Every citizen VIII dcuDtless nave
choice between the North and South |
Ward schools for the splendid pre-
MUM that will be given by the Civic |
League Club for the best and most |
thorough clean up of their respective |
districts. Not only that, but every

in putting his premises in the best
possible shape during Cleanup

Miss frankie Boyer is the proud
possessor of "a German helmet, just
received from her uncle, Lester X:
Hutchings, who is with the army OF
occupation, and sent his little niece a
number of war souvenirs from Witle-
dorf. Germany. The helmet bears in
dications of having passed through
hard service, and will doubtless ever
remain highly priced keepsake by
Miss frankie.
The Times is especially pleased to
present the name Of DR.. John b.
Graves as candidate for School Di-
rector in this city. This paper last
week suggested DR.. Graves for such
position, in a thoroughly deserved
complimentary mention. therefore,
we are now particularly pleased to
present the name Of such an exem-
plary citizen for this place. So long
as our public schools can hold the
deep interest and earnest support OF
such men as is DR.. Graves, their
course must be constantly upward.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Mckenzie, who
recently moved to Pennington from
the Libertyville neighborhood, having
sold their splendid farm there, were
very pleasantly surprised the last of
the week by having Mrs. A. j. Sucher,
accompanied by her husband, and Mrs.
j. H. Walker and daughter, of Ste.
Genevieve, drop in on them. This in
coming completed family reunion,
with the exception of one son-in-law,
Mr.. Walker, as the others all live in
this city. Those present besides Mr..
and Mrs. Mckenzie, were three daugh-
ters and one daughter-in-law, one son
and three sons-in-law, and five grad
children.
T. P. Pigg, of Ironton, was week
end visitor with his wife in this city.
The Times acknowledges an. appre-
ciated call. Bro. Pigg is editor of the
Arcadia Valley Enterprise, and the
way he is filling that paper with in
teresting local news of that little
community is calculated to make his
newspaper brethren "sit up and take
notice." 1t is one of the wonders how
, so much local news can transpire In
one small community as appears each
week in the Arcadia Valley Enter
prise. The Times also notes that such
splendid enterprise is meeting with a
just mountaineering patronage.

!. day, all of whom were welcomed by
J, him in his charming manner, and re
d freshments were served to all. While
i "Uncle Harvey" is beginning to fee
e somewhat the piling up of years, hi
u being little more frail than he was ;
year since, his appearance Indicate
j. that he will enjoy many more sucl
/ anniversary occasions. In fact he i

d was married last week, returned from
S the wedding trip to be present at an
/ other adjourned term of the Count.

IS newed with determination and zeal t
I. force the mine owners to do the "righ
i thing" in regard to paying their jus
h taxes for 1918. He has no desire t
# "treat 'em rough, but he is also op
