The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-11-01

rived Wednesday to see his father, B
|. Morris, who is seriously i'll.
B. H. Boyer, who recently went to
Massachusetts, on legal business, left
a notice on his office door reading as
follows: "Gone to Mass. Will re-
turn in ten days" A lady called to
see him, read the notice, and went
away greatly nonplussed. She being
Catholic, could not understand what
kind of a mass would require ten I'M
interrupted days of anyone's time.
Remember Amendment No. 6.
Just before the election tickets were
given out for publication the name of
George Fake, Republican candidate
| for Probate Judge, was withdrawn
and the name of Kossuth c. Weber,
the present incumbent of that office,
was substituted therefor. The gen.
eral supposition is that such change
was made in the hope of Strengthening
the Republican ticket. But that job
is entirely too strenuous to expect one
man to be able to have any luck with
II.
A number of new appointments have
just become effective in the Medical
Advisory Board of st. Francois coun-
ty, whose duty it is to examine appli-
cants for the selectiwe service. This
Board, MS it is now constituted, con-
sists of DR.. C. P. Poston, DR.. B. J.
Robinson, DR.. J. L. Eaton, DR.. Albert
Marshall, DR.. F. L. Keith, DR.. A. F.
Eugas and DR.. C. A. Tetley. The
Board meets at 10 a. m. on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays of each
week.
. Remember Amendment No. 6.
Ernest Lueder, who for a number
of years has been successfully en-
gagged in the harness business in
Pennington, is closing out his stock
to accept factory position in st.
Louis, to which place he will move
his family at once. Owing to the ex-
cessively high prices of all goods in
his line, he feels that working on a
salary will be more satisfactory. His
many friends hope his move will not
be permanent, and that when normal
conditions are again resumed that he
will return and again open up bus
ineKs.
The Times attention has been called
to the following closing paragraph of
double column announcement, which
has been appearing for the past sew
eral weeks in the Desloge Sun, to-
gether with large picture of Robert
Fl. Eaves, who is the Republican NOM
inee for Recorder: '"Mr. EaVes is a
cousin of the late VIM. G.. caves, bet
ter known as "Dad", who was elected
twice for the same Office and is serv-
ing IN that capacity at the present
time" There appears to be some
thing radically wrong with the above,
and while we dislike to interfere with
Mr.. caves in his race, we would like
for-hinl TO explain, even more clearly,
just what that paragraph means. OF
course he can do this, if he is compe-
tent to fiji the Office of Recorder. The
Times is informed sthat VIM. c.
Eaves has been dead something, over |
two years, and while we do not doubt |
but that good old man might be an
officer in hrs present fabitation, we
would like TO know who has Heard
from him. Ii this is an error, it will |
be rather difficult to explain, as it has |
been running just that way for the !
past three or four weeks. Such care
essness is a poor recommendation for
office.
AZ Remember Amendment No. 6.
j. ErArmstrong, the new manager
IF the Farmington-Lead Belt Tel
ephone Co., favored the Times office
with call the last of the week, and
we were pleased to make his acquain-
lance. Mr.. Armstrong came from
Charleston, Mo-, to accept the respon-
'ible position as manager of the COM
,anyl here, and. while the business will
require greater portion of his time
n the Lead Belt, he will live in Far
nington, and has moved his family
INTO the Fleming cottage on West
College Avenue, He is. a practical
telephone manager, and it was the sue
,ess he had made in Charleston that 7
rev the attention of the stockholders
n the company here to him, which
'esulted in an offer being made him
hat as sufficiently alluringto bring
lin here. He is an exceedingly pleas
mt gentleman, and the Times believes
lie is sufficiently diplomatic to
make of the telephone company here
great success. He believes in close
utilization with the patrons of the ,
ompany, finding out their desires in
egard to service, and, if possible, to
Iccomodate them. In this way he I
lopes to forestall criticism that issso
pit to arise in regard to public SER !
ice corporation, The Times bespeaks
or Mr.. Armstrong successful man.
