The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-10-24


Mrs. W. c. billiard was a St. Louis
visitor Tuesday.
o. J. Mayberry drove to st. Louis
Tuesday on business, returning the
same day.
A receptiono the U. D. C. was held
Monday evening at the home of Mrs.
o. J. Mayberry, Complimentary 10
Mrs. Scrutchfeld, who was visiting
in this city, and who organized this
chapter several years ago. 1t proved
to be most enjoyable evening for all.
Mrs. G. f. Scrutchfield left Wedness
day on her return to her present home
in Pittsburg, Pa, after visit with
Pennington friends. DR.. Scrutchfield,
who Isl still in the Government SER
vice, is in a large hospital in Pitts
burg where many soldiers, who have
returned mentally or physically de-
| fcient from shell-shock or other caus-
es, are being treated and many are
being restored.
An old man giving his name as
Snelson appeared before the County
Court Tuesday, stating that he had
been chopping wood in Ste. Genevieve
county, though he appeared to be
about 80 years old. He stated that he
had two sons living in Pennington,
neither of whom would keep him, and
a Daughter living in Flat River, who
was not prepared to keep him. The
Court had him turned over to Mode
Coffman, superintendent Of the County
Infrmary.
The Daylight Saving Law provides
that all clocks must be turned back
one hour to indicate 100 a. m. on next
Sunday, October 26th. However, The
Times would not advise anyone re-
naming UP, until such an hour for
that special purpose. Turning back
the clock or watch on the previous
evening, or even the next morning,
win answer all purposes. In fact we
would ordinarily strenuously advise
against staying up until the early
morning hour. Few good purposes
can be served by those who fail to he
in hed at that hour.
This week we unloaded car Of
barrel and sack salt-hice fresh goods
l-Keins.
The Times management is sorry to
learn that its splendid old friend,
Capt. w. j.. Elledge, who is carrying
on splendid work in developing at
least a part of the enormous wealth
he is confident lies beneath Iron Noun
tain, was seriously injured in st.
Louis the last Of the week on his re-
turn from the East to negotiate a
loan that was needed for properly de-
veloping that property. While this
paper has been unable to learn the
exact nature of the accident which
Capt. Elledge sustained, we under
stand that he had leg broken, and
will doubtless be laid up for some
time.
You should go into Bethel's Meat
Market if your appetite is sluggish
A look in his Refrigerator Show Case,
at the many fine cuts of meats of va
rious kinds, will certainly stimulate
your digestive glands and cause hun
ger to overtake you.
J. C. Williams Hudson car was TAX
en- out of his garage recently, while
he and his wife were on their farm
and after it had evidently served the
purpose of the party, or parties taking
It, il was returned to its rightful quar-
tters. Before it was taken out it had
Ebeen lacked up off its tires, but who
ever 1t was that used it failed to &c
to that trouble on returning it, which
fact made it quite evident that the car
had been wrongfully used. 1t may
not be known to the party, or parties
guilty of this, that such act consti-
tutes a felony, with severe penalty il
they are discovered. While they may
be able to evade the penalty of their
act this time-we do not know--yet
if they have desire to retain their
liberty, one thing they had better
"cut out" is stealing automobiles, ev-
en- for short ride. There are toe
many chances to locate the guilty
parties to mako this plan of outlawry
safe.
