The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-04-14

been in progress at the First Baptist
church the past week, is progressing
nicely. There have been several con-
versions to date and the church, has
been greatly rvived. Rev. Musgrave,
who is doing the preaching, is deliv-
ering some very forceful sermons,
and the house is crowded every night
Rev. Chrisman, the pastor, is con-
Quoting the song service in very able
manner. The meetings will continue
the rest Of the weak at least.
One of the things that is needed
most in our town for the best interest
of the citizenship of the community,
as we'll as the best interests of the
st. Joseph Lead Co., is that the hous-
es owned by the lead company be put
in tenable condition. There are lots
Of good people who would move to our
twn if they Guild only get respecta-
bic house to live in. And lots of our
best people are leaving on account of
the condition of the houses. 1t is
hard to get a family to live in min
ing town where they can't have a gar
den, and with hogs sleeping under the
house, on account Of no fence around
the house. A garden is big item
for a working man with big family.
We don't say this with any malice to-
ward the lead company but we think
that it is an oversight on the part of
some of the men in charge. The pres
ent conditions are only inviting to
trashy citizenship.
