Supt. and Mrs. T. H. Leslie
were called to Hallettsville Mon-
day on the sad mission of attend-
ing the funeral of Mrs. Leslie’s
nephew, Henry Clark Jr. His sis-
ter, Miss Lillie Clay Clark, has
been making her home with
Supt. and Mrs. Leslie for the
school term, the Gazette sympa-
thizes with her deeply also her
immediate family as well as the
entire household of Supt. and
Mrs. Leslie.
While enroute to San Antonio
last Saturday morning about
8:30, just before reaching Cuero,
Mr. H. G. Hollman and son
Julius had a narrow escape, from
what could have proven a fatal
accident. A bullet from a high
powered rifle penetrated the
side windshield of the car,
shattering the glass, causing
minor cuts on Julius’ face.
The bullet missed him just
about 2 inches. Mr. Hollmann
thought it was a rock but upon
investigation at Cuero the Sheriff
was positive it was a rifle shot.
They had not passed any cars,
neither had they seen anyone
and the supposition is that hunt-
ers were responsible for the
stray shot. It was necassary to
purchase a new wind shield. Both
experienced a fortunate but very
narrow escape.

Mother Has Fallen Asleep
Mother was tired and weary,
Weary with toil and with pain;
Put by her glasses and rocker,
She will not need them again.
Into Heaven’s mansions she’s
entered,
Never to sigh or to weep.
After long years with life’s
atruggles,
M other has fallen asleep.
Near other loved ones we laid
her,
Low in the church yard to lie,
And though our hearts are near
broken,
Yet we would not question
“Why?’7
She does not rest ’neath the
grasses,
Though o’er her dear grave
they creep,
She has gone into the Kingdom,
Mother has fallen asleep.
Rest the tired feet now forever,
Dear wrinkled hands are so
still,
Blast of the earth shall no longer
Throw over our loved one a
chill.
Angels through heaven will
guide her,
Jesus will still bless and keep;
Not for the world would we
wake her,
Mother has fallen asleep.
Beautiful rest for the weary,
Well deserved rest for the true,
When our life’s journey is ended
We shall again be with you.
This helps to quiet our weeping,
HarkI Angel music so sweet!
He giveth to His beloved,
Beautiful, beautiful sleep.

Klos-Schraer. _

ature. The most desirable temperature is between 66 and 68
degrees.
