possible to get another man in Farm
ington who would give to the exacting
duties of that position more careful
and businesslike attention than has
Mayor Tetley during the past two
years. He has made a record for eff
ficiency that both himself and the city
have abundant reason to feel proud.
With the experience he has had in that
position, it is reasonable to suppose
that during the coming two years he
will be able to give this city even a
better administration than during the
term now expiring, if such thing is
possible.
The Epworth League Of this city
have been successful in arousing con-
siderable interest among their many
friends in their contest for the sill
yer cup, which will be awarded by the
County Union of Epworth Leagues at
their monthly meetings. to the League
having the largest percentage of at
tendance for one year. The February
meeting was held at Flat River last
Friday evening, and about $50 Farm
ingtonians were present, about forty
cars and trucks being required to take
them to the meeting. The delegation
from this city composed about half
of the gathering from all parts of the
county. The meeting was splendidly
entertained by the Marvin College
quartette, at the conclusion of which

, Last Thursday Rolla Calkin was
given transportation from the Chilli
cothe Business College to Boone, To-
wa, where he has good position with
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
P. G. Hunt, Councilman from the
Second Ward, has decided to announce
for reelection to that position for an
other term. On such decision the peo-
Pile of that ward have reason for self
congratulation, as it Is probable that
never before has the city had an AL
derman who has been more wide
awake and jealous in serving the best
interests of our people in such a ca
pacity. Mr.. Hunt has always taken
seriously the duties imposed upon him
by that office, and no one ever tried
more zealously to render real service
than he has during the past two years.
He is not one to say "let the other
fellow attend to that" but is always
willing and ready to get out and give
his personal attention to things that
should be done. He is running on the
record he has made during the past
two years.
Basket ball games were played
Monday evening in the High School
gym between the Libertyville and
Flat River male teams, and the Fred
ericktown and Pennington girls. The
Libertyville and Fredericktown teams
were victors. 1t will be of interest to
many to note that the Libertyville
team has suffered but single defeat
in the many games in which they have
engaged during the present season.
However, their players are more ma
ture than those of the teams in which
they have been in competition. 1t is
more generally known as the Detring
brothers. team, there being three
brothers, all of whom are experienced
and skillful players After the games,
the local high school boys gave the
visitors an enjoyable entertainment
in the Christian Science hall, which
tended to heal the bruises that were
received by the players and rooters.
