Accident at light plant prompts dimmed power
Patrons of the electric light plant and the public were reminded of the value of electric light when the power house shut down about 6 oclock. The drive belt on the small machine parted yesterday causing a shut down. An attempt to run with the larger machine failed as load overtaxed the engine. Electrician Sapp traveled to St. Louis to secure a belt repair and a temporary unit, with service expected tonight. Obituary notes Mrs. Lucretia Barber of Marine who died November 21 and was buried November 23 at St. Elizabeth's church, survived by a son and three daughters and grandchildren. An epilepsy cure claim is also noted for Dr. King's New Life Pills available at S. Kingston's drug store.
