BleiblerviHe News.
Aug. 16.—After vainly looking
for some news from Bleibler-
vilie in the columns of the. En-
prise every time it arrive.-. I de-
cided to let the good readers of
the Enterprise know that Bleib-
lerville is still on the map.
We are and have been having
for the past several weeks some
real bad, rainy weather, which
has checked the farmers from
having a bunch of cotton bales
lying in their yards, but never-
the-less, Theo. W. Webring, our
ginner, has ginned several bales
of the 1920 crop, and if the pre-
sent rainy weather turns out to
clear in the next few days, the
crops in this vicinity will be
generally fair.
The dance that was conducted
in the S. P. J. S. T. Hall at
BleiblerviHe Saturday, Aug. 7th
turned out better than expected,
as a heavy^rain fell Saturday
morning and put the roads in a
bad condition, but in spite of all,
the dance was good, 51 tickets
were sold.
W^. C- Hohlt informed the
writer that he has lately dis-
covered what it is to own a real
automobile, as he has just pur-
chased a Light Four Overland
car and he is almost tickled to
death over it, as he has had a
great deal of trouble with his
former car. Several others
have purchased Overlands in
this neighborhood. M. C. Albert,
our local Overland dealer, has
done some good work in the line
of selling Overland cars and also
a number of the well known
“Tin Henries.”
Edwin Holt of Bellville, Rt. 3,
brought his daddy’s Maxwell to
M. C. Albert’s Garage last Mon-
day and had some of the unex-
celled repairing—that this gar-
age turns out—done on «ame.
As I am not acquainted with
the Enterprise’s waste basket, I
will conclude. Will write again
if this passes^the W.B.
“A. Z.”
We buy Cotton Seed at all
times. Bring us your seed. W.
F. Hotmann.
Brooms, a fine selection always
on hand at low prices from 50c
up at Frnka’s. •
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!
Notice is hereby given that I

or during cotton picking time.

volver from my home in New Ulm on

(Continued on the last page.)
Oscar Hartfiel reported to the
Enterprise that the household
effects of Rev. and Mrs. Gus.
Szillat arrived at its destination
promptly and without any short-
.age. Mr. Hartfiel remained
with the minister and his family
for an entire week, helping to
place furniture in its proper
position and to attend to er-
rands.
The continuous rains of the
past two or three weeks did un-
told damage to the cotton crop.
The lower bolls are beginning to
rot and the dense growth of
foliage prevents the rays of the
sun to penetrate and absorb the
moisture, thus providing a har-
boring place for the boll weevils
which seem to be multiplying
rapidly at present. Fortunately
no rain fell here since Sunday.
Arnim Eckermann and Joe
Voitek of Wallis came up Friday
of last week to spend a few days
at Post Oak Point and Industry,
the former being the home of
their childhood days. While
here they visited at Herman
Dudensing, their old time friend
and stand by of Post Oak Point,
at Industry they visited Mr. and
Mrs. Eugene Simmank, their
relatives. Mr. Simmank had
just returned from Temple
where he had undergone suc-
cessful hospital treatment for
vericose vein.
The Enterprise is authorized
to announce in today’s issue;
that on account of the recent
rains and bad roads, the Skat
Tournament scheduled to take
place last Sunday, Aug. 15, was
postponed to Aug. 29. Posters
will be out in a few days featur-
ing the day’s program which
will be the same as formerly
planned. Also look for the ad
in this week’s issue. The En-
terprise hopes that weather con-
ditions will be fair and that a
large crowd will be present to
make the day a pleasant affair.
