Just what everybody has been ask
ing for-at the Monarch, Tuesday,
August /.
The Times job department has dur
ing the past week printed patches of
cards for Chas. Adams, candidate for
Sheriff, and c., E. Marshall, candidate
for Representative. While the cards
printed at this Office are not positively
guaranteed to make votes, we do
claim that the high grade of work
manship they exhibit should, at least,
create a good impression. Every can
didate in st. Francois county should
get some of them. Our prices are
also right.
Rev. A. NJ. Harral, who was pastor
of the Christian Church at this place
about sixteen years ago, was Farm
ington visitor last Saturday. Mr..
Harral has been making his home at
Dallas, Texas, for the past ten years
or more. About two weeks ago he
and Mrs. Harral came up to see his
aged father, Mr.. Jesse Harral, Of
Bismarck, who is past SO years of
age. Mr.. Harral occupied the pulpit
of the Christian Church at Flat River
last Sunday.
Considering quality, our prices are
the lowest in town. Autsen, phone So.
Rumors have been set afoat in diff
efrent parts of st. Francois county
that W.. Tom Halle, who is seeking re-
nomination as the Democratic candi-
date for Treasurer of this county, is
now serving his second term in that
office, and that it is for third term
that he is now running. This is clear
ly an error. In 1912 Mr.. Halle sue
ceeded Mr.. Fischer in that Office, and
he is now asking for a second term,
which is generally conceded to county
officials who acquit themselves credit
ably during their first term. Tom
Halle is standing solely on his merits
for reelection as County Treasurer.
LOST-A lady's gold bar pin, set
with three pearls. Suitable reward will
be given party returning pin to The
Times Office.
w. A. Mitchell, popular candidate
for Associate Judge of the County
Court from the First District, was
mingling with many friends here the
first of the week. Mr.. Mitchell has
been exceedingly busy in his hay and
wheat harvest for some time, where
he makes a full hand, which has been
quite serious handicap against his
making the campaign he would other
wise have made. But still he appears
to be running strong, as practically all
voters in this district know him very
well anyway. He is now nursing a
sore fore finger on his right hand, the
result of his press Of work.
FOR SALE-Good Jersey cow with
third calf: $75 for COW and calf. Call
on or address, ELIZA BURGESS,
Pennington, Mo-, Route 8.
Kenneth is making big preparations
for the Burke Hobbs meeting, which
has been advertised for weeks to be-
gin at that place on July 23rd. The
Kennett Democrat Of last week con-
tanned the following notice of the
meeting here: Reports reach here
daily of the progress of the revival
now being conducted at Pennington.
The cvangelists are having from 10 to
IS conversions each day. Up to the
last report received early in the week,
more than 200 people had given their
hearts to Christ. Among the number
of converts are some of the most
prominent business men in the city,"
While the country generally is now
having period of excessive heat, st.
Francois county is particularly for
tunate in this regard. The nights par
ticularly here are such as to make
sleep possible, which is not
so in many other sections of the
State. Neither has any appearance of
a drouth yet made its appearance in
this county, while in many other sec
tons, added to the excessive heat,
damaging drouths are even now work
ing havoc with crop conditions. Also
the suffocating and devastating dust
conditions that prevail in so many
other portions of Missouri, has been
solved in st. Francois
which, we believe, is The best
part Of the State in which to reside.
at this season of the year.
