Editor Journal:
Saturday evening a heavy rain
fell here. The Bell Settlement
section being visited by a* severe
hail storm the same evening. Much
damage was done. Crops destroy-
ed or partly so, and window panes
shattered being part of the storm’s
work. Large sire hail fell for a-
bout twenty minutes.
Herbert Manske and Paul Muel-
ler, two of Waldeck’s popular young
men returned the past week from
San Marcos where they had been
attending the normal. Both were
successful in passing the required
examination. We congratulate
these young people on their deserv-
ed success.
Mr. Albers will give a dance
here the coming Saturday. Prof.
Wendler’s band will furnish excel-
lent music. The public is invited.
Mr. Ed. Hill, formerly of near
here, but now of Houston, spent
several days of the past week visit-
ing here with relatives and friends.

Alma, the two-year-old daughter
of Fritz Mischer and wife, living
near here, died on the 1 ith instant.
She was buried the next day in the
Florida Chapel cemetery at War-
renfon. The parents have the sym-
pathy of the entire community.
Mrs. Jos. Mikas, who was recent-
ly hurt by a runaway team, has re-
covered from her injuries. A pair
of mules hitched to a cultivator
took fright and ran away. While
passing near the lady a trace chain
broke loose and struck her on the
forehead, cutting a large gash and
rendering her unconscious.
A large number of our people at-
tended the fair at LaGrange last
week and report a delightful time.
„W. B. Meinardus and Miss Ade-
lia Meinen were married at the Lu-
theran church at Warrenton Sun-
afternoon. Rev. Boshard officiat-
ed. The happy couple left the
same evening for Austin and other
places, to spend the honeymoon.
They will reside at this place,
where the groom has a responsible
position with the Voelkel-Addicks-
Weber Company. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Dick
Meinen of the Walhalln neighbor-
hood, and for several years taught
the Prairie Valley school, uear
Plum. We extend our best wishes
aud congratulations.

Editor Journal:
The weather is fair at present
but a heavy rain fell last Saturday
all over this section. All streams
were swollen.
Mayor Ed. Sarrazin had an ele-
gant gallery erected to his hand-
sojne residence recently by Messrs.
F. C. Zelesky and Peter Munseh.
A large crowd attended the Fair
at LaGrange and all report a grand
time, especially John Topolanek,
who was there Friday helping the
Baca band.
The band boys had scarcely re-
turned when they again boarded
the train for Greenvine, Texas,
where they played for the Maitest.
LaGrange Fairs are always enjoy-
able, that’s why Fayetteville folks
go there.
A plot to wreck the No. 6, Katy
Flyer, about two miles east of town
on the 13th inst., was discovered
at the critical moment by the engi-
neer. The engine draggged a tie
over fifty-eight tie lengths and was
brought to a stand just in front o
another pile of ties lying across the
track. The discovery made by the
engineer no doubt saved many lives
and rolling property. The track
was cleared and although carefully
examined by local officers and the
company’s detectives, nothing fur-
ther developed.
Dr. J. W. Waldrop, has received
a new switch board for the rural
telephones in connection with the
long distance service and the new
line known as the Sunrise Tele-
phone Company. Everything is
working nicelj, and ere long the
service will extend over the entire
adjacent country. At present the
switch is located at Kubena’s store
but later The Fayetteville Drug
Company, which now manages the
long distance phone, will assume
charge.
Dr. Waldrop deserves great cred-
it for his untiring efforts to place
phones in every rural residence, as
this will mean great convenience
to the farmer. The cost being low
the new enterprise will undoubtedly
meet with general favor.
Postmaster Hotmann was on the
sick list for several days, but today
reported for duty.
Postal Inspector Roberts dropped
in one day last week and found ev-
erything satisfactory at the postot-
fice.

ported sick last week, but is now

bud Saturday to visit with relatives.

itor Friday.

Card of Thanks.
With aching yet grateful hearts
we turn to the friends in this city,
who, when death invaded our home
and removed therefrom our beloved
and only daughter, were so good
and kind as to make our loss light-
er by their kindnessess and words
of comfort. While we hope you
will be spared a similar affliction
in this life, we also hope that when
such shoujd come to you, you will
find the same good kind people
ready to cheer you and make your
loss less burdensome by their deeds
of kindness. We express to all our
sincere thanks.
