MRS. OLGA ESTES DIES AT
BUFFALO, MO.

Mrs. Olga Estes, the beloved
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. JEFF
Cunningham of Route 2, passed
away at Buffalo, Mo-, last Sat
urday morning at the home OF
her brOther-in-law, Rev. Thos
Estes, shortly after giving
birth to twins. She was united
in marriage to Mr.. Clarence Es-
ties about a year ago, and for
the past several months they
have made their home at Buff
falo, Mo. Mrs. Estes was a
highly respected young woman
and a thoroughly devoted Chris
tian, and the community in
which she was reared deeply
mourns her untimely departure.
The body arrived Sunday at
1o'clock from Buffalo. The fun
eral was conducted by Rev. Thos.
Estes at Three Rivers Monday
at IL a. m. The body was laid
to rest, by loving hands, in the
Woodman cemetery.
Besides a host of friends to
mourn their loss, she leaves a
devoted husband, infant twins,
father and mother, a sister and
two brothers. To these dear
people the sorrowing clouds are
very dark and heavy.
The Times extends sympathy
to the bereaved.

ST. JOSEPH LEAD co. TAKES
OPTION ON PUEGNET
TRACT FOR 100000.

The Puegnet tract of land
lies not far from Bonnie Terre
and includes the platte of Bogy-
town which was surveyed sew
eral years ago. Edward A. Ro-
zier, attorney for the st. Joseph
Lead Co., last Friday filed for
record, at Pennington, an OPP
ton given by the Sarpy Real
Estate Company of st. Louis to
the st. Joseph Lead Co. to the
Puegnet tract, consisting of
about 400 acres and including
the underground mineral rights
to the various lots in Bogytown.
The option price for both the
surface and mineral rights per
acre is 100000 and 100000 per
acre where the mineral rights
only to the lots are given. The
option is for 100 days and the
bonus or consideration for same
is $5,000.00, with the privilege
of time extension of 100 more
days for $5,000.0O. The st. Jo-
seph Lead Co., in conformity
with the agreement contained
in the option, must begin within
thirty days after the option is
given, drilling and prospecting
for minerals on said property,
and to keep at least two diamond
drills in operation during the
life of the lease. Undoubtedly
the company will have several
drills in operation on the tract.
The Puegnet family has own
ed this tract Of land for years.
In 1905 Mr.. M. B. Puegnet Wis
tied Bonnie Terre and after an
investigation decided to pros
pect the property, and if suffi-
Gent mineral deposits were
found he would Immediately be-
gin to execute plans for the or
ganization of a company, the |
purpose of which would be to
mine the property. For a num-
Der of months several diamond |
drills were kept busy drilling |
the property; at the time of the |
panic in 1907 nearly so holes had |
been drilled with splendid pros
poets. On the eve of putting |
his plans into execution his wife
lied. Her sudden death was a
great shock to Mr.. Puegnet, and
from which he never entirely
recovered. He died in Michigan
IN 1914. The Puegnet heirs re-
tide in st. Louis where they have
extensive interests.

HARRINGTON COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETS IN SPE-
CIAL SESSION

An invitation some weeks age
was extended to Mr.. A. H. Hin
chey, Field Secretary of the
Federation of Missouri CONNER
cial Clubs, to address the bus
mess men of Pennington. Mr..
Hinchey accepted the invitation
and at a special meeting, Mon
day evening, at the Court House,
Mr.. Hinchey expanded in logi-
cal and forceable manner the
good work the Commercial Clubs
were doing for their cities and
communities. He was especially
asked, in the invitation, to ex-
plain the organization and work
ings of the Cape Girardeau Lii
brary. The explanation was so
thorough and simple that at the
close of Mr.. Hinchey's address,
"a motion was made and second
ed that the Pennington CONNER
cial Club heartily endorse the
Public Library movement for
Pennington and appoint a COM
mittee of five persons to coop
crate with the present Library
Committee, appointed by the
Women's Clubs, for the purpose
of drafting plans for the inaug-
uration of library in this city,
The following influential and
progressive citizens were ap-
pointed: Mayor E. j. McKin-
ney, L. H. Williams, A. S, Da-
Wis, Barney Petty, Rev. DuBose.
This Committee is to report their
findings at a future meeting.
Pennington is sorely in need of
a Public Library, and we believe
our people are public spirited
enough to see that our city shall
be blessed in the near future
with a public library. The fol-
lowing members, Supt. ]. c.
Akers, Albert Wolfert and w
E. Matkin, were appointed to-
prepare and present an exhibit
at the Southeast Missouri Pro-
ducts Show, to be held in Cape
Girardeau Oct. 27-30.
1t is the binding duty of our
citizens to cooperate with the
Cornmev ial Club and these
comm IS for the advancement
ar he rment Of our city and

ed a committee to cooperate
with other committees having
the preliminaries in charge. The
benefits of such a library are too
apparent to need any argument
to convince one of it's import
ance, and from the enthusiastic
manner in which the leading cit
liens of the community are sup
porting the movement its sue
cess seems assured. /

Average for the

highes attendance, 1878. Mrs
Lloyd's room stood second with
$3.50. Mr.. Staten's room in the
colored school fell far below the
normal with 1902,
One teacher in reporting her
attendance noted that nine days
absence on her report were due
to visiting, six days to illness,
one to death of pupils father,
and two half days to careless
ness. This reminds that pupils
are often unavoidably absent and
sometimes absent for trivial
causes that might have been
avoided without serious incon-
venience to anyone. If parents
are in earnest about the school
progress of their children, and
expect for the children to con-
slider school work a serious bust
ness they should be kept in
school every day possible.
The first regular football game
by the High School team will be
played on the Ozark Athletic
Field on Saturday afternoon at
300 o'clock, when the strong
team of Perryville High School
will be here. 1t will be remem-
bered that Perryville played
our last year team a no-score
game, and it is reported that
several of last years players
are in their lineup this year.
Coach Alternately has been Civ
ing our boys some excellent
training and they seem in good
condition and should put up a
snappygame. Every lover of |
school athletics should see the
game Saturday and give the
home boys the encouragement
they deserve. School children
will be admitted for 15c; regu-
lar admission 25c.
School will be dismissed on
Thursday and Friday, October
% and 20, to allow all teachers,
who wish, to attend the South
east Missouri Teachers Asso-
citation that will be in session at
Cape Girardeau at that time.
Five other important meetings
will be held at the same time in
Cape Girardeau and it is esti-
mated that 1000 teachers will
be in attendance. A special
special train on the Iron Noun
tain R. R. from DeSoto directly
to Cape Girardeau, will be pro-
vided for Thursday morning and
will return on Saturday after
noon, making it more convenient
and cheaper for teachers in this
county to reach the meeting.
At a recent meeting of the
Board of Education the use of a
room in the High School build
ing for Public Library purposes
was authorized. At thesolicita-
ton of the local U. D. C.s, prac-
tically all of the organized fore
es of the community have be-
come interested in establishing
a public free library and reading
room for Pennington and vicin-
ty. Several important meetings
have been held and preliminary
steps have been taken toward
that end. On Monday night the
Commercial Club of Farming
5on endorsed the movement,
pledged its support, and appoint

REV. BAILEY'S ADDRESS TO
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Business University:
II find myself in the position
of addressing an audience inter
esting in what l am not especial
ly familiar with-that is bust
ness work. But I will say in
beginning that today is espec-
tally a day of specialists. A man,
in order to be recognized, must
become expert in his field of use
fulness; and in order to be rec
ognized and be given credit, he
must be a master of whatever
he undertakes. With that
thought in view, that we must
master and be authorities of
whatever field we enter, / would
say that Audubon prefessed to
know more about birds than any
other man. He was an authori-
ty on birds. He was an expert.
He was a master. If | wanted
to know about birds, / would
consult Audubon. If | wanted
to know about law today, and if
| wanted to consult an authori-
ty upon law, l would og to
Blackstone. He was master.
He was an authority on the sub
ject of law. If | wanted to con
suit someone about disease, /
would go to some doctor who is
a master and would learn from
him that side of life. But if /
wanted to know about law, |
would not go to a preacher. If
| wanted to know about religion,
l would not go to Blackstone or
Huxley. Although in their line
they are authorities, outside
their line they were not special
lists.
Now then, my line is not bus
mess. am not acquainted with
banking systems or money max
ing, therefore, | would not be an
authority on business methods
at all. | would not be recogniz-
ed as an authority on law, med
icine or birds, but in my field, I
believe | have the right to be
heard because that one field is
the one especially in which II
have attempted to make myself
expert. So in order to speak
with authority / turn not to law, |
not to medicine, or business, but
| am going to speak to you, this
upon the Kingdom of
Jesus Christ.
Now, religion to many people
means the incomprehensible and
fails to interest them or to be
Of vital Importance in their lives.
Dur conception of the Lord and
Savior has been, first, that Jesus
came into this world to establish
A kingdom that has no direct
with this life, butt
simply to prepare us for our last
hour, the going out of this life.
My Kingdom is not of this
world. If it were, then my
soldiers would fight for me-"
Iesus meant that he was not to
establish a Kingdom as Napole-
IN, or Alexander, or as William
he Conqueror, who in e1066
the English Channel,
defeated Howard, gained the
,reat victory that united the
Norman and Saxon blood, which
rave to the world one of its rich
st heritages, the English Ian
.uage of today. Now, He did
lot want to establish a Kingdom
ike that, but simply that He
ONES to establish a Kingdoml
hat through love would take all
his world and make to his glo-
y. Jesus taught his disciples

'hy Kingdom come, Thy will be
Ione on cath as it is in heaven" !

'rayer should be that the King /
ON of Christ should Gonna IN 1

MUNITIONS SCANDAL
Cause of Shortage Which Led to Fall
of Warsaw Will Be
Investigated.

Petrograd, Aug. 1.-THE scandal of
the failure of the supply of munitions
which led to the fall of Warsaw is to
be Investigated by high commission,
in conformity with resolution to that
effect adopted by the Dounia. At a
session of the Douma held in Camera
the minister of war announced that
the commission of inquiry will be
formed shortly. and that it would in
vestigate thoroughly the guilt of par
ties presumed to be responsible.
The chairman of the investigating
commission will probably be Gen.
Petroff, of the engineering STAFF, who
is also a member of the imperial
council.
