anyone would refer to with pride.

Roads Very Bad
The rains of last week put the
roads in worse condition in this
section than they have been in
many years.
The mail carriers out of this
post office were forced to abans
don their automobiles and resort
back to the old horse and buggy,
and then some bad to cut out
part of their routes,being unable
to make it even, with a hoise and
buggyjOne of the carriers start-
ed cut in a buggy and had to
leave same on the road, finishing
his route on horseback, the deep
ruts make it impossible to navi-
gate, the black mud completely
locking the wheels.
The roads between here and
Swiss Alp had some fifteen or
twenty automobiles tied up all
day Tuesday, Tuesday night and
Wednesday before they were
able to set out. The roads lead-
ing toward Hallettsville were
also impassible, cars being stuck
for several days. <
It will be a great thing when
we get the stretch from Swiss
Alps leading this way anchon to
the Lavaca county line graveled,
every effort should be put forth
by all concerned until this road
is graveled and put in shape so
the public and those living altJng
same will be able to travel in
wet weather.
Shop Early
Do you people realize that it is
only [eight more days until
Christmas. Don't put off to the
last day to do your Christmas
shopping. Do it now, while the
selection of gifts are complete
and avoid ttle rush. Get your
packages all mailed early, wait-
ing until the last day may cause
same to arrive late and bring
disappointment to your friends
and loved ones, for the mails
are going to be over loaded on
the last few days and the wise
one will get his packages in the
mail early. Shop now.

A letter received from the
Dittlinger £Flour Mills at New
Braunfels by this paper contain-
ed> paragraph as follows, "The
writer Jbas kept track of your
Short Horns this'season and they
surely are to be congratulated on
the wonderful showing that they
have made. Outside of the bene-
fits they got from the physical
training, am sure that a school
spirit was cieated that you never
had before. We have been slow
in getting athletics started in our
school but are getting along well
now in Basketball and Baseball
and next year we hope to start
Football". Signed Dittlinger

This is only one of a great
many comments we have receiv5
ed from out side people who
kept up with our team through
this paper. Tnis town has re-
ceived lots of gcod publicity in
channels it little dreamed of.
Each week the out side world
judges this town, "its progress,
it's progressive business houses,
whether the town is wioe awake
or dead. The manufactuing in-
terests, wholesalers and others
read this paper, it keeps them
posted. The Editor has called
on not less than 15 or 20 news-
papers within the pa^fcfew weeks
we have not found a single one
with the circulation the Sticker
has and we are growing con-
stantly. We cover this territory
like the dew, if you want everyone
to know about your business or
what you have to sell, put it in
the Sticker.
The Editor returned Tuesday
from a tour of the Wir.tergarten
section, it certainly is an inspi-
ration to tour this lpnd of sun-
shine now, see the Orange and
Grape Fruit trees with their
golden fruit. See thousands of
acres of the finest vegetables,
being harvested in the fields,
every thing as pretty and green
as in the spring of the year.
Hundreds of laborers in the
fields, some are plantiag, others
gathering tomatoes, spinach,
beets peas and every kind of
vegetable. Some of the towns are
shipping f com 20to 25 carloads of
veget-ables every day. That sec
tion wiil surpass the Rio Grande
Valley, is the prediction of every
'one. Raw lands can still be bad
very cheap, if one goes down
there and buys it. The Real Es-
tate people are cleaning up by
bringing people from the cold
northern states and selling land
at high prices. Everything there
is irrigated, each farmer has
his own well and water works
to water his own farm. The
aver^^fPkrm is around 20 acres.
Thi^Ts about" ail any one can
work.

First Real Ice Here
fl
«
The first cold snap of the sea-
son is now gripping this section.
"Old Crimp" was slow in get"
ting here this year, but he came
with a crash and a bang to make
up for lost time. The tempera-
ture dropped and dropped until
ice started forming. Tuesday
evening by night it registered
28 degees. During the night
it fell still lower Wednesday
morning it was showing 26.
Long icecicles were hanging
from the water tanks. Every
one on the streets were walking
about in the middle of their
trunks or in all the clothes they
had, could borrow or steal.
Some were so wrapped up they
looked like a rubber toy balloon
blown up to the bursting point.
This .weather is excellent, it
should put an end to the pest
who continually sticks us all for
every drink (the mosquito), it
should likewise kill most of the
insects in the soil and a great
man^ of the germs. We should
all feel better after this gets our
blood hardened ,.or thickened a
little. It makes it appear more
like Christmas season.
Mrs. O. Sindelar Dies

dead on the floor of her home
near Fayetteville, Friday, Dec.,
10th. Death was due to a hem-
orrhage.
>' Deceased resided in Schulen-
burg about a year, making her
home here with her only child,
Dr. John Zvesper of this city.

Europe, March, 25th. 85 years
ago. Her first husband, Mr.
Zvesper, died 50 years ago, she
married a second time to Mr. O.

ton middling, 11c; Cotton seed,
$17 per ton, hulls Jare being of-
fered by the Oil Mill here at $5
per ton.
The highest prices of produce
this season have been of material
benefit to this section, every pro-
ducer of eggs, pecanB, etc., have
reaped a nice profit. This sec
tion should produce more eggs,
from a better strain of chickens,
keeping them infertile during
the proper season and much
more-money could be had with
out any extra cost.
Miss Emma Mrazek, who re-
cently underwent an operation

Wrecks Car
Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Seymour
of Columbus, accompaniod by
Mrs. Ballou and children had
the misfortune of wrecking the
big NashjSedan of Mrf Seymour's
last Thursday night about eight
o ' clock while passing through
our City.
Due to the rain and fog Mr.
Seymous failed to see the big
post in the middle of the street
in front of the HoUub Filling
Station, crashing into it head8
long, doing considerable dams
age to [the car, throwing Mrs.
Seymour into the windshield,
cutting her about the neck and
shoulders in several places while
Mrs. Ballou was thrown
against the car with such force
as to receive a broken nose and
receiving several other bruises,
the other occupants of the car
escaped injury. It was very
fortunate that Mi. Seymour was
driving slow, otherwise the acci-
dent in all probability would
have resulted disastrously. The
injured were given medical ats
tention here and then conveyed
to their home in columbus that
night.
The big Nash was pulled in to
the Vogt Garage where the fol-
lowing day F. M. Tolbert of the
Nash Agency of Columbus came
after same.
