Things to Worry About
The allies’ left is trying to
move around the Germans’ right,
but the Germans’ right is also
moving around the allies’ left.
Now, if the left of the Germans’
right moves around the right of ■
the allies’ left, then what is left
of the Germans’ right must be
right where the allies left. But
what they will say about each
other in their papers next week
will be a caution. And we guess

ton Post, president of* the Press

the weakness of the other and

when both were laying the foun-

Mr. McFaddin was born in the
Republic of Texas,-near Goliad,
and has been a cattleman all his
life. He is the father of Al Mc-
Faddin of Victoria, former presi-
dent of the Texas Cattle Raisers’
Association. He has retired from
active business and resides with
his son in Victoria.
The name of McCollough is
interwoven in the history of Tex-
as, L. C. McCollough is a son of
the first man killed in the war of
Texas independence, Sam Mc-
Collough, who was shot in a
skirmish with Mexican troops a
few months before the siege of
the Alamo. He is also a distant
relative of General Ben McCol-
lough, who commanded a Texas
brigade in the Confederate armi.
Mr. McCollough was also born in
the Republic of Texas, in San
Antonio. He now resides at 320

George H. Atkins, editor of

Littleton Tally, editor of the Go-

cuff during the morning’s session
of the Texas Press Association.
Messrs. Atkins and Tally have
engaged in spirted newspaper
controversies for a number of
years regarding the merits of
their respective towns, and as a
result the relations between them
have been badly strained. While
editor Atkins was nominating
Beeville for the next meeting

Tally remarked aloud that the

J. E. Connevey Found Dead
J. E. Connevey, prominent
citizen of Berclair, and well
known here, died Tuesday night,
hie lifeless body being found
yesterday morning when he did
not arise at his usual hour. The
Picayune has learned nothing
further concerning his death.
Mr. Connevey was an old news
paper man, a very able writer
and from time to time has con-
tributed the Berclair news items
to the local papers. A daughter
of Mr. Connevey was /to have
been married last night. Mr.
Connevey had a large family,
and most of his children are still

Westwood Heights Note*
Goliad has, in Westwood
Heights, the ideal residence ad*
dition and business there during
the past week has been quite
lively.
Several sales and trades
noticed and the property has re-
cently taken on three more own-
ers in Messrs. J. C. Moore, E. A.
Martin and Judge Passmore,
which gentlemen purchased a
one-sixth interest each, and with
Messrs. J. A. White and Wayne
Davis will devote some time and
money to the improvement of
the property.
The owners have been consid-
ering extending the water and
light service to the addition and

Sunday services Mrs. McLeod
sang beautiful solos.
Mrs. Curtis is an able speaker
of national reputation and her
short visit to Goliad gave pur
people much pleasure. Her talks
were indeed treats and no doubt
much good will result from her
efforts. She was very favorably
impressed with Goliad’s beauty
and seemed to enjoy her stay in
oar city immensely. / ,
Thursday night when, upon short
- notice, a large crowd gathered
and got to work in earnest. The
reports of the various committees
recently appointed were read and
while* no great amount of work
has yet been done by them, the
report of the membership com-
mittee was encouraging as sev-
eral new member have lately
been added to the long list.
Mr. W. M. Seeligson has been
appointed to head the fair de-
partment of the Club for this
year and there is no one but
what is glad to see Mr. Seeligson
in this place. He has under con-
sideration a number of plans
whereby he expects to make this
•event the largest and best yet
held—and he’ll do it. The dates
decided upon for the fair are
October 27th, 28th and 29th.
The advertising committee was
■appointed and consists of Messrs.
J. C. Moore, E. A. Martin and J.
Littelton Tally, and the sum of
$200 was appropriated by the
club to be used by them for the
purpose of advertising the Fair
and Huskin’ Bee. The dates of
the big advertising excursions
will beannounced in a short time
—watch for it.
Something else was accom-
plished at the meeting that will
be of interest to everyone in Go-
liad: The Club appointed a com-
mittee whose duty it is to pur-
chase 200 feet of new hose for
the fire department and also to
get information and prices on an
automobile fire truck.
After the normal proposition
and the trip to Austin was
thoroughly discussed in all its
branches a committee was ap-
pointed to see if something could
not be done to influence the
Charco people to have their
freight shipments routed via Go-
liad as we now have an excellent
road to this prosperous little
town. It is true that it is a little
closer to Runge, but our good
roads and the fact that Charco is
in this county should make up
the difference. Goliad wants the
Charco trade and will do all it
can to make trading in Goliad
pleasant and profitable for its
neighbora.

Millinery Openings Please
Goliad’s millinery openings
and style shows last week will
live long in the memory of Goliad
county ladies. All day long on
the opening days, Friday and
Saturday, March 5th and 6th,
the stores were crowded with
eager, beauty-loving ladies who
were feasting their eyes on
the georgeous displays. 1 The
stores were beautifully decora-
ted and apparently there was
much business done. The
weather however, was not of
the kind in which the ladies
could display their recent pur*
chases.
