BISMARCK TO HAVE
NEW STATION

Mr.. Alexander Robertson, Chief
Operating Officer, and ether officials
of the Missouri Pacific-lron Mountain
Railway Company were in Bismarck
Monday, and by appointment met the
business men and citizens, and exhib-
tied the plans for the splendid new
Passenger station and other contem-
plated improvements of their proper
ty at that place. The new station
building will be of red brick with tile
roof, and contain spacious offices and
baggage and waiting rooms.
The matter of the location of the
new station was gone into thoroughly
and the site selected by the company,
about block south of the present
building, was agreed to be as conven-
lent and fair a location as could be
made, with reference to the interests
of both the company and the citizent.
The officials stated that work on
these improvements would probably
begin in about thirty days, and would
include, besides the station building,
an eight-stall round-house and new
coal chute, to take the place of the
one burned about two years ago. An
other feature of the improvement will
be brick paved platform, 725 feet
long, extending south from the pres
ent crossing.

is forceful and logical speaker, and
is possessed of a quiet Irish humor
pathos and fervor pleasing To hear and
holding the attention of his audience
but one of the greatest charms of his
discourses is his faculty of clearly
presenting the Scriptures and making
old Bible characters live in modern
speech.
Last Sunday afternoon a great
mems meeting was held and his mes
sage gripped the hearts Of the several
hundred men who were out, and there
was splendid response to it, fourteen
men expressing a desire to live better
lives.
Sunday night the largest congrega-
ton ever assembled in the church
heard him attentively for an hour
The "Pat Davis Choir" Of 200aboys and
girls is strong factor in making the
music feature of the meeting.
The meeting will continue for two
weeks and cordial invitation is eX-

pride. Refreshments were served.

]. D. Wood of st. Louis and Miss
Grace Hamilton of Pennington were
married last Sunday afternoon. May
81, 1916, at the home Of the brides
mother, Rev. j. M. Bailey officiating.

being present. The bride is one of

ular young women, and the groom a
young man of sterling quality and
character. They will make their
home for the present with the brides
mother, and Mr.. Wood will probably
associate himself with Mr.. Relish
Hamilton's mercantile establishment
at Flat River. The young people have

LET BEAUTY REIGN

There are great number of vacant
lots in the city, also many unkempt
alleys and side streets, that might be
made more attractive with but little
effort and less expense.
We are in such haste to show saw
ing in our expenditures that we over
look the Importance of identifying
the waste places of the community.
A farmer would feel ashamed if he
had dirty and ragged fence corners, or
had, year after year, as much idle
ground, in spots and patches, scatter
ed over his farm as Pennington has
idle and unsightly vacant lots. He
would be ashamed for two very good
reasons: that he hates waste, and that
he loves the beautiful; that's why he
keeps his fence corners cleaned out
and the hollyhocks in the front yard.
If we have beautiful thoughts, if
our minds are given to contemplation
of beauty in any form, then we cannot
but feel a repugnance at the sight of
that which is soiled, smutted, dirty,
unkempt and unclean. If we have the
true sense of economy we cannot but
feel hatred for the wasted spaces
that mar the beauty and so signally
proclaim the sluggishness of thought
and the absense of a snse of the beau
tiful in a community that permits
such.
It has been truly said: "The apparel
oft proclaims the man." and it is just
as true that the appearance too otter
proclaims the community or city. The
writer recalls a trip through South
west Missouri some years ago; as the
train wendell its way through
rather large town, he noticed thu
cleanliness of the streets and alleys
the well trimmed shade trees and Tho
yards filled with flowers. Many othel
passengers commented on the neatnes'
and beauty of the town. When thu
train drew near the station the portel
called out "Carthage;" later on, HI
| learned that Carthage is noted for it
beauty; is in fact, said to be the mos
beautiful city in the Middle West, anC
by far the most beautiful city in TIN
State. Many things of interest trans
pire in Carthage, things that get int
the metropolitan press dispatches

he hears the name Carthage, he think
of the beautiful city.
Pennington could be made NOR
beautiful city than Carthage, for ma

verdure that admirably lends itself +
identifying; our level topography, on
magnolia trees, the abundance of fol
iage of all kinds, and the almost my
RAIDS Of flowers and roses, places a
our easy command the material wit
which to do this.

Former Governor Hadley has gone
to New Mexico to recuperate his
health. 1t is said that his condition
is not serious, but that a bad cold
contracted prior to the Christmas hol-
idays has retarded the progress he
had made in regaining his strength.
His t&ip has started political gossip,
to the effect that his departure for
New Mexico is an indication that he
is out of the race for the Republican
nomination for United States Sena-
tor, but that he will be favorably con-
sidered as one of the "big four" del
egates to the National Republican
Convention, and will be in line for the
Presidential or Vice Presidential nom
nation if things happen to come his
way. But whatever the political as
pect of his trip to the Southwest, it is
to be hoped that he will regain ply
steal health and strength.

THANKS, AwFULLY!

The Times editor has received an
invitation to "attend the Seventeenth
Annual Banquet Association of the
Young Republicans of Missouri" ETC.,
at Kansas City, on February 14th'
In the lower left hand corner, in small
print, appears "plates $3.50 Each"
We are as yet unable to decide that
such invitation was intended for US.
If it was, then we are unable to ex-
plain away several apparent little dis
crepancies-anyway to us they appear
as discrepancies.
In the first place, The Times editor
has never been on terms of closest
fellowship with the "Young Repub-
licans of Missouri"-bread breaking
and wine drinking.
The next obstacle that occurs in
this Invitation" is that while we have
often supped at Democratic banquets,
it has been as an invited guest, on
which occasion we were not asked, or
even expected, to Contribute" of even
the value of years cash subscrip-
ton.
The fact that these "Young Repub-
licans" expect US to pay the price of
two and one-half years cash sub
scription for the privilege they hope
to enjoy of our company at their lit
tie party is sufficient, we feel, to
cause us to decline their kind invita-
tions with thanks. We have never yet
contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund, nor do we at present feel
that we ever will, knowingly.
Then, too, we have been eating
pretty regularly under the present
Democratic administration, and being
in normal condition, as we are, we do
not feel that we could do justice to
$3.50 worth of Republican east"
We hope, however, that our absence
will cause no serious confusion in the
arrangements of the "Young Repub-
leans"
