AN ITEM OF INTEREST
Cash Seems to be What the
Farmers Want {

fFH
It has been noted that the
Wells Fargo Express Co. has
handled from the st. Francois
County Marketing Association,
more eggs and poultry than all
other concerns in Pennington
combined. This is conclusive
proof that the farmers are wax
ing up to the realization that
cash is far better for them than
truck and turnover. This con-
cern has been in Pennington
now little over five months and
has hundreds Of pleased and sat
isfied patrons.

O. b. Us DEFEAT DeSOTO
Y. M. G.. AS

On last Saturday the Ozark
Business University foot ball
team scored a decisive victory
over the strong Y. M. G. A. team
of DeSoto, Mo. Both teams
played good football but the
Ozark boys showed that they
had had the best coaching, and
although outweighed by their
opponents they battered their
way up and down the field, and
when the final whistle blew end
ing the game, they had the big
end of the 2 8 to 0 score.
Each one played a splendid
game and each deserve credit
for the victory. The line smash
ing of Wichman, the sturdy full
back, was the best that has beer
seen around here for good
! while. The play of the back,
field was especially noticeable
in one instance McClintock reel
ing off a ninety-yard run for 9
touchdown and being pursued by
the entire team across the length
of the field, but he was too fast
for his would-be tacklers.
The University boys take OF
this same team on the both o.
this month at DeSoto, and thu
Y. M. G. A Coach promises Il
make the game more interesting
for the Ozark boys,
We expect the next game vii
be with the strong Marvin Col
| lege team Of Fredericktown Of
Saturday, the % of this month
Everybody should turn out an
encourage the boys and see
hard-fought game. These team
should be about evenly matche
and the University boys are &c
inc to strive valiantly for a vic
tory.

Until about five years ago Mr.

many years had been affected
with malignant tumor of the
chest, passed away at his home
in Pennington at 9:45 o'clock
last Friday night, aged 33 years,
6 months and 8 days.
Roy, as his many friends knew
him, was one of st. Francois
county's most promising young
business men, and while his
death was no great surprise to
his friends, nevertheless, it was
a great shock because of the fact
he was just in his prime, and
the gates of opportunity, wealth
and happiness stood aiar to a
young man Of his calibre. His
aged mother with loving hands,
the youthful wife, brothers and
sisters, medical and surgical spe-
cialists did all within their pow
er to restore his lost health, but
with no avail.

mature death.

NEXT PROGRAM OF THE LIT
ERARY SOCIETY
To be Given by the Schubert
Faculty.

The next regular program of
the Pennington Literary Socie-
ty will be given next Friday ev-
ening, October 22d, by the fac
ulty of the Schubert School of
Music, at the High School Audi
torium.
The Schubert faculty, Mr..
Porter, Violinist; Mrs. Nelson,
Vocalist; and Mrs. Forsyth, pi-
anist, delighted the audience last
year with the special program
which they rendered under the
auspices of the Literary Society,
and this year the program to be
given is an especially interest
ing and enjoyable one.
Mr.. Porter has lately organiz-
ed an orchestra at Flat River,
composed of some Of the ahlest
musicians in the Lead Belt, and
this orchestra, under direction
of Mr.. Porter, will render two or
three selections in connection
with this program.
The Program Committee of
the Society asks us to state
again that suggestions are al
ways appreciated, and anyone
who knows of an interesting
"stunt" 0 any kind suitable for
/ these programs, will confer a
real favor by communicating
with any member of the COM
mittee, which is composed of E.
C. Barroll, Clyde Morsey and
Supt. Johns. The Society is not
run in the interest of or for the
benefit of any school, church,
faction, clique or set of people
but is for the benefit of the
whole town of Pennington.
Therefore, the Committee ex-
poets the cooperation of the
whole of the town, and such aid
as the people can give in making
easier the task of finding suit
able numbers to place upon the
programs. One of the principal
objects of the Society is the de-
] velopment of latent talent among
those who are not in the habit
of appearing in public. There
: are in the town many people
who can sing, or read, or play
some instrument, or make a
| speech, or have dramatic talent,
t or can do something else inter-
i. esting and entertaining and
: those people are the very ones
the Committee is anxious to
: discover and give an opportunity
e for public appearance. Will you
help?

DAMAGING ROAD SIGNS
To Whom It May Concern:

To Whom 1t May Concern:
We are having a number of
complaints come into our office
rfom officials who are erecting
road and other signs, stating
that the signs are shot at and
damaged by hunters and others.
We believe that this is often
times done thoughtlessly, but in
asmuch as it is becoming too
much of a custom, we would be
pleased, If you care to do SO, to
have you assist in seeing that
not only hunters do not shoot at
signs, but ask the people to not
deface the signe by throwing
stones at them; and that the
school teachers call attention OF
the school children to this bad
habit, as everybody should have
pride in seeing our highways
present a good appearance.
Yours very truly,

BOARD OF MANAGERS OF
STATE HOSPITAL NO. A
NAMES TUBERCULOSIS
BUILDING
Designated Robert Drum
Building in Honor of Founder
of Institution.

The Board of Managers of
State Hospital No. A, at its
monthly session in the Admins
tration Building of this splendid
Institution, last Monday, among
other things, passed resolution
naming the new Tubercular
Building, which was recently
erected for the retention of pa
tients afflicted with tuberculo-
sis, the Robert Drum" Build
ing, in honor of the Hon. Robert
Drum of Marble Hill, Mo-, who
is regarded and esteemed as the
founder of this magnificent In
stitution.
The resolution was introduc-
ed by Hon. Sam j. McMinn, who
is a member Of the Board and
resides in Bollinger county, in
which county Mr.. Drum also
lives. The resolution was unan-
imously passed.
Mr.. Drum represented his
county in the Legislature dur
ing the session of 1897, at which
he introduced bill providing
for the establishment of Hos
pital for the Insane somewhere
in S. E. Missouri. The bill he
introduced in the Senate, and Sc
cured it's passage in that body,
but it died in the house. Sena-
tor Drum was again elected to
represent his district in the
Legislature in 1899, and again
introduced his Hospital Bill,
known as Senate Bill No. 49,"
this time succeeding in securing
its passage in both bodies of the
General Assembly, and being ap-
proved by the Governor, became
law.
This provided for the erection
of State Hospital No. a, the his
tory and development Of which is
well known to every S. E. Mis-
sourian, and has expanded anc
grown until it is one of the best
and most complete institutions
of it's character to be found ii
the United States.
To secure the enactment o.
this bill, was Senator Drums
hobby" He was conizant O
the necessity for such an insti
tuition in this section f tn
State and set about with deter
mination to succeed in seeing hi
ideal become a reality. He la
bored indefatiguably and pa
tiently, Knowing full well tina
his contention was worthy an
should be sustained.
In view of this foresighted
: ness, and incessant labor in cor
ceiving and pushing to fruitio
this model Asylum, the actio
of the Board, in thus commen
Grating and honoring his nam'
is fitting tribute to the wis
dom and memory of this nobl
man.
This home for S. E. Missouri
unfortunates is, comparativel
speaking, a little Republic Of i
own, d model Of neatness,
place of beauty, a community't
interest, where are housed az
scientifically cared for mo-
than 600 persons Of ursouf
mind. Under the present MAJ
agement, which is headed by D
G. E. Scrutchfield as Superb
tendent, every standard has bet
elevated and highly perfeets
until today this Institution cor
pares favorably in every respe
with every other Of its kind.
