Jury Couldn't Agree.

The case of the State of Missour
against John O'Brien charged with OBJ
tanning Money under false pretcnses
went to the jury late last Thursday
evening, after fiery and heated ar
gument on the part OF the attorneys
on both sides Of the case. Attorney
Bond of the defense made such af-
firmations in his plea that brought
universal censure from the people and
as well pair of black eyes for him
to carry back to st. Louis, the popu-
lar and successful cashier ofthe Farm
er's Bank, L. II. Williams, being the
one who delivered the blows to re-
mind the gentleman that he had over
stepped the bounds Of decency and re-
spect in his efforts in the defense
of McBrien. After being out all night
Thursday night and part of the day
Friday the jurymen came to the con-
clusion that they could not agree, and
Judge Dearing received their, report
and dismissed them. The vote stood
seven for conviction and five for ac-
quittal.

ESTABLISHES SPEED RECORD.
In Approximately Sixteen Hours the
Office Force of The Times Sets in
Type, Prints and Mails Up
wards of 5000 Eight Page
Papers.

Going some! Yes, indeed, but it was
just a matter of have to. Wednesday
evening very little had been done to-
ward getting out this weeks issue of
The Times. On last Saturday the
operator of our new linotype machine,
Mr. A. A. Turner, got it into his head
to seek another cline and without pre-
vious warning or notice to the Mayor
of Pennington, or evnN to this office,
packed his trunk and suit case and
having purchased tickets for St. Louis,
hit the road for other parts. OF course
it was some disappointment, and has
greatly inconvenienced The Times Of
flee, but it is said that where there
a will there is a way, and with this
in mind, we have gone steadily on
with other business regardless Of the
fact that there was no operator in the
office. OF course the means avail
able were used to secure a man, and
on Wednesday evening Mr.. K. w. Kel-
ley Of St. Louis, arrived in Farming
ton and began to timber up the ma
chine.
About four gallies oftype were set
Thursday morning when the machine
was started and Il number Of ads were
also on hand to be prepared for in
sertion in the issue Of this week. The
issue Of the week isthus the product
Of net over sixteen hours Of work on
the part Of the entire force.
II is to be hoped that we may not
be so inconvenieaced again soon. 1t
may be that this issue is not as per-
feet as it might hayc been under 9th
er conditions, but we are glad to get
it out, and to send It on its mission.
There are a number Of items Of news
and some reporters cpy that in the
haste have been omitted from the
columns of the paper, but, take it
from us, that we have done the best
VIC could under the circumstances.

On March 10, theangel Of God bent
low and lovingly, and. tenderly took
nome thc sweet spirit of little Vir-
ginia Walker, the lovely and loveable
little daughter Of Mrs. Florence Swink
Walker, Virginia was only years, A
months and days old ut her death,
yetthis short little life was so filled
with the beauty Of childhood, that the
fragrance of her life still remains as
message to others.
Knowing and loving little child
like Virginia was, one does not Won
der at the choice the Savior made of
childhood as being the type of true
greatness. WinSomeness, purity,
truth, directness, eagerness to grow,
trustfulness, and loving and loyable
disposition and nature, are indispen-
sible characteristics of true greatness.
And so little Virginia, though living
only five short years, leaves a mes
sage that softensn, brightens and
beautifies the lives Of all older peo-
pie who knew her. "Suffer the little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for to such belongeth the
Kingdom Of God" Today we may
mourn, but to her is granted the
beauties and gloryof Hcaven.-One
Who Loved.

1t would not do to say that Grandpa

for he does not think so. lie says that
he is only so years young. just this
last Wednesday he WAS able to cele-
brate his cighticth birthday. Hale and
hearty, Mr.. Cunningham made his
way to The Times office. It has been
his custom to renew for The Times on
his birthday as one of the ways Of
celebrating the occasion. (The editor
thinks this is very fine way to cee-
brate birthday, too.J So, in keep
ing with his custom, Mr.. Cunningham
came to advance his time another
year. The editor extends con-ratula-
tions to Mr.. Cunningham on his hay
ing lived so long, and that he is so
well preserved, and further hopes that
many more years may be spared him
to enjoy life-here and the companion
