Death invaded the village of Red
Rock on Muy C, and took away one
of Bastrop Courrty's most prominent
and useful citizens, Joe Z. Black, at
the sge of «r>3 years. Mr. Black was
the victim of a sudden attack of
heart trouble. Up to the day before I
his death, he was seemingly in good
health, so that the sad news came i s
a complete surprise and shock to hia
relatives and friends.
The body was laid away to rest
it, the lied Rock cemetery at 4::i0
o'clock on May 7 in the presence of
a vast assembly of kindred and
neighbors. B. K. Holland of Austin
j spoke the words of comfort :„nd con-
solation on behalf of the bereaved,
while the many neighbors expressed
their sympathy through a floral of-
f ring of unusual beauty.
Mr. Black was the son of James
Black, a prominent resident of Red
Rock and a father <>f a large f .mily
of upright men and women. He
leaves behind him to mourn his
death this aged father, his good wife
an(j their three children, Gatie, Allie,
and Helen; four brothers; Itenry

One would expect a member of
such a family to be a devoted
Christian, honest, and upright in ;J1
his ways. Mr. Black was all this
and more. He was highly esteemed
and respected on account of his
wholesome influence in the com-
munity and his unsefulness as a citi-
zen. Those who knew him, feel that
Bastrop County has lost a valuable

Tons of shoe polish are sent from
England to Calcutta to meet the de-
mand of the natives, who take the
greatest pride in keeping their shoes
glistening to the highest degree.
From the str.'W vote taken among
them, two thousand co-eds of South-
ern California, it was found that
. 'cave men' ran far behind 'home
lovers' as preferred husbands.
Six members of the state mining
board were named by Gov. Dan

May 17, for the purpose of i'le'ctinjj
the seventh member of the board.

In some circles of English sexnety
