the rules differently and has also

three organizations have joined to-
gether and at a meeting last week in
New York committees OF the associa
tons interpreted the new rules for
basketball this year.
The bulk of the revised rules were
taken from the Collegiate code, but
several suggestions made by the A.
A. u. were incorporated in the rules.
These included permission to shoot
for the basket after a dribble. holding
one hand behind the back on a jump
ball, and playing an extra period to
decide tie instead of playing for one
extra goal. II was decided also to
prohibit centers from playing ball

Mrs. Edward Morton (nee Lucy

emplary students, and retains a spe-
cial interest in her Alma Mater.
Gus Halter has been promoted from
his work in River Mines, with the
Doe Run Lead Co., to Bonnie Terra

the place vacated by Mr. Halter
Lee Horton, who has held re-
sponsible position in st. Louis for
three weeks, is home on a short fur
Tough, and has just reported chat the

offered him a good position, which he
has decided TO accept.
Cecil Sigman, who recently went to
st. Louis, reports having been placed

at home and reports he has been
transferred to St Louis. Linn is

cal Baptist Church, opened our Week
ly Lecture Course TO the students and

the student body. 1t is our intention
to have ministers, lawyers, bankers
and other business men to address our
school on each returning Thursday af-
ternoon, and now, extend a cordial in
vitation to the public generally to Wis

FOUNDER OF CARLETON COL
LEGE SUCCUMBS TO SENILTTY.

Eliza A. Carleton of Pennington,
Mo-, was born in Montgomery county,
Va, June 10, 1926, and was the
daughter of Jacob and Eva (Renn)
Carleton. The father was born in
Botetour county, Va, in 1904, and in
1885 immigrated to South Bend, Ind,
but four years later came to st. Fran
co.'s county, Mo-, where he passed the
remainder Of his life. He died in
1864. The mother died when Miss
Eliza was but an infant and she was
deprived of a mothers love and care.
After the death of her mother she
was taken by her paternal grand
mother, Susannah Carleton, who kind
ly cared for her and looked after her
wants while child Miss Carleton
was sent to the district schools in
Virginia and, after going to South
Bend, Ind, she attended school in that
city. Soon after this the grand
mother died and Mr.. Carleton moved
to Missouri where Eliza A. kept house
for him. In the spring of 1S45 she
taught her first term of school in Dis
trict No 81, at Hickory Cabin school
house. This was a very small log
house and is still standing, and is in
Perry Township. st. Francois county,
Mo. She taught several district
schools, and after accommodating suf-
ficient means, entered Arcadia Col
lege, from which institution she grad
uated in 1853 with the degree of M. A.
In April, 1854. Miss Carleton found
ed Carleton College, which was named
in honor of her father, This school
was located miles north of Farm
ington, and had an attendance of 30
pupils. From the birth of the lnsti
tute Miss Carleton has devoted her
entire time and attention to the insti-
tute she founded. She has lived TO
see her work grow and flourish, and
it is one of the leading education
al institutes in Southeast Mo. In 1878
she moved her school to Pennington,
where she erected a large and COM
modious brick building, surrounded by
attractive grounds of sixteen acres.
She was a lady of rare literary
culture and refinement, and a vC.y
entertaining and instructive con-
versationalist. Her name is a house
hold word in many Of the best fami-
lies of st. Francois county, and also
adjoining counties. She was a con-
sistent and devoted member Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and her
life has been one Of purity and wo-
manly devotion to the cause of educa-
ton and dissemination Of knowledge.
The funeral was conducted at the
Methodist Episcopal Church at 2;30
p. m. Saturday by Rev. A. A. Halter.

grown and expanded until to-day it is
perhaps the largest and most COM
plete general mercantile institution in

Just recently this progressive insti-
tuition enlarged their clothing and
shoe departments, which are on the
second floor and installed new and up
to-date fixtures in all the departments.
At present the business is managed
by the following wide-awake business
men: A. S. Davis, J. w. Simms, w. F.

PENNINGTON WELDING WORKS
G. w. Cunningham, Manager.


We cannot refrain from making
more than passing notice of this re-
liable an Representative, yet unique,
business. Mr. Cunningham, for more
than decade, has enjoyed the dis
tinction of being one of st. Francois
County's most skilled and apt ma
chinist, in fact the large lead mining
corporations of the county have, on
many important occasions along spe-
cial lines, when expert advise of ma
chinist was required, consulted Mr.,
Cunningham.
We recently had the pleasure of
going through the Pennington Weld
ing Works and we are not eNagerat
ing the least bit when we say, that
we were astonished to see large pieces
of broken machinery in some instanc-
es weighing over q thousand pounds,
being welded and re-fnished, in q
perfect and durable state. Here
you will see large engines fly wheels,
cog wheels, spinals, shafts, etc, be-
ing welded and made as good as new,
The Pennington Welding Works is
the only concern South of st. Louis
engaged in this line of work
In connection with The Welding
Works, Mr.. Cunningham maintains
an up-to-date automobile repair shop.

1t will be noticed that both rooms in
the Douglas School are far below all
of the other rooms in attendance. 1t
is sincerely hoped that our colored
citizens will get in earnest about the
advantages of school and keep their
children in school regularly. There is
no reason why they should not stay
up with the average of other rooms,
and the school management will be
very much disappointed hereafter if
they do not.
For the second week of school, Mrs.
Lloyd's room was first with a per-

second with 9972. Several other
rooms fell below their usual record
and will doubtless improve soon.
