The Rotarians of the city were hosts
last night to the faculty of Jefferson
Davis High School. The entertainment . -------- — -----
was a dinner with all the “Rote trim-) A. S. Johnson, stale highway
mins.” The Episcopal ladies prepar-
ed and served the dinner which was
second to none they have ever given
to the public. Truly it was one of the
best we ever partook of.
The hour of assemblage was an-
nounced for seven o’clock sharp, but
as this is the one occasion of the year
when the men leave their wives “to
home" and have the pleasure either
of the other fellow’s frau or an un-
encumbered lass as his guest, some of
the Rotes were considerably tardy.
Yes. sir, I mean they were late! Shame
on you grandpas! Flat or no flat, you
should orter get your guest to a din-
ner before the turkey and gravy gets
cold.
Slim Daughtie was toastmaster, and
those whom he did not toast, he did
roast. But like good understanding
fellows, they let him get by with all
his jabs. He made a good one, after
he got his vest pulled down and his
necktie all fixed. In the excitement
of being the man of the hour, he let
Aaron Simon get away with both of
his young lady guests, and he had to
spend his dinner hour seated between
Gustafson (whose Rotary-Arm Maud
was the fair guest of some qiher gal-
lant brother) and Kiser. Can you
imagine a more distressing distress?
But the dinner was on, and after
being thorooehly enjoyed by a large
numbci of eaters .the speech-making
began. Rote Reuben Harkey, he of
official fame, made the first address,
and it was to the effect that Matagorda
County is just, realizing that she can
crawl off her little mat, and if she
uses the own strength, she will soon
be walking the highways and by-ways,
the admired of all seekers of better-
ment for themselves. He forecast a
new and adequate high school build-
ing in the very near future.
Rote Erickson was called on. and
after stating that he had made up four
speeches for this occasion, he prompt-
ly forgot them all. and told a tale out
of school (board). He stated how he
and Mrs. Wadsworth had to get on
their knees during the Board meet-
ings when It is election time to keep
the rest of the board from electing all
of the beautiful lassies and ladies who
apply for a position on the Jefferson
Davis faculty. (Being immune, but how
come?)
At about this time, two of the facul-
ty put on a stunt (a real one.too) in
the fashion of a quiz. The first ques-
tion was like this, “How far can a
bear go into a forest?” The school
board was the class, with just a few
other smarties added to make the riv-
alry for the prize keen. Another
question was "Who said ’it is good to
the last drop’?” Gustafson said it whs
Volstead. After much thought and
agitation all were answered, and when
the papers were graded, it. was found
the Right Honorable Sir, the Mayor of
the City, received the highest grade,
and was presented with the “Dog.”

By the terms of the contract, which

figs to be pooled each season and re-

(Wharton Spectator)
At a special meeting of the city
< ounril Monday night Hie offer of Mr.
super-
visor for this district, was accepted
and an order for gravel enough to sur-
face lite Hay City road from the end
of tlie pavement on Milam street to
the city limits was placed. Mr. John-
son had stated that if the ejty would
buy the gravel he would put it down
on the road and maintain this strip
along witli tlie balance of tlie high-
way. Tlie city dads felt that this was
a good offer, too good to turn down,
so they took Mr. Johnson up on Lite
mutter.
And Mr. Johnson is making good liis
promise. Tlie gravel has begun to ar-
rive. and he lias been at work throw-
ing up liis shoulders and getting the
roadbed in shape so that when the
gravel is applied there wil be no de-
lay in getting it down into a good
road.
The people of Wharton, when this
little strip is finished, will have :i
spelendid road all the way to Bay
City, one that can be traveled in all
kinds of weather, and it is through
the zeal of Mr. Johnson Hint this high-
way lias been built. To him is due
the thanks of the people of Wharton,
Bay City and tlie intermediate points.

day at Gulf. Botli teams showed ag-
gressiveness lint lacked that work to-

These men were chosen by the |
coaches of Freeport, Goose Creek and ■

Mllby one, Bay City one, and Goose
Creek three.
Here is how they line up;
Jackson, Mllby, end.

It is very probable that maay will
not agree with this choice, but the
beauty part of th«se mythical teams
is that you can choose your own and I
make it just as you want it.

his title of "Rotary Baby” usurped

that his feelings were not hurt, Jamie
was there with his “wandering min-

dandy good music and song. And their
music always puts a fellow in a splen-

did the wiggle-wiggle at the drums,

their plans so as to coincide witli Hie
Brazoria county project in district 27,
there will be eight miles of mud road
in tliat section of the iiug-tlie-CouBt
highway that will not be built prob-
ably for many years, and Matagorda
county may lose state aid on her pro-
ject in tlie eastern emi of Hie county.
Brazoria county is in a position to
finance her portion of this roadway,
providing a new designation can be se-
cured by the way of Sweeny through
district 27. which lias Hie money and
tile right-of-way and are ready to do-
nate both to Hie state highway depart-
ment on tlie one-third basis.
Engineering data and spccifictiHonH
have tlie endorsement of the county
engineer and these plans show the
feasibility of tlie project. Building this
roadway would not lengthen the route,
nor would it add to the cost to either
of tlie counties concerned or Hie state.
Not only would a fine agriculture
territory be given a good road, but
these plans would hasten Hie comple-
tion of the Hug-the-Coast highway
and link Btiy City and Matagorda
