The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-03-12


from St. Louis last Sunday and is the
guest of her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. C. Alexander. Miss Frances
graduated from Browns Business Col
lege and is on her way to accept po-
sition with the Hobart Cable Piano
Co. at La Port, Ind. Miss Frances
made one of the highest grades that
have been made in that college.
Rev. E. H. orear attended group
meeting of the Evangelistic Campaign,
now in progress, which was held at
Bismarck Monday evening. Rev.
0rear delivered the sermon, and
Squire II. G. Tucker, of this city, al
so gave an address. Eleven charges
were represented at the meeting.
Squire Tucker went to Lutesville
from Bismarck, where he addressed a
similar gathering Tuesday.
II. II. Revelle was tried in Squire
T. w. Martins court at Flat River
Saturday, charged with having given
check when he had no deposit in the
bank on which said check was given.
He was found to be guilty as charged,
and drew a fine of 500 and costs,
which he is 'laying out" in Jail. The
giving of "bogus" checks is unlawful,
and lays one giving such worthless
paper subject to prosecution.
The Times is in receipt Of letter
from Marvin C. Williams, eldest son
of J. C. Williams of this city, asking
that the address of his paper be
changed from Rantoul, ILL.,, to San
Antonio, Texas, where he has been
assigned to the 95th Squadron, First
Pursuit Group, Kelly Field, where he
expects to remain for some time, or
until he is transferred to some other
point. He reports the health of his
| family and himself of the best, the
weather "the finest you ever saw,
and sends best wishes to his friends
here.
The law contemplates that all auto
mobiles must be equipped with IL
censes for the new year not later than
March LIST. That date has come and
gone, and there are yet many, auto
mobiles in this county that are not
supplied with this years license, which
makes their owners subject to arrest
and fine. Sheriff Adams has been
lenient in this matter, and as yet has
made no arrest for such law violation,
| thinking that some do not understand
that March LIST is the expiring date
for securing such licenses, but he now
requests The Times to say that he will
arrest all auto owners not having this
years license at an early date. Bet
ter save yourself both trouble and ex-
pense by securing your new auto Ii
cense at once. ...."
The Times is this week pleased to
announce the name of another candi-
date from Flat River, he being G. r.
PTather, perhaps one of the most gen.
orally known men in st. = Francois
county. Mr.. Prather is 81 years old,
40 years of which time he has been a
prominent citizen of the lead belt of
the county. He has host OF friends
| who will be pleased that he has decid-
ed to make this race: is lifelong
Democrat of the working variety, who
has always considered it his duty to
do everything possible to assist in
party success. Mr.. Prather stands
high as citizen, neighbor and friend;
has reared an excellent family of six
children, four of whom have already
arrived at the age of maturity. While
MIR. Prather has always been recog-
nized as an enthusiastic working Dem
ocrat, he has never held public office,
with the exception of County Coroner,
which position he has been filing most
efficiently for the past three years,
and his friends claim that his admin
istration of the duties of that office
is clear indication of the manner in
which he would fill the office Of Sher-
if should he be chosen for that posi-
ton. The indications are that he will
be heard from in his present race, and
there is no question as to his ability to
perform such duties both acceptably
and well.
