This is indeed a joyous week for the
little girls and boys of Pennington,
who are having most enjoyable romps
on the court house green, under the d.
rection of Miss Myrtle Parkcs, the
Chautauqua Play Specialist. Miss
Parkes certainly understands her
work of giving the little folks most
valuable instruction on how to de-
velop themselves, both mentally and
physically.

on Harrington Should Have Golf
Links Therein will be found a few
i of the many very good reasons why
The Times is advocating golf links
for this city. There is no other one
thinRsl which could be so easily seclr-
ed, that would do more for the good
and upbuilding of the human race
than daily game of golf, or even an
j occasional game. And as true sport,
there is nothing that exceis golf. A
trial will convince you Of such fact.
4 That sterling Nestor of the South
east press, Eli d. AXE, editor of the
i Ironton Register, and his son, F. P.
AXE, dropped in on us yesterday
morning. They motored over from
Ironton and were, on their way to
Frankclay to sec their friend, w. T.
| O'Neal. Mr.. AXE has soul for beau
| ty and spoke enthusiastically of our
handsome residences and general
charming appearance of the town. He
looks fresh and wholesome, as if the
years sit lightly upon him and good
health and conscience keep him cheer
full company. So be it, till lifes twi-
light fades into starlit heavens.
| Pennington has made a decided hit
with Grady Jones Cardy, the Super
intendent Of the Vawter Chautauqua
| System. He calls it "the dustless
town." and says it seems to be abso-
lutely dust-proof. This is the only
town he has seen, in all his travels
that is entitled to such distinction
he also knows good town after he
has spent few days in it, and Farm
ington impresses him as being as
a nearly ideal as any town he has seen
in all his travels. Comparatively few
of our citizens appreciate Farming.
ton at her true worth Mr.. Cardv's
communication is literally true. Eli
knows whereof he speaks.
i DR.. and Mrs. c. E. Byington left
Yesterday for Nashville to attend ths

Sunday afternoon Mr.. Litterer left
home alone about 4 o'clock, and when

members of the family became uneasy
for his safety and search was insti-
i tuted. The body was recovered early
