Eugene Oglesby, an old time
Texas printer, lost his wardrobe,
without any insurance, in the
same fire that so badly damaged
the Eagle Lake Headlight office
some five weeks since.
It is said Governor Hobby will
pardon 75 prisoners out of the
penitentiary next Thursday and
already some of the papers are
telling him to don't. As all the
applications for pardons have to
be passed upon by the state
board of pardons, it can readily
be seen that Billy is not the
whole cheese when it comes to
• these fellows out.
Postmaster-General Burleson
was in Texas a short time . since
and while out this way stuck a
>in, so to speak, in Ex-Senaior
Bailey. The Ex. Hon. refers
the P. M. G. through the daily
press as "one Burleson, a man
he hasn't spoken to in ten years"
apd threatens to jump into the
political arena again and fight
him to a finish should- Albert
ever come up for another elective
office. Joe is a fighter and Al-
bert had better try to get close
enough to tickle him under the
chin if there is danger of his los
ing out as boss of the postoffice
doin's in Washington.
m
Bruce McCarty, with a strong
accent on the a to make it Irish,
who had his Eagle Lake Head
light printing office so badly
damaged by fire some five
since that he had to tem
porarily suspend publication, is
on his feet again and is sending
out a paper that good that no one
id suspect that it had even
n scorched. Bruce is one of
finest boys in Texas, a neat
printer, and the boys of the state
, without a single excep-
we know, will be glad to
that he Las overcome every
obstacle and is a*rain monarch of
all he surveys. n
the passing of Waller T.
I'exas loses one of he-i
it—a just judge and a gentle-
,n. It was the writer's pleas-
to meet Judge Burns for the
time at the close of one o<
terms of court in Galveston
iy ten years .ago and the
opinion formed of him at
first meeting was retained
the day of his death. All
s decisions were tempered
mercy and the poor man in
court bad an equal showing
one of wealth and distinc-
His demise will be mourned
people in all walks of life
ghout Texas.

gersol watch Saturday afternoon
and in his editorials the pen has
been used just as he handled the
broad-ax a few years ago while
shaping timbers to be used by a
railroad bridge gang. When the
legislative committee now nosing
through the state institutions get
through and report, it will be
found, no doubt, that Farmer
Jim was a public benefactor in
opening the eyes of the tax-pay-
ers to questionable methods re-
sorted to in order that a lot of
scheming politicians might feed
at the state crib.
It developes that the children
in the state deaf an$ dumb asy-
lum, some days, have nothing to
eat but sauerkraut and potatoes,
while the people who run the
shack founder themselves on ca-
nary bird eggs and whipped
peaches and cream. No such
villainy is practiced in any other
state department, buj; here there
is no danger of the management
getting "cussed out." No doubt
it would a humane act to kick
'em out and place t^ie institution
under the care of people who
have hearts.

November 19. On their way

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA
National Highway
Wednesday afternoon Mayor
Gus. Russek received a telegram
from the committee working
with the National Highway asso-
ciation at Austin with the news
that Fayette county had been
given $50,903.00 to help out on
its 20 miles of highway from the
county line near Weimar to the
county line near Flatonia. The
United State government gave
$36,773 00 towards the part on
which U. S. mail is carried and
the State of Texas gave $14,130.00
towards building the balance.
If the contracts do not exceed
the present estimate of $5000 a
mile, and this estimate was made
by the different inspecting! com-
mittees, the government assist-
ance will cut the cost down a little
more than half. It is a big thing
to have dose to $51,000 turned
loose by outside parties for road
construction work. The largest
single item is hauling and plac-
ing the gravel and all of this will
be done by local labor. The cost
each year to the individuals for
the part we must jrny, will not
be noticed, but the big lump sum
turned loose among our people at
this time will benefit all.
The iuterest in the road is
growing each day. Those who
have-been opposed, realizedjthat
the roads must be buiit some day
as present heavy traffic increas-
ing daily, tear dirt roads up
faster than they can be bui;t.
There will never come another
time when we can pull down
$51,000 of outside money with
free grovernment inspection to
help out and all those who have
expressed themselves say it
would be the poorest kind of bus
iness policy to let that money get
away from us.
Lists are being circulated
pledging the citizens to work and
vote for the road and so far not a
single man asked, but ha% signed
cheerfully. From present indi-
cations Schulenburg will soon
be on the longest paved road in
the world.
