TRIBUTE TO JUDGE HUCK

Some of our exchanges are
making forecasts as to the prob
able candidates in the general
election of 1916-among other
offices to be filled that of judge
of this, the twenty-seventh ju-
dicial district. A native Mis-
)sourian, an able lawyer, and a
conservative, conscientious gen.
tleman, one who presides with
dignity and treats courteously
every lawyer, litigant and juror
in fact, a man of the people
who has met with every court
the last five years, and whose ad-
ministration Of Office seems en-
tirely satisfactory, should, it oc-
ours to The Press, succeed him
self, and we believe there is a
consenses Of opinion that Judge
Huck is the right man in the
right place. He came to us, five
years ago, an entire stranger
and in his quiet, modest way
has made for himself lasting
hold upon the affections of the
people of Bollinger county-and
that without any grand stand
plays. Believing we voice the
sentiment of a large majority of
the voters of the district we sug-
gest that Judge Peter H. Huck
enter the race for reelection to
the office he has so faithfully
filled.-Marble Hill Press.

GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY
AT CAPE GIRARDEAU
OCTOBER 18th

Every leading Democrat IN
each of the 27 counties of South
east Missouri will be expected at
Cape Girardeau on October IA
to participate in the grand DEM
ocratic rally to be held at the
Fair grounds. Vice-President
Marshall, three United States
Senators and two Congressman
will furnish the oratory for the
big rally. Senators Stone and
Reed have already wired their
acceptance of invitations. Ollie
James of Kentucky, one of Bry-
ans closest political friends,
will be there if possible. A mag
nifcent barbecue dinner will be
served at noon on the grounds.
Ten cattle and a small number
of sheep have been donated for
the occasion.
The Vice-President, the Sena-
tors, the Congressman, and the
rank and file of Democracy will
sit side by side, their only cover
being a canopy of blue sky and
eat in picnic fashion between
speeches. The grand parade
will begin to form in the busi-
ness section of the city at 10:30
a. m. At II o'clock the parade
will march to the Fair Grounds,
where a great feast awaits their
arrival. Two hours will be given
for dinner, after which the Vice
President of the Nation will ad-
dress the multitude. Mr.. Mar
shall has a wide reputation as
an eloquent speaker, and you
should not fail'to hear this great
man. Senators Stone and Reed
will be there in all their glory.
Ollie James stands pre-eminent
as one of the greatest orators of
the Nation. Congressman Wal
ter L. Hensley and John Russell
will be there with their oratory
and prestige.
This will be the largest demon
stration ever held by Democrats
in Southeast Missouri. Special
trains on all roads will accom-
modate the visitors.
Harry E. Alexander is Chair
man of the arrangement Com
mittee.

A BOOST FOR HENSLEY

Hon. Walter L. Hensley, who
is our present Congressman,
having been reelected for a
term at the last election in spite
of all political tricks known to
standpat politicians, being used
to defeat him, is in our judg-
ment worthy of the endorsement
of this district, because of the
strength shown in that election,
and for his excellent record in
Congress. We believe that he
would be endorsed by being re-
nominated and reelected next
year. While all may not agree
with him on the question of pre-
paredness of the country on the
score of a big navy, there is no
reason why that should becloud
his many other acts favoring
the great questions considered
by Congress of an epoch making
character such at the Reserve
Bank bill, the Tariff Reform bill,
and numerous other administra-
ton measures. He will be found
to be in accord with the admin
istration in all things during the
coming session of Congress and
that should beget him added
support from those he will thus
fittingly and acceptably repre-
sent in the National Congress
as Representative from this dis
trict. A native of Jefferson
county he has a strong hold on
the voters of this county, which
an examination of the election
returns will show to any who
may dispute this assertion. No
better man for the place could
at this time be named and his
party could not do better than
to re-nominate him.-Jefferson
County Democrat.

COUNTY COURT VIEWS
TRACTOR DEMONSTRA-
TION
Well pleased with Splendid
Work.

The new Tractor, which the
County Court had ordered, was
unloaded at DeLassus Monday
and run into Pennington, ar
irving about l o'clock. This
tractor is a Caterpillar Forty
five-Twenty-fve," and the way
it slipped into town on it's two
endless chain tracks, shows it is
correctly named. The demon
stration here on the streets
showed the tractor being turned
a complete circle in its own
length, in about thirty seconds,
which is a wonderful perform
ance. This short-turning fea-
ture, together with great trac-
tive powers and easy handling
makes the Caterpillar" espec-
tally suited to road work. We
understand it is the intention Of
the Court to grade several miles
of road yet this fall. There are
miles of road in the country
that need grading and have not
been graded because there was
no power to be had to pull the
large graders. With this trac-
tor and the big grader purchas-
ed last spring it is hoped the
Court will be able to grade roads
all over the county and get them
ready for the gravel or rock top
dressing. This new outfit was
in use Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday morning grading
about three-quarters of a mile
of road by the residence of VIM.
Korber, South of Pennington,
and finished the job in nice
shape. The County Court was
out Thursday morning and in
spected the work done and saw
the Caterpillar" operated over
some very soft ground-just
deep midland were fully sat
isfied with it.
The Caterpillar" tractors
have been in use for ten years,
and are manufactured by the
Holt Manufacturing Co. of Pc
oria, ILL.,, who are represented
here by Thomas H. Holman.
The Court is to be commended
for it's endeavor to get first
class, up-to-date machinery for
road work, as by so doing they
will be able to greatly reduce
the cost of road work.

Association was established ear
ly last spring by Messrs. Gard

in the Cole & Nixon block.
These energetic young bus
mess men soon built Up a -four

while they were obliged to move
to larger quarters to a"comno-
date their trade. For some
time they have been established
in what was formerly known as
the packing plant.
This firm buys eggs, produce,
hides, etc., for cash. They are
also agents for a high-grade fer

which is about three and one
half feet above the ground. Mrs.
Burner is 78 years old. She is

LITERARY SOCIETY

The first meeting Of the Farm
ington Literary Society this
season was held last Friday ev-
ening in the Auditorium of the
High School. Every available
seat in the main Auditorium
was taken long before the exer-
cises were scheduled to begin,
and practically every seat in the
balcony was occupied by 1880.
Mayor Mckinney was on the
program for a five-minute talk,
but on account of his official du-
ties which were required by a
local lodge, could not be present.
He instructed the city's attor-
ney, Clyde Morsey, who be-
comes vice-Mayor in the abb
sence of the Mayor, to repre-
sent the city. Mr., Morsey, who
is also President of the Society,
discharged the duties involved
upon him in most creditable
manner.
The fire alarm failed to cause
any great amount of disturbance
principally because the auditors
were absorbed in the program.
The rendition of the first pro-
gram was a big success.
