SPLENDID CHANCE TO
SECURE CITY PARK
Though Pennington is Charming
Little City We Should Not Neglect
to Add to Its Beauty

In this day of civic improvement,
when there is unusually more or less
friendly rivalry between many towns
to outdistance others in the matter Of
adding to their attractiveness, an eye
should always be kept open for any
thing that will bring the "home town.
even one step nearer to the "City
Beautiful"
While allowing our thought to ram
BILE along this line, the writer's atten-
tion has been drawn to the fact that
notwithstanding the very apparent
beauty of Farmington-its dustless
streets, handsome residences and we'll

park, which is the real "show place"
in those places having such a play
ground, for rest and refreshment.
A little Investigation disclosed the
fact that there is five-acre tract of
land, lying close in, and being one of
the highest points in this city, that is
splendidly situated for such "beau-
ty-spot". This tract of land lies lust
east Of the water works, fronts on
two streets, and but a casual view of
the landscape would convince anyone
with its exceeding suitability for park
purposes.
Further investigations developed the
fact that this land is owned by the

Circuit Court room last Saturday af-

Sleeth presiding, and Francis A. Ben

general Importance was transacted,
and nothing was given out. There will
be another meeting of the County
Committee, however, on next Mon
day, September 4th, when important
party matters win probably be acted
upon. There will also be visiting

A number Of mer,bers of the County

New Piano Store
For Pennington

W. A. Gillian, who has since the
first of this year established an envi-
able reputation throughout the Lead
Belt as a dealer in pianos, as well as
being en- expert piano tuner, was in
Pennington Monday to secure a bus
mess location in this city, where he
will open a piano store for the pur-
pose of putting in large stock of
high grade instruments, which he ex-
poets to have open to the public about
September LIST. He now has a piano
house both in Flat River and Bonnie
Terre, where he is doing thriving
business,
Mr.. Gillian knows the needs and de-
mands of this community, and intends
to carry in his house at this place the
highest grade pianos that are manu-
factured, AS he buys direct from the
manufacturers, he will be able to save
to the purchaser several middlemen's
profit which the average dealer must
charge up to the final customer. Mr..
Gillian has had many years expert
ence in the piano business, and will
therefore be in position to absolutely
guarantee every instrument he sells.

versity and variety, while at the same
time it will be truly representative

the three nights will easily get the
worth of their money from this con-
cert alone, and in connection with the
two nights the Pageant will be given,

Badly Injured

Clell Riney, a lad of 13 or IA years,
met with a frightful injury Friday af-
ternoon at the home of Tim Mccarthy,
while he was assisting his brother,
who drives the auto delivery for the
Klein Grocer Co. The lad had carried
an order into the Mccarthy home, and
was running in order to save every
possible moment, as Saturday deliver
les for this store necessitates speed.
There is shoe scraper near the door,
and the walk being rather slick, the
lad fell as he was attempting to step
over the scraper, catching his left leg
on one of the sharp projecting prongs
of the scraper, and almost tearing the
entire calf of the leg loose.
The leg was frightfully torn, but
prompt attention from surgeon soon
had it properly dressed, and the lad
is now getting along remarkably we'll
and the prospects are good for his ear
ly recovery from his injury.

There seems to be latent in the
minds of all men love Of adventure
and in the minds of all women love
of the picturesque. Both of these ele-
ments are fused in the history of a
family, locality and nation, hence we
have poetry, drama, and in the last
wears, pageants. The Pennington
Pageant aims to visualize the story of
the birth and growth Of our State.
The first scene will be a presenta-
tion Of Indian life on the peaceful and
domestic side--the braves, women and
children-when runner enters with
the news, "the pale face, the stranger,
is coming" In the distance music is
heard, and in short time that prince
of adyenturers, DeSoto, with his fol-
lowers. CARRYING the Spanish flag and
the cross, enters upon the scene.
The spirit of manhood is always rec
ognized by those true men who pos
sess it, and at once the Red Chief and
the White Chief express themselves.
The white man, DeSoto, holds up gold
and silver, and asks if they are to be
found here. The Indians are greatly
interested, for they have never seen
these metals before, but hold up a
piece of gray lead to the surprise and
pleasure of the Spaniards. Some of
the other Spaniards see some salt
which the Indians had piled up, and
are greatly pleased, for they were in
need Of it. This is one epoch Of our
history.
The second scene has poetic tinge,
gathered from our beloved poet Long
fellow: Evangeline and Basil, with an
Indian. guide, pass this way in search
of Gabriel.
Scene third gives us our share of
the great Louisiana Purchase history,
and will be beautifully represented.
The fourth scene will be an inter-
esting picture of the early settlers
from 1899 to the forming of the Muir
phy Settlement, out Of which grew
Pennington. The older people will
think of the past, the younger will
look with wonder at the earlier life
Of that magnificent man and woman
the pioneer.
The fifth scene will be more of a
tableau representing that very inn
portant event, the presenting by Da-
vid Murphy of 81 acres of ground for
a seat of Justice, thus making Farm
ington the County Seat Of st. Francois
County.
The sixth scene will be a tableau
pprtraying Pennington surrounded by
her sister towns of the county, all
represented by young women and girls
who Dersonifv the beauty of an ideal

Good Sale

The public sale held last Friday, by
Sheriff J. C. Williams, at his farm,
one-and-a-half miles north of Liber-
tyville, was one of the most success
full in every respect, that has been held
in st. Francois county during this en-
tire year. A big crowd was in at
tendance, among whom were many
bidders, which resulted in a very sat
isfactory sale.
Nothing but live stock was sold,
but practically all of this went from
this unusually we'll equipped farm.
"Joe'sY health is such that he did not
feel like giving of his time that pro-
per care that live stock demands, hence
his decision to make a complete clean
up, which included much of the finest
stock to be found in the county. The
receipts from the sale were about
$4,000, in cash and notes. A good
dinner was served on the grounds, and
it was not only profitable occasion
to all buyers, but an enjoyable time
for all.

Chautauqua
Next Year

A very successful Chautauqua sea-
son came to close Saturday evening.
The series of entertainments covered
period Of five days, including ten
numbers, everyone of which were
greatly enjoyed by all present. While
these entertainments have been rem
dered, it is quite apparent that there
still remains in the hearts Of the pa
irons much of good as result of
them. A good Chautauqua has an ed
ucational, edifying, uplifting and en-
nobling effect upon all who attend
them, as there can be seen much of
the best and most clever in the way
of platform performances.
The comparative ease with which
the guarantee list was filled for an
other Chautauqua next year is the
best commendation that can be offered
for this years program. Farming
ton and community is unquestionably
benefited from having had presented
last week the commendable five days
Chautauqua program, which should
continue to bear fruit throughout the
lives OF all those who were privileged
to attend.
One of the numbers for Saturday
Afternoon was "dress up" program
by the children who had been enjoying
"funfests" during the week under
the Chautauqua play specialist, Miss
Myrtle Parkes. This performance
was to have been given on the Court
House green, but owing TO threatened
rain, the hall in the Tetley block was
substituted. There was given sam
pies of how the children had been en-
ploying an hour each day under the
direction Of Miss Parkes, and most
satisfying were the samples" to pa
rents and friends of the participants.
In fact, many pronounced it the most
enjoyable of the entire series of Chau-
tauqss entertainments. The hall was
SO crowded by the parents and friends
of the participants, that the play
ground" was too circumscribed to per
nit the girls and boys to do their
best work. But it was entirely salts
factory, and demonstrated the fact
that Miss Parke ranks high as
"play specialist"

Ozark Business
College to Open
September 5th
Excellent Prospects for Ban
ner Year Reported

The Ozark Business College of
Pennington will open for the twelfth
year, Tuesday, September 9th. The
management informs us that pros
poets for banner year in attendance
and results are evident, and we pre-
dict very interesting session for this
enterprising institution.
In this age Of excitement and move
mennt, the Business College is set
ting the pace of Business Life, and
carries rich rewards for enterprise
and provides plenty of material for
inspiration and enthusiasm.
The young people of Southeast Mis-
souri, should feel justly proud Of the
opportunity offered to secure High
Grade Business or Shorthand Educa-
ton, practically at home, and every
young man and young woman who is
ambitious and desirous to get the
most out of life should interest him
self in work that is congenial-that
puts them in touch with the big
things of business--that identifies
them with managerial work.
In other words, does it pay TO be
able to side-step the hopeless search
ing for a job--the endless waiting
the humiliating interviews accorded
the unframed? Therefore we advise
that you let those who know-who
have been through it all, advise you
and train you for successful career.
You have the right TO picture your
self a year from now a successful ap-
plicant for position in bank, il a
railroad office, manufacturing firm.
lrealsestate, or one hundred other en-
terprises, because you will have the
ability to do things that ought to be
done in these places, and because you
have behind you the power and infiu-
ence of this valuable school.
Getting start in business is half
the battle to success, and very sim
pie action will jump you Immediately
into the successful class. That ac-
tion is today to write a letter like
this: "You may register me as a stu
dent to begin next Tuesday, Septem-
Der 5th."
+ That decision insures you the tech
snical skill in business, and chance
to begin an association with Busi-
ness Firm where salary increased will
depend only upon your voluntary eff
fort.
The institution has the moral sup
port and good wishes of every bus
mess man in Pennington, and it is
but natural that we all wish for the

A Shooting ARRAY

A shooting affray, fortunately with
out fatalities, occurred at Flat River
about o'clock last Sunday afternoon.
The scene of the trouble was opposite
the Miners Supply Co. store. w. H.
Whaley there met Irwin AuBuchon,
who was accompanied by his fathet-
in-law, Cleve Francis. Whaley ac-
cused AuBuchon of running his sister,
Myrtle, 16 years old, under promise
Of marriage, threatening to kill him
if he refused.
AuBuchon did not appear to relish
the suggested trip, and Whaley drew
revolver. Francis then got between
the two younger men, while Whaley
fired one shot withuot effect. In the
meantime Harold, a 16-year- son
of Francis, who had witnessed the diff
ficulty from in front of his home, a
short distance away, thinking that
Whaley had shot at his father, ran in
to the house and secured a sot gun
and fired two shots at Whaley, who
responded with three shots at the boy,
none of which did any damage.
AuBuchon had Whaley arrested on
lHe ClldiBG VI dSSduib 10 XIII. w Hdley
also had young Francis arrested on a
similar charge. Myrtle Whaley, over
whom the trouble arose, had AuBu-
chon arrested, charged with seduction
under promise of marriage. The
principals in all three cases were Civ
en- preliminary hearings on Monday
before Squire Ramsey, which result
ed in Whaley and AuBuchon being
bound over to the next term of Cir
cult Court for trial, and their bonds
were fixed at $1,000 each.
The State dismissed the case of
Harold Francis, on the theory that he
was warranted in his actions, through
appearances, in his desire to protect
his father.
1t afterwards developed that before
the trouble, w F. Lawrence had call
ed Whaley into his store and plead
with him not to cause any trouble, but
to permit the law to take its course in
redressing the alleged wrongs to his
sister. But Whaley seemed determin-
ed to avenge the wrong he alleged had
been done his sister, going directly
from there to the scene of the trouble
AuBuchon stoutly maintains his in
nocence of any wrong-doing. He had
but few days prior to the trouble
married daughter of Cleve Francis.
