John Wilkson and

John Wilson was convicted of vio-
lating the local option law at the re-
cent term of the Circuit Court and ap-
pealed his case, but continuous reports
have been coming to Prosecuting At
torney Davis that Wilkson persists in
his violation. On Wednesday of this
week Mr.. Davis filed with the Circuit
Clerk an injunction against John and
Ida Wilson, his wife, forbidding
either of them keeping a restaurant
where any kind Of drinks, "soft' or
otherwise, are sold. Judge Huck not
being in reach, the Prosecuting Attor-
aey, desiring immediate action, ap-
piled to the County Court for tenn
porary injunction, which was granted
Final action on the proceedings
will be heard at the next term of the
Circuit Court. A violation of the tenn
rorary Injunction by either Wilson
ar his wife win subject Them to CON
iempt Of court. and it is thought that
perhaps this may restrain the old
mans disregard Of law.

Good Work By
The D. A. R.

The Serah Barton Murphy Chapter
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion have been engaged in the COM
mendable work of putting the Knights
of Pythias Cemetery in presentabls
condition. Crystal Lodge X. of P. has
turned over to them the amount it
has used to go over the grounds about
once year to cut out the too abun-
dant underground and weeds, and
with this and few small donations
by persons owning lots in the ceme-
terry or having loved ones buried there.
some progress has been made; but
with the limited means at their dis
posal the work is but half begun.
1t is a work of love as we'll as To-
cal pride that prompts them, and they
hope to be able not only to make the
cemetery more presentable place,
but a place of beauty and to see that
it is kept in that condition This they
cannot do unless they are substantial
ly encouraged and helped by all who
have loved ones resting there or own
lots. For this reason the Daughters
will be glad to receive donations from
these and other literally disposed per-
sons with which to carry on the work
they have so unselfishly undertaken.
1t is sameful disgrace the way some
of our cemeteries are neglected, when
they ought to be made beautiful and
inviting spots where the living may
go without sense of shame and neg
lect to visit the graves of loved ones
and scatter the flowers of love which
so many Of us failed to bestow when
they were still with US. But oh
"How soon we are forgot"
We hope this movement of the D.
A. R. will arouse in our community
keener sense of duty and larger
respect for the last sleeping places OF
our dead, and more generous spir-
| it impelling us to make cemeteries
what they should be. The individuals
so far who have made donations are;
DR.. VIM. Wescoat of 0ran, $780,
Mrs. P. v. Ashburn, $500; Misses
DENLY, $1.00; J. E. Clay, SOC; Mrs
Barney Petty, soc; Mrs. Sarah e. Sc
bastian, SOC; John Mackley, SOC; Mrs
Warsing, 25c; Miss Louise Mackley
25c. The Daughters hope to hear
from everyone who owns lot in the
K. of P. Cemetery with liberal dona-
tion. Don't wait to be asked an6
don't be niggardly in your donations
Think of the unselfish work they are
putting into this movement and be
just as unselfish in your giving.

Why Is This?

The Times has heard a number of
complaints recently, from citizens and
property owners in Pennington, many
of whom live along the electric car
line, caused from the fact that the
electric company run but few passen-
ger cars through this city, most of
the cars starting either from the
postoffice or the depot. just why such
an order should be made by the lines
management has never been made
public, and it is certainly a very great
inconvenience to large part of the
residents and taxpayers of this city.
Especially when the weather is in
clement or not inviting does such hard
ship augment itself, forcing people
often to walk many blocks, when, if
the electric line would make trips
through the city, especially to connect
with all trains, they could catch the
car at their homes.
for the benefit of the community
through which it runs, but, judging
from the frequent criticisms coming
to us recently, the electric line is
coming to be not so recognized. Many
are inclined to believe that 1t is spite"
work" on the part of the company that
so many of the cars now start from
the postoffice or depot, paying ap-
parently no attention to about half of
its roadbed through the city, except
for very few trips each day. There
are at least 1000 people at the State
Hospital alone, whose many wants
must be in a measure supplied by this
line. There is also a switch there on
which any freight car can be side
tracked, should they be in the way.
There is considerable feeling now TO-
menting against the present running
of cars over the electric line, which
will probably result soon in mass
meeting to demonstrate, if the pres
ent order is not repealed and the cars
are not run to the Hospital gates.

J. w. Carr made payment in full of
school fund bond and mortgage and

ton on margin of record of same.
The State Auditor was authorized
and directed to draw his warrant in
favor of County Treasurer Halle for
amount of teachers training course
money appropriated to county for the
Flat River school district.
E. B. AuBuchon was exempted from
work on the public roads on account of
physical disability.
DR.. 7. l.. Hodges ct al. petitioned
for improvement Of certain streets or
roads in the unincorporated town of
Esther, and the highway engineer was

ed for improvement of Pilot Knob and

ASSESSOR LAWENCE WELLS
DELIVERING THE GOODS"
His Books Show That He Is Bringing
Up The Values OF Corporation
Property To Proper Level.

In view of the above remarkable
showing, it is but just to say that the
assessable value of st. Francois coun-
ty property has not been noticcably
increased, nor diminished. The prop
erty as shown in the 1914-15 assess
ments has been here all the time, but
those figures are but an indication of
what a difference close, careful and
capable assessment can Ilske. That
Assessor Wells is unusually careful
and capable along such lines cannot
be successfully gainsaid. The above
figures substantiate such state
ment.
The present assessment has already
progressed sufficiently far to make the
prediction a certainty that the pres
ent years tax levies will again be in
creased by many thousands of dol
lars over last years assessment. Yet
the raise will not be on farm nor city
property, which will not be boosted
in any way. But the great increase
in assessments will come from raises
in corporation holdings and consider
able other property that has hereto
fore escaped taxation. This indicates
the efficiency that comes from exper-
fence and ability.
This year Bonne Terre alone will
receive an increase in assessment of
$222,308 over last year, which will
mean an absolute lowering of school
taxes, even though a new school build
ing has just been completed there.
Flat River will have an increase in
assessed values of $280,813, which
will net them in increased taxes $15,-
540.88 more school money than in
1928. Other districts, such as Des-
loge and Leadwood, show proportion
ate increases in their assessment. The
assessment throughout the county for
he present year, over that of last
1ear, will be, conservatively speaking,
something near $1,000,000.
Do you think that anyone could
make a just and equitable assess
ment? We would reply that there are
few more difficult things to accomplish
than an absolutely fair assessment of
property values in such county as
st. Francois. Lawrence Wells has
practically all the natural qualities
for making a just assessment, and
now, with his four years of experience
in that Office, he is prepared to de
liver the goods, as it will be found he
has done, when the present assessment
is completed.
