in their report t
the next Legislature. Camden count
| nor any other county canpresenta be
] ter site for a state Park than Keynote
! county. Camden county has nothin
! to compare with the proposed site !
Reynolds county, and our site con
tains double the amount OF land an
can be purchased for about half of th
amount asked for the Camden coun
ty site. Ha Ha Tonka is about 2
? miles distant from the nearest rail
I road station, while the Black River Dit
? is only about six miles from the Iro
Mountain and 10 or u from the Mis-
