The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-01-18

has been head miller at the Farming
ton Milling Co., resigned his position
there last Friday and has accepted the
position of millright in large es-
tablishment at Steelville, ILL.,, for
which place he will leave this week.
During his long residence in Farm
ington Mr.. Schliesser has earned for
himself the reputation of being one
Of our best citizens, and his many
friends will sincerely regret his de-
parture. About year ago he saf-
fered the misfortune of losing his
left hand in the machinery while at
work in the mill, but such loss seemed
hardly to incapacitate him, nor cause
him to lose hardly days time from
his work.

Now is the time to renew your
Times subscription at the old price of
$1.00 year. The present month will
obliterate that price, and the new
price of $1.50 year will be inaug-
urated on Feb. LIST. There will be no
deviation from the price after it goes
into effect, so please do not blame the
management of this paper if you are
compelled to pay $3.50 after that date.
You now have the chance OF extend
your subscription one or. more years
into the future, but that time is rap
idly passing. We are not insisting
that you make such extension of your
subscription, but are giving you fair
warning before the rate advances.
But perhaps it will suit you better to
pay the advanced rate of $3.50 per
year, which more nearly represents
the actual value of a years subscrip-
ton to The Times. If that is true,
such course will be entirely agree
able to The Times management.
J. J. Roberts and little daughter re-
turned Sunday from Baxter Springs,
Kan, where Mr.. Roberts spent sew
erai days last week looking after bus
mess, where he has extensive inter-
ests. He reports, however, that the
very severe weather made business
transactions practically impossible.
Coming from Joplin to st. Louis on
the return, trip, which ordinarily is
ten-hour run, required thirty hours,
which was exceedingly tiresome to
passengers generally, though little
Miss Roberts enjoyed every moment
of the experience. He tells of sew
eral passengers trying to decide upon
a suitable punishment for the Kaiser,
should he be taken alive, all of which
seemed inadequate punishment, until
one gentleman suggested that he
should be forced to travel 10000 miles
on the Frisco system, which punish
ment seemed to be satisfactory to all
the party.
We have three cash buyers for
farms in st. Francois county, ranging

dollars. Must sell them at once or
lose them. We can sell your farm.
Write full description and price first
letter. Do it now. r. A. Swink

Col. Thos. B. Straughan, who is
presiding Judge of the County Court
Of Ste. Genevieve county, was an ap-
preciated caller at The Times Office
Friday and advanced his subscription
to Jan. /, 1921. He also subscribed
for the paper to be sent to his bro
Their, A. r. Straughan, at Heisson,
Wash. Since he has been County
Court Judge, Col. Straughan has
earned the very creditable distinction
of having been largely instrumental
in the building of more good roads in
that county than has ever been &C.
complished during any past similar
period in that county's history. While
he is too busy to hold office, that NOM
nation was forced upon him, but
when he accepted it he went in to
win, and after winning the election
he has continued to take time from
his personal business in his efforts to
serve the people in the best possible
way. AS he never does things by
halves, the consequence is that he has
served them in his present official ca
pacity as perhaps no man in that
county ever did before. His friends
are legion, not only throughout Ste.
Genevieve county, but also in st.
Francois and other adjacent counties,
as they know that he will often pus
aside his own work, no matter how
important il may be, in order to as
sist his friends. When Tom Straughan
is for thing in Ste. Genevieve county
the chances are largely in favor of
such thing being consummated.
