glass man from an eastern factory; C. C. ENGLAND as secretary; and Charles
GROSSMAN, treasurer. Building the plant

~Woodsman Officers Installed~
At a special meeting of
Hillsboro Camp No. 2389 M.W.A. called especially for that purpose, the
following officers were duly installed for the ensuing year: W.J.A. SCHUBEL, V.C.; Edgar LAFOON, W.A.;
G.W. GASCHE, Banker; A.J. SHEIBLE, Clerk; E.E. MARSDEN, Escort; L.J. LAFOON,
Watchman; John HUBELI, Sentry and W.S. WILSON, Mgr. for 3 years. Great interest
in Woodcraft was manifested at this meeting and a prosperous year following is
evident. One new member was added to the
Camp roll. In the past year, not withstanding the rate agitation, Hillsboro
Camp has taken in nine members. It was
decided that at the next meeting, which will be held on Friday night,
~Byrnesville~
The ice has left us, only to
be followed by high water; the river water quite congested with ice and blocked
for a couple of days, and the river is still at a stage too high to permit
operation of the mill.
Has everybody here had the
mumps? They still seem to be lingering
in the neighborhood, Elmer HARNESS being the last victim reported.
L.P. O’BRIEN has taken a
leave of absence from his position with the Missouri Pacific and is now
spending a few days with his brothers here.
The DUNNIGAN sisters have
had their house remodeled, which is a good display of energy on their part
considering the fact that their invalid father had to be cared for during that
time.
Miss Mary BYRNE has been
confined to the bed for the past several days suffering with inflammatory
rheumatism, but we are glad to hear that she is now enroute
to recover.
Herman JUNGE, the
blacksmith, in an effort to shoe a young bronco belonging to Walter BUXTON,
narrowly averted having his arm broken when he was kicked by the animal.
P.P. O’BRIEN of Allenton was
recently in our community and reports that Fred BOEMLER has been doing some
good work on the Eureka Road, which he states is badly in need of repairs on
account of the heavy traffic. Due to the
distance and condition of this road
Mr. O’BRIEN further states
that the bridge proposition across the Meramec at the point known as Hunter’s
Ford is getting very interesting. At a
very little expense the railroad can be brought between four and five miles
nearer to us via this route. An
important feature connected with a bridge at the Hunter’s Ford is that the
public travel would not at any time be blocked by reason of high water, and the
road, after constructed, would not be expensive to maintain. Farmers on both sides of the river are
greatly impressed with the proposition, and Pat says he can show them its advantages.
Mrs. Wm MAY and daughter
Ella, of Cedar Hill were visiting Mrs. Geo. BIRK last Tuesday.
Despite the condition of the
roads, Will BOHLANKER was out joy-riding in his ‘Ford’ last Sunday.
