Pershing, was along the right line
The General talks as he fights--di-
rectly from the shoulder and at the
enemy. Meetings of this kind, held
in all parts Of the country, would ac-
complish much good work that is now
seriously needed. in driving hyphen-
ates and undesirable X citizens into
their holes. And when such charac-
tiers are once in their rendezvous, the
holes should be plugged hard and fast,

this country.
4 The regular monthly letter for
April which is now being sent out by
the Bank of Pennington, has an ar
ticle on the "Care, Feed and Manage
ment of the Dairy Herd" that is
worthy the careful reading and con-
sideration of everyone. Should you
receive one of these letters it will be
to your personal advantage and profit
to read it carefully, consider it thor
oughly, and then file it away for fu-
ture reference. This article is not an
advertisement, but it is carefully
prepared article by one who knows
thoroughly the dairy business.
The committee from the Chamber
Of Commerce has decided on Monday,
April 10th, as the date for the next
Sales Day in Pennington. Saturday

the distribution Of the car load of Hol-
stein calves will be feature Of the
occasion, and all having ordered such
calves should be present to receive
them. A brass band has been engag-
ed and a number of other attractions
will be secured for the occasion. Ev-
cry possible effort will be put forth
to make this the biggest and best
Sales Day that has ever been held in

The Times is pleased to announce
this week the name Of j. w. Yeargain
as candidate to succeed himself as
Alderman from the Third Ward. For
the past two years Mr.. Yeargain has
served the city in such capacity in a
manner that should be satisfactory
to the people of the entire city, and
it is the province of the voters of his
ward to say whether or not they de-
sire him to continue in such position.
Mr.. Yeargain is one of Farmington's
leading and progressive citizens, and
he is deeply interested in the best in
terests of the city, not alone for his
property interests in this city, but al
so for his pride in the best interests
and upbuilding of the city.
Tuesdays Globe-Democrat contained
another special from Iron Mountain
regarding Mrs. Luetta Parsons, to-
gether with an alleged picture of the
child wife and accused murderer of a
step-child. The picture" was but a
blur, and did not look like any human
being. Mrs. Luetta Parsons is come
ly, though uneducated, and though she
is about Is years old, her mind devel-
opment is that of child of half that
age. But our principal objection to
the publication Of such alleged like
nesses as that in the Globe Democrat
is that the child wife will have suffi-
cient burdens to bear before the case
against her is disposed Of, without be-
ing handicapped by having such ''like-
nesses" thrust upon her. "a
It is with pleasure The Times is
permitted to announce this week DIR.
John b. Graves as candidate to sue
coed himself as a member of the Farm
ington Board of Education. DIR.
Graves is at present serving as Pres
ident of that body, in which RESPONSE
BILE position he has served with salts
faction to all who are deeply interest
ed in the cause of education. He is
signally qualified for such position, be-
ing a man of unusual qualifications
and having an uncommon knowledge
of the advantages that education
brings. The people of Pennington are
particularly fortunate in having such
men as DR.. Graves offer their services
to such positions, he being in every
respect worthy and well qualified to
keep our schools up to their present
high standard of excellence. and to
improve them, if possible.
Rev o. H. L. Cunningham and fam
lily left Wednesday for their new
home in Bolckow, Andrew County,
NO., where Rev. Cunningham will
have two strong churches in his pas
torate. This change was not made
without considerable indeeision and
delay. For seven years past, Rev.
Cunningham has been pastor of the
First Baptist church Of this city,
where he has performed splendid
work. Several years ago his physi-
clan advised him either to take a pro-
longed vacation, or seek lighter work.
However, his congregation would not
consent to him leaving them, but
agreed that his work should be light
ened, and as his health improved
somewhat, he continued to remain,
until this final satisfactory call came,
which will tighten his necessary work
considerably. While his large con-
here deeply regret his de-
parture, they are in manner recon-
ciled to it in the knowledge that the
change will perhaps prove beneficial
to their beloved pastor, and their
prayers will be that such may be the
result.
