Spelling Rule Prompts Kiss for Missed Word at School
A Scott County school enforces a rule that when a girl misses a spelling word, one of the boys may kiss her if he can spell the word correctly. The room fills with spellers while the unusual penalty draws attention from residents. George Wallace, a young merchant of Old Mines, was in Potosi with a wagonload of walnuts bound for St. Louis, totaling around thirty to forty bushels. Mr. William Lorenz of Farmington, known in Potosi, died in Los Angeles, California, on a recent October. He traveled to California for rest and to mend his hearth, and had reached there only days before his death. He was connected by marriage to Mrs. Martha Wallace and Mrs. W. J. Slais of this place. A protest against a saloon license at Richwoods was filed with the County Clerk, with the county court to review the matter at the November term. This marks the first and only saloon challenge in the county, promising a lively session. Mrs. Mary Bub and her daughters, longtime managers of the Austin Motel, resigned on the 1st and left for St. Louis to establish a new home, leaving many friends and travelers who frequented the hotel to miss them. The writers hope they find contentment in their future residence.
