THE GOOD OLD DAYS"

The good old days" are but re-
minisences Of the past in Bonne
Terre. 1t is an old adage that "his-
tory repeats ITSELF Will it? That
is a question, that if answered to the
satisfaction of the average grown
up" in these parts, would shatter the
hopes of the optimist or rejuvinate
the swiveled condition Of the pessi-
mist.
You have got to be one or TIE other
If you live in this community in the
past few years. The time was when
we were one big happy family. The
st. Joseph Lead Company was the
guardian angep of us all. Come
day, go day, happen what might, high
tariff, low tariff, what cared the hun
dreds of toilers, whose families en-
joyed the days of plenty and content
ment, with no thought or care of the
future.
With j. Wyman Jones, C. B. Par
sons, Fred Graves and others as the
"guiding stars" of the great lead min
ing industry, from pioneer days to
modern fame, who could have dream
ed of the present deplorable condi-
tions? The last guiding star, in the
person of Mr.. Fred Graves, is flick
ering in the balances, of the present
management, and so all the hopes of
the stockholders and the hundreds of
toilers for the return of better days.
About two years ago Mr.. Robert
Holmes of st. Louis, shot over the
horizon of the troubled conditions,
which were threatening the very
foundations Of our stricken communi-
ty and our famous lead mining indus
try, and shed great ray of hope
both to stockholders and employees.
But the ravages of greed, graft,
,nipotism and innate desires of the
management, tutored in the school Of
experience of their fathers, blotted
out, or at least bleared the light of
hope, which was being kindled in the
hearts of employee and stockholder
by the economic wisdom and business
like methods of Mr.. Holmes. When
will the "good old days" return with
the present management in charge
not before Gabriel blows his trumpet.
1t may be true that the unbusiness-
like methods of the present manage
ment, with their unlimited desires to
do as they please, will last tempor-
arily and they may ride on the mo-
mentum of success which their fathers
gave to the business, but they will |
finally reach terra ferma. Conditions |
are conditions, and cold facts have to
be met face to face. May we not
hope that Mr.. Holmes whose compe- :
tency has been demonstrated in al
measure at least, will keep up his eff
forts to restore some of the contented
conditions, both of the toilers of our
community and the stockholders Of the
company. If he is given a chance, !
we believe the present management
will make a success in spite of them
selves. ONE WHO KNOWS.

COUNTY BUREAU. MEETING
(B. L. FRANCE, Agent.)

A very profitable and interesting
meeting Of the County Farm Bureau
was held Saturday afternoon in the
Office of the County Agent. About
"a men were present. Every officer
and delegate at large were present.
Also a great many of the presidents
of the local clubs were present. Prof.
D. H. Doane, State Leader, was pres
ent for part of the meeting.
Some detail business was conducted,
but the most important feature of the
meeting was the almost unanimous
vote of those present, that there
should be a roundup this fall. Mo-
tion was made and carried to that
effect.
A committee of.five was appointed
to make up premium list and report
the funds that would probably be nee
essary to carry out the project. The
committee appointed was c. B. Den
man, VIM. Matkin, VIM. Ashburn,
VIM. Bruett and j. w. Buck.
The purchase of a lantern was au-
thorized by the Farm Bureau. This
will be a fine thing because it will
make the local meetings more inter-
esting and attractive. The lantern
will probably not be avainable for use
for about two months.
Meetings next week are as follows:
Cartee school house, Tuesday night,
June 9Th; Copenhagen, Wednesday
night, June 9th; Bismarck, Thursday
night, June 10th; Jaydee, Friday
night, June 18th. The meeting at
Jaydee is an organization meeting,
the rest being regular meetings.

Some | times he was a Spanish officer who had I concealed the war chest of the Carlists; l sometimes the treasure was even more dubious in origin, but it was always
 there. where no one else could find it, 1 and in view of a contribution to the expenses of it's recovery the recipient

In order that the contribution should not appear too incredibly profitable a speculation. sentiment was appealed to the misery of the prisoner pathetical- | ly sketched. Sometimes even he was dying, and though he no longer ex- pected happiness in this world the fu- ! ture of his daughter weighed upon him. and his correspondent was implored to ! accept half the money in consideration | of becoming her guardian.

 On Wednesday the ships continued the bombardment of Fort Dardanus on the Asiatic side of the Dardan- elles. Destroyers and mine sweep CTS are pursuing the work of clear ing the outer straits of mines. The French ships are keeping up the

 No action was possible on the third until p. m, when. although the weather was still unfavorable, the Irresistible, Albion, Prince George and Triumph resumed the attack on Fort Dardanus and the concealed guns in
 this neighborhood. These were less active than before; by ships with
 more certainty.
 "A useful aeroplane reconnaissance ! located several encampments and two permanent batteries.
 "On March the weather became 1 fine and sweeping bombarding opera tions within the straits continued steadily. Meanwhile demolition par | ties. covered by detachments of the

 Seddil Bahr to continue the clearance of the entrance to the straits. The
 party at Seddil Bahr discovered and i destroyed four Nordenfeldts.
 Some skirmishing ensued on both
