Information
of Voters

All voters living in Incorporated
towns must vote at the polling plac
or places established for the incor-
porated towns in which they live, and
all voters living outside of incorpo-
rated towns must vote at the polling
place established for the election dis
trict or voting precinct in which they
live.
The County Court is authorized to
divide any township INTO two or more
election districts ana to establish two
or more election precincts in each
township, and to alter such election
districts and precincts from time to
time as the convenience Of the inhab-
itants may require, describing the
several districts erected, and the
boundary of each or the precincts es-
tablished, and the name of each, and
to have the description and boundaries
of each district erected or altered or
precinct established thereby to be
posted at public place in each dis
trict or at each precinct.
When the boundary of any election
district of any incorporated town cx-
tends outside the limits of such in
corporated town, the County Court
may establish voting precinct or
polling place witnia such incorporated
town for the use Of voters living out
side such Incorporated town but with
in the said election district.
We are informed that the County
Court of st. Francois county has in
view the establishing of several ad-
ditional election districts Or precincts

Real Estate
Prices Too Low

Everywhere The Times knows Of,
or has heard about, the prices of res
idence property is going up, except
right here in Pennington. 1t is the
very natural result that such should
be the case, with the enormous prices
of everything that enters into the
building of homes. An upward trend
is as certain to strike Pennington
home values as that time passes.
Anyone desiring a home should
make such investment at once, while
prices are abnormally low. They can
not and will not long continue so. The
Times believes it to be an absolutely
honest statement that there is not an
other city in Missouri, of the size OF
Pennington, where residence property
is selling as cheaply as it is here. The
buying of homes here at this time
would be splendid investment.

The Three Links

One of the most remarkable meet
ings in the history of st. Francois
Lodge No. 48 I. o. 0. F. was held at
its lodge rooms last Monday night; not
remarkable so much on account OF the
number present-though there was a
large attcndance-as for the character
and the years of association of many
of them with the lodge. The Oldest
member of the lodge, both as to natur-
al age and the number of years of
membership, was present, together
with several other veteran Odd Eel
lows and a number of near veterans.
A veteran is one who has been men,
ber of the order fifty years or more.
The veterans present at the meet
ing were l.. X. Peers, a member for
63 years, j. A. Cunningham for 55
years, d. j. Doughty for Sd years and
John Lorenz of Nashville, ILL.,, for SO
years, who reached the veteran goal
this year. Another member, Joseph
Alexander, of st. Louis, who became
a veteran this year, was not able to
be present. Among the near veterans
present were Geo. M. Wilson, M. l..
Doughty of Chicago, Josiah Bruett
H. B. Ledbetter, j. H. Tetley and a
number who had been members of the
Lodge from IS to 35 years. The wives
of number of the brothers were with
them and after short business meet
ing the doors of the lodge room were
thrown open and the ladies invited in
Short addresses were made by Theo
D. Fisher, Geo. M. Wilson and j. II
Tetley, and reminiscent talks by q
number, after which there was gen.
eral' sociable interchange and refresh
ments of cake and ice cream.
St. Francois Lodge was instituted
in October, 1850, and next month will
have rounded out three score and ter
years of its existence. Its growth
and progress has been gradual and to
day it is one of the most fiourishing
successful and solidly financial work
ing fraternai lodges in the State.

rest. Mr.. Longs speech was the
strongest that has been delivered here
during the campaign. 1t dealt not
either in generalities or camoufiage,
but discussed living issues in a way
that appeared to his hearers to be
unanswerable.
Carter M. Buford, who was suffer-
ing from severe cold, made a few
remarks, in which he said that this
great Southeast country is finally
coming into it's own. Mr.. Long lives
practically at the foot of the Ozarks;
Arthur Brewster lives in an adjoining
county; himself native Of this courl-
ty; w. M. Meredith Of Poplar Bluff
for Attorney General, and last, but
not least, John M. Atkinson for Gov
ernor from the far Southeast, all
Democrats, and all to be elected by in
! creased majorities, and he was de-
pending largely upon the women to
bring about such result.
Owing to the lateness of the hour,
Arthur Brewster made only few
we'll chosen and enthusiastic remarks,
which were received with great en-
thusiasm. He promised, however, to
return to Pennington some other
time, when he would have sufficient
time to make real speech. 1t was
evident from the beginning Of his re-
marks that Mr.. Brewster had many
warm friends in the audience, and his
every utterance was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause. Thus the meet
ing came to an end in the good old
fashioned manner of Democratic
meetings, which indicates success in
the present campaign.

begin hauling materials at once,
especially gravel, sand and cement
