Col. Chas. L. Woods, editor Of the
Rolla Herald and State Deputy Dill
Inspector, was in Pennington Friday
with his oil can and his proverbial
smile. That magical oil cam. drew
much attention, showing up as it does
the least variance in oil and gas
measurement.
Judge C. l. Garrett was in Farm
ington Friday attending to business
and meeting with many friends. He
and his family have resided in Flat
River during the past winter to give
the children increased school benefits,
but have now returned to their splen-
did Bismarck home. ~
B. H. Marbury participated in the
Democratic mass meeting at the
Planters hotel in st. Louis Monday.
He returned with the firm conviction
that the action taken in.that meeting
was well considered and wise, and that
it should receive the hearty approval
of the Democratic State Committee.
w. P. Sebastian, of Breckenridge,
Texas, that once splendid citizen of
this city, on renewing his Times sub
scription, says, "can't do without it,"
In this connection we will state that
The Times management would deeply
regret "doing without" Mr. Sebas-
tian's name on our subscription list.
The DeSoto Concert Band will give
two splendid concerts from the stand
in the court house square tomorrow,
Sales Day. One will be given in the
morning and one in the evening, and
they will doubtless furnish much
pleasure and enjoyment for the large
crowd that will be in attendance on
that occasion.
w. A. Mitchell, Presiding Judge of
the County Court, and Assessor F. M.
Horton left yesterday afternoon for
Jefferson City to meet with the
State Board of Equalization, for the
purpose of asking decrease in the
percentage of increase in town lot
assessment. A sentiment in this coun-
ty is strongly opposed to the enor-
nous increase in assessment, n pro-
posed by the State Board.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Williams have
closed their splendid town home and
on Saturday returned to their fine
large Ste. Genevieve county farm, To-
Gated near Brickeys, where "Uncle
Joe" expects to keep more or less
busy the coming season in farming
and fishing especially fishing. He
said we might tell anyone inquiring
about him that he was tending to his
own business, and hereafter intended
to vote the straight Democratic ticket.
Rev. Stephens Burke, the well
known evangelist, who has held sew
eral successful protracted meetings in
Pennington, and who was we'll known,
to many of our people, died in Gains
vile, Texas, on March 25th, from an
operation for gall stones. He had
been preaching for twenty-five years,
and is said to have converted more
than one hundred thousand persons
during that time. He was formerly
a United States marshal in the Indian
Territory.
Another calamity has been visited
upon our sister city of DeSoto. The
first occurred when the bank at that
place failed for an enormous sum, in
which many citizens of that town and
community were heavy losers. The
latest blow fell the last of the week,
when the Missouri Pacific shops were
closed, and hundreds of men were
thrown out of employment. Thus
that community has been deprived of
payroll of over $4,000 a month. All
passes to such employees were also
taken up, incluting many ANNALS to
men who had long been in the COM
pany's service. They were all given
one-way transportation to any place
they desired to go, which leads to the
conclusion that this closing Down or
der is intended to be more or less per-
manent. This action was taken in Or
der to curtail expenses of that COM
pany, but the condition that has been
brought about will make it difficult
going for the business interests of
DeSoto.
