The Richmond Coaster inci-
dentally pays the Sticker a compli-
ment and then wets its pencil in
vitriol and proceeds to roast as
follows:
The Schulenburg Sticker has always been
noted for Its fairness, but the contemptible and
low-down flings It constantly hurls at Mr.
Chilton Is rapidly Creating the suspicion that
it is losing its head and dignity through some
personal spite. It forgets that it may have to
eat crow and that an opponent may be a genae-
man and an able man even though it Is opposed
to him. Its last childish slur is this:
Some of the newspapers of the State ar«
trying to make Chilton capital out of the fact
that he was once a cub In a printing office. But
when It Is known that he didn't perform the
dntlesof even that position satisfactorily, we
wJly j,aTe pigen ^
will violate the law by betting
an $100, and put np a certified
to that amount, that it can't prove its
the winnings to go to the El Caropo
or anything else It wants. Why not
put up a manly and honest light, even if you do
know you are wrong?
When the Sticker has to "eat
crow," it generally gets the brand
from about Richmond. It always
takes the best to satisfy our appe-
tite. The Sticker man calls your
by placing a certified check in
> n.n1r"farJ>ha specified amount. The
Sticker was fbrlBaihSjL^ong before
it was a contest between
and Bailey, and had the Coaster
picked up the fight that the Sticker
made for Mr. Robson the Tenth
congressional district would have
been represented by a democrat
instead of the present one-idead
individual. Joe Bailey visited the
^district and spoke in behalf of all
democratic nominees, something
that Mr. Chilton did not do. We
of the Tenth district needed help
l'e great commoner, Bailey,
led. If Horace Chilton ever
came down to help us he certainly
•«*«^rtised. Had we had
such help as we know the Coaster
ive we might be satisfied to
Horace Chilton.
The Sticker cannot follow the
La Grange Journal's man in his
dirty flings at Governor Sayers—
in fact, the Sticker has too much
respect for its readers to inflict
upon them such things as should
be a matter of privacy between
physician and motherhood. Suf-
fice it to say, that the Journal's
"it" has again betrayed that low
and degraded language that must
eventually bring him into contempt
with all human kind. We do not
care to discuss a question with
such people, and leave the matter
to the intelligent people of Fayette
county to give the verdict between
such scum and an intelligence like
Joe Sayers'.
Now don't everybody plant cot-
ton this year because it is 9 cents
now—it will go down again it the
acreage is too large.

Weimar Locals.
Mr. L. T. Tooke has bad luck
with his porters. About a month
ago one of them went into his
room and stole a watch. He was
caught, however, and is now in jail.
Sunday before last a Mr. Brown
and wife were in the hotel, when
someone entered their room, broke
open a grip and got a ladies' purse
which contained $15. Mr. Brown
and wife left next morning for New
Orleans, and after arriving there
they for the first time missed the
purse. They wrote to Mr. Tooke,
describing the purse and also its
contents. In the meantime Mr.
Tooke's porter had quit his job
and left town. Suspicion pointed
toward him, and after locating him
in Schulenburg, Constable Ernst
Shaw went up and got the young
fellow, who had the purse but had
spent the contents. Marshal In-
sal and Constable Shaw took him
to jail, where he will await trial.
The porter's name is Jim Murphy;
only recently he was released from
jail at LaGrange where he had
been confined for attempted rape
upon Kate Schaefer.
Thursday was the first, and there
was the usual stir among the bill
collectors, and "from what your,
correspondent CGuld see, other
people's collections were very good,
; Mr. Hugo Richter,who has been
quarantined on account of having
smallpox, sent word to the people
who had bills for him to present
them in person and he would set-
tle them. It is needless to say he
was not molested.
Dr. McGregor has opened up a
store in his old stand and will soon
be able to furnish his customers
anything from a spool of thread to
a wagon.
Editor Goeth was in our city
Saturday and Sunday. He has
been to St. Louis and New Or-
leans. He looks well after his
trip. We expect to hear more
about that trip through the col-
umns of the Sticker.
Ye scribe tell heir to a vote last
Sunday, and as the political cam-
paign will soon be on, hopes to find
a good market for same.
Mr. George Holman has just re-
turned from the San Antonio hos-
pital, after a few weeks' sickness,
and still shows the effects of his
long confinement.
There is so far only one avowed
candidate for mayor—Mr. Owen
Heyer. We expect, though, the
campaign will be a hot one.
Saturday was a busy day, as the
farmers were anxious to lay in a
week's supply and get back to
their work. Rex.

HOPE.
BY X/UCY.
Written for the Schulenburg Sticker.
IIop:'ng!
It keeps one from moping
As vainly they're groping
For life's choicest flowers.
This is the only poem Lucy ever
wrote, and it was just wrenched
out one April day when Lucy was
groping iu the marass of Despair—
and grappling something—brought
it to the surface thinking it was
her dearest wish, to find it on!y
the gem Hope, even glittering, for-
ever tangible! It is the gem star
in the firmament, it is.ihe oases of
the burning desert, it is the life-
boat on the ocean, the wheat fields
on the plain!
Lucy was sitting in a park of
one of our Texas cities and think-
ing, thinking deeply over the
whims that Life took and the slaps
and good shakings it frequently
gave one, and concluded that after
all old Hope, smiling Hope, sweet
old Hope was the very best lover
we had. So Lucy put her arms
around him and hugged him—oh,
so tightly, and let her pale lips
touch his in a long, lingering kiss!
But he is somtt mes lukewarm.
An arc light was burning in the
distance and it. would grow dim
almost to a tiny spari, th^a"9are
out suddenly into phenomenal
brilliancy. Lucy thought what a
good symbol of, Hope—sometimes
so brilliant as almost to dazzle you
—then fading into a tiny spark
with but a dim.ray to cheer one!
Hope and Ambition are awfully
good friends. Hope is the guide
to lead young Ambition .over the
rugged mountains of life. The
Bible speaks often of Hope as,
"Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick, but when the desire cometh
it is the tree of life/' "Go ye
to the stronghold, ye prisoners of
Hope, for ye shall receive double."
Lucy believes that she is a pris-
oner of Hope; Lucy is ambitious
locked in by circumstance, but
dear Hope, the Jailer, has the key
with which to let Lucy free to fly
to mountain tips, to drift in the
fleecy boat of the heavens!
Lord Lytton in his beautiful
poem "Lucile" speaks very cyn-
ically of hope, saying: "What is
hope but deceiving!" Well, if
deception makes one happy, why
not be deceived? For happiness
is what we are striving for, after
all. This is good logic.
Lucy bought a ticket in a lottery
once and got—a dollar's worth of
hope ! But just think of the
beautiful and grand castles that
were built with that dollar for one
whole month!
Lucy will /juote something from
Chas. Gabriel, a writer of grand
sentiment and song:
Hope, blessed hope, how sweet thou art.
A precious boon to mortal heart;
For without thee then life 'twere vain,
With naught but toil and dreary pain;
Ca6tlea that gleam in majesty,
Erected are, sweet Hope, by thee.
What tho' they glitter, fade and fall—
They cast a radiance over all 1 *J
Hope can be looked at pessimist-
ically; it is deceiving—it is a thief
which steals our best energy. It
is the white sails on the sea of life,
which we think are the white
wings of our ship of state, but
turns out delusive, illusive !
Hope some times is tho only
fee the doctor and the groceryman
gets.
Hope, not hair, is the only con-
solation the bald man hath!
Hope turns the world upbide
down!

homa, and in all from May 1894,
has talked in 500 different towns
and communities. Mr. Browning
now travels by rail and has done
so since May, 1898.

Damon-Engle Wedding.
At the Christian church, Wednesday,
February the twenty-eighth, occured
one of the'prettiest weddings which an
Eagle Lake audience has ever wit-
nessed. The beautiful little church
had been transformed into a perfect
bower of pink and white morning
glories, arches of the dainty blossoms
spanning the aisles and forming a
canopy for the bridal party. At the
opening notes of the Wedding March
played on organ and violin by Mrs.
J. W. McCarty and Miss Jacquline
Bruce, the ushers, Mr. Kessler, of
Smithville, and Mr. John York led the
way up the aisle, followed closely by
Miss Jimmie Dyson, maid of honor,
and Mr. Ollie Hill, of Smithville, best
man. Next came Eula D. Smith and
Ethel Stafford, two wee maidens clad
in white, who strewed the path of the
bride and groom with fragrant violets.
Then came the bride, Miss Hallie
Damon, leaning on the arm of the
groom, Mr. Otto Engle, of Smithville.
The Rev. W. Y. Taylor, pastor of the
Christian church, awaited them at the
altar and in his earnest and impress
ive manner, spoke the words which
forever united the destinies of the
young couple before him. The bride
wore an exquisite toilette of pastel
blue cloth with trimmings of white
satin and chiffon. The maid of honor
wore a becoming street dress of gray
with trimmings of rose pink. Mr.
and Mrs. Engle left on the Aransas
at 2,52 for their future home, Smith-
ville. The good wishes and congratu-
lations of many friends followed them
on their journey. Miss Damon was
one of Eagle Lake's sweetest girls
and Mr. Engle nsay well be proud of
the treasure he has won.—-Eagle Lake
Advertiser.
Mr. Engle is a son of Mr. Ernst
Engle, of Bluff, one of Fayette coun-
ty's old and most highly esteemed cit-
izens—haying held the office of post-
master of the Bluff tor the last 30
years. The Sticker wishes the happy
young couple much joy and happiness.
