The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-01-25

tlon 10 May L, 1919, j. w. BaneS, OF
Fredericktown, says: 81 hope that we
will put the Kaiser out of business by
that time, and that the price will be
reduced again" We, too, sincerely
hope that we will have the "fixin's''
on the German arch fiend before that
time expires; but we very much fear
that even with that task accomplished,
the price of material going into the
manufacture of newspapers will never
again be as low in price as formerly.
But Times subscribers can depend on
this paper costing them no more than
the cost of the material to us, plus a
very small margin of profit.
The witchery of winter has worked
wonders on some Of these cold nights,
in tracing most beautiful designs on
the windows of some of the store
buildings about town. Old Jack Frost
is wonderful artist sometimes. On
the front windows of BethePs Cash
Meat Market, for instance, there APP
peared Monday morning the most
marvellous frost pictures, in which one
could see trees and flowers, fields and
streams, birds and beasts, ships on the
ocean and even happy wedding pro-
cession on its way to the alter. That
is, one could if he had considerable
imagination. Just frozen water after
ell! But they say it is just as easy
to get drunk on water as it is on land.
Probably it is.
j. T. Burks, of Charleston, spent
several days this week mingling with
old friends in Pennington and look
ing after business as a side issue. Mr..
Burks is a wheel-horse for work in
any capacity, and whenever he is
present there is something stirring.
He is greatly missed from this local
ity, where he spent many active years
of his life, and The Times is still
hopeful that he may sometime con-
clude to return to his "frst love-,
where the entire community would
greet and welcome him most sincere
ly. He reports his mother, "Aunt
Polly" Burks, who is visiting his
family, as being in good health and
enjoying herself.

Judge w. A. Mitchell, member of
the County Court from the First Dis
trict, is being importuned by many
friends to come out early for re-elec-
ton either as presiding or associate
County Judge. They contend, and
correctly, that the experience he has
gained during the past two years in
looking after the peoples business,
far more abundantly qualities him
to render good and acceptable SER
vice than he has during the past two
years, which, we believe has been en-
tirely satisfactory to the taxpayers in
general. Practically all are of the
opinion, so far as The Times has been
able to diagnose the sentiment, that
Mr.. Mitchell has made a good Judge.
He has not yet indicated, however,
whether or not he will be a candidate
to succeed himself, or for the presid-
ing judgship.

f. C. Barroll has this week COM
pleted the organization of chautau-
qua company, to be known as "The
Colonial Four, which will tour eight
Of the central Northern States dur
ing the coming summer. The COM
pany will include Mr.. Barroll, Mrs.
Frances Shaw, of Pennington, Miss
Geneva Karr. of Metropolis, H., and
Mr.. A. A. Ponta, of Chicago. Court
costume will be used. and the COM
pany will be a saxophone quartette,
doubling" upon other Instruments,
and representing considerable versa
tility in its personnel. Rehaarsals
will probably be held in Pennington,
the company then going to Perry,
Iowa, to open its season. The route
over which the company is contracted
to appear embraces about so dates,
afternoon and evening at each point,
in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas, and is booked
by the Jones Chautauqua System, of
Perry, Iowa. This company of must
cal entertainers will undoubtedly give
good account of themselves during
their first season together on Chau-
tauqua, and no doubt will continue on
the lyceum and chautauqua platform
permanently.
