Lake Robertson To
Work On Big Bridge
Lake Robertson, the popular
and efficient concrete bridge
builder of Texas, has bean given
the contract to build the big ap-
proaches and main floor of the
big bridge that is to span the
Colorado river at LaGrange.
This bridge when completed will
cost more than $250,000, it is a
big proposition. The fact that
the big corporation that bid in
the contract has made arrange-
ments with Lake Robertson of
this city for this work, shows
what the big bridge builders of
America think of Lake's ability.
Mr. and Mrs. Lake Robertson
and son are now moving to La-
Grange to be there until his work
on this project is completed- We
regret to lose this good family
from our midst even though it.
may only be for six months or a
year.
Big Lot Imports Arrive
Herzik & Vasut, Importers,
received a large shipment of
goods from Europe this week.
Among the items received were
52 cases of camel hair slippers,
these 52 cases contained 6000
pairs of slippers. Other cases
incinded a big shipment of
French harps and many kinds of
novelties, the duty paid the Gov-
eanment alone amounted to
$1244.80 quite an item itself.
This popular importing firm is
expanding daily, their business
now covers the entire U. S. A.
They have a big mail order busi

Cotton Stolen
Joe Krischke informs us that
one day the past week someone
stole two sacks full of cotton
weighing about 200 pounds, two
empty sacks and some knee pads
from his field. Joe was lucky
•enough to find out who got his
cotton and went after, it. He got
everything back but has as yet
not filed any complaint against
the gnilty parties, be did not say
wliothe guilty party was.
Chas. Ballard has been on the
sick list about 10 days, he is feel-
iag much better but is still con
lined to his home. We hope to
hear him hurrahing around town
ere long.
Mexican Rilled
Sunday afternoon a Mexican
was driving a Ford truck be*
tween Glidden and Columbus, he
tnet a car and turned out of the
road to let it pass in doing so he
struck the sand on the edge
which threw him into the ditch
and turned the truck over od
him. He was killed instantly, a
big hole was cut in his neck and
the back of his head.
This is one auto accident that
the driver did not have a lucky
escape, but paid the supreme
penalty.
Negroes Arrested
City Marshall O. B. Schwenke
arrested seven local negroes on
a charge of vagrancy. He stated
that they were laying around
and not working and were there-
fore a nuisance, this is correct.
Everyone should work, especially
this time of the year when labor
is so in demand and farmers are
paying such high prices as they
are for cotton pickers.
They were fined $11.05 each
which adds a little to the city's
funds.
Postal Examination
An examination will be held
at the Schulenburg Post Officfc
Saturday, Sept. 20th., for the
position of Clerk in the local post
office. All persons wishing tc
take this examination can obtain
blanks at the post office. Anj
information desired will be glad;
ly furnished by the postmaster
Cotton Markets
Local cotton reached the 2000
bale mark here Thursday morn-
ing. Indications are that the
crop locally . will be short
about 2000 bales from last year,
figuring this at $150 per bale and
one will realize how much less
money there will be in circula
tion this year. The market is
unchanged. Local prices are
24 cents. Seed is bringing $29.50
Der ton.
Eggs are bringing 23 cents a
dozen.
Miss Lois Carr has accepted a
position to teach school this year
at the Shiloh school in Lavaca
