John Nordhausen Dead
It was hard to believe the
news that went the rounds here
Tuesday morning that John
Nordhausen was dead. A feel
ing that the tilings the good
Lord does are often sudden and
mysterious.
John was known to every man,
woman aud child in this terri
tory, be always had a big friend
]y smile and a friendly greeting
for everyone.
John must have had a premoni-
tion that all was .not well, as it
was his intention to leave here
right away. He was in the
Sticker office Friday telling us
he was going to leave, he said ii
he stayed here he would die. He
was going into West Texas or
Mexico.
John took sick late Monday
evening, he would not eat his
supper claiming he felt bad.
Along about day light in the
morning he seemed to take a
coughing spell which caused a
hemmorage. A doctor was sum
moned but when he arrived he
said it was too late. At about
eight o'clock Tuesday morning
John gave up the fight.
John was born and reared at
High Hill, he has lived in that
vicinity all of his life. He mar-
ried Miss Pauline Seidel, she
preceeded him in death having
died in Oct. 1922. Up until his
wife's death John was a farmer,
he hen ^ave up farming and ot-
Odine an active salesman for
Chas. Vogt, selling Chevrolets.
he was a good salesman having
sold a large number of cars.
John was a member of the
Praetorians, he was an honorary
member of the Herman Sons
Lodge of Schulenburg.
The remains were laid to rest
in the Old High Hill cemetery
Thursday afternoon a* 2:30 Rev.
Paul Piepenbrok officiating. A
large concourse of relatives arid
friends being present far tne
last saa rites. All of his children,
brothers and sisters were there.
He is survived by two children,
Mrs. Paul Stoever and Mrs.
T'ommie McELide, by four broth-
ers, Kudoip, Peter, Paul and
Chas., all of whom live here or
close to this city, four sisters,
Mrs. E. J. Wolters and Mrs. H.
'Graf, Mrs. Agnes Seeberger and
Miss Gus Nordhausen of Hous-
ton. He is also survived by three
grandchildren.
To the above the Sticker joins
in common with its many read-
ers in extending heartfelt sym-.
pathv and condolauce.

DON'T take our word for it—
Simply ask anyone who has seen
D. W. Griffin's

they'll ell von it is a PICTURE
among PICTURES.

Shell Explodes, Cuts'%tfid
Frank Schimek of th^ Engle
section, was very painfully in-
jured last Monday.
Frank had loaded his Winches-
ter and gone to the home of his
brother-in-law to help him kill a
hog. But his brother-in-law de-
cided not to kill the hog, so
Prank started home, he had not
gone far whena rabbit jumped up.
He shot at it and wounded it, he
tried to throw another shell iuto
the barrel from the magazine.
In some manner the shell got
hung and discharged. The bul-
let going out of the end of the
barrel but the brass portion flew
out at the side of the gun into
the fleshy part of his hand be-
tween the thumb and forefinger,
tearing the flesh badly and cut-
ting several large blood Vessels.
He was then four miles from
home and walking. By the time
he had reached home he had lost
a great amount of blood as it ran
.out in a large stream. A physi
cian was immediately summoned,
he hurried over, dressing the
wound. Frank's hand is getting
along nicely but he is very weak
from the loss of so much blood.
Surprise Party
More Rain
This section was visited by
another rain here Monday and
Tuesday, just what amount fell is
unknown here, but it was suffici
mt to delay plowing for another
week or two. Some of the farm
ers were busy getting their
fields plowed when this rain
started. A number of them
hdve finished, but the majority
ha^e just got started good or not
an all.
The roads were getting in fair
shape, these will probably have
fjO be gone over again.
Monday morning ice was again
visable here, Sunday the ice was
ibout a quarter of an inch thick.
Weaie having more cold and
wet weather this year than this
section has had for a number of

Pay Your Poll Tax
Eagle Lake to
Have Play Grounds
From the last issue of the
Eagle Lake Headlight we learn
that the city of Eagle Lake is
soon to have a Municipal Swim-
ming Pool, Camp Site and Public
Parif.
The McCarty Bros., have do-
nated five acres of land a block
and a half from the business sec-
tion of town to the city absolute
ly free of charge for this purpose.
Work on same will begin at once
and by summer the swimming
pool and play grounds will be in
readiness. This no doubt will be
a big drawing card for Eagle
Lake.
Attend Over-
land Instructions
H. P. Schaefer and Richard
Parma went to San Antonio last
Sunday to attend the Overland
and Willys Knight school of in-
structions on pieces and parts
and how to repair them. H. P.
Schaefer returned Wednesday
highly pleased with the work
going on there. Richard will
spend the balance of the week
there, he will return much wiser
and knowing much more about
these popular cars than hereto-
fore.
By all means pay your poll tax
now, if you have not paid it pre
viously. You must pay your
poll tax before January 31st., if
you want to vote next year. Get
busy if you have not gotten
yours, get one for your wife, and
every member of your family
who is eligable to vote.
This year is election year from
President of U.*S. down to do"
catcher. We have some people
in office who should be removed,
many of your friends will prob-
ably run for office, if you haven't
your receipt you can't vote.
Don't growl about the people
who are elected to office doing
what they please, if you don't
get a poll tax aud do your duty
aud vote for the best man.
There is no time to lose, if you
live around Schuleuburg or this
district, see Ernst Russek at the
State Bank, pay him, he has the
tax rolls and will attend to this
f3r you free of charge. He re-
presents the county tax collector.
We cannot over estimate the
value of a poll tax reecipt this
coming year. The battles ail
along the line will probably be
hot, do your duty to yourself,
your country and your neighboi,
get a poll tax receipt so you can
vote for the best man, thereby
assuring good administration of
office. Let's put this and every
district in and around here on
the 100 per cent poll tax paid
basis.
Flatonia Argus Under
New Management
Mr. James Howerton who
formerly published the Halletts-
ville Herald has leased the Fla-
tonia Argus from Henry Hurr.
The change will take effect
this |week. Mr. Howerton is a
first class newspaperman. In
taking the editorial chair which
Mr. Hurr has so ably filled Mr.
Howerton has undertaken a task.
But knowing how well he edited
the Herald we are sure he will
give Flatonia a paper second to
none in this section.
The Sticker welcomes Mr.
Howerton as its neighbor on the
west. If we can be of any ser-
vice Mr. Howerton kindly com-
mand us.
Way Down East
The above is the title of a pic-
ture that will be screened at The
Cozy Theatre, Tuesday, January
22.
Way Down East is beyond
a doubt, and you will say so
when you have seen it, one of the
best pictures ever screened, a
picture that will carry you along
the daily paths of life, a picture
in reality, shows the struggle of
a young woman, a picture inter-
mingled with laughter and tears
and one that you will never re-
gret seeing, a picture that will
touch your very soul. Ask those
who have seen it.
The management hasarrauged
to give three shows of this won-
derful picture, matinee at 3 p.m.
second show at 6 p. m. and the
last show at 8:30. The usual ad-
mittance of one lady with each
gentlemann ticket on Tuesday
night has been eliminated for
this picture due to the high cost
of same but the price of admit-
tance has been placed within
reach of all, matinee 10 and 22c,
night 15 and 30c.
