~Accidentally Poisoned~

Mr. and Mrs. Henry HURTGEN were seriously poisoned Sunday by eating poke root which they mistook for horseradish. A bunch of horseradish was gathered, but only one root was prepared for dinner and very little used as it seemed of poor flavor. Some time afterward they became violently ill and but for the timely arrival of their son Archie, who immediately came back to town for Dr. MOCKBEE. He worked four hours with them before they were out of danger. It is probably the mistake that would have terminated fatally. Both have recovered and seemed to be none the worse for their experience but in the future, hope to be more critical even of their own family horseradish bed.

 

~Resolutions of Respect~

As it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst on March 6, 1913 Brother John W. ROSENAUR, therefore be it resolved that Antonia Camp Number 5860 M.W. of A, has lost a kind and esteemed neighbor and the community, a faithful, honest and respected citizen.  Be it further resolved that we express our sincerest sympathy to the bereaved ones and that our charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days.  Be it further resolved that a page of our Record be set aside as a memorial to our departed brother and a copy of these resolutions be spread thereon.  Be it further resolved that to Rev. Father TRACY we tender our sincerest thanks for courtesies and comfort in this sad hour, and that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the bereaved family, one to Father TRACY, and one to each of the county papers for publication.

~Record Makers in the Record~

Are you a Van-Guardsman or a Tail-Ender?

 

How much intelligent examination and appreciation do you give to the local advertising in the Record?  Have you noticed that the Jefferson County Bank and Peoples Bank both of DeSoto and the Kimmswick Bank are hustlers for business, and are advancing not only their own business but the status of sound finance in our county?

 

Have you ever noticed that DeSoto Roller Mills and the Kimmswick Roller Mills keep the advertising of their business, down-to-the-minute, look again and you will note that for hardware and ware of like nature the CUNNINGHAM-HAMEL Merchantile Co. of DeSoto is easily leader.  That for farm implements, and general black smithing, Henry HURTGEN & Son and Frank BECHLER, two Hillsboro firms, are promptly yours to command. That when it comes to eatables and drinkables Hillsboro presents E.A. MARSDEN, J.W. ECKLE, and F.E. SPILKER who can attend your wants on short order, and most acceptably too.

 

Then again there is J.M.CHRIST the DeSoto baker who is not at all averse to your knowing of his superior ice cream and bread.  Go in and see for yourself.

 

The HERCULANEUM Lumber Co. offers all kinds of building materials and handles a large stock of only the high class and artistic.  Antonia sends Julius A. KOHLER to the front and besides selling all sorts of desirable things offers a fine line of millinery.  Monuments and marble work is done by C.A. SCHOLLKOPF of DeSoto an artist in his line and the oldest in that business.

 

Dr. CHAMBERLAIN is a popular DeSoto dentist who looks after the comfort and good looks of a large number of Jefferson County citizens.  Kimmswick is ever the front in good business, and M. ZEIGLER the jeweler and watchmaker has patronage which is not confined to Rock and Joachim township by any means.

 

"HINCHEYS" of DeSoto is a household word all over the county.  They have two stores where you can buy anything under the sun but a beef steak.

 

Jefferson Co. is a strong leader in poultry, F.E. OBERMILLER the prize winner at Kimmswick, Henry RUNGE at Barnhart, and Mrs. Ray CALDWELL of Hillsboro being chicken fanciers right.

 

The farmers interests are looked after by the WILEY Mercantile Co. of DeSoto who are offering a car load of seed potatoes in connection with their general merchandising. Speaking of farmers, reminds us of real-estate and you will note in the Record that Chris JENNI of Festus and F.J. ADAMS of Hillsboro are in the business and make a specialty of farm property. Good farm property makes for good roads, and good roads encourage the automobile, and our automobile man is J.P. BOEMLER, Eureka, RFD.18 and he certainly sells them, for he is a hustler.  So you see they all want business and they use business methods to get it. The man who advertises is up to date, ready and active.  He is more likely to give you prompt service and fresh up to date goods than the fellow who waits for you to drop in.  We think that the list of advertisers in our columns, are entitled to consideration and that you should give it to them.

 

~Grow Corn, Get Into the Contest~

We want to interest every boy in Missouri in the Boys' Corn Growing Contest for 1913. …..Send in your name at once, secure some seed corn from a reliable grower and plan to be one of the winners.  Write me today for any information and be sure to enter the contest.  T.R. DOUGLASS, Secretary Missouri Corn Growers Association. T. R. DOUGLASS, Secretary Missouri Corn Grower’s Assoc.

 

Young Women, there is a shorter course in agriculture for you.  Are you planning to take it?  This year it runs seven weeks and begins October 31.  Better plan to go.  Woman’s work on the farm is important, noble and praise-worthy.

 

She, too, should have the best aid the Stat can render. Embrace your opportunity and keep the date in mind.   A Country Woman’s Club is thriving over most of DeSoto.  They have helpful, happy meeting.  What do you do in your neighborhood?

Authorities are saying that the best varieties of corn for this State are the Commercial White, Boone County White and Reid’s Yellow….and St. Charles White for the river bottoms of the South-east….

 

Housewives, how do you like Miss BRIGGS cooking lessons running in our column the past few weeks?  Tried any of them? [Note from transcriber – the text of these weekly published recipes has been to small to read/transcribe.]

 

Next week we shall tell you how Potosi’s Corn Show for children is put through.  Supt. Burwell FOX considers this great movement in his school work.

 

~Our School Meeting Saturday~

The Educational meeting held Saturday was highly interesting to those who were fortunate enough to attend.  Supt. Burwell FOX of Potosi, a stalwart school man gave an interesting account of the getting up of school exhibits. Miss Roberta BRUNER of Cape Girardeau gave a most excellent address upon 'Ventilation and Heating' was most able and convincing.  Our Hillsboro teachers gave excellent papers; Miss WILLIAMS on Reading and Miss BOYER upon Cooperation of Patrons and Teachers. A number of patrons also spoke. One school meeting a year ought not to be too rich for Hillsboro blood but attendance is never what it should be.

 

~Appeal To Progressive Citizens~

   The Jefferson County Record intends to devote some of its space to the formation of societies for the promotion of the public welfare.  By this we do not mean that we intend to seek to create sentiment to do impossible things, but rather to cause things to be done that are obviously needed and can be done without crippling the finances of the community, the town or city.

   We shall start at home. Hillsboro needs lots of things but it needs things that it can get without crippling anybody. We want a new cemetery fence around the rear of the cemetery. We want a road way, and we get it.  We can get the additional ground for the roadway.  We want the money to pay for the fence, for the grading of the roadway, and to have the ground plowed. Those who are interested can send the money to promote the work to the Bank of Hillsboro or the Jefferson Trust Company.  If you have the Banks notify us we will acknowledge the receipt of the money through our columns.  We want to start with 100 subscribers as $5.00 because we want enough money to put the Hillsboro Cemetery in first class shape. The Record starts the ---- with its contribution of $5.  Come on and let get busy.
