The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-02-24

You will hear from Chillicothe
Business College in both track and
base ball this spring for recent
census taken at the big business
school shows exceptional material for
both team.
Quite delegation from Flat River
appeared before Judge Huck Tuesday
to try and find a way for more dras-
tic enforcement OF the prohibition
laws in the leadbelt. They stated,th
many infractions of that law appeared
to receive but little, if any, attention
from the authorities. They were told
that such law enforcement must rest
largely with themselves, as there
were no funds provided bytthe county
to spy out and bring to justice such
law violators; that the, Prosecuting
Attorney would be the proper officer
for them to interview in their trouble,
and that he might be able to suggest
further relief.
Juvenile Judge R. C. Tucker re-
quests The Times to say that he will
be pleased to receive all cast-off cloth
ing, for the use and benefit of a num-
Der of juvenile charges the county
now has on its hands in the County In
firmary. He has gathered there a
number of little ones. who through no
fault of their own, were in such con-
dtion that it became necessary to
take charge of them in order to pro-
tect them from actual want, possibly
to preserve their lives. All should re-
member that any old cast-off clothing
can be made to serve a real humani-
tartan need by delivering them to
Judge Tucker for these unfortunate
children.
The Times this week presents to its
readers the name of G. P. Wilson,
generally known as "Pink", of Bonnie
Terre, who is both well and favorably
known in all parts of st. Francois
county as lawyer, as well as an Of
fee holder. He was born in st. Fran
co.'s county, where he has spent his
entire life, and perhaps there is no
one who is better qualified to look af-
ter matters that come before the
Probate Judge than is he. For eight
years "Pink" filled the office of Cir
cult Clerk in such manner as to win
compliments from many whose bust
ness often drew them there. He
would be an element of real strength
to the Democratic ticket.
]. T. Short, Of this city, desires
that we present his name to Times
readers this week as a candidate for
Associate Justice of the County Court
from the First District, in which
contest he promises to abide by the
decision of the Democratic voters at
the primary election. Mr.. Short needs
no introduction to Times readers, as
GO of the 65 years of his life has been
spent in this immediate community
He is Georgian by birth, but was
brought to st. Francois county when
only two years old. which fact he has
never regretted, though claiming nc
personal credit for his first and only
| change of location. The manner OF
his life during his long years here
speaks for itself.
Our old friend, L. T. McCarver, OF
Flat River, one of the numerous wit
nesses in the Mcdowell trial now in
| progress, was a pleasing caller al
The Times office Wednesday. For q
time we were wholly unable to solve
Macs eNhuberaRce, as we had never
seen him before when he appeared to
be so happy and care-free. His
countenance fairly exhuded pleasure
Finally he dissipated our increasing
wonder when he said: Suppose you
know l am married" While we had
not heard of such happy event, we
were forced to admit, after extending
our congratulations, that our mind
was not acting as vigorously as it
once did, or we would have been able
to read that announcement in his
beaming countenance.
