Prof. j.. G.. Hartman wishes US to
state that he received a letter from
superintendent G. W. Hanson of Iron
county in which he stated that he
could count on his attendance at the
Teachers Meeting which Superintend-
emit Hartman has arranged for January
8th, 1916, at Lesterville. 1t is hoped
to make this one of the best meetings
held in this county during the present
school year, and to this Prof. Hart
mar requests and expects every
teacher who can to attend Center
vile Outlook.
During the past year County Clerk,
7. A. Johnson, informs US that he has
only issued sixteen hunters licenses.
The first one this year being issued on
April 18th and the last one issued be-
ing on December 10th, it being issued
to Senator Buford. AS these licenses
all expire at the end Of the calender
year in which they are issued it will
be seen that the Senator's permit vas
only good for 81 days-several more
days, however, than the Senator will
find time to hunt, we guess. Along
back in the days when he lived in
Centerville he was some hunter and
fisher and he certainly 'burnt" some
daylight in this greatest of sports
hunting and fishing. -Centerville Out

The Bank of Catawissa, in Franklin
county, was taken in charge by the
State Bank Commissioner last Thurs
day. There had been a run on the
institution the day before and being
unable to pay its depositors the doors
were closed. The banks former
alignment with the Bankers Trust
Company, of St. Louis, now in the
hands of receiver, is assigned as the
cause of failure, it being stated that
the institution has about SIT 900 of
worthless paper which had been ac-
quired from the Bankers Trust. The
statement is made that depositors will
lose nothing, but stock holders will
be out their investment. Franklin's
triumphant march seems to be sweep
ing grandly on.
Brothers-in-law are sometimes OPP
ponents in law. Thus it is with John
Guyton and Elisha Burr who are in
Justice Marchand's Court to-day try
ing to decide who owned a certain
horse that is 10Y no more. Mr.. Guy
ton is suing Mr. Burr for a horse be
claims he bought from him for $35.
Mr.. Burr claims he did not buy the
horse but had taken it to sell aud was
to get all over $35 If he sold him. The
disagreement over the deal caused the
two men who are brothers -in-law to
quarrel on the train not long ago and
when Mr.. Burr prosecuted Mr.. Guy
ton the latter plead guilty last Mon
day and paid the fine and costs. The
civil suit followed. The horse died
during the summer .-Bonne Terre

unassisted, performed a cure beyond
