A splendid and much needed rain

surface and putting the ground in
splendid condition for growing crops
The rain also caused very percepti-
BILE fall in the temperature.

The Times Office has received an
other consignment of cards suitable

Give us a trial on your next order. We

The streets of Pennington are just
now little muddy with oil, but cit
liens are not complaining of such
slight inconvenience, which will last
but few days. They realize that
this coat of oil means much for their
comfort and convenience for the next
year.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Brown, who
left here last October, shortly after
their marriage, for Loe Angeles, Cal,
are here on visit to home folks. Mr..
Brown has secured position in st.
Louis which he will take up next
week. Mrs. Brown will remain here
for a short visit.
We would impress on all those
wanting job work, of any description,
that The Times job department is es-
pecially equipped for the turning out,
on short notice, of any kind of job
work, which is always guaranteed to
be fright, both in regard to quality
and price. Give us trial with your
next order. Our work is all done by
those who "know how"
W. H. Smith of Desloge was an APP
preciated visitor at The Times Office
Tuesday and renewed his subscrip-
ton. Mr.. Smith had the holiness to
tell us to our face that The Times has
improved wonderfully under the pres
ent management and is mighty coed
newspaper. We are getting little
used to this sort of thing and don't
care how many bouquets. our sub
scribers throw at us. We would
rather have them now than wait until
they are placed on our coffin.
The Times is pleased to report that
George P. Ware, who was very Sc
verely injured last Thursday morning
by falling from a scaffold while at
work at the Lang Bros. Mfg. Plant,
is getting along nicely at this writ
ing with chances good for his re-
covery. While the fall was only sew
en- or eight feet, his head apparently
struck with much force on the cement
flooring, causing fractured skull,
and conclusion of the brain was for
a time feared. His family and many
friends are now hopeful for his com
plete recovery.
The Seventh Methodist Assembly
will be held this year on July 9Th to
23d, at Arcadia, the regular camping
grounds of Missouri Methodists. For
this occasion, Barroll's Orchestra, of
this city, has already been invited to
be the guests of the Assembly for the
second week, during which time they
are programmed for two concerts, on
the evening of July 18th and in the
afternoon of July 18th. Barroll's Or
chestra accepted similar invitation
from the Assembly last year, and it
appears that they must have made a
lasting impression on their audience.
Lee Kugel of New York, former
Pennington boy, was in Pennington
a day or two the first of the week
looking after some of his interests
here. He came in and went out so
quietly that many of his old friends
did not know he was here, and he
neglected to make his usual call up
on The Times, so we missed him. Lee
is one of the successful boys who have
gone out from Pennington and st.
Francois county. He has made quite
reputation for himself, as well as
money, in a theatrical managerial
way, and is now a director in the NOV
ing picture world.
Capt. w. A. Kennedy dropped into
the office the first of the week TO say
"howdy." He arrived home last Sat
urday from a six-months visit to his
son, VIM. A Kennedy, in New York
By the way, Will, who used to teach
school around here, has since travel
ed all over the world and is now one
of the leading and successful finan-
ciers of New York. He is president
of branch Of the Bank of England
and handles money schemes reach
ing away up into the millions, an ex-
ample Of what country boy with a
vision, energy and constructive mind
may do. Mr.. Kennedy spent about
four months in New York with his
son, and for a couple of months was
around seeing things. He spent sew
eral weeks at the National Capital,
visited Mount Vernon, Arlington
Heights (Lee's honey Gettysburg,
Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Niagara
Falls, Detroit, where he crossed the
river over into Canada, the Blue
Ridge in Porter county, Pa, where
ice remains all the year round, En-
poria, Pa, where are located the big
powder mills that make smokeless
powder, and other points of interest.
The Captain is looking we'll and
says he spent six of the happiest
months of his life. =
