Shiner, Lavaca County Texas, Thursday Morning, September, 15 1927.
Number 45
Commercial Club
and Shiner Community
The meeting held Saturday
3;30 p, m. at the Opera House,
was well attended.
M. I. Bozka explained the
purpose of this meeting, also in-
troduced Prof. Lloyd, who out-
lined his duties as well as his
program here. His talk was
greatly enjoyed by all, the
evidence of this was shown by
the applauses received.
Questions discussed were,
first, of all Co Operative market-
ing of our live stock as well as all
surplus crops.
Second, Co Operative Bull
Circles.
Every one present showed
great interest in the move and
same was endorsed by all. J. H.
Elsik was asked to appoint a
committee to work among far-
mers and list all live stock for
shipment. The following were
appointed; Jake Kurtz Jr., Her-
man Caka, John Novak, Herman
(Continued from last week)
Coldewey.
Leo Hrcek, Joe
Seidenberg r, Loddie V ladenka,
WmHoerig, J. II Elsik, and M.
I. Bozka, who was asked to act
as chairman of the above com-
mittee.
Some people still do not re-
alize that the purpose of Co-
Operation is not to quit raising
cotton, it is only to aid us to
dispose of our surplus to best
advantage. Others take no in-
terest in this move because they
believe in cotton and all they
are interested in is a higher
price for it. Our commuuity al-
ways was, is, and will be a
cotton community. To control
cotton prices we must get out of
debt and be in a position to hold
our crop for better prices. If last
year we had been able to do this
cotton never would have gone
down to ten cents and we could
have sold our crop at a fair price.

Marriage Solemnized
At Morning Ceremony
An outstanding wedding of the
early autum was that of Miss
Cora Berckenhoff and Leon L.
Maker which took place at 7:30
at the home of the brides par-
i ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bercken-
hoff, with Father L. P. Netardus
reading the ceremony. Herbert
J. Wolters and Frank Maker,
brother of the groom, served as
witnesses. Only the immediate
families represented were pres-
ent. The home was adorned
with Heavenly vine and add-
itional vases of white flowers.
The wedding vows were spoken
in an alcove of the parlor, where
the same floral effect and color-
ing lent a note of charm to the
quietly solemnized service. The
bride was given in marriage by
her father. She wore a beautiful
costume of sand colored crepe
romaine, hand embroidered in
pastel shades. All accessories
blended in harmonizing effect.
She carried an arm bouquet of
summer asters in Pastel shades,
inter-woven with lace fern and
orchid tulle.
The brides going away costume
was an attractive fall creation
in navy georgette. Following the
nuptial ceremony, iced punch
and angel food was served. After
a few days spent in Corpus
Christi and other places, the
young couple will be at home at
Wilson, Texas, where the groom
completes the cotton season. The
wedding is of cordial interest to
this entire community, both par-
ticipants having grown to young
man and young womanhood in
our midst and uniting representa-
tive families of this section. The
bride is a graduate of Shiner
High, class of 1922. She spent
one year at the Lady of the
Lake in San Antonio. Chra
has always identified herself
with all leading and laudable
organizations of the community
and will be greatly missed in
these circles which she so charm-
ingly graced. The groom is a
graduate of the Slaton High
School and also of Commercial
College- He followed book keep-
ing for awhile but later launched
out into the cotton business. He
is a young man of likable per-
sonality and exemplary habits.
Scores of friends will join the
Gazette in sincere good wishes
“May the compass of love steer
the old, yet ever new matrimonal
ship into the harbor of happiness
land contentment.”

A Typical Yoakam
Breakfast
Our City Attorney, Leslie C.
Merrem, wore an unsually broad
grin this morning. Asking the
reason, he told us that he enjoy-
ed a gas cooked breakfast this
morning. Looking him over a
bit closely j for we remembered
his profession, we found eviden-
ces of breakfast all right. The
Southwest Gas Company cor-
roborated Mr. Merrems state-
ment, which officially makes Mr.
Merrem tlje first user of gas in
Yoakum. In a private interview
he admitted that he liked gas
first rate but it was hard to blow
out when he had finished.

Celebration A Success
The annual celebration and
bazaar given by the Catholic
Parish of Shiner, Sunday at
Bluecher Park, was largely at-
tended. All kinds of amusements
for young and old was furnished.
The dinner was one of the most
bounteous ever served. Good
music throughout the day and
night was furnished and both
old and young seemed to have
enjoyed themselves,
Miss Margaret Rossy, who
spent the summer with her sis-
ter, Mrs. Louis Fink, left last
week for Denton, where she will
attend C. I. A. for the coming
term. Miss Rossy made many
friends in Shiner and was the
recipient of a number of de-
lightful social courtesies.
