The Texas Good Roads Asso-
ciation announced today it will
sponsor a $400 Scholarship Es-
say Contest for senior students
in Texas high schools as part
of the observance of National
Highway Week (May 20-20).
Callan Graham of Austin, ex-
ecutive vice president of the
association, said the contest will
"encourage more widespread un-
derstanding of the benefits of
better highways to our state"
and will reward winning stu-
dents with the following prizes:
First place—a $250 scholar-
ship to the college or university
of the student’s choice, plus an
expense-paid trip to Austin for
the student and parent or guar-
dian to receive the award.
Second place—a $100 scholar,
ship.
Third place—a $50 scholar-
ship.
Funds for the three winning
scholarships have been set aside
in an Austin bank. Honorable
Mention certificates will also be
awarded to worthy essays.
The contest is limited to sen-
iors in Texas high schools. En-
trants must use the title, "What
Better Highways Mean to My
Community,” and limit the es-
say to 500 words or less. En-
tries must be mailed by April
30 to the Texas Good Roads
Association, Suite One, Perry-
Brooks Building, Austin, Texas.
The essays will be judged by
a committee consisting of
Graham; Dr. DeWitt Reddick,
director of the School of Journ-
alism at The University of Tex-
as; and D. C. Greer, State High-
way Engineer. Winners will be
announced before or during
National Highway Week in May.
Graham said information on
the contest is being forwarded

ADVICE TO MARRYING MEN
—When you see a girl who can’t
even sweep her own seven-by-
nine chamber, and then goes
dancing all night with the power
of a locomotive, make up your
mind she is "got up" on bad
principles. The sooner you take
your hat and depart the better.
Such kind of calico has been the
ruin of many a good man.

MORE INDIAN DEPREDA-
TIONS—We regret to learn
rhat on Friday last, 10 Indians
visited Boerne, Blanco County,
and killed five persons, whose
bodies have been found, besides
two or three others are missing,
and it is feared are killed. The
names are Donop, about six
miles north of Boerne, Baptiste,
near Boerne, and Reonhart, liv-
ing in Boerne. Two of Kendall's
shepherds are killed, two es-
caped, and one missing. The In-
dians are finely mounted on
American horses, and do not
appear to wish to steal, but to
murder. The bodies of all the
killed had been stripped. This
is truly a lamentable state of
things. Boerne is about 35 miles
north of San Antonio, and hav-
ing hitherto been considered
safe from Indian depredations,
the people had become careless,
a fact which had probably come
to the knowledge of the savages,
hence their boldness.
We also hear that the Indians
have again visited Atascosa
County, stealing Mr. Durand’s
horses and making their escape.
September 11, 1861
We learn that Capt. Von der
Heuvel’s company of mounted
men will go in to camp tomor-
row, Thursday, and will start
in two or three days for San
Antonio. This company num-
bers about 100 men and will be
the second company from Aus-
tin County to be offered for
this service.

On the 28 ult., at 3 or 4
o’clock, in the morning, a boat
was stolen from the dock at
Galveston. At daylight the fact
was discovered, when several
boats started in pursuit and
overhauled the stolen boat, as
she was making for the block-
ader. A number of shots were
fired during the time. Two
men were found on board tho
stolen boat. Their names are
Smith and Miller, the former a
balloon man and the later an
employee in Close’s foundry.
Smith had a pocket full of news-
papers to supply the enemy with
information. Their excuse was
that they were going to Bolivar
Point. They are now on Pellican
Split under a strong guard.
There was a great deal of ex-
citment in Galveston when the
persons were brought to shore,
and a large crowd assembled
about them, among whom the
cry "hang them” was frequently
heard. They are now in posses-
sion of the military. What will
September 25, 1861
All eyes are turned in the
direction of the coast, expecting
an immediate invasion. The
troops intended for its defense
have been called for to assemble
by companies, under the orders
of the Governor at San Antonio,
Victoria, Mellican and Galves-
ton. The companies do not ap-
pear to befilling up and present-
ing themselves for muster as
rapidly as they ought. It is no
doubt because they do not know
the necessity for immediate pre-
paration; and I now say to you
that your country has called for
your services; those in authority
have said that you are needed;
if needed at all you are needed
now in order to be ready to
meet the toe at the water’s edge,
and drive him back to his ships.
Then turn out at once. Fill up
these companies and go where-
ever you are directed, trusting
in the justice of our case and
the God of nations for success,
and with a determination that
you will never quit the service
or turn your backs on the enemy
until peace is declared.

The German Battalion, under
Lt. Col. Oswald, made a hand-
some turnout yesterday after-
noon to receive a flag, present-
ed to them by a number of lad-
ies. The ceremony took place
in front of the Court House
which was handsomely adorned
with flags of various nations,
that of the Confederacy high
above all.
The windows, halls, steps and
ground adjacent were occupied
by ladies and children, the Bat-
talion being drawn up in line,
fronting the Court House, look-
ing very well. Two German
