Russell Doss and family, who moved
to Miami, Okla, about two years ago,
returned yesterday to Pennington to
again take up their permanent resi-
dence here. Russell was drawn to the
Miami mining field while the great

has convinced him that Pennington
is the best place to cast his fortunes,
after all.

While driving home from Lead
wood in his Ford roadster Sunday af-
ternoon, Mayor Baldwin was run into
on the road, north of Bismarck, by a
woman driving a car. One of the
front wheels on the Mayors car was
demolished and an axel bent. Mr..
Baldwin says he gave the woman all
the road but still she pursued him.
Ironton Register.
"It's a waste of time" says a prac-
teal roadmaker quoted in. the Wash
ington Farmer, "to do road dragging
after the roads have dried up. They
will usually be wavy and full of holes
all summer. Those dragged while
wet will have relatively smooth sur
faces" The road man refers to use
simple plank drag that cost him
$1.50, and he has made the highways
around his home nearly as smooth as
a pavement. While this advice would
not fit all kinds of roads, it does apply
to conditions in great many sections.
The Times has overlooked special
mention of the recent appointment OF
Col. Henry G. Bell, the excellent and
versatile editor OF the Potosi indie
pendent, as a member of the Board of
Managers, to succeed Dr. Chasteen,
of Bloomfield. The appointment of
Col. Bell to such responsible position
| is we'll merited compliment, and will
be most satisfactory to the host of
friends of that splendid gentleman,
whom The Times editor feels honored
to call his friend. His appointment is
regarded as a strengthening of the
Board.
DR.. Frank L. Long returned to
Pennington Wednesday from over
seas hospital service. He came to
look after personal affairs before
joining his wife in Pasadena, Calf,
where she has been since his enlist
| ment in the army service. DIR. Long
resigned his position as physician in
State Hospital No. more than a
year ago to answer his country's call.
Both he and his excellent wife have
many warm friends here, who will
wish them continued happiness and
prosperity wherever they may decide
to locate.
Rev. ]. P. Mcdonald, wlfe recently
received a call to preach in Mississip-
pi county, returned the first of the
week expecting at least part of his
family to accompany him to their new
home. He expected, however, to
leave his daughter in school here UNI
til its close. Rev. Mcdonald is well
pleased with that country, though he
reports an excess of water over the
landscape at present. In fact he re-
ports water, water everywhere
throughout that lowland. Yet he has
abundant faith in the fertility of that
country to produce abundantly after
"the tide goes out"
Geo. M. Raines and Carl Trauer-
NIGHT, who were employed at the State
Capital during the session of the Leg
islature, have both returned home.
Geo. arrived the first of the week, bet
ter than ever satisfied with his home
town after alternating through the
winter in Missouri's Athens. Carl,
who was private secretary to Sena-
tor Belkin, was privileged to remain
in that bailiwick until practically all
the members and employees of the
Legislature had actually departed, SO
that he had an opportunity to view
that hamlet in repose. Glad, indeed,
was he to return to "good old Farm
ington," thankful that his Sentence"
to that place had terminated.
DR.. w. G. Patton left Tuesday morn
ing for St. Louis, where he will spend
month or six weeks taking post
graduate course in the hospitals of
that city, acquiring the latest and
most approved methods of treatment
of all kinds of sickness and human
| frailties. He will then return to this
city to locate for general practice,
which will be pleasing news to his
many friends in this community.
During his long practice in State
Hospital No. he not only had the
best of opportunities to gather invalu-
able experience, but he also made
many warm friends who will welcome
