Braunfels,
This being Monday morning
it occured to me that the En-
terprise management might ap-
preciate a handful of news i-
tems from this neck of the
woods.
A nice, refreshing shower fell
here Wednesday of last week,
^and was supplemented by an-
l other the following day, but un-
: less we shall be supplied with a
i more abundant supply of the
> precious moisture, we fear that
j the stiff breeze blowing from
i the south together with the
' penetrating hot rays of the sun
j will soon absorb the moisture
i and place us in the same posi-
tion as heretofore.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Becker
and two little daughters of
Buescher were visiting their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Stallbaum, last Sunday.
Mrs. W. J. Dobbs and two
little daughters of Dallas are
sojourning in this locality with
Mrs. Dobb’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. A. P. Beck, and other re-
latives.
W. H. Lefkin and George Kol-
ler of Weimar passed through
this section last week buying
cattle.
Mr. and Mrs. Erdman and son
accompanied by Mrs Elo Fehren-
I kamp and son of Glidden paid
j this vicinity a short ■ visit Fri-
day night.
Mrs. Fehrenkamp and small
son accompanied Mr. Fehren-
kamp to San Antonio where
they will reside in the future.
They went overland in their car.
Prior to her marriage Mrs. Feh-
renkamp was a daily companion
and chum of the writer, and it
is but natural that our friend-

to good for his family, and yet
he voted against a ten . cents
maintenance tax for the sup-
port of his school.
By the way the
published at New
stated in its colums last, week,
that a well-to-do stockman in
one of the adjacent counties,
had been appointed election
manager for a certain school
tax election for the purpose of
enabling the taxpayers to de?
cide among themselves whether
or not they wanted to tax them-
selves for school purposes. The
election manager remained at
the polls the whole day but none
of his neighbors appeared to
cast their vote, either pro or
con. At the closing time the
manager voted for the tax and
made his return to the Com-
missioners Court accordingly.
The Commissioners canvassed
the lection returns and declared
the result 1 to 0 in favor of the
tax. Vote your convictions and
don’t depend on your neighbors
doing the voting while your ene
mies do the kicking.
Upon petition by the required
number of taxpayer's the county
judge has ordered an election
to be held in Common Schoo’.
District No. 10, which includes
Rockhouse and Schoenau, on
Saturday, July 11, 1925, to de-
termine whether the propert.
taxpaying voters of said com-
mon school district favor the
issueing of schoolhouse bond-
to’the extend of S5000.
The county boqrd of educa-
tion at its last session divided
said territory into two separate
districts in order to give the
patrons of the formerly very
i awkwardly shaped district, an
opportunity to manage
school affairs in a more
factory manner.
As far as we are able
certain the trustees
Rockho.use-district have not yet
* 'definitely decided upon the ex-
act location for their consolidat-
ed school, but we presume it
will be near the center of the
> district or in the center of the
\ scholastic population.
In our neighboring county,
.Colorado, two independent and
Mbfour common school district a-
■■opted bond issues to enable

Bie educational affairs of their
^H|spective districts. In a few
Bore years, whereever practic-

But somehow we neglect our

children themselves look with
disfavor upon their small

to send them to a larger school
where they have an opportunity gf July
to be "amongst the people.”

Texas has the best roads. Okla-

also Kansas, but not so in Mis-

travelled the greater portion are
paved or have a coat of gravel.
All roads are well graded, and
well maintained by the highway
department. All roads are well
supplied with mile posts giving-
directions etc. We traveled the
K. T., Jefferson, and U. P. high-
way. Three-fourths of the cars
-we met were tourists. People
from all over the states, espe-
cially from California, were
seen traveling north. When a

tain whether the occupants are-
travelers or joy riders. The

■ W. C. Spreen, one of the pro-
gressive and thoughtful citi-
zens of Industry has under con-
struction a store building of
unusual large size and dimen-
sions. The store building will
be constructed of hollow tile
brick and be covered with a
gravel asphalt roof. The build-
ing will be 72 feet in width and
74 feet in length, and be divid-
ed into three compartments.
One apartment is intended for
the use of a general merchan-
dise business, one to serve as a
furniture store and the other to
be used as a tinshop, says Re-
port. The upper one half story
will provide space for Mr.
Spreen’s picture show.
This building will add much
to the appearance of our neigh-
boring town and is the best e-
vidence that Mr. Sp'ffee'n Relieves
in a greater Industry.
By the way, we lost track of
the West End’s development
from the time of its first coloni-
zation and are not. prepared to
say with any degree of certain-
ty which of the two larger
towns in the West End is the
"big brother”. We know from
past records that Bellville
claims Kenney as its “big
brother” but we have never
heard this name being applied
to either New Ulm or Industry
when relationship is claimed
between these two towns of th?
West End.
