A Farewell Reception.
Members of Bismarck Lodge No.
‘8, and of the LaGrange Casino
Gesellschaft united in their efforts
Monday night, in tendering1* to F.
G. Heim and family a farewell
reception at the Casino, and as a
result the occasion was made a
most pleasant and notable one.
The attendance was large, the pro-
gram in the . hand of George E.
Lenert, and admirably carried out.
After the crowd had gathered,
they assembled on the large bal-
cony and, with Baca’s band of
Fayetteville, furnishing the music,
Mr. and Mrs. Heim and daughter,
Miss Elviera, entered the hall and
were escorted to a seat in the cen-
ter of the assembly. Geo. Lenert
in making the introductory re-
marks, stated the purpose of the
gathering, and asked his hearers
to join him in extending good
Wishes to the guests of honor. Fol-
lowing Mr. Lenert came several
who spoke in the German lan-
guage, and then the German song
“Lorelei,’’ in which a large chorus
joined, was rendered.
Several of the family’s friends
made appropriate remarks in
English, in which they expressed
their regrets at having so estimable
a family to leave us, and com-
mending them to the good people
of San Antonio where they will,
in the future, reside. Some beauti-
ful expressions, such as wind
themselves about the heart were
made, touching the guests to such
an extent that when Fred Heim
essayed to respond, he found it
necessary to pause frequently in
order to recover his speech.
Following came the announce-
ment that the dance was on; with
enlivening music the grand march
was begun, after which the crowd,
very jolly, continued in the merry
whirl until the midnight hour had
passed. Lunch and refreshments
were lavishly served.
A Timely Correction.
As mentioned in the issue of
last week the “side-walk day’’
was good to talk about, so good
that all cannot be said in one issue.
So we have extended it to this
week. No^pfie is sorry that we had
sidewalk day, but many there are
who are ready to say a good word
in its behalf, and likewise there
are many who would like to see it
extended and other walks built;
and there are many who would
like to see a street day started. In
giving the- names of the school
boys, who worked a day or a part
of a day the following should have
been included: George Schaefer,
Homer Rabb, Bernhard Speckels,
Leroy Homuth, A. V. Smith,
Edwin Schultz, Lewis Eastland,
Robert Woody, Vladimir Koss,
Bert Otto and Ivan Knolle.
These boys did faithful work,
and when they become men they
will pay their poll taxes and vote
for good streets and good roads.
And then our alderman friend,
John R. Koenig—big jolly John—
with a willingness and a smile,
was another, with teams, shovel
and vim, who worked from early
morn until late, improving walks
in the fourth ward. • * • *
Excellent for Stomach Trouble.
Married Monday.
vAt the Bluff Catholic church
Monday morning, where many re-
latives and friends had gathered to
witness the ceremony, Rev. Neu-
bert spoke the words that united
in marriage, Ignac J. Cernosek
and Miss Fannie Panpa. Immedi-
ately after the two wfeie wedded,
they, in company with the guests
repaired to the home of the bride’s
mother and partook of a good, old-
fashioned wedding spread. The
celebration of the event continued
throughout the day.
Mr. and Mrs. Cernosek came to
LaGraqtffe the same evening, and
have gone to housekeeping in the
F. b. Heim home in the northern
part of the city. The bride was
formerly a saleslady in the employ
of the Heintze-Speckels Company,
and the young husband, at present
employed by the satie firm, have
many friends here who wish them

Mrs. W. H. Thomas, Pres.
Mrs. L. V. Vanek, Sec’y.
Called to Rest.
Scarcely had our last issue reach-
.ed its subscribers, informing them
of a change for the better in Louis
Rice's condition, when he sudden-
ly collapsed and passed into peace-
ful, eternal slumber. The sad
news, when circulated was not ac-
cepted, and many who had mani-
fested much concern during his
illness hurried to his late home,
hoping that the report would be
only a rumor, but it proved other-
wise. The friendly, elderly gentle-
man, whom all, old and young,
loved and respected, had given up
the battle of life and joined the
rapidly increasing majority.
Louis Rice was an example of
that plain, honest, ever-cheerful
and friendly gentlemen, who loved
life and the good he could do for
others. His golden rule: “do
unto others as you would be done
by” was followed throughout his
entire life without an exception;
’though afflicted with many ad-
versities and misfortunes, he never
complained, and his memory will
remain as an example to those who
essay to have the good opinion of
mankind honestly tendered.
In times past he was a success-
ful, merchant, successful in spite of
his unguarded willingness to con-
tribute to the comfort of others.
None in need applied to him with-
out being rewarded, and no one
who knew him well,could encourage
an unkindly feeling toward him.
He loved music, and in his early
youth participated in many func-
tions of national renown. Born in
Germany he left for the Suuny
South and eventually became one
of us. His nature,so much in accord
with that of the true Southerner,
made him a legion of friends wher-
ever he went, and when he located
here at LaGrange, he landed in
the camp of those most numerous.
For years he conducted a photo
studio ip this city, and in June,
1906, was united in marriage with
Miss Sidonia Praetorius who with
one child, and three children by
former marriages are th« chief
mourners. As the husband of his
present widow, hq was ever kind
and considerate. The years of
their married life were contentful
and happy, and the sympathy of
the community is tendered to her,
her boy, and his other children.
Louis Rice died Thursday after-
noon, about one o’clock. Only a
few moments prior to his response

i prior
to the roll can, he was visited by
friends with whom he conversed
cheerfully and willingly. Yet he
knew hii weakened body could not
longer stand the battle. “I am
not asking for death, but am will
ing to go,” said he, without being
solicited. He, upon several oc-
casions had expressed the belief
that the time allotted to him would
soon expire, and the result was as
he had predicted. How few of us
are thus prepared?
When I die,” said he to Rev.
Haygood, I want you to bury me,
and true to his promise the reverned
gentleman assisted the deceased's
Masonic brethren in administering
the last sad rites Saturday morning
at the old cemetery, in the pre-
sence of a large number of relatives
and friends. Floral tributes, num
erous and beautiful, bedecked his
mound. Under such ' tokens of
love and esteem and with a con-
science clear, and lulled to sleep,
may he rest peacefully.

L. J. B. Rose, Madison street,

stiff and sore. My back often
seemed as though it would break,
and all ray ambition left. I also
had trouble from the kidney secre-
tions, and at times the passages
were painful. Doan’s Kidney
Pills sosn fixed me up as well as
ever and I have never suffered from
kidUey complaint since. You can
