Leo Strauss, Sec’yMgr.
The State Highway Comis-
sion, Tuesday, let contract for
grading and drainage struct-
ures and surfacing from Schu-
lenburg to Lavaca county line
to Raymond Canyon of Aus-
tin, for $36,620.00. This means
that quite soon Hallettsville
and Schulenburg will be con-
nected with a first class high-
way and in auto one can make
trip in a few minutes. Old ti-
mers remember when a stage
line connected these two pla-
ces, W. B. Hawkins operating
same.
In the Freie Presse fuer Te-
xas, Richard Waltersdorf says
“Hallettsville and surrounding
territory needs in 1928 a good
harvest; that an active cham-
ber of commerce would mean
much for Hallettsville which
should have a paved courf
house square and a first class
creamery for benefit of the
farmers.” To all of which the
Herald says Amen.
Probably the most noted con
vert that has ever been receiv-
ed in the Catholic Church in
Waco embraced the faith at
his baptism on Saturday after-
noon of last week, in the per-
son of General Felix Robert-
son. General Robertson, who
received his first Holy Com-
munion last Sunday morning,
now in his ninetieth year, is
the only surviving brigarder-
general of the Southern Confe-
deracy. Incidently, he is the
only native Texan who ever
attained that distinction. He
was bom in Old Washington,
a little less than three years
after the battle of San Jacinto,
when that town was the capi-
tol of the Republic of Texas.
General Robertson resigned as
a cadet in West Point when
war between the states was
declared, to shoulder arms in
defense of his beloved South-
lamd, and took part in some of
the most noted conflicts of the
Civil War, winning distinction
in every engagement in which
he participated. For six years
General Robertson was com-
mander of the Texas Division,
United Confederate Veterans
and he represented Texas, by
appointment from Governor
O. B. Colquitt, when the fif-
eieth anniversary of the battle
of Gettysbufg was commemo-
rated, in 1913. Since 1869 Ge-
neral Robertson has been a re-
sident of McLennan County,
and since 1876 he has been a
member of the Waco bar, be-
ing probably the oldest legal
practitioner in the County,
though he gave up the active
some years ago, on account of
the infirmities of age.
this was too indefinite. This being held under this require
statute was enacted by last le- j ment for further ^systematic

before passage, by the expert The people responded very
ex assistant attorney general j generously to our request and
whom the senate employed at practically all of the cattle in
$20.00 per day to pass on all
measures coming before that
body. Employment of this ad-
viser was a big mistake and
a flagrant waste of the peo-
ple’s money, as the attorney
general’s department is paid
to advise legislature or mea-
sure coming ^before that body.

BIRTHDAY PARTY
A number, of friends surpri-
sed Mrs. L. Bennett last Mon-
day night it being her birth-
day. “42” and outdoor games
were enjoyed after which re-
freshments of soda water, ca-
ke and sandwiches were serv-
ed to the following: Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Barber and sons,
Mr^and Mrs. Leonard Bonor-
den; Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ham-
ilton, Mr. and Mrs. John
Overgoner, Mrs. Spears, Miss-
es Mary Spears, Ruby Thomp-
son, Hilda Sommerlatte, An-
nie Strauss. Nona Vee Harral.
Messrs Bill Morley, Alfred
Zappe, Oscar Shaw, Avery
the county have been brought
to the vats for inspection and
dipping during the past month
And since only 3 head out of
the 65,000 were found to be
ticky we are in a position to
state that Lavaca County is in
excellent shape and will soon
be ready to be certified for
release from quarantine.'
We have now completed
our twelfth month of tick era-
dication work in Lavaca Coun-
ty and we are exceedingly
well pleased with what had
been accomplished in that
time. Where a year ago we
were finding hundreds of
herds of grossly infested cattle
we found only 3 ticks so far
this spring. This should serve
well as an answer tp thofe
who still contend that fever
ticks cannot be eradicated
from this country.
All stockowners are respect-
fully urged to continue dip-
ping their cattle at 28 day in-
tervals until June 1st to make
sure that their pastures are
free of fever tick infestation
before they will be definitly
excused from any further dip-
ping requirement. We wish to
remind the people that it is
still illegal, and will continue
to be-illegal until this county
is officialy released from qu-
arantine to move any cattle
without a permit from an ins-
pector. ^
Very Respectfully,
R. F. KRENEK,
Supervising Inspector.
