The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-08-01

Squire J. P. Zolman reports the
marriage on Tuesday, July 80, of j.
w. D. Nossett, st. Francois, and Do
ra Isabel Rector, of Ste. Genevieve.
Miss Vernice Grcenlee, of Musko-
gee, Okla, who is visiting her aunt,
Mrs. J. H. Radle, here was taken seri-
ously i'll with indigestion Wednesday
night and the services of three doc
tors were required. We are glad to
report that she is better now.
Richard Williams was taken to st.
Louis at 8 o'clock last Sunday morn
ing by DR.. Watkins for an operation
for appendicitis. The operation was
performed at st. Luke's Hospital as
soon as possible after their arrival,
as the appendix would have burst in
very short time. At last reports
Richard was recovering nicely and
his friends hope that he will soon be
able to return home. Tom Mckinney
drove Mr., Williams National to st.
Louis.
]. S. Clay reports the sale of the
fine farm belonging to R. L. Rariden,
located in the northern suburb of
Pennington, consisting of 100 acres
of well improved land, to Russell H.
Straughan and Lucy Perle Straughan,
for $12,500. Also the beautiful home
in the Doss addition, belonging to the
st. Francois County Bank, to s. r.
Turley and wife, for $4,000; also a
house and four lots in the Western
addition to Pennington, to R. /. Rar-
iden and Leah B. Rariden for $4,000.
A returned soldier boy sends to The
Times, with the request that we
please publish: Don't worry, girls,
about your narrow skirts, even if the
young man that wasn't in the war"
did knock. We "oversea boys" like
them, and especially like the girls
that wear them. Our American girls
look good to US, even in narrow
skirts. Quite typical of the "young
man that wasn't in the war" to crit
icise. Too bad that he wasn't per-
mitted to squirt at the "fairer sex
over there. Possibly he could now
appreciate "even a narrow skirt"
We are publishing two clippings
this week with regard to State Hospi-
tai No. A, one from The Pennington
Times and the other from the Lead
Belt News. We often wonder why
it is that all the State institutions
cannot be handled as we'll as DR.. Eat
on is handling No. A. 1t will be re-
called that not long ago, a report was
made to Jefferson City, in which it
was unhesitatingly acknowledged that
Hospital No. was the best managed
institution in the State. AS the En-
terprise remarked some time ago, if
we were to be told that the Missouri
Democrats had never done but one
good thing it was when DR.. Eaton
was appointed Superintendent of No.

We would call attention of Times
readers to the large advertisement on
the second page of this issue, of the
Wells Mercantile Co., at Bonnie Terre.
This large store, the largest in Bonnie
Terre, and perhaps the largest in st.
Francois county, is putting on Clear
ing Out Sale FOR the purpose of quit
ting business, owing to the poor
health of the manager, Mr.. Wells.
They carry practically everything in
dry goods, clothing, groceries, hard
ware, furniture, automobile tires and
accessories, etc. Their large store
building, from basement to second
story, is literally crammed full of the
best Observation-Disclosures than can be
purchased these day at any price
and the prices they are making will
make it profitable for all to visit that
establishment for a solution of the
problem of the high cost of living.
Fred Kerlagon returned the last Of
the week from fourteen months army
service in France, during all of which
time he was in hospital service, and
most of which time he was head phar-
macist in the army hospital in Nantes,
France. He saw altogether more Of
the cruel effects of the war than he
desired to see, even though his work
did not take him to the front line
trenches. A valued possession Fred
returned with is an album filled with
about $50 pictures, most of which
were taken by himself and friends, of
scenes all over France, including
number of battle scenes. His many
friends are delighted to see him look
ing so well, and his appearance for
duty at his former position was like
a much needed vacation to Mr. Laak-
man, who had conducted his business
with but little assistance during the
entire fifteen months of Fred's alb
Sence.
