No. 19
Will Change From
Common to Indepen-
dent School Here
A petition carrying 82 local
* signatures, including prominent
officials, business men and
farmers, has been passed the
past week, praying the County
Judge to order a special election
of School District No. 28, changr
ing this from a common to an
Independent School District.
This change which will be
made if the election carries, and
there is seemingly no reason to
advance why it will not carry,
will place the supervision an<f
jurisdiction of the public free
schools here, solely under the
direction of local people, or those
who live within the district,
"while heretofore, The County
Superintendent, has had more
or less control of our schools,
and the funds for their mainten-
ance has rested in La Grange
banks and hands.
It is to remedy this condition
that the election is being peti-
tioned for, and it is to be hoped
.t/:-;
wmM
that it will carry by a big major
ity.
The territory embraced covers
21 Vi square miles—two schools
only are effected, tfhe local city
school and the Colored school
It has no bearing or effect what
soever on Catholic or private
schools within the territory.
Under the/status of Common
schools, as now, a board of three
directors is authorized. When
changed to an Independent
District, the board will be made
up of seven members.
The date of the election will be
announced in a later issue.

Dr. Clark Loses Father
Dr. D. H. Clark received the
sad news of the death of his
father at Covington, Tennessee,
Tuesday of last week, the news
having been conveyed here by
wire.
He was unable to attend the
funeral owing to the fact that
the senior partner of the firm
was away at the time the mes-
sage was received, and patients
could not be left.
The Covington News, in writ-
ing of the death says:
Mr. James S. Clark died at his
home on North Maple street
Tuesday, January 18, at 1:30 p.
m., after an illness of two
months. The funeral services
were conducted at the family
residence Wednesday at 1 o'clock
by Rev. S. R. Hart, assisted by
Rev. L. D. Hamilton, after which
the remains were carried to
Leigh's Chapel and interment
took place in the cemetery there.
Mr. Clark was born October
22,1837, therefore was 83 years
of age at the time of his death.
He was a son of, the late Isaac
Clark, who was a pioneer settler
of Tipton county.
Mr. Clark married Miss Nan-
nie Smith and to this union were
born six children, four of whom
survive. His wife died, leaving
him with the [responsibility of
caring for these small children,
which he did with all the tender-
ness aad affection that a mother
could have bestowed.
As stated above, four children
survive—two daughters, Miss
Kizell Clark, and Mrs. Charles
Hudson, of this city, and two
sons, Dr. Hunter Clark and Mr.
Clarence Clark, of Texas.

Petition For Postmaster
A petition is being passed, and
more or less generously signed
this week, in support o£ Henry
Eilers, Jr., for re-appointment
to the office of postmaster at the
local office.
It does not seem probable
that any opposition will develop,
locally at least, as he h-as made
a conscientious and obliging
official.
-In fact, his reappointment
will meet wilh ta very general
approval hereabouts.
With no Republican, of prom-
inence in line, for the place, we
can see no reason why Mr. Eilers
should not be retained.
Schulenburg people are after
all the ones to be satisfied—and
they are.

Commissioners' Court in session

tensive program has been out-
lined. The three tractors cost

of the same make so as to facili-,
tate repairs and the ordering of
parts in the future.

Entire Community
Pays Tribute To
Memory Of Soldier
With fitting ceremonies, first
at the Armory by tlie American
Legion, and then at St. Rosa's
Catholic Church, and at the
grave, the funeral services for
Josepti-Rabel, wHo gave his life
while in the service of his
country overseas, were con-
ducted in this city last Sunday
afternoon.
And in glowing tribute to his
memory, from far and near,
came friends by the score to
show their appreciation of the
Great Sacrifice, which he had
made in the cause of country.
Alany a tear dimmed many an
eye, as the flag draped casket
came into view, and the thoughts
of those assembled were turned
back for a moment, to that time
but a few brief years ago, when
he answered the call of country,
for which he afterwards gave
his life.
Brief services were conducted
in frontpf the Armory by the
local American Legion Post.
From there the procession
moved to St. Rosa's Church,
headed by a band, playing the
sad funeral dirge, and the casket
accompanied by members of the
American Legion, by members
of the National Guard, a cor*
tierre of .young ladies in white
carrying flowers, with a long
line of cars and carriages follow-
ing.
Rev. FatherLed wig of Flatonia
State Chaplain of the American
Legion, returned hurriedly from
Washington and lightened the
grief of bereaved relatives, in
the glowing tribute which a most
wonderful sermon could pay to
his memory and his Great
Sacrifice.
And follovying, as the flag
draped casket was lowered to
its final resting place, the solemn
military salute reverbated from
the booming guns.
May this departed soldier,
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton
Rabel, rest forever in peace, and
may the Great Reward come in
full to him. He is no longer
with us, but his Memory will
linger in our hearts and may
our thoughts be of his sacrifice
for us and for ours, forever.
Senator Clark
Introduces 1 st
Bill Made Law
='Yf
M
The first bill introduced in the
Senate at this session to become
a law, was introduced by Sena-
tor I. E. Clark, providing for
placing the words "State of
Texas" in prominent letter on
State owned cars, in an effort to
stop the use of these cars for
private purposes. Senator Clark
estimates that a'saving of $200,-
000 per year will be saved th^
taxpayers in the enforcement of
this bill ,in wear and tear on
state owned cars, and their
supply upkeep.
The Minimum wage law for
women which was scheduled to
go into effect onFeby. 7tb, will
not become operative at that
time, the legislature having de-
creed to postpone its enforce-
ment, pending probable amend-
ments to it.
The Senate has pledged its
support to the Attorney Gen-
eral and financial aid in the de-
fense of the State Railroad Com-
mission, who have refused to re-
cede from their position that
onfly a 3c per mile fare is allow-
able to be charged by railways
for purely intra-state traffic,
which save* to the people of the
state millions of dollars per
year.
