The out-of doors setting made met
uresque background for the play The
entertainment consisted of story telling
by Miss Bates, of scenes from the play
not acted the acting of three scenes; !;
Grecian dances by girls in vari-colored
Grecian gowns; songs and tsblesux with
violin accompaniment by Prof. Richter.
The concensus of opinion seems to be
that the entertainment as a whole was
a series of beautiful pictures. The
beautiful music by Prof Richter added
much to the charm. The old Homeric
story was well portrayed by the actors,
of these Miss Lightley, Miss Goodner
and Miss Josephine Boyle showed
greatest dramatic power.
The play was given under the direc-
tion of Miss Marsland who also com
posed the music for the songs and de-
signed the costumes.
Those taking part were:
Ulysses, Miss Lightley; Penelope, Miss
H. Shonyo; Telemachus, Miss Goodner

FATAL SHOOTING
NEAR OWL CREEK

Victim Survived But Few Hours.
Last Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock a fatal shooting occurred on
the highway between Desloge and
Gumbo, at point on the road near
where the decent of the hill or in
cline approaches Owl Creek.
Geo. Wigger, Jr., son of Geo.
Wigger, Sr., and Roy Welch in COM
pany were on the way toward Gumbo
when an alteration arose in some
way and eliminated in Wigger shoot
ing Welch fatally. He died in few
hours, being so critically wounded as
to render his recovery impossible.
Wigger was apprehended soon af-
ter the shooting by an officer of the
law, Mr.. Thompson, and brought to
the County Bastile where he was in
.carcerated to await trial.
The frequent occurrence Of this sort
of tragedy is to be deplored as it
tends to create bad impression Of
this locality.

SEWING PARTY

Last Saturday evening Mrs. DR.. ]. H.
English entertained at her home in
Flat River quite number of her
friends and neighbors with a sewing
bee, accomplishing quite an amount of
exquisite and useful work. Among
those present were: Mrs. G. B. Will
liams and daughter, Minchillie; Miss
Ray Lindsey and mother of st. Louis;
Miss Keith, daughter of DR.. F. L..
Keith, the Misses Stophlet, Miss Ell
sic Reichert and Mrs. c. R. English.
A very pleasant and profitable ev-
ening was spent in work, conversation
and enjoyment, each one of the party
apparently enjoying the occasion in
the fullest sense of the word, depart
ing for their homes in the late evening
feeling they had been shown every
mark of courtesy and refined enter
tainment by their generous-hearted
hostess.

tend. Miss O'Sullivan Is we'll known
to Pennington music lovers. and her
singing invariably proves delightful
and artistic in every sense.
The entire entertainment will prove
to be clean, wholesome, enjoyable and
a yeritable carnival Of fun, music,
laughter and melody intermingled
with gorgeous stage@effects and cos
tuning, considered really ambitious
for amateurs. 1t is hoped and urged
that the public respond with generous
patronage, with the assurance that
a good show will be presented, and the
proceeds used for thoroughly wor-
thy purpose.

means something like thirty million

Remember, that is the amount in ex-

and Japan's navy is considered quite
efficient.

THE MINsTRELs ARE COMING
st. LeO's Players of st. Louis to Give
Unique Performance in Farm
ington.

st. Leo's All Star Minstrels, NUM-
bering 25 people in the cast, viii give
two-night performance in Farming
ton at the Opera House, on the even
ings of April 9th and 10th.
This entertainment is under the au-
spices of and for the benefit of St.
Joseph's Catholic Church of Farming
ton, the pastor, FIR. Morgan, having
been a member of St. Leo's Players
before coming to Pennington, and
largely through his efforts this tall
Tented group was induced to come
here for a two-night performance.
Old time and modern minstrelsy,
which invariably pleases Farming
ton audience, will be the chief feature
of the entertainments, with favorite
local talent assisting with solo num-
bers sure to please. Up-to-date cho-
rus and ensemble music will be an at
tractive part of the progmr ianRD0I
tractive part of the program in itself,
but unique in Pennington entertain
ments will be the Schubert Orchestra,
augmented to II pieces, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Hugh Porter, which
will play all accompanyments through
out the entire entertainment. 1t is
seldom an orchestra with full instru-
mentation is heard in Pennington,
so this feature of the st. Leo's Min
strels should prove treat to music
lovers.
Among the numbers to be rendered
by local talent little Miss Barbara
Caroline Tullock, always favorite
before local audiences, will render a
violin solo.
Miss Virginia Morris will offer a
vocal solo, and her popularity is a

HON. w. L. HENSLEY DEPICTS
NAVAL AND MILITARY STAT
US AT CAPITOL.

The Honorable Walter L. Hensley,
Congressman from this district, re-
turned home the latter part of last
week. He has been working hard in
Washington and is mighty glad to
get back home for a rest. He will
not have to return nutil December 1st,
unless the present European situa-
tion should become so involved as to
demand an extraordinary session of
Congress; and there is little danger
of that, with such men as President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan in charge
of affairs.
When asked concerning the present
agitation to increase the navy, Mr.
Hensley said: eve do need an eff
cient navy, but the naval officers and
the armor-plate men are not the ones
to judge whether the navy is efficient
or not, for it is to their interest to
have the navy increased"
In speaking of this he remarked
that at the rate the other powers of
the world were losing their ships, all
we had to do was to wait and we
would soon have the largest navy on
the globe.
"The taxes on the people are too
heavy, now; there is no need for such
great expenditures on military and
naval affairs. We have now spent
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-03-19

out and used for cannon fodder, in
the case Of war.
"The laboring man is carrying the
whole burden of the country upon his
shoulders and, yet, some people insist
on making him pay for battleships,
each year, that are not really needed.
'If only apart of the amount which
is spent annually for armaments, was
spent for bringing about disarmament
of the nations, how much better it
would be- The United States is the
one who should attempt this, and it
can be done if only gone about in the
right way.
II cannot refrain from saying in
this connection that there has been
no occupant Of the White House, who
has had the krtREen~ to carry that
President wilson ehas, with all this
war situation on his hands, since Lin
coins time. And, yet, in the face of
that, there is small remnant in Con-
gress, and only a small remnant,
thank goodness, of the minority party,
who have tried by every means pos
sible to embarass him.
"They have on some occasions in
sisted upon military showing on the
part of this country. Apparently
they wanted war but Immediately up
on any movement being made which
appears hostile to any nation, they
are ready to abuse the President for
it. q
II served two years while President
Taft was in the White House, and
during this period things were in
bad way in Mexico. In fact, there
were more of our people killed on the
border line than there has been since,
except at Vera Cruz. And during all
this time, am, indeed, glad to say,
not voice was raised in either
House or Senate in criticism of Pres
ident Taft's Mexican policy. But,
alas, tables were changed when Pres
ident Wilson entered his administra-
tion.
''It is my opinion that there never
has been in the history of this coun-
try, such an effort put forth by spe-
cial interests and great financial con-
Germs of the East to humiliate an ad-
ministration and to embarass the
President, as has been during this ad-
ministration.
''If the American only TRULY knew
the effort that has been put forth by
this administration to serve the inter
ests of the masses against the sell
fish interests, they would understand
why these fostered concerns are so
bitterly opposed to President Wilson
and his policies.
4eThis country only needs good
crop year to thoroughly revive busi-
ness and give us such an era as we
have never enjoyed before" Il

Last Wednesday a deal was con-
sumated whereby Mr.. Gus Boyd, of
the firm of Boyd & Mitchell, became
sole owner and manager Of said bus

tinuation and enlarging of the gen
erous patroage of a constantly in
creasig population.

into one of the grocery stores of the
town he found the grocer busy mix
ing wheat bran and other foodstuffs
into hog food, and that it looked
good him, because it, showed that
the people hereabouts were raising
their own pork this year. The wheat
hog food would last, he quoted the
grocer as saying, until pindars were

Last Saturday the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat issued a very
attractive twenty-page special edl-
ton, boosting the OraHgeburg coun'
ty fair. The Herald regrets very
much to have to confess that the
prospects for county fair in Bam-
berg this fall are very, very remote.
We had hoped that the fair organ
ization would be pushed, and that we
would have creditable display OF
farm and other products this fall.
We believe the county fair to be one
of the best institutions that a coun-
tv can have. Other countieN are
having good fairs every year. What
is the matter with Bamberg? Ger
tainly this county compares most
favorabIy with any other county IN
the State in every respect The
Orangeburg county fair is one OF the
best in the State, and every year the
people come together and display the
products of the county in a most ad-
mirable way. The people OF that
town and county take great deal
of pride in the county fair; as is at
tested by the creditable edition OF
the Times and Democrat. We hope
that by AT means the fair project
will be revived in Bamberg ard,
while it will hardly be possible TO
have a. display this fall, we can ar
range a. fair for next fall, and there
is plenty of: time to work on that
idea. The organization of couney
fair here proceeded even as far as
having the subscription lists printed
and we believe that one or two sub
we're made, but there 1T
rested.
