~Trip to Kimmswick~
The editor had business at
Kimmswick last week and went up Thursday evening. Gus A. WENOM met us at the
depot and we spent the evening in his comfortable and hospitable home. We found "Uncle" Freeman D. WATERS
snugly ensconced in his den with easy chairs, a good library and all home
comforts about him. Next morning after
Gus had completed his chores he took us out to view the chicken pens of
"Red Wing Farm." Mrs. WENOM is
the sole proprietor and has a fine colony of Rhode Island Reds on hand and
incubators turning them out at regular intervals. We find that the chicken business has grown
to numerous proportions in and around Kimmswick, and on or way out to

The many friends of Fred E.
OBERMILLER will be glad to learn that in the reorganization of the Missouri
Bell Telephone Company that his faithful and efficient work as superintendent
of the construction has won him promotion at the hands of the new
management......
~Fire at Pevely~
What might have been a very
destructive fire was averted last Thursday by prompt and efficient volunteer
firemen led by Henry HENKEL. A bachelor
name McKEEVER was getting his breakfast upstairs in
the HENKEL store building when the gasoline stove for some reason exploded and
set the room on fire. The whole room was
wrapped in flames and was badly charred and burned before the flames were
finally subdued. Had the store building
burned, it is quite certain that four or five other buildings that almost
adjoin the store must inevitably have been destroyed. This suggests the thought that we have
frequently expressed, that every little town ought to have some sort of fire
organization and it should be organized before, not after, the holocaust.

Mrs.
MAHONEY's class near Kimmswick.
A very pleasing and
instructive musical was given at the residence of Mr. R. LANGEHENNIG of Moss
Hollow road on Saturday, February 25th, by Mrs. Lillie MAHONEY and her
pupils. An elegant luncheon was served
by Mrs. LANGEHENNIG.
The program was a very
excellent one and embraced piano selections, both solos and duets. Those taking part were Misses Edna and Mamie
SMITH, Augusta and Freda DIERKS, Pearl HEMME and Emily LANGHENNING. Vocal selections were rendered most pleasingly
by the Misses Augusta DIERKS, Pearl HEMME, Edna SMITH, Emily LANHENNING, Mamie
SMITH and Freda DIERKS.

Last Wednesday evening the
Elks held one of the most sumptuous banquets and card parties ever held in this
city. During the early part of the
evening, those present engaged in playing progressive pitch which was most
highly enjoyed by those who made use of the six tables. At twelve-thirty they retired to the banquet
table. The room decorated in purple, the
Elk's color and with carnations. But the
principal decorations were as follows: Roast squab on toast stuffed with
mushrooms; potatoes on half shell, au gratin; lettuce salad; French dressing,
olives, sweet pickles, imported Rhine wine, Charlotte Russe,
coffee, fruit and cigars. The event was
certainly delightful and enjoyed by all.
Mr. and Mrs. P.P. HINCHEY
entertained at whist on Tuesday evening February 28. The guests numbered thirty-six assembled
shortly after eight and very soon all were greatly interested in progressive
whist. At the close of ten rounds of

the gentlemen's went to Dr. BLISS. And after many words of thanks the guests
took leave of their host and hostess.

~Birthday Surprise~
About a dozen ladies, who are
neighbors and friends, walked into the PILLIARD home Monday afternoon and
reminded Mrs. PILLIARD that it was her birthday and no family secret. The surprise was complete as the Birthday
Club died a natural death months ago. The truth of the matter was that the happy
affair was the scheme of her young daughter, Eva, who baked the cakes and
whispered the invitations about the neighborhood. It was certainly a graceful and grateful
tribute from a thirteen year old girl to her mother, who is proverbially
generous in providing pleasure for her own children and their young
friends. Mrs. PILLIARD received a number
of presents and seemed very happy and her guests certainly were.
~Arrested~
Charge: Felonious Assault
Edw. R. HOOD was arrested by

between Dr. Geo. W. ELDERS and HOOD, concerning a bill owed to Dr. ELDERS, and
discovering a knife in HOOD's hand, warned ELDERS, whereupon HOOD closed up the
knife and proceeded to paste EAVES with a good sized rock, bruising and cutting
up his head in vigorous fashion. HOOD
gave bond yesterday in the sum of $500 for his appearance March 18th before
W.L. STONE, J.P. for preliminary examination.

Brother MARBURY of the Festus
News thinks the collector did a fearful thing when he turned over $20,000
before the end of the year to meet current expenses. The taxes for 1910 were for the expenses of
1910, and if Brother MARBURY will stop and think, he will realize that
Collector HELLER did what he should have done.
The county's obligations have to be paid and the time to pay them is
when you have the money. Does Brother MARBURY believe the present court anxious
to repudiate the obligations of the county?
We think not.
Col. McMULLIN,
the talented and handsome editor of the Jefferson Democrat in a recent article
concerning HADLEY's administration charged the administration with
extravagance, etc. He forgot to mention
the fact that the Democracy has been in the saddle during HADLEY's entire
administration in the Legislature branch of the government and that the
Legislature, not the Executive is responsible for the expenditures. If people were not posted, perhaps the
versatile editor of the J.D. might fool somebody into believing his story. It is a well known fact that the
