The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-10-03

The condition Of Mrs. w. S. Miller
is gradually but constantly growing
worse and family and many friends
have dospaired of her recovery. Her
passing is evidently near.
Rev. and Mrs. L. II. Orear and child
returned yesterday to take up another
year Of work in Pennington, and num-
erous friends bid them a hearty wei
come.
The preliminary hearing of Ed
Smith, for the killing Of Raymond AL
baugh at Leadwood on Sept. 18th,
was held yesterday before Squire
Zolman. The hearing, which assumed
the dimensions Of trial, was a very
voluminous affair, and it appeared al
most as if every person who was ac-
quainted either with the dead man or
the accused were in attendance as wit
nesses. Smith was bound over, as it
was plainly to be seen he would De
bound over after the evidence of the
first witness was taken, to circuit
court, without bail.
A Government Examination was
held last Friday in the rooms Of the
Ozark Business College, in Farming
ton. Those who pass this eXamina-
ton will be offered positions paying
from $1,100 to $1,000, with bonus of
500 per month extra, TO begin, with a
guarantee of reasonable advance
m-nt afterwards. This college has no
travelling solicitors or big advertising
eXperUes. This enables it to employ
twice the average number Of instruc-
tons, which enables the student to en-
tcr any day of the week and progress
faster. This is one of the reasons
why this college is getting such a
splendid reputation for results. New
students are entering all the time.
Only few words in regard to the
large and attractive advertisement Of
the Bethel Cash Meat Market in this
J. sue, which you have doubtless seen
and read before now. The large and
most unusual price reduction to be
found in that announcement will be re-
ceived with rejoicing by all, as they
will lead the way to big reduction in
the cost of living, from which every
one has long been suffering. The man
who leads the way in such direction
is entitled to the sincere thanks Of the
public. The meats of every kind that
are being offered ct greatly reduced
prices at Bethel's Market are not odds
and ends, but is the best meat that
money can buy and is absolutely
fresh.
Rev. J. P. Mcdonald, who some
months ago took charge Of the M. E.
Church, South, at Admission, Mo-, re-
Gently returned with his family to
Pennington, where they have again
taken up their permanent residence.
They had several reasons for making
this move, principal among which
were health and school advantages,
as some of the family were usually
sick in the low country to the south.
At the church conference in st. Louis
last week Rev. Mcdonald was re-
turned to the Pennington circuit,
which was most pleasing to himself,
hi family and many friends. While
the pay is not SO remunerative in his
present work as it was at ADMISSION,
there are some things that take pre-
cedence over money in the minds of
the experienced.
The Times joins the entire congre-
gation of the M. E. Church, South,
and many other friends in hearty
thanks and best wishes on the return
of Rev. E. H. Orear to the Farming
ton church for the ensuing year, Dur
ing the past few months he has been
stationed here. since his return from
war service, he h@ already gotten I'M
der way splendid work in Increasing
the interest of this locality in
church work, and the coming year Of
his pastorate here promises to result
in great good in the upbuilding of
church interest in this community.
Both he and his excellent wife are
filing TO a nicely their niche here,
where Rev. Orear is delivering inter-
esting and edifying sermons. We are
also pleased to note that Presiding Ell
der 0. H. Duggins has been returned
to this district, and will doubtless con-
tinue his residence in Pennington, so
that their host of friends will continue
to. euieE, the pleasure and receive the
benefit Nf their association. N
