~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~

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.

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

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?

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.

brief and proceed to ‘curtail’ his remarks by stepping on a dog that lay
stretched out on the floor and which ran yelping from the room. The papers by Misses BLUNT, HEATON, SMITH and
