itor in Flat River Wednesday.
Attorney J. A. Malugen, of Ronne
Terre, transacted business here We'd
nesday.
A crowd of young folks went on an
outing to Iron Mountain Lake We'd
nesday afternoon.
Carson Morris, Harvey Halle and
Bryan Murrill were Fredericktown
visitors the first of the week.
| A special attraction at the Monarch
theatre Friday evening proved to be
of unusual interest. 1t consisted of
rs slides that had been captured from
the Germans in the st. Mihiel drive,
which Sergt. Roy N. Gordon, 164
Hdqrs. Field Artillery seth Division,
brought home with him. Many of
these slides were illustrative of the
propaganda Germany used in attempt
ing to keep up the morale of her
troops. They presented" many
"scenes" that had been STAGED" for
the occasion.
An unusually heavy deluge of rain
fell in this vicinity for about an hour
Wednesday evening, which was pre-
coded and accompanied by a heavy
wind storm and vivid electrical dis
play. For time the clouds had
cyclonic appearance, and the GOODNESS
of the wind indicated severe hail
storms in the Vicinity. But no infor-
nation has reached The Times that
this section of the State has suffered,
either from cyclone or hail. About
all the damage that has been reported
is the blowing down of corn and wheat
shocks.
j. X. Jones orders his paper changed
to Stotts City, Mo-, near which place
he will conduct hog farm, raising
the famous Duroc-Jersey hogs. Mr..
Jones has successfully filled the po-
sition of District Emergency Agricul-
tural Agent for the past year, and
during that time has made wide ac-
quaintance of the farmers of st. Fran
co.'s and the other counties of his dis
trict, who, with his numerous friends
in Pennington and neighboring towns,
are sorry to see him leave st. Fran
co.'s county, but wish him well in his
new enterprise.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. T. Halle and
daughters, Misses Agnes and Willette,
left early Tuesday morning on their
motor trip to their new home in Anne
liza, Fla, an island suburb of Fernan-
dina. The start was delayed day
owing to heavy rains having been re-
ported in the southeast, which was
feared would make the dirt roads be-
tween here and Cape Girardeau
heavy and unpleasant travelling. This
excellent family was besieged with
friends the last few days here, wishing
them an excellent trip, happy resi-
dcnce in their new home.
Rev. E. H. Orear, the new pastor
of the M. E. Church, South, has for
the past month been devoting the
Sunday evening services to series
of talks, or sermons, on the war.
These sermons are based on actual
Experience, as Rev. Orear was III the
front lines for number of months as
chaplain These talks have been
most interesting to all who have been
privileged to hear them, and have
served as a most favorable introduc-
ton of Rev. 0rear to Pennington peo-
pie, among whom he is already quite
a favorite.
Pennington has an ordinance that
fixes the speed limit at Is miles per
hour. Some automobiles 10 not
seem to know this, or either willfully
and maliciously violate said ordinance.
Wednesday afternoon as a Farming
ton lady citizen was crossing Liberty
street, one of these willful and ma
licious violators, who is reported to
have been going at least 30 miles
per hour, narrowly missed running in
to her. This is many, many times
that similar occurrences have taken
place, and the practice should be
stopped before some serious accident
occurs. Race tracks are provided to
race upon, SO why encroach upon the
rights of others by risking both your
life and theirs by racing up and down
the city streets.
There is every advantage in trading
with the firms that advertise. The
noneadvrtiser who tells you he can sell
cheaper because he spends no money
for advertising shows by that very
argument how little he knows of mod
ern methods of merchandising. You,
yourself, know he is wrong. Do you
ever go out Of town to trade? II you
do, you do not go into the city and hunt
|up the stores whose advertisements
you have never seen. You hurry to
the store your are familiar with
4 through their advertising. Ask your
self, then, if ADVERTISING pays. 1t
lpays the store, and it pays the custo-
liner, fg
