OBITUARY.

Mrs. Lena E. (Poiston) McDade, a
native of Ste. Genevieye county, died
at the home of her nativity Febru-
airy II, 1915. She was born April
27, 1865. On August 1S, 1904, she
was married to ]. B. McDade. To
this union were born two children
both deceased. At fourteen years Of
age she professed faith in Christ and
united with the Three Rivers church
of which she remained an exemplary
and consistent member until 1908, at
which time her membership was trans
ferred to East Prairie, Mo. The last
years of her life was spent in MISS
sippi county. About three weeks
previous to her death she returned
with her father to Visit her sister
Mrs. Frank Barton, at whose home
she passed away. she had been de-
clining in health for some time.
The funeral was conducted by the
writer, a former pastor and special
friend of the family. Her body rests
in the Woodman cemetery on her ia
theirs farm. She Is, survived by
husband, j. B. McDade; an aged fa'
ther, D. N. Polston; three sisters anc
two brothers, w. N. Polston of Farm
ington, Milton of Wolf Island, Mrs
Frank Barton, Mrs. Laura Rosensten
gle of Pennington and Mrs. Jo'
Shrum of Neeleyville.
With the passing Of Mrs. McDade
the world loses one OF its most pre-
cious possessions, a noble Christian
woman. She had an exceptionally in
dustrious disposition, simple habit
and great soul. Truly the world i
better for her having lived in it, ant
the celestial chorus OF the white rob
ed throng is swelled by another voic'
which loved to praise the Savior ol
earth. "Whither I go thou shalt no
follow now; but thou shalt follow m
afterwards"

THREE MINERS KILLED
Two Others seriousIy injured

Two Others Seriously Injured
Albert Roberts, shift boss at No.
A Desloge, and Tona Sinko and Mike
Fedoc, two Hungarians, were instantly
killed Sunday morning, and two other
Hungarians were dangerously injured
by an explosion which occurred while
the drill holes were being charged
with dynamite. Mr.. Roberts had
been connected with the company for
years and was considered a very ca
pable miner and forman. Just how
the sad accident occurred will per-
haps never be known. The two min
ers who were injured were at work
about sixty feet away on bluff
We understand that it is their opinion
that the tfiSaster was due from charg-
ing the powder in the drill holes. 1t
is customary to use wooden stick
for that purpose but in a few in
stances miners have become careless
and in hurry would use steel drill
to tamp the powder. The testimony
at the inquest did not reveal the di-
rect cause of the explosion.
Mr.. Albert Roberts leaves wife
and several children and host Of
friends to mourn his untimely de.
parture.
One of the Hungarians was mar
ried. On account of the war his wife
has remained in the fatherland. The
two Hungarians were both buried il
the same grave; their bodies were
terribly mangled.
1t seems that nothing can be done
to avoid these sad accidents occasion
ally.

THE ORPHAN TWINS
DEFEATED INtC0NTEsT
Piano Won by Church

The piano contest conducted by the
Henderson Mercantile Store Co.,
which closed Saturday night, was a
very successful money raising event,
and the management seem to have
taken every necessary precaution to
avoid any misunderstanding or TN
scrupulous methods that might have
invited dissention or criticism. AS it
has been stated, those who entered
the contest knew from the beginning
that only one could possibly be the
winner. The Hunt Twins were among
the first to enter the race and it was,
as far as we have beensable to ascer-
tain, the concensus of opinion that
the little orphans would surely win
in the face of an even brake, but in
this wild age of commercialism it is
not to the deserving to whom JUS
tice comes. We refer here to justice,
not in the sense that the management
is guilty of any misleading state
ments, or any special concessions to
any one of the contestants, but right
eous justice that should prevail in
this land Of ours.
We behold across the mighty seas
three fourths of the population of the
world, most of whom are Christians
in barbaric, devastating and deadly
conflict. We see fathers, sons and
sweethearts bidding their loved ones
last farewell. We see them on the
battle fields ready to shed their blood
in defense of this commercial justice
a product of satanic world. The
prince of this world conceives that
his reign of justice must be disguised
in the name of our fatherland.
Poor, little courageous Belgium
We might add to this, the poor, little
courageous twins

BACK TO THE FARM

Go to the FARM. Don't depend on
shattered public works to raise and
educate your FAMILY. If you do,
you are depending on a broken stick.
Buy yourself small FARM and
be your own boss. See MERRILL
PIPKIN at once and make start
this spring to raise poultry, grain
and stock and thus lay the founda-
tion of happiness and prosperity for
your self and family. Pipkin has 56
farms to sell very cheap. Write him
today at Pennington, Mo. Or better
still, come and see him. He will
show you the farm you need and tell
you all the particulars.

these FARMS on page eight of this

PROF. A. H. AKERs
County School Superintendent, Cam
didate for Reelection.

In this issue of The Times we are
authorized to announce Prof A. IL.
Akers for reelection to the office of
County School Superintendent.
For nearly thirty years Prof Akers
has been closely connected with the
public school work in st. Francois
county. In our minds there is not a
doubt but what Prof. Akers iS better
acquainted with school affairs and all
the many different phases and intri-
cate problems that require at times a
high grade of diplomacy, than any
other man or woman in the county
The status or standard of the St
Francois county public schools is far
above the average, especially on pro-
fessional requirements. No small
amount of eulogy is due to Prof. A.
H. Akers. He will be reelected unan-
imously.

FROM MR.. F. P. GRAVES

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 20, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Editor
1t is exceedingly gratifying to me
to have received the many hundred
letters from my friends conveying to
me their appreciation of friendships
long since formed and happily never
broken, and also their qualification
that my health was being restored;
and that have, at last, taken the po-
sition in my business affairs to not
only demand justice for myself, but
assist all others in also demanding
and receiving justice.
hope to soon return home and
take up the investigation in person
and prosecute it to a successful CON
clusion, that the fruits of long and
busy life may not be dissipated by
those who profted by my life's labors
take this method of conveying the
above, through you, to my many
friends, as personal replies seem toe
burdensome.
Very truly,
f. P. GRAVES

JOHN EDWIN swINK

John Edwin Swink, son Of William
and Eliza Sturdevant SwinlS, was born
in Franklin county, Tennessee, about
six miles from Nashville, on the 9th
day of October, 1888. When three
years of age, his father and mother
moved West and settled in Ste. Cen
evieve county, Mo. Here Mr.. Swink
resided until 1858, when the discovery
of gold was made in California, and
many were led to seek their fortunes
in that land Of sunshine and flowers.
Mr.. Joseph organized an overland
company for California and among
those to make the journey was the
subject of this sketch-Mr. j. E.
Swink. That this journey was a
blessing to him was proven, for there
he met Mrs. Louisa Waldrop, who al
forwards became his beloved wife.
They were united in marriage on
August 10, 1859. To this union eleven
children were born, eight of whom
survive him. He also leaves wife,
one sister, Mrs. Kenner, of Festus,
Mo. one brother, Mr.. Phillip A. Swink
of Arkansas, and host of friends to
mourn his loss.
John E. Swink gave his heart and
life to Christ in July, 1860, at Ante
lope, CAL, under the preaching of Rev
De Witte, and united with the Chris
tan church, and has ever been faith
full unto his vows to God and this
church. And in the possession of this
glorious faith in his Christ and His
power to serve, on the 22nd day OF
February, 1915, he lay down on his
bed and yielded his spirit to God
who gave it.
GAS sweetly as child who neither
Thought disturbs, nor care encumbers
Tired with long play, at close of day
Lies down and slumbers."
"Oh let us trust with holy men Of
old,
Not all the story here begun is told
So the tired spirit, waiting to be freed
On life's last leaf, with tranquil eye
shall read,
By the pale glimmer of the torch re
versed,
Not finis, but end of volume first"

]. M. BAILEY.

BOY SCOUT NIGHT
AT THE F. L. s,

Tomorrow night Saturday is the
special program of tPs Boy Scouts,
to be given at the High School Audi
torium, instead of the regular pro-
gram of the Pennington Literary So
ciety. The scouts have prepared an
excellent and varied program, quite
different in many features from any
program hitherto rendered by the F..
L. S. 1t is hoped that the attendance
will be record-breaker, and the
scouts will be encouraged by due ap-
preciation of their efforts.
The program committee met Tues
day evening and arranged the follow
ing regular program, to be rendered
on the evening of Friday, March 18th,
at the High School Auditorium.
Program for March 18th.
Music by the "Gold Dust Orchestra.
Reading Florence Tetley.
Song-Robert Karsch.
Eight-Minute "Chalk- Talk" on dogs"
by Mr.. Robert Forsyth.
String Quartette: Mr.. Porter, Violin;
Mr.. Barroll, Violin; Mr.. O'Sullivan,
Viola; Mr.. Phillips, Cello.
Piano Solo-Miss Alma Swink.
Cornet Solo-E. C. Barroll.
Music by "Gold Dust" Orchestra.
Parents who must bring very young
children to the sessions of the society
are courteously requested to be kind
enough to take a seat near the door
ways, so if the child begins to cry
, it may be removed without causing
annoyance to performers and the au-
dience alike. Some adverse comment
has been persistently made in con-
nection with the bad order observed
at these meetings, and it is suggested
that as the programs are free to all
with welcome for all, only the good
sense and real courtesy of those who
attend can be invoked to restrain un-
necessary noises, talking during the
rendition of number, or other annoy
ing practices. 1t is hoped the public
will cooperate and endeayor to make
the pleasure of all complete,
