We notice in the list of those who
have passed the State bar cxamina-
ton the name of Carl Trauernicht of
Pennington. We have not been in
formed as to where Carl will locate,
but trust that it will be here.
Ward Fleming left Wednesday on a
motorcycle trip to Houston, Texas,
where Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Buck are
living. Ward is an expert motorcy-
Gle rider and we predict that he will
make the trip in record time.
The Times is anxious each week to
issue spicy and interesting local
pcge. If each of our subscribers
would hand us in one news item,
what newsy paper we could issue.
Try it for a few weeks and mark the
change.

Heinz Pickles in barrels, Sweet,
Sour and Dill, can be secured at Beth
els Cash Meat Market. You should
not fail to try them. They are most
appetizing.
You should not hesitate to invite
people to Pennington because we
know they will be delighted with its
people, delighted with it's laws, de-
lighted with its school privileges, and
delighted with the moral element that
exists and is largely sustained by the
people.
Four different railroads, the Bur-
lington, Union Pacific, Wabash and
Santa Fe, were supplied with teleg-
raphers by the Chillicothe Business
College last week, while two young
lady students were placed with the
Western Union in Kansas City and
Emporia.
"Nigara Falls being out of date"
says the Boston Transcript, "why
don't the lovers spend their honey
moon at Bliss, Idaho; Joy, KY; De-
light, Kan; or Paradise, CALI" The
reason is, of course, that Higgins,
Ark, and Kissee Mills, Mo-, are far
preferable.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. O'Sullivan re-
turned from st. Louis the first Of the
week, after a two years. residence
there, to again resume their residence

ture has arrived and been installed in

If the reader wants to settle in a
wide-awake community, all he has to
do is to look at the local newspapers.
A wide-awake, well supported home
newspaper is always associated with
good schools, churches, active bust
ness and intelligent people. 1t never
fails. No business man or pioneer in
any community takes cny better in
vestment than in the support of a
home newspaper.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. Luttrell, of
Jonesboro, Ark, arrived in Farming
ton the last of the week, having driv-
en- through in their car, and remained
until Wednesday morning as guests of
Mrs. Luttrell's sisters, Mrs. John
Gall, Mrs. Myrtle Batson and Mrs.
Peat Caller. Mr.. and Mrs. Luttrell
tlcn resumed what will be an extend
ed motor trip through Oklahoma and
Texas, stopping as often and as long
as their fancy may dictate.
81 didn't think" how common the
excuse. Those words have decided
the fate of many a young person
starting out to earn living. "Did
you attend to that order today?"
"No, l forgot. | didn't think" If
there were more, interest taken in the
work there would be less forgetting
and neglect. Only the lazy ones will
persistently put up such worthless
excuse as II didn't think" 1t pays to
think, and the successful man is a
thinker.
Just now there is altogether too
much solicitude on the part of par
ents as to what they will do with their
boys, which leaves the impression on
the minds of the young gentlemen of
the period that something has got to
be done for them, instead Of encour-
aging the more manly thought that
they must do for themselves. There
lis no reason to suppose that the chan
ncls to competence and wealth are
fewer and more difficult than they
were years ago.
What citizen is there in our town
who does not feel some degree of self
pride in its welfare? That cannot call
to mind some meritorious advantage
which should be spoken of to advant-
age whenever an opportunity is af-
forded them !? Who is there among
cur people who has not the patriotism
in their veins to stand boldly up in
defense of and contradict any state
ment made that he knew would prove
injurious to our town and people
Who does not wish to have it said Of
them when they are gone that the
town and community in which they
lived has been made some better by
them having lived in itf
