Lieut., John McIarnev who bo

heut' JoHH MCLdrHcy, VIM HAS
been in the medical department of
Uncle Sans service for the past sew
eral months, stationed at Georgia, ar
rived here Monday evening for visit
with his mother, Mrs. ]. H. Orten. He
is a former Pennington boy, and his
many friends here were pleased to
see him. He with his honorable dis
charge from the army service, left
yesterday for his present home in
Brookfield, where he has established
splendid medical practice.
The attention of The Times manage
ment has been called to "a Page of
Thanks" from the Russell-Whitener
Implement Company, of Sikeston, in
the Herald of that place. The page is
well filled with comparisons of bus
mess of that firm for the past two
years, showing a wonderful increase
in the amount of farm machinery sold
last year. John G. Russell, a member
OF this firm, was formerly business
man of this city, where he is still re-
membered by friends as an enterpris-
ing and energetic citizen. His many
good friends here will be pleased
to learn of his prosperity in his pres
ent home.

Marbury attended U. S. District
Court in St. Louis Monday, looking af-
ter the interest of clients in the liti-
cation now starting to compel several
Of the large mining corporations to
pay their taxes in this county, which
they have failed and refused to do.
A family reunion was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. II. A. Coffield
here last Sunday. A sumptuous din
ner was served and the family gather
ing was greatly enjoyed. Those pres
ent were Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Morris
and family, and Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Forshe and family of Desloge, Mr. and
Mrs. VIM. Patterson and sons of near
Three Rivers, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Muir
rill and son, Glenwood, of Pennington,
Mrs. Edna Seibert and "Aunt" Belle

There seems to be no end to the
troubles of the three airplanes which
passed over Bismarck last Sunday
and alighted at Ironton. After rest
ing and replenishing their gasoline
tanks they started on their journey
southwark. One of the engines had
some trouble and finally the plane
made wreck of itself. Fortunately
no one was hurt. In course of tame
the inspectors came, made investiga-
tions, and shipped the injured plane
to the factory. On Wednesday he told
the pilots of the other planes to pro-
coed on their journey. On attempt
ing to rise one of the planes sailed
into treetop. Of course there was
another disabled plane. But again
good fortune attended the eviators.
They caught onto the limbs Of the tree
and climbed down unhurt.-Bismarck
Gazette.
Mr.. and Mrs. V. A. O'Bannon and
family and Mr.. O'Bannon's sister,
Mrs. Eskridge, Of Iron county, were
here Saturday and Sunday. Their
reason for remaining over was for
two or three members of the family
to have dental work performed. They
live in, or near, Enough, in the west
ern end of Iron county. As we I'M
derstand it, Enough is hardly large
enough to take in another moderate
sized family. Just why Enough was
given such handicap in name we
have been unable to discover. Per-
haps it was case of 'me and my
wife, my son John and his wife, us
four, and no more Anyway, the
town evidently has not taken on
much flesh since it was named, as
our information is that there is a
saw-mill, store, blacksmith shop,
! and perhaps a score of people in
that neighborhood. But there is in
that community just what Mr.. O'Ban-
non most needs in his business-plen-
ty Of good timber--he being Success
fully engaged in the .saw-mill and
stave business. But if there are many
citizens in that community Exc Mr..
O'Bannon and his splendid family, we
know it is good place to live.
