who are a jovial, hail-fellow well-
met bunch, arrived on every train
Saturday, and under the protecting
care of Jake Alexander and H. N.
Mair, they saw all the pretty scenes
at the Fair. They took in the ball
game in the afternoon, but during
the entire (lay ate sparingly of
They were awaiting
the hour for the “smoker.”
When the appointed time arrived
for the illuminated parade the drum
mers were on hand. With the flag
of freedom in the left hand and a
sulpher torch in the right, they
joined the procession and added
much to the dignity of the occasion.
They were happy. They liked La-
Grange and their stentorian voices
rent the atmosphere between the in-
tervals of the two hands with the
ever-welcome song, “How Dry I
Am.” Yes; they added dignity,
all right. After the parade they
were released until 9:30 o’clock,
and what the did to kill time was
a plenty. They huddled together in
a bunch and took possession of the
midway, won all the boxes of candy
from the lady who conducted the
wheel of fortune, had their fortunes
told by the American gypsy, saw
wonderland, lassoed the rearing
steeds of the merry-go-round and
gave the people an illustration of
military maneuvers on the plat-
form.
At 9:30 they had become quiet
and assembled at the dining hall of
the Lester hotel, where genial pro-
prietor, H. C. Zingelmann and his
estimable wife, at the the instiga-
tion of the local post, had prepared
a ‘‘smoker.” The guests and mem-
bers of the post numbered about
thirty, and when they were seated
at the large table there was merri-
ment that wafted care to the winds.
After an offer of blessing, the
good things that satisfy the “in-
nards” were acceptable, and the
president of the post, in behalf of
that organization and of the mayor
of the city, who was unavoidably
detained, welcomed the knights to
the best city in the State—La-
Grange. The response to this was
made by the veteran drummer, J.
W. Graves, who having taken part
in many such occasions, gave the
party some eloquence that added
much to the evening’s program.
Numerous toasts and good wishes
were made and responded to by
guests and members, and then the
boys returned to the Casino grounds
and helped to close the Eair.
Being one of those fortunate to
have been included in the list of
guests, the writer feels that one of
the most pleasant evenings he ever
spent was with the jolly boys Sat-
urday night. They have always j
been dear to us, and will ever be,
so long as the spirit of enjoyment
of good folks’ company is with us.
As regards the action of Post L, we
commend it. May it be soon re-
peated.
S. W. Huddleston writes us from
Cuero that his firm has transferred
him from San Marcos to the first
named city, where he will continue
to sell lumber. But for the fact
that he was moving at the time, he
would have been a visitor to the
fair.

That LaGrange lias the better
team of the two was demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all last week,
when they defeated in three straight
games the boys from Smithville.
The first two games were entirely
one-sided, but the third game cre-
ated so much excitement that some
of the spectators who had appoint-
ments forgot them and saw a strug-
gle for eleven innings. In the
first half of the eleventh, the score
being 2 to 2, the locals opened a
batting rally and forced three men
across the home station. The visi-
tors, determined to do something,
soon had two men on bases, but
they remained. The locals put the
finishing touches in short order,
and the anxiety was over. The
score: 5 to 2.
Friends of the old veteran as-
sembled at the hospitable farm
home last Sunday afternoon and
assisted Grandpa John Vogt in cel-
ebrating the 78th anniversary of
of his natal day. Mr. Vogt has
been a patient sufferer for some
time from ailments peculiar to the
aged, but of late he has been im-
proving, and the greetings of his
friends Sunday were instrumental
in making the day a pleasurable
one to him and his estimable wife.
Thh Journal heartily wishes him
many happy returns of the day.

The creamery at this place made
20,444 pounds of butter during the
month of April, and paid out the
neat sum of $4,208.81 for butter
fat. Not a bad showing. An ad-
dition is being built, and when
completed another churn will be
added. It will pay any town to
start a creamery.
The cemetery association held a
business meeting at Mrs. H. W.
Harrison’s Friday afternoon. After
the meeting, tea was served and
quite a neat sum realized.

ANOTHER
WOMAN
CURED
By Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Gardiner, Maine.—" I have been a
great sufferer from organic troubles
and a severe female
weakness. The
doctor said I would
have to go to the
hospital for an
operation, but I
could not bear to
think of it 1 de
m
a
cided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound
and Sanative w ash
— and was entirely
-.cured after three
months’ use of them.”—Mrs. 8. A.
Williams, R. F. D. No. 14, Box 3»,
Gardiner, Me.
No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive-
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and renewer of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
It cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it a trial.

Mrs. Ida Zoll, whose death was
mentioned in last week’s issue,
died May 4 and her remains were
intered in the Lutheran cemetery,
Rev. V. Pazdral of West, officiat-
ing. Mrs. Zoll, nee Miss Ida
Spies, was bom in Fayette county
February, 1859, and was married
to Geo. Zoll of this place in 1883.
Four daughters and a husband sur-
vive her. The Sunday school sing-
ers took part in the ceremonies at
the church, and at the grave the
Msennerchor sang. A large con-
course was present to administer
the last tribute to a lady who was
beloved by all who knew her. The
death of Mrs. Zoll came as a great
shock to her legion of friends, and
it might truly be said that the en-
tire city mourns. As,a mother, her
love illumined her home and made
it happy; as a wife, her devotion to
her husband was ever loyal; and
as a friend and neighbor she was
universally liked. May she rest in
peace.

The court of criminal appeals on
Wednesday took up the appeal of
John Janca, convicted of murder—
the killing of his wife—and affirm-
ed the judgment of the lower court.
The court gave its opinion that
there was no error sufficient for a
reversal of judgment. Janca was
tried and convicted at the fall term
of the district court. At the mid-
night hour he stepped up. to the
bed containing his sleeping wife
and shot her with a shot gun.

Quick deliveries and satisfac-

Last Friday night Miss Leila
Mennike, by carelessly casting
aside a burning match with which
she had ignited the lamp in the bed
room, set fire to the window curtains.
The rapidity with which the -cur-
tains were destroyed and the quick
igniting of shades and wall paper
necessitated hasty action. The
flames were extinguished, but the
young lady was so unfortunate as
to have her hand and arms burned.
