JOHN MERTZ'S RESIDENCE
BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE


Last Sunday morning about 10:3(
Mr.. and Mrs. John Mertz, who were
out in the yard, discovered smoke
coming out under the shingles on the
roof of their house. The alarm was
given, and before the fire department
boys arrived with the hose, the roof
was well ablaze, but by hard work
the main part of the building was
saved, thought much damaged of
course by water. The roof was en-
tirely destroyed.
The building was neat one and
g half story, comparatively new, in
the vicinity of the water and electric
light plant The furniture was all
saved, but it too was somewhat dam
aged as always is the case in the
hasty and rough way of handling in
case of fire.

FORTNIGHTLY GIVES
RARE ENTERTAINMENT

The Fortnightly Club gave Their
friends fine treat on Washington's
Birthday, at the home of Mrs. j. s.
Clay. Miss Dorothy Bell of Cape Gil
rardeau, a reader of rare attachments,
favored them with most delightful
program. Miss Bell reads with won-
derful finish and poise, and has such
charming personality that she
quite won the hearts of her hearers.
Her Interpretation and rendition of
"The War Brides" was especially
fine, full of intense and dramatic
feeling. The whole program will long
be remembered with pleasure.
Mrs. Clay was assisted by the other
members of the club in receiving the
guests. A delicious salad course was
served by Misses Emily Matkin, Dor
is Swink, Mary Henderson and Helen
Scrutchtield.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
ENTERTAINER

The High School Orchestra gave its
initial performance on Tuesday night
Director Smith and his players cer-
tainly gave pleasing entertainment
No one, except those who have tried
it, knows what it means to take play
ers, never having had an instrument
in their hands, and bring them up to
the standard he has in five months.
Mr.. Smith is a young man of ster-
ling character, educated in his art and
believes in developing in his pupils a
love for the purest and best. Farm
ington recognizes that his ability to
lead his orchestra to see the beauties
in music and bring it to its highest
development, is second to none. The
program last Tuesday demonstrated
his ability as teacher of all the orches-
tral instruments.
The audience was attentive and ap-
preciative.
The piano duet by Misses Raines
and Castleman was well received.
Delos Johns tuba solo pleased the au-
dience immensely. The choruses un-
der the direction of Mrs. Beard receiv-
ed the highest commentator, they,
being said by some, to equal the
work done by chautauqua singers.
Harry Smiths reading called down
the house. Harry also played the
drums and bells for the orchestra.
No doubt many older boys would like
to be able to perform as well.

d. A. r. ENTERTAIN WITH
AMUSING CARBARET SKIT

Something out of the ordinary was
the cabaret skit given by the local
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution at the Monarch last
Friday night. They were greeted by
an overfowing house and the large
audience keenly enjoyed every part OF
the program.
The opening feature was the NOV
ing picture of "Paul Revere's Ride
illustrating the poem. Mrs. Harry
Wagner of st. Louis then delighted
the audience with several readings of
negro dialect, and Miss Miller, who
has appeared several times before
Pennington audiences this winter,
sang three beautiful solos.
This was followed with clever
skit of a fashionable cabaret scene,
in which Misses Nancy Gardner, La
vinia Rozier, Catherine Gardner, Ru-
by Hough, Suson Gardner, Anna
Craig, Virginia Castleman and
Mrs. Frank Weber, Mrs. A. O. Mich
OILS and Mrs. Walter Morris gave a
happy impersonation of women prom
inent in New York social life.
Miss Gardner and Miss Rozier de-
lighted the audience with vocal solos,
end especially pleasing was the dane
ing of Miss Catherine Gardner and
Stanton McClintock, who imperson-
ated the Vernon Castles.
Each number was appreciatively re-
ceived and applauded with vim.
The program was interspersed with
inspiring and seductive music by Bar
rolls Orchestra. SO that there was not
a dull nor dragging moment during
the whole evening.

Judge William A. Gardner, who is
now sojourning at Ell Paso, Texas, for
short time, has long been an ear
nest student of the science and fund
amental principles of law, maxims of
the Roman Republic, and other hidden

In response to request for a
report on conditions at the mine,
President L. d. Gordon of the Round
Mountain company wired the San
Francisco Chronicle statement from
Salt Lake for the benefit of stock
holders. He declared that placer
operations were proceeding as usual,
that the original statement of prob
able earnings would prove to be con
sentative. and that the question OF
dividends would depend on results
during the balance of the season
The sluices have yielded more than
$4,000 since February 20. and an
other cleanup is in progress. The
larger percentage of values is in the
bedrock. which has not been tapped
as yet.
President Gordon also stated that
the Round Mountain water supply
would be somewhat below expecta-
tons because of the extremely dry
season. He had no explanation to
offer for the recent decline. declaring
that the management had not been
selling, but had brought the stock up
to 20 cents by its development of the
property.
