A sad gloom hovered over the
Pisek community Tuesday
morning of last week when the
unexpected tidings were flashsd
over the rural phone announcing
that Edmund Minar, aged 13
years, 5 months and 28 days,
had bid his loved ones a parting
farewell and that his precious
soul had winged its way to its
heavenly father.
Deceased was the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Minar and
was a bright lad of exceptionally
fine traits of character. He was
sick less than a week and under
medical treatment of Dr. B J.
Fehrenkamp, who did his ut-
most to save the boy’s life but
in vain, death claimed him in
spite of all the careful treatment
and nursing that was given him
He was an excellent companion
to his playmates and was em-
bibed with the spirits of love
and truthfulness towards his
parents, brothers and sisters.
Interment took place We nes-
day arternoon at 4 o’clock in the
Catholic cemetery at Frelsburg,
Rev. James Masolon of Colum-
bus conducting the impressi e
funeral rites.
Rest in peace!

trade and denies some men the
privilege of a rake off to which
they are probably entitled as a
matter of business associatim
with the farmers. We do not
sanction the scheme but since
the cotton is gone, let us get the
straight of it, and bear
that the farmer is not
sucker that longs for
verbial gold brick. All
every walk of life, occasionally
do things that the other fellow
dislikes or disapprove.
Mr. Trenckmann still has a
lot of unlimited credence in the
people of his native county for
hesitated in publicity condemn-
ing the action of the farmers of
the west end who sold their cot-
ton at a sacrifice, in the event
their speculations go wrong.
Editor Trenckmann also feeb
a little sore towards
of Austin County for
to publish the news
bereous punishment
the person of Dr. Waldrop of
Sealy, by unknown parties. The
Enterprise management made a
diligent effort to secure reliable
information concerning the out
rageous affair and would cer-
tainly have put its stamp of dis-
approval upon such an unameri-
can and cowardly deed, had it
been possible to obtain reliable
details.
We know too well that the sub-
scribers of a paper pay for the
local news instead of the pape«’s
sarcasm, but we prefer to omit
news from the columns of the
Enterprise rather than giving a
general mix up to our readers.
Knowing good and well that
more than fifty per cent of the
Austin Countv news items pub
ILhed in “Das Wochenblatt” are
culled from the pages of the En-
terprise, we fqcl inclined to be-
lieve that the bint was pointed
directly at us.
This assumption if true, how-
ever, will not weaken our friend-
ly relations with “Das Wochen-
blatt” for the reason that we
are fully aware that the papers
of Austin County are guilty to
the charge brought against
them.
In last week’s issue of “Das
Woohenblatt,” published and
edited by W. A. Trenckmann
of Austin, editor Trenkmann re-
fers to an article, said to have
been printed by the Brenham
Banner Pi ess, branding the
trio of foreign cotton buyers
who were stationed at New
Ulm for an entire week, as
swindlers and impostors.
We hardly believe that those
men deserve the epithet that was
applied to them simply because
they did business with farmers.
If an oil stock salesman appears
and persuades a score of men to
purchase oil shares aggregating
many thousands of dollars which
later on prove to be worthless,
the matter will not be given
publicity for the reason that thi
victims aver that a man has a
constitutional right to spend his
money to his own liking.
To be sincere, we never spoke
to the cotton buyers but we saw
them go out into the country
quite frequently, always accom-
panied by a local man, whom,
we understand, tlrny paid fifty
cents cash for each bale of cot-
ton they bought.
The buyers showed creden
tials, purporting having been
issued them by American offici-
a4s, which, we were told, was
equal to a permit authorizing
them to do business in the Unit-
ed States, to the amount of sev-
enty thousand dollars, which
money, they claimed, was actu-
ally on deposit in the coffers of
fNew York and San Ant nio
banks.
The men offered a three thou-
sand mark bond, valued at about
$42.00, maturii gon July 15, 1924
for every bale of cotton, irre
spective of weight and classifica-
tion. When there was a demand
for it, they paid some cash and
gave mark bonds for the balance.
The Bank and Trust Company
of San Antonio offered to ad-
vanced $35.00 on each 3000 mark
bond on condition that the bonds
be redeemed at the expiration of
a certain time. The bonds were
demanded as collateral security
and are subject to forfeiture if
not redeemed at the time agreed
upon.
About 120 light bales, all low
grade cotton, were delivered to
the buyers at the freight station
at New Ulm. More than a hun-
dred bales sold were.not deliver-
ed and the agreement ordered
cancelled. Some farmers had
gone almost half ways to New
Ulm with their cotton and then
turned back for fear they were
getting stung. The farmers
were paid cash for hauling the
cotton to the station.
The cotton was billed to W. D.
Cleveland & Sons, Houston,
Texas for compressing and
storage until a cargo had accum-
ulated. .
The rumor that the cotton was
later sold in Houston to the
highe st bidder for cash is em-
phatically denied.

another is between A. Kristen’s
shop and the school house to-
wards New Ulm, and another

post office to the blacksmith
shop is already fixed. Now

that the remaining two places
are very imvortant and should
be taken in hand by every body

Some thirty odd farmers met
at Industry Sunday morning to
discuss the erection of a Cooper-
nive stoie at that place. The
meeting was presided over by
J. C. Buenger and Adolf Mieth.
Some strong and some weak
points were brought up for dis-
cussion and after the close of
the meeting the general trend of
the affair seemed to indicate that
the farmers m^an business.
Just how soon the proposition
will materialize is altogetl er a
native of conjecture. The
credit system seems to be the
cause of the opposition with the
object of profiteeling, during
the war period, as a close second.

Mrs. Emil Muesse of Needvil e
Ford Bend County, arrived at
New Ulm one day last -week to
visit her former neighbors a-d
friends. Mrs. Muesse is now
visiting her mother, Mrs. Ernst
Richter and other relatives in
the New Ulm Prairie section.
Edmund Eckermann of near
Industry turned out an extra
fine quality of sorghum molas-
ses this past season, and has a
limited quantity on hand for
sale. The product is fine and
the price reasonable. Home
made syrup beats the manu-
factured product all to pieces.
Try it.
Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Muenzler
and children motored to Houston
Saturday morning to visit their
next of kin, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Fuchs formerly of Schoenau.
From Houston the party pro-
ceed-1 d to Galveston to enjoy tie
sights of the Oleander City and
to tal e a plunge into the salt
brine. They returned much re-
freshed and invigorated and re-
sumed their usual routine of
business in the best of spirits.
Last week cards were receiv-
ed by relatives and friends in
which Mr. and Mrs. Aug. Vogel-
sang announced the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Ella, to
Leonard Wm. Henniger on Wed-
nesday, August 17, 1921, at Bal-
linger, Texas. The groom is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Henniger, who formerly resided
at Rockhouse for many years.
Mrs. Henniger is a sister 1o
August and Herman Eckermann,
also to Mrs. Herman Dudensing
of Rockhouse.
Mr. and Mrs. Hubert R>nn
and children, Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Buenger and daughter, Miss
Mundina Rinn and Miss Cora
Schulze, motored to Yoakum last
week for a week’s sojourn among
relatives. The trip was made
via Colurhbus, Weimar, Schulen-
burg and Halletsville. The
party went in two cars and en-
joyed the trip very much. Miss
Schulze remained at Halletsville
while the others continued their
trip to Yoakum. Mr. Rinn, who
is very conservative in estimat-
ing crop conditions, informed
the writer that tr.e outlook is
far below the average and that
in many instances cattle were
seen grazing in the fields.
A quorum of Bellville singers
came up Sunday evening in re-
sponse to an invitation of the
Schoerau amateurs to spend a
few hours under the huge shade
trees in Herman Schroeder’s
pastu re and to partake of extra
tine barbecued meats, bread t
pickles and the like. They sang
a few songs to cheer up the
audience as of yore. The entire
membership indicated, by word
and gesture, that they were
lovers of music and not singing
as if under the lash. An evening

Cotton picking is now in full
swing, and several farmers have
-1acted to haul in corn. Most of
he farmers around here are
making a bumper corn crop this
year, selling the corn for 65 and
75 cents per bushel.
A good soaking rain is badly
eeded in this s-ction, especially
for the pasture and sweet pota-
toes. Some farmers have al-
ready turned their cattle in their
fields on account of shortness of
grass in the pastures.
