An Old-Time
Enemy Returns

As The Times editor WIS sitting
quietlp and contentedly on mis- porch
the other evening, at peace with all
the world and with i'll will toward no
one, he was somewhat disturbed to be
aroused by the hiss of well-remem-
bered, and still unwelcome, voice in
his ear. 1t was such voice that once
heard is never forgotten. But what
chance is there to forget when, year
after year, that same voice has con-
tinued to buzz in our ears, which has
been frequently impressed with a
dagger-like prick.
Though loath to do so, we were final
ly forced to admit, after hearing that
"joy song" several times repeated for
our special benefit, that the mosquito
was again in our midst. It seems that
he is unusually early this year in MAX
ing his appearance, but with him that
is no sufficient reason for his early
departure. After having been thor
oughiy Convinced that our summer
companion throughout life was again
with US, we then tried to find reason
for his untimely coming on the ground
that in previous seasons he had con-
tracted such Damon-like attachment
for US that he was compelled to leave
his companions before the day set for
departure because of his love for us.
But 1t seems this was an error, as sew
eral of these miniature sharks have
already made their presence known in
this community. But really these are
occasions that no person will relish.

Necessary Action
Probably Taken

While no direct positive information
has as yet reached Pennington from
Hamilton, Canada, regarding the pro-
yisions cf tire .4siH Of the late Mrs
Jennie Bisby regarding the construc-
ton of the proposed Long Memorial
IN this city, on which deceased had ap-
parently set her heart, and even be.
fore her death bids had been called
for, information has reached this CITY
that suitable provision for such struc-
ture appears in the will.
In this event actual work of con-
struction may be expected to COM
mence as soon as the executors have
taken necessary action, the money be-
comes available and the contract has
been awarded. When the capsheaf
has been placed on this proposed
splendid building it will be a splendid
and enduring memorial to the Long
family.

Will Be Excellent
Entertainment

A member Of the Sales Day Commit
tee Of the Chamber Of Commerce went
to st, Louis Monday and engaged pro-
fessional talent for the entertainment
Of the crowds on Sales Day. There
has been a demand for more enter
tainment on these affairs and it was
decided to dispense with the drawing
contest that has featured previous
events and stress the entertainment
feature.
Frank Papila, the Accordion Wiz
ard, Chas. Williams the Merry Musi-
cal Rube and Bennie Collins, the Hap
py Clown, will be here to amuse and
entertain. They are secured at con-
siderable expense, through the Thomp-
son Theatrical Agency, and are high
ly recommended as entertainers. Each
artist will work independently of the
others and will free-lance about the
streets throughout the day with their
fun making. The DeSoto Concert
Band has been engaged and will ar
rive overland in the forenoon and be-
gin their concert at ten o'clock.
Sam F. Isenman and his committee
are arranging for half dozen ath-
letic contests with suitable prizes for
the victors. He plans to repeat an old
trick and turn CREASED pig loose for
somebody to catch. Many stunts are
being prepared and from all indica-
tions the biggest crowds yet assem-
bled on Sales Days will be here on
the sixteenth. Every effort is being
made to persuade the visitors to come
early and stay all day in order to
avoid the congestion in the stores in
the afternoons. Many are expected to
take advantage of the bargains Of
fered in the various business houses.

Preparing for
Calf Distribution

County Agent Coplen left Saturday
for Waukeshaw, Wis, to purchase two
carloads of Holstein calves. Twenty
four of the animals are pure breds
and the other high grades. Most of
the animals are around twenty
months old, and the average cost will
be about $125, ranging in price from
$s5 to $175. ''r'S'
The calves will arrive in time to be
distributed to the owners on Sales
Day, April 16tho 1t is planned to
have parade of the animals through
the crowd on that day. The brass
band will lead the procession, followed
by the string of animals, each led by
its owner with his or her name at
tached to the calf Letters to the
members of the Calf Club will be, sent
out previously. The purpose of the
parade is to show to the town and the
country what is being done by the
Chamber of Commerce and the Farm
Bureau toward stimulating the better
live stock industry and particularly
the milk products industry.

MRS. G. II. BIsBY PASSES BEYOND

Hamilton today is mourning the
loss of one of it's most highly esteem
ed and public-spirited residents in the
person of Mrs. Jane Ambrose Bisby,
relict of the late George Harvey Bis
by, of Long & Bisby, who predeceased
her on May II, 1908. Passing her
83rd birthday on January 29, Mrs.
Bisby became i'll, and from that time
gradually weakened in health until to-
day, when death came quietly.
Born in Pennington, Mo-, on JAN
uary %, 1889, the deceased came to
Hamilton about the year 1867, and
later married. From the outset Mrs.
Bisby took an active interest in the
welfare of her neighbors, with her at
tention directed chiefly to the Noun
tain, sanatorium and women's organi-
cations. Associating herself with the
Daughters of the Empire, Mrs. Bisby
eventually became honorary vice-re-
gent of st. Elizabeth's chapter, and in
that capacity did praisewprthy work
in the uplifting of womankind To
Mrs. Bisby goes considerable of the
credit for the founding Of the Noun
tain sanatorium, and it was through
her efforts that the institution has
reached its high standard of efficiency.
The present site of the sanatorium
was donated by Messrs. Long and
Bisby, of which the late w. D. Long
was. the deceased'sl brother. On the
death Of Mr.. Bishy, theip ipublic-spirited
wife devoted most of her time to work
at the institution, and, with Mr.. Long,
donated ground on Which nurses
home is at present under construction.
Aside from this the deceased was
an active member of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association and al
most lifelong member of tne Gem
tennry Methodist church, in which
she.was highly regarded for her inter-

majority of only two votes for
School Director, those two votes are
as impregnable to overcome as though
she had been defeated by hundred or
more. 1t is apparent that she was de-
feated "in the house of her friends
that the women failed to vote for her
at all solidly.
The greatest surprise of the local
election. was the very unusual burst of
speed shown by Marshal John Hough
for reelection. He not only ran en-
tirely away from his combined oppo-
sition, but received nearly two votes
for every one against him, His
friends say they knew he "would do
it", but there is doubtless not one of
them but was completely surprised at
the speed he exhibited.
The women again demonstrated
their usual ability for applying them
selves to any task. 1t is stated that
they cast fewer votes that could not
be counted, by reason of being faulty,
than did the men. And this remark
able record was made in spite Of the
fact that this was their first experience
in preparing ballots, while the male
has grown up and been educated to
that privilege.

From Father
Down to Sons

]. D. Huff, one of the old farmers
of this community, has sold his splen-
did 240-acre farm near Doe Run to
his two sons, George w. and E. l..
Huff. Each son, purchased 12O acres.
George secured the most highly inn
proved half, for which he paid $4,000,
while E. L. purchased the other half
of this excellent farm for $4,000.
Both sons have inherited from their
father genuine love for farming,
and the prospects are that each will
succeed in their chosen profession as
abundantly as has the father, who Se-
tires with a competency to spend the
remainder of his years more leisurely
than he has in TIE past, as he has been
hard worker. Mr.. Huff and both
sons were in Pennington Wednesday
to make transfers Of the property
