B. !. Morris sustained slight fall
Tuesday, resulting in injuries that
made an operation necessary. He was
taken to the Baptist Hospital in st.
Louis Tuesday, where an operation
was performed at 10 o'clock Wednes-
day morning. The operation was en-
tirely successful, and The Times is
pleased to report that Mr.. Morris is
now getting along nicely.
Prosecuting Attorney Thos. A. Ma
thews, wife and baby returned Tues
day from Evansville, III, where they
had been called by the serious illness
Of Mr.. Mathews mother, Mrs. Barbara
Mathews, who is in her 18th year and
lis sufferer from paralysis. Life APP
peared to be ebbing low when they left
but they were unable to offer any
relief, and Mr.. Mathews presence was
demanded at home.
DR.. E. G. Simmons, Vice President
and General Manager of the Pan
American Life Insurance Company
of New Orleans, at the recent meeting
of the American Life Convention in
Chicago, representing $50 life insur-
ance companies, was elected President
of that organization. He was also re-
Gently appointed National Chairman
of the Southern Division of the War
Camp Community Service with head
quarters at New Orleans. DR.. Sim
mons is a son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs.
Theo. d. Fisher of Pennington.
George Treauernicht, son of Albert
Trauernicht of this city, who was re-
Gently sent to the Great Lakes train
ing station, arrived home yesterday
on furlough. George says that is one
place where human beings all look
alike, where the sons Of millionaires
are to be, found lined up with just
plain individuals, with picks, spades
and shovels in hand. Even though
they may never before have known
what such implements of war prepar-
edness were for, they are rapidly Sc
curing a working knowledge of their
uses.
The second sprinkling of oil on the
streets of Pennington for the year
is now being sprayed. The first
sprinkling was made rather late in the
spring, when considerable dust had
accumulated, so that the oil did not
have the best possible chance to take
hold. The present oiling should prove
meritorious well into next spring
and prove more beneficial than sin
gle sprinkling could possibly be-
While it is rather "nawsty" for few
days, a little caution will prevent
damage to hardwood floors, carpets,
rugs, etc.
This is the season of the year when
reliable information in regard to the
best fertilizers should be welcome
news to all farmers. We sell only
the best. But another important thing
is that orders should be placed soon in
order to insure your being able to get
it when you need it.-Tetley-Klein

latter part of last week from Grand
Junction, Colo, where he visited Judge
John A. Sprott and family. Mr.. Will
liams reports the Judge is fiourishing
as a green bay tree and that he and
his family are most pleasantly stu.
ated. Judge Sprott is. county road
commissioner, position for which
his energy and go-aheadativeness Pc
culiarly fit him, and he is also doing
large and profitable automobile
business. The Judge, who at one
time was Treasurer of st. Francois
county, and later Presiding Judge of
our County Court, has many friends
here who will be glad to know of his
good fortune and prosperity and who
wish him and his estimable family
continued success.

He has built up lucrative practice
in the Lead Belt, and has had con-
siderable success in the practice of his
profession. Were it the will of the
people of this county that Republi-

The Times does not know where q
more worthy candidate for such posi-
ton could be secured than is Mr
