The st. Francois Motor Co. sold
FIVE Fords and one Overland automo-
biles Wednesday, which does not APP
pear to be half bad in these days Of
rumored hard times and financial
stringency. Those interested in that
company must certainly be wishing
for continuance of the present DEM
ocratic "hard times"
In mentioning the removal of Ed
T. Noland's insurance Office last week,
The Times stated that he is local
agent for the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company. In that we were mis-
taken, as he is special agent for the
Equitable Life Insurance Co., with
authority to do business wherever he
may choose. But what we primarily
intended to say was that Mr.. No
lands new Office is splendid quarters,
which fact we again desire to impress.
Remember we are offering hundreds
of dollars worth of seasonable win
ter goods at almost your own price, as
we must have the room for our
spring lines that are now coming in.

A Times reporter the other day
called at the wagon factory Of Isen-
man & Sons, and found them engulf-
ed in the receipt of new farm ma
chinery, buggies and lumber for use
in their factory. Among their re-
ceipts was a car load of selected cot
tonwood, to be used in making wagon
beds. Most of this lumber is from
16 to 20 inches in width, perfectly
clear, with not the semblance of a
knot in it. Laid down in their sheds
it cost them about $50 per 1000 feet,
and it is constantly going higher.

w. A. Mitchell, of Esther, Demo-
cratic candidate for County Court
Judge from the First District, was in
Pennington Monday morning and gave
this Office an order for candidate
cards. Mr.. Mitchell has been exceed
ingly busy with his farm work, re-
porting farm laborers unusually hard
to get, owing to the great demand for
men in the mines. He expects to get
actively into the race soon, however,
when he hopes to see and talk per-
sonally with as many voters as posi-
BILE before the primary election date
rolls round.

Potatoes and seed Oats. We have just
unloaded car of very fine seed pota-
toes right from Minnesota, such as
Red River, Ohio, Red Cut Rose and
Triumphs. We also have both North

BARN AND ANIMALS
DESTROYED BY FIRE

R. l.. Williams, worthy and en-
ergetic young farmer near Sprott, had
his barn destroyed by fire last Satur-
day, together with two teams, cow and
calf, several hogs, and all his stock
feed. The animals were all shut up
in the barn and when the fire was
discovered about half past eleven
o'clock, it was so far advanced that
it was impossible to get any of the
live stock out. The barn was new
hiilding and had but recently been
finished. Tho loss is in the neighbor-
hood of $500 or $4,000, and as there
was no insurance it falls very heav-
lily on Mr.. Williams.

The resignation of Frank Highley
as City Marshal is regretted by his
many friends. The cause of Franks
resignation was that he has been Of
fered a more lucrative position as a
driller in the mining fields. His sue
cessor as Marshal is Chas. Adams, an
old and tried hand on the job. Charlie
has earned the reputation of being
one of the best and most efficient
Marshals Pennington has ever had.
His acceptance of this position will
cause the various candidates for
Sheriff to take long breath Of re-
lief, as Charles friends have for
some time been bringing strongest
possible pressure to bear on him to
make the race for Sheriff. His ac-
ceptance of the appointment for Mar
shall means that he has decided not
to enter the race for Sheriff.

The Value of a Dollar

depends altogether on how difficult it is to
obtain.
Dollars saved now while conditions arc
prosperous. wages high and steady en-
ployment universal, are easily spared.
Therefore save them now when it is easy
and you will have those dollars and the
interest on them, some day in the future
when conditions are less favorable. when
you are sick or out of work and when a
dollar will have a far greater value.
