young lady and is exceedingly
popular in the community where
she grew up to sweet maiden-
hood. She is the oldest daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Canik,
Sr., of the Pisek community.
After the marriage vows were
spoken, the newly weds and all
invited guests repaired to the
residence of the brides parents,
where a sumptuous repast was
given in honor of the young cou
pie. The day was spent in
feasting and in all -kinds of
amusements. All enjoyed them-
selves hugely and to their heart’s
content.
The young couple will be domi-
ciled on a farm near Fayetteville
where they will engage in farm-
ing.
They have numerous relatives
andfriends throughout this sec-
tion who join the many friends
in wishing for them a happy,
prosperous and contended mar-
ried life.
Dr. A. J„ Loeppertof Chicago
delivered an interesting lecture
in the Methodist Church at In-
dustry last Thursday evening in
the interest of the Epworth
League. He was introduced by
Rev. Schmalz in appropriate
words.
Dr. Loeppert is one of the
prominent men of the Methodist
Church and is Epworth League
secretary for German speaking
conferences, and a very interest-
ing and convincing speaker. The
audience was not as large as was
expected but all those that were
present enjoyed the entertaining
and instructive lecture.
Dr. Loeppert was accompanied
from Bienham by Rev. A. A.
Leifeste, District Superintend-
ent of Brenham District, also by
Prof. A. Niebuhr and Miss An-
gela Niebuhr, both members of
the faculty of Blinn Memorial
College.

Mrs. Marek, aged 92, widow
of the late Vincent Marek, passed
away at the home of her son,
John Marek, atSchoenau, Satur-
day of last week. Since the
death of her husband Mrs. Ma-
rek spent her declining years
with her son and family and in
spite of her advanced age busied
herself about the house and was
quite active until death overtook
her.
Her mortal remains were con-
signed to the grave Monday noon
at Industry in the presence of a
large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends. Rev. Holic
of Caldwell assisted by Rev.
Barta of Granger conducted the
funeral services.
The Marek family came to the
West End section from Austria
a half century ago and was noted
for thrift, perseverance and
good citizenship. Six sons and
one daughter survive, who 'are:
V. F. Marek of Industry, John
and Willie Marek of Schoerau,
Frank Marek of near Houston,
Joe Marek of Crossby, Charles
Marek also of near Houston and
Mrs. Frances Heisler of Cald-
well, who were all present at the
funeral. One son, Ladislav Ma-
rek, of New Ulm Prairie died 8
years ago.
Deceased was a good woman,
kind and of a genial disposition
and highly beloved and honored
by her relatives and friends.
The Enterprise joins the many
friends of the Marek family in
expressing its sympathy and
condolence to the bereaved fami-
ly. May her eternal sleep be
sweet!

Christian Schroeder, who was
appointed janitor for the county
court house in May, 1907, and
has held that position creditably
for a period of fifteen years,
tendered his resignation to the
commissioners’ court last week,
which was accepted by the
court. Mr. Schroeder stated as
bis reasons for giving up the
work that he was too far advanc-
ed in years, and consequently
unable to give the services due.
He is eighty-three years of age,
and up to the time of his resig-
nation, has taken excellent care
of the county property here in
Bellville. He not only kept the
courthouse clean and in good or-
der, but gave due attention to
the upkeep of the court house
lawn. He is one of the few men
living who can handle the scythe
with expertness. He is now
sick at his home, as is also his
wife. His many acquaintances
throughout the county will wish
for both a speedy recovery.—
Bellville Times.
While adjusting a hanger
line shaft at the Horton and Hor-
ton gravel plant Saturday night,
■Lloyd Kelly’s sweater was
caught by the revolving shaft
and he was carried around the
shaft several times and all his
clothing torn off. He received
some very painful injuries but
none of them were serious. With
the exception of one shoe he was
stripped of clothing before the
shaft dropped him. He was also
wearing a pair of glasses which
weje not broken. A ^ood watch
was completely ruined.
When the machinery caught
him he did not cry out and none
of the other employees around
the plant knew anything of the
accident until he came down and
told them He was brought to
town and his wounds dressed
and then taken home.
Lloyd’s escape was miraculous
in more than one way. In the
first place he was fortunate that
he was not killed when he was
whirled around by the shaft. In
the second place, the shaft is
about forty feet in the air with
only a two foot walk under it,
and when he was dropped after
his clothing had been stripped
from -him be fell across this
walk,
He is improving rapidly and
the doctor thinks he will be able
to return to work in a short
while.—Columbus Citizen,

reau of Census for Austin Coun-
ty, reports that there were 19,-
209 bales of cotton (counting
round as half, bales) ginned in
Austin County from the crop of
1922 prior to Nov. 1, 1922, as

Sunday just after day faded
internight a wet norther blew up
which seemed to have increased
with intensity the first few days
of the week. People were busy
filling their wood sheds and coal
scuttles, dusting the moths from
the overcoats, haying down the
cattle and in general preparing
for a severe wet and cold spell
combined, which is always very
disagreeable both to people and
their stock.

Arthur Kretzschmar, son of Mr.

railroad at Taylor, will take
charge of the car upon its ar-
rival at its destination. We ex-
tend best wishes to them and
hope they will soon feel at home
in their new location.
J. J. Frnka is having a force of
carpenters at work erecting a
neat bungalow cottage which up-
on its completion will be occu-
pied by our popular railroad
agent, F. W. Scharnberg. Mr.
Frnka is having another build-
ing under construction on the
vacant lot just opposite the En-
terprise office. The'—ITuiTdTng"
has a solid foundation and is of
considerable dimensions but as
yet no one knows for what pur-
pose the building will be used
when completed.
Prohibition enforcement effi-
ceis, said Io have been armed
with eighteen search warrants,
swooped upon a number of towns
in the West End section on Ar-
mistice Day and searched several
building®:, where, according to
information given us, they had
been informed liquor was fre-
quently stored. The pro officers
were accompanied by Sheriff*
Parker of Brenham. One arrest
was made at Welcome. The re-
port that two arrests were mads
near New Ulm has not yet beerk
substantiated.

Wednesday of this week
Messrs. Emil Galle and Ernst
Luedecke loaded their household
effects, including work'animals,
on ca^preparatory to their re-
moval to Goliad County where
they will reside in the future.
Bo*h families have many friends
and relatives in the New Him
section who regret to see them
move away. The Galle family
gained many admirers in social
circles on account of their peer-
less musical talents. The En-
terprise hopes both families may
satisfy their ambition. Our loss
will be Goliad County’s gain,

Surgeons and medica’ anti ori-
ties in Temple are discussing a
case which is unique in the an-
nals of remarkable medical and
surgical freaks. In the Santa
Fe hospital in this city J. A.
Whitehurs, roundhouse foreman
for the Santa Fe at San Augus-
tine, is being\reated for sh< ck
and the loss of a foot, which was
amputated just above his ankle
byaboltof lightning, during a
thunder storm which came up
suddenly while he was in the
roundhouse office at night.
The foot was cut off as cleanly
as if done by an expert surgeon
and the victim did not know of
his injury until he tried to rise
from the floor to which he had
been hurled by the violence of
the shock.
According to the story told by
Whitehurst, he had been engag-
ed in conversation with a visitor
when there came a blinding flash
followed immediately by a crash
which seemed to shiver the
ground about them. When he
tried to rise and walk he found
his foot missing and his leg
bleeding profusely. Tying his
shirt tightly about the stump he
dragged himself to the tele-
phone, which fortunately had
not been out of commission, and
notified division headquarters.
A special train was btfrried to
San Augustine and he was
brought to Temple where his
story created the greatest amaze-
ment among doctors and
geons.
He is recovering from
shock and wound; and will
an artificial foot ready for use
by the time he can leave the hos-
pital.—Temple Mirror in La
Grange Journal.

W. F. Dierke and Otto Luedke
of New’ Bremen boarded the
north bound Katy Tuesday
morning enroute to Stonewall
County on matters of important
business.
Any shortage in the news col-
umns of this issue of the Enter-
prise may be attributed to the
editor’s indisposition; he having
been confined to his bed the
early part of this week.
The Catholic church congrega-
tion of Frelsburg received fix-
tures for a new altar. The ma-
terial was purchased at a price
of $1200 and made up half a car -
load. When put in its proper
place the altar will add materia’-
ly in the ornament of the interi-
or of that church.
Industry’s business men re-
sponded in the eleventh hour to
the appeal of the people of the
West End for the observance of
Armistice Day on Saturday,
Nov. 11, and closed their stores
at noon. The Co-operative store,
however, did not open at all on
Armistice Day, which shows
good judgment upon the part of
its manager, Jesse Buenger.
We were reliably informed
this morning that the local road
tax in commissioner’s precinct
No. 2, was not defeated in last
week’s election, but was also
carried by a small majority. The
general opinion in said precinct
was at the time of the election
that it would take a two-thirds
majority to carry the tax, but
since it takes only a majority of
all vote- cast, it developed that
this tax was not defeated.
