Tribute to Texas Highway
System
In “Observations Along the
Way,” H.D. Meister writes to
the Yoakum Herald from Water-
ville, Ohio, a word of praise for
the Texas Highway system as
follows:
“We have had many occasions
to be proud of our adopted state
of Texas. One that has given us
particularly much pride is the
highway system. Out of the fif-
teen states in which we have
traveled so far none has a high-
way system comparable to that
of Texas. The roads are not as
good, they are not so convenient-
ly nor so distinctly marked nor
are the names of the towns as
you approached them nor the
towns ahead, given as they are in
Texas. We passed through scores
of cities, towns, and villages the
names of which we never learn-
ed because of this negligence on
the part of the Highway Depart-
ment. Just the other day we pas-
sed several Highway Patrolmen,
and, as is our custsm, we saluted
them. None of them ever res-
ponded nor paid us any mind.
The Mrs. remarked that if those
had been Texas Patrolmen they
would at least have recognized
your courtesy.
The state of New York comes
the nearest to having a highway
system like unto Texas but it
still lacks considerable.”

Post card greetings from Dis-
trict Clerk and Mrs. Gus Strauss
last weekend told of a wonder-
ful trip through thirteen states
and the District of Columbia,
“Wish all the folks at home could
see the many interesting sights,”
writes Mr. Strauss. “We are in
wonderful New York today,
Aug. 12th, leaving for Hartford
where our Convention opens with
a five day session, then home to
good old Lavaca county, Texas,
the best of all.”

THE MEYERHOFF DRY
GOODS CO., HALLETTS-
V1LLE, WANTS TO TALK
TO YOU ON MEN’S AND
BOYS’ SUITS
When you get ready for
that suit for yourself or
for your boys, Meyerhoffs
at Hailettsville want you
to give them a look. Mey-
erhoffs claim the largest
stock of boys’and men’s
clothing in this part of the
country. Meyerhffs can
show you more styles and
more patterns than any
concern between San An-
tonio and Houston and we
will go further than that,
more than many clothing
concerns in larger cities.
Now then, your boys are
not too small nor too large
for Meyerhoff to fit them.
In men’s suits Meyerhoff
carries suits as large as 54
and as small as 32. So you
can readily see Meyerhoffs
can fit you up. And here
comes the most important,
PRICES.Meyerhoff carries
men’s suits from $14.95 to
$29.95, every garment
guaranteed from 75% to
100% wool. Such a beau-
tiful line of patterns to se-
lect from. Meyerhoffs can
suit you in patterns and
in styles. Meyerhoffs car=
ry men’s suits in shorts,
slims, stouts. Young men’s
sports and plain back
suits. What Meyerhoffs
are so proud of is patterns
to select from, we have so
many to select from. If
you will only give Meyer-
hoffs store in Hailettsville
a look you will certainly
please us, as we go all the
way to New York to get
prices and styles for you
to select from. Meyerhoff
has one of the largest
stocks of clothing than
they have ever carried,
and you and every person
knows Meyerhoff at Hal-
lettsville always carried
the best line of boys’ and
men’s suits in this part of
the country. And now we
still have a much larger
and better line than ever
before. Now for a few
words about your boys
suits, we have made it a
special study of boys suits
and we have boys suits
same as young men’s in
all styles, such an array
of patterns and styles to
select from and just a lit-
tle cheaper than the other
and quality just a little
better. Don’t buy until
you have seen Meyerhoffs
at Hailettsville. They are
now ready to show you
their line from New York
where styles originate and
where the largest mer-
chants go to select from
and get the lowest prices
so you can get the benefit.
Meyerhoffs also ha v e
about 25 young men’s top
coats just received. If in-
terested see Meyerhoffs

overland accompanied by friends
and relatives. Rev. Cox, pastor
of the Methodist church at Bur-
net, conducted funeral services
in Burnet at the funeral home
and accompanied the remains to
Shiner where the services were
concluded.
Many were present to pay their
respects in Mr. Allen’s home

Have in Jesus” and “God be
With You Till We Meet Again”.

and numerous other relatives
and friends, including a brother
at Jacksonville. Mr, Allen was

Church building at Burnet, he
was seriously injured by falling
timbers Friday afternoon. He
was immediately rushed to the
