First Ball Game
The first ball game of the sea-
son was played Sunday after-
noon at the new ball park, Hal-
lettsville vs. Shiner. The local
team, having been organized
only a short while, put up a stiff
game for the visiting team, con-
sidering the small amount of
practice they have had this sea-
son. Up to the fourth inning no
runs were made on either side.
In the fifth inning Shiner opened
things by scoring two men. No
runs made on either side in the
sixth inning. The last three in-
nings Hallettsville scored four,
three and two making a total of
9—2 favor Hallettsville.
The fans were out in full force
and done their part in keeping
up a noise that might have been
heard as far away as Moulton.
The game was in good order
throughout excepting the second
inning, when Hallettsville had
one man down and man on base,
they succeeded in getting their
‘would be’ star batter to fan out
twice and then had the nerve to
blaim only two out for the reas^-
on, as they stated, that only two
men had batted. They done a
howling over the decision of
three men dowfi until some of
the Shiner fans convinced them
that the best thing to do was to
play ball and not expect to bat
one man all day and only call it
one out.
The Shiner team promises to
practice up and drive Ty and
Hans to the shade by their stick
work and to skin the Chicago
Cubs a city block on team work.
If Jack Henkhaus ever lands on
the pill with all his force, some
Moulton Merchant will be suing
the team for a broken window.
The other members are confi
dent that they can knock the
smoke. s<baclf off the-~-Henkhaus
gin. Don’t fail to see the next
game,
A Reception to the
1912 Graduates.
A Fine Offer*
On Friday night at the beauti-
ful home of Mrs. Ella Moeckle,
the graduates of 1912, last year’s
graduates and several others
were delightfully entertained.
Upon arrival the guests were
given a souyenir of purple and
gold ribbon, the class colors of
1912; and then shown into the
prettily decorated room where
the guests had assembled.
Several contests were greatly
enjoyed. In the first contest
Esther and Albert Dittmar were
rhe lucky ones received as a
prize a beautiful box of choco-
lates and a gold tie clasp, while
in the second contest the prizes,
a white silk fan and another gold
tie clasp, were awarded to Miss
Maude Dunn and Earl Burkett.
The guests were then dshered
into the dining room which was
also beautifully decorated in
purple and gold. The refresh-
ments consisted of peach cream
and varieties of delicious cake
were heartily enjoyed.
The hostess was ably assisted
in entertaining by her daughter
Christa and Mrs. M. E. Wdlters.
At a late hour the guests de-
parted for their homes, assuring
the hostess that this was an af-
fair which would never be for-
gotten. ThoSe present were:
Misses Freda Blohm, Esther
Hittmar, Maude Dunn, Vlasta
Marik, Ida Pfaender, Minnie
Deutsch and Loy Miller, Messrs.
Gus. Wolters, Earl Burkett,
Leslie Merrem, Albert Dittmar,
Edgar Merrem, Lottie Yalenta,

The first inheritance tax ever
collected in this county was ob-
tained this week by tax collector
Bennett from the heirs of Peter
Herksen. of Shiner, amounting
to $99.25. Herksen was a widow-
er without children. This tax
does not affect blood relations
of the first degree,* but in this
case the heirs were no blood re-
lation, but children of his step-
sister. The tax for this class of
heirs is 4 per cent, of the first
$10,000, excefit that $500 is free
from tlie tax. The estate of
Herkson is valued at $27,000.

Meitzen’s Costsments on
The Garmon Meeting.
Messrs. J. W. Ragsdale and
W. T. Bagby were the chief
orators of the Harmon meeting.
They did not mince words in tell
ing what they thought of Wilson
and the Wilson meeting at the
fire hall. Inasmuch as Wilson
stood for the initiative, referend-
um and recall and all other pro-
gressive measures they yarious-
ly described him and his follow-
ers as prohibitionists and social-
ists. One speaker dramatically
declared that the Wilson meeting
should not have been held at the
fire hall; that instead it should
have been held in the “office of
Meitzen and Hickey.” We do
not suppose the Wilson men lik-
ed this last “slam” very much;
but this office would have felt
honored to have harbored them,
for the Wilson men are a clean,
earnest, public-spirited bunch,
even if they were not Socialists;
So there!

last Sunday for Austin to attend

the democrats of Texas and the demo-
crats of the various states which be-
longs to the Federal Government.

Paint Now
If your property needs it; do-
n’t wait for the price to come
down.
There are two parts of a job:
the paint and the Work; the work
is more than the paint; and it
neyer comes-down.
The cost of paint is about two-
fifths; the work three-fifths.
Paint is up $5 an ayerage job,
and wont come-down in a hurry;
too many jobs put-off.
Men are waiting for $2 to $3;
they dont know it; they think
they are waiting for $20 or $25.
Why don’t men use their heads?
