Pennington News: ''Fsrmington
will have a new Postmaster or rather
a Postmistress during September.
Mr.. Smith leaves today for Lebanon,
Va, to join Mrs. Smith who has been
visiting her parents there for several
weeks and where he will spend the
entire month enjoying his regular an
nual vacation. During his absence,
Miss Allie Patton will serve as Post
mistress. Miss Patton has just re-
turned from her vacation which she
spent with her mother at Ironton. If
Miss Allie handles the job o. K,
which we predict she will, during
Postmaster Smiths absence, it will
just about lead to some Republican
woman coping Mr.. Smiths job at
the expiration of his term"
County Superintendent Hanson
spent the greater part of last week in
the west end of the county visiting
the schools in that section. He says
that the closing down of the Sligo
Company is manifested all through
that region. Many people have al
ready gone away and others are pre-
pairing to go. The company has clos
ed out their stores and apparently has
quit to stay quit. tits announced that
the company wanted to take up their
their railroad, the Sligo & Eastern,
but it is a chartered concern and must
maintain train service unless allowed
to suspend operation by the courts.
In consequence of all these things the
west END, like all the rest of the coun-
try, is mighty quiet these days.
Desloge Sun: "The ball game be-
tween Bonna Terre and Frederick
town on the Bonne Terre diamond
broke up in row in the last half OF
the eighth inning when the decision
of the umpire was questioned. The
play was Dempsey stealing home
with batter up. The umpire first
called Dempsey out and when Bonne
Terre protested he changed his deci-
sion which caused Fredericktown to
quit. No coaxing could get the play
ers together and as last resort three
minutes were given to resume or for
felt the game; the latter was chosen.
When the row started Fredericktown
had the long end of to score; the
game being forfeited the score was
marked up 9 to nothing in favor OF
Bonne Terre."
