H. s. Grow and A. L. Schwaegerle,
of DeSoto, were Pennington visitors
Tuesday. While here they favored
The Times with call and Mr.. Crow,
son of W. E. Grow, editor of the De-
Soto Republican, who is now in the
State Insurance Department, secured
some composition from our mechani-
cal department. N. S. is now in prac-
teal charge of the Republican, is a
bright and experienced newspaper

Earl Swink has purchased the in
terest formerly owned by Oscar Chalk
in the Pennington Tire Works, and
will hereafter give to that establish
ment his personal attention. His
many friends here will be pleased to
know he is now permanently located
in Pennington, and particularly in a
business for which he seems to have
natural gift, for Earl already knows
as much about times, castings and gen.
eral auto accessories as the average
dealer. We predict he will make good
in the business he has finally decided

The Marsden general store at Vic
toria, Jefferson county, was entirely
destroyed by fire about o'clock Sun
day evening. 1t was a large frame
structure, which burned rapidly, as
there is no adequate fire-fighting
equipment there. Much of the goods
was saved from the flames, but suf-
fered considerable damage. Such
primitive methods of fire resistance
as they have there was well used in
preventing the spread of the flames
to nearby buildings. The reflection
of the fire was seen for miles and
drew large crowd from the sur
rounding territory.
The Times is pleased to present an
other candidate this week for the
Democratic nomination for Constable
of st. Francois township, in the per-
son of Barney Laxton. While we new
err met him until yesterday, when he
came in to announce, we will say that
he has the ear-marks of good Off
Ger. He has lived in Flat River for
the past seven years, all of which
time he has worked underground for
the st. Louis Smelling & Refining Co.,
which is another excellent recon-
mendation, showing steadincss and in
dustry, which is becoming more and
more valuable. Mr.. Laxton is fam
lily man and has large acquaintance
and many friends, Voters will have
their choice among number of good
men for the office of Constable of this
township.
