Close of Revival

The union revival meetings, which
were held in the tabernacle on the
PIN lots in Pennington for six weeks,
came to close Sunday night. During
these meetings a great religious
awakening had been aroused, which
is believed will continue to the inf
mite good of this town and county.
Several hundred souls were reclaim
ed, most of whom have already con-
nected themselves with some religious
organization, and the spiritual uplift
of this community is most noticeable.
Among other good things that has
been accomplished through these
meetings has been the formation of
an exceptionally strong and vigorous
Gospel Team, which is composed Of
about two hundred members-all men
will remain permanent. This
organization already has course of
action and work mapped out, and their
awakening appears to be such as will
keep them constantly active in the
good work they have taken up. Burke
and Hobbs, who were in active charge
Of the revival, left Immediately for
Kennett, Mo-, where they entered at
once, with their customary zeal, into
another revival meeting.

The organization Of this church
was effected August 3, 1916, by COLI
ony from North Carolina, and we be-
lieve is the first Presbyterian congre-
cation organized in what was then
the Louisiana Territory. Some of the
twenty names which appear among
the organizers are familiar, as many
of their descendants live in this sec
ton. Among them are the McCor-
micks, Sloans, Robinsons, Boyds,
Alexanders and Stevensons.

Cemetery Work

Miss Azzie McMullin has handed us
the following list of additional donors
to the local chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution for the
improvement of the X. of P. Cemetery
and keeping it in order, work which
the chapter has unselfshly undertake
en-; George Mackley, Soc; John Mack
ley, SOC; A. P Mackley, $500; Mrs.
w. R. Alexander, $100; Mrs. VIM.
Clay, Independence, Mo-, $500; the
Haw family, S400; Mrs. Fred Giles
pie, SOC; Mrs. Hortense Dalton Gra-
ham, $500; Mrs. Frank Alexander,
25c.
The ladies of the chapter have al
ready done much work towards put
ting the cemetery in a presentable
shape, but there is still much more to
do, as they want to put in walks and
fix up the driveways, as well as see
that the graves and lots are kept in
good condition. It is good work in
which they should be encouraged by
our people, and especially by those
who have loved ones and friends
buried there and all who own lots.
If you would help on the work don't
wait to be asked for donations, but
send any amount you feel like giving
to Miss Azzie McMullin through the
Pennington Post Office.

there puts them in fine fettle to thor
oughly enjoy an appetizing feed. And
those French Villagers appear to live
to eat, and insist in all diners with
them having more, even after they are
LOADED to the guards"
These annual occasions have for
years been a part Of the life of this
community, and with the passing
years has come a knowledge of how to
prepare for the crowd, no matter what
it's size may be. So that after all
had eaten until they could eat no
more, there still seemed to be great
kettles, barrels and baskets of eat
ables that had never been touched.
In this way everyone on the grounds
contributed their mite to the Catho-
lie church organization, under whose
auspices these annual events are Civ
en--for French Village is a strong
Catholic community.
Another very pleasing diversion
was afforded when Francis A. Ben
ham of this city, in an eulogistic man
ner, introduced Hon. Walter L. Hens
ley as the speaker of the day. For
about forty minutes Mr.. Hensley held
his hearers in rapt attention, dwell
ing on the devastated havoc now be-
ing wrought by the world war, in
which all countries involved are being
rayished, not only of their manhood
and wealth, but Of theira civilization
and intelligence, is vel. Yet, in spite
of such inexpressibiy blighting havoc,
he said that, so far as this country is
concerned, the results of next No
vember's election meant more to the
citizens of the United States than
does the results of that war.
He said the Democrats had every
thing good on their side to fight for,
and that so long as President Wilson
in the Presidential chair
the people of this country would con
tinue to enjoy the greatest blessing
any nation can njoy-peace-so long
as it can be secured through conserva-
tive and wise craftsmanship. He said
this was pre-eminently a Democratic
year, every sign pointing to an over
endorsement of the Wilson
administration, both in the State and
Nation. 1t was easily discerned that
Mr.. Hensley's speech met with the
hearty approval Of practically all
those who heard him.

GREAT GATHERING
AT FRENCH VILLAGE
That Splendid Old Settlement Again
Acquits Itself Most Creditably in
Its Hospitable Holiday Spirit

That hospitable old settlement of
French Village, nesting in the foot
hills of the 0zarks, in the extreme
northeastern corner of st. Francois
county, last Saturday again upheld
its well-earned reputation of giving
an annual picnic which, in point of
development Of the true holiday and
frolicsome spirit, is second to none, it
is claimed by those who have long
attended these annual frolics, in Mis-
souri, or any other State.
To reach this somewhat secluded
spot from Pennington means ride
Of about twenty-five miles, but the
roads generally are fair for an auto
and the trip can be made with assured
safety, in little more than an hous.
There is no other way to reach that
inviting neighborhood than by wagon
or auto road, as it is located about is
miles from a railroad.
The drive there is most enjoyable,
as it takes one through some Of the
finest farming lands in this county.
The Kaleidoscope view the writer had
of that country last Saturday inn
pressed us with the fact that abundant
harvests are in prospect generally
throughout that section Of country,
with the addition of one or two time
ly rains. While along the entire route
moisture was beginning to be needed,
little or no damage was apparent from
want of rain.
Finally the picnic grounds we're
reached, where were assembled in a
shady grove 1900 or 1000 people, with
all the amusement and refreshment
stands that usually go with picnics, and
everyone appeared to be having real
good time. 1t was more like a home
coming event, where all were ac-
quainted with everybody, many of
whom had perhaps not met during the
past year, thus adding greater pleas
ure through months of separation. 1t
is such meetings, among staid, sub
stantial citizenry, that has, in such
great measure. added to the fame of
the French Village picnics.
But there is at least one other dis
tinguishing feature to these annual
gatherings, that always keeps them
fresh in the minds of those who an
nually attend them. That is the
knowledge that here can always be
secured one of the best dinners it is
possible to secure, and the long jour-

Telephone Com
pany Not to Blame

c. R. Pratt, president and general
manager of the Lead Belt and Farm
ington Telephone Company, called
Monday to tell us that The Times did
the management an injustice in its
article of last week under the caption
of objectionable Negligence, in
which his company was held responsi-
BILE for the loose wire that was thrown
across the electric railroad trolley
wire aud attached to the wire fence
of the Clardy lot, resulting in q dead
ly charge of the fence. Mr.. Pratt tells
us that the wire in question was one
of a telephone line to DeLassus be-
longing to the electric railroad, with
which the telephone company had
nothing to do. The wire was broken
when the Pennington municipal au-
thorities were having the trees trim
med that interfered with the muni-
cipal lighting wires. The end was
thrown over into the lot and eventu-
ally sagged down until it came in con-
tact with the trolley wire. The line
man Of the telephone company OBJ
served it and gave notice of the situ-
hbADll w DbAiAE VIC WIZ ilttQ w lO WIFI
the dangerous wire. We are glad to
make this amende, as The Times all
ways is when its information is er-
roneous.
In the course of conversation Mr..
Pratt referred to a former criticism
of the telephone service in Farming
ton which appeared in The Times.
He said that it had long been the pur-
pose of his company to give Farm
ington an improved telephone services
and that the contract for a modern
switchboard and telephone receivers
had been made some months since.
These were to have been delivered a
couple of months ago by the con-
tracing company, but for some reason
it had defaulted in furnishing the
switchboard and receivers at the date
agreed upon, thus delaying the tel
,ephone company in installing the new
equipment. Mr.. Pratt expects soon
to be able to meet all the requirements
and give our town much improved
telephone service, which he recognizes
is not all that it should be. All of
which is good news, for our people
will certainly appreciate any change
for the better and hope that it may
soon be made.

THE STATE PRIMARY
F. D. Gardner, Democrat, far in Lead for
Governor, Atkinson Second--Lamm
Leads Among Republicans

Returns from Tuesdays primary
over the State are incomplete, but suf-
ficient to indicate with considerable
certainty who are the nominees for
the principal State offices.
Gardner, Democratic candidate,
leads his nearest opponent, Atkinson,
by about $4,000 votes, yesterdays re-
turns giving Gardner 67,720 and At
kinson S1,67S. There will be some
changes, as the returns from outlying
districts are received, but it is not be-
lieved that Atkinson can by any
means catch up with Gardner.
Lamm, the Republican candidate for
Governor, leads his nearest oppo-
nent, Swanger, by $4,000 votes,
Lamm being credited with 67,137 and
Swanger with 42,228. The latter will
have to make large gains in the re-
turns yet to come in to get any way
near Lamm.

the Democratic and Republican parties
