Mrs. Alice McKinnon
Mrs. Alice McKinnon, one of
the well known christian ladies
of tha Hackberry and Oakland
sections, died Sunday morning
at 1:30 at Kerrville.
Deceased had been ill some
three or four months, three
months ago she went to Kerr-
ville for her health and hopes
were held for her complete re-
covery but these hopes were
soon lost. Deceased was a good
kind lady an excellent mother
and neighbor and that section is
poorer since she has ^passed to
her reward, she will be missed in
the activities of this section.
Mrs. McKinnon was born and
reared near Hackberry, she at-
tained the age of 52 years.
The remains were shipped
here arriving Sunday night, they
were laid to rest in the Andrews
Chapel cemetery, the family
burial ground Monday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, Rev. Kattner of
this city officiating.
Deceased is survived by seven
children namely: Misses Mar9
tha and Thelma and Murdock
McKinnon of near this city,
Mrs. Herman Gandy of Thzee
Rivers, L. K., Dick, and Alfred
McKinnon of Kerrville. Eight
brothers and sisters, W. K. Mor-
row and Mrs. 6. D. Cummings
of Houston, L. A. Morrow of
Laredo, B. M. and F. S. Morrow,
Miss Evelyn Morrow of this
section, Mrs. P. W. Koltermann
of Weimar, and Mrs. R. G.
Herndon ^of Rio Frio. All of
these were present for the
luneral with the exception ot
Mrs. J^erndon. To the survivors
the Sticker tenders its sincere
sympathy and condolence.
Lavaca Highway Building
The Lavaca County highway,
adjoining the Fayette county
iine, is the scene of much activi*
ty. The big new concrete bridges
and culverts are going up. The
grading and shaping up is going
*>n. This should shorten the dis-
tance between these two towns
at least a mile or two. Lacava
•county has had the reputation of
having the worst road, in the
SS&ate, this will ere long be un-
true,|at least in-so-far as the road
crossing the county from Yoak*
um to Schulenburg is concerned.
Big Celebration
Alfred Wolters says Schulen-
burg is not to be out done by the
other cities and hamlets in this
vicinity. He is going to have a
big celebration and dance here
Wednesday, July 23rd. A big
famous band will be here to give
the people some real classy
music. Refreshments of every
kind will be on hand. Some fine
speakers will be here. It will
be another chance to get further
acquainted with the candidates
for office as they will be here to
shake hands and explain about
their qualicafitions. Farther
particulars later. Big free bar-
becue dinner, all free. Come
bring the familyjand friends, big
day, all day, free. Arrange the
date on your calendar to be sure
and be in Schulenburg Wednes-
day, the 23rd. Watch for the ad-
vertisements and circulars.
Ewald Blaschke Doing Fine
We are indeed glad to report
tbat Ewald Blaschke iwho was
badly burned in the automobile
wreck in which his three cousins
lost their lives is rapidly getting
well. The burns on his hands
and arms will practically be heal-
ed by the end of this week.
Other burns are healing nicely,
the burn on his leg and foot will
take some time as this was a
deep burn. He has passed the
danger line and will be alright
unless some unforeseen develop-
ment takes place and this is not
likely to happen.
Later: Wednesday night he
was carried to the St, Rosa hos-
pital at San Antonio where he
could receive every attention that
a hospital affords. He is getting
along alright but at times be has
nervous attacks when visions of
the wreck seem to appear before
him and he is again rehearsing
his struggles of trying to save
the other boys.
Moving Business Places
Emil Moser is moving his
V i-dssing shop and Herman Dan
a >ti is moving his shoe repair
shop into the old Kessler Merc.
Oj., warehouse. They will be
glad to .have their old friends
call on them in their new loca-
tion.
The building vacated by them
his been rented by Frank Stan-
di, we understand he plans to
oL)en a first class meat market
in this place.
For County Attorney
R. V. Solomon has authorized
us to announce that he will be a
cmdidate for County Attorney
subject to the Democratic pri
mary July 26th. He will.have an
article in next weeks paper tell-
iiu£ why he should be elected.
Pat Gredington Recaptured
Sheriff Girndt was in the office
Saturday and informed us that
Pat Gredjngton, the negro who
broke into a number of places in
Schulenburg getting about $500
and was tried and sentenced to
18 years in the pen and then
broke out of jail with three other
prisoners, was recaptured this
past week in Victoria.
Since his escape he has broken
into two other places at Liberty.
The Sheriff stated he had him
in a cell with a lock at the top
and bottom of the doors. The
people of this section and of the
entire state can be glad he is
back in jail and will ere long be
in the penitentiary.

A wedding of interest to a
large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances through tout this en-
tire section, was that solemnized
at the Methodist parsonage in
Weimar when Rev. Wilson united
Miss Ellen Williams and Lester
Bock in the holy bonds of matri-
mony.
Miss Ellen is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Williams of
this city, she is a very pretty
young lady, the possessor of
many charms and an exceptional-
ly sweet disposition.
Lester Bock was born and
reared at Oakland, well known
here through his connections
with the Schulenburg base ball
clubs for several years. He is
now bookkeeper fur the Schu-
macher Grocery Co. at Smith-
ville.
After the wedding the happy
couple left for Houston and Gal-
veston to spend their honey-
moon. After which they will
make their home in Smithville.
The Sticker joins their thous-
ands of friends in extending con-
gratulations and wishing them a
life of good health, happiness
and prosperity.

Tank Farm Busy.
Much activity is visible now
out at the Magnolia Petroleum
companies tank farm here. A
gang of 31 men are busy digging
foundations for the big engines
and manifold station where the
big valves or shut off gates will
be located.
The manifold station will have
a foundation l6 feet deep filled
with concrete. The engine house
concrete will be five feet deep
The house wili have beside
pumps, two engines of 100 horse
power each and one engine of
200 horse power. These engines
will be able to handle about 25,-
000 barrels of oil daily. A 100
barrel fuel oil tank will be built
to hold the oil the engines use
for fuel, a 500 barrel water tank
will also be built for this pur-
pose. In addition to the above
a reservoir 60x80 feet and six
feet deep with a 12 inch concrete
bottom and side wall will be
built for water circulation for
the engines.
A car with part of the engines
and pumps is now on the tracks
here, the balance will arrive very
soon. The company expects to
have this pipe line in operation
by August first. The big stor-
age tanks that hold 110,000 bar-
rels of oil will be filled within
the next few days to make more
storage room at Luling.
The telegraph gang is on its
last lap running from here to
Luling, the line is completed
from Beaumont to here. The
force generally used on main
line station is from 10 to 12 men,
it is expected that this many will
be permanently located here.
Most of them will be married
men, this will mean more money
for our stores, and everyone as
it passes around.
Some houses will be built just
as soon as workmen can get to
them to furnish quarters for
some of the families to live out
there. Some will of course pre®
fer to live here in the city, and
walk or drive to their place of
labors.
Joe Wmkler Building
Joe Winkler, the popular gin-
ner of High Hill, has Contractor
Frank Bohlmann out there build-
ing him a big fine house. The
house will be something similar
to the Hollub house on the La
Grange road. Joe's new home
will contain eight rooms and a
basement. Everything in the
latest style.9
Joe is one of the finest men in
this section, he has had his gin
overhauled and put in tip top
shape for the coming season.
We know that his friends
will rejoice with Joe when this
big new place is completed.
The house he is now living in
will be moved away to another
location and a rent house made
out of it.
Our congratulations, Joe, and
may your shadow never grow
less.

Moonlight Picnic
Did anyone in Praha try to
sleep Tuesday night? If they
did it was all in vain for there
was a crowd of Schulenburg
young folks out there seeking
enjoyment Did they find it? I'll
say we did.
The crowd left Schulenburg
about 7:30 Tuesday evening for
Praha. After every one had ar-
rived all eyes were turned to-
ward the lake. Some decided to
go in while others sat on the
banks for the purpose of watch-
ing the swimmers. About 9:30
lunch was served which consist-
ed of watermelons, sandwiches
and soda water. The boys had
planned everything so this was
a surprise for the girls.
After much enjoyment every-
one decided it was time to go
home so we started in that direc-
tion.
I am sure that this bunch has
never had a more delightful time
and we have to "hand it" to the
boys for planning it.

John W. Davis Nominated
On the 103rd ballott taken by
the Democratic convention in
New York Wednesday John W.
Davis of West Virginia was nom-
inated the Democratic candidate
for President. This was accom-
plished only by getting McAdoo
and Smith together in one room
and having a chat in the interest
of party harmony. If these two
can get together for harmony's
sake, then the rank and file
should be able to do likewise.
Chas. W. Bryan, Governor of
Nebraska, a brother of the great
Commoner William Jennings
Bryan, was. nominated Vice-
President. Now this great cam*
paign will be underway. We
urge again that our readers read
page two of this issue containing
the full platform with all the
planks of this great party.
Chas. Jsaac was a caller at
the Sticker office Wednesday
morning in the interest of an oil
well he and associates are drill-
ing near Yoakum. Chas. is of-
fering some choice leases for
sale near this well at from $5.00
an acre up. If these men are
successful in bringing in a well
these leases should be worth a
fortune. Of course everything
connected with oil industry is a
gamble, lose or win. Anyone
having a few dollars of surplus
money that they can afford to
lose might make a fortune with
it in investing in this proposition.
It's up to you to use your own
judgment however.
