That Sewer System
The proposed sewer system of
a few weeks ago seems to have
abandoned. Yet the people of
thi3 town want a sewer system
and want it bad. it is talked up
and down the streets every day.
We honestly believe that the
city should own its own water
works and sewer system. We
believe a bond issue for these
two things would be easily car
ried, we have yet to find one man
who has expressed himself
against the city owning the sews
er system.
We believe if the city owned
the works we could gee a rate of
about half of what this company
wanted to charge. Their high
prices was the only thing that
kept their proposition from go-
ing over. Yet with the high
prices they had, they secured
about 90 signers.
The people express themselves
as having waited long enough
and that the right time is here
to do this thing.
We believe the State health
department would send a man
here to give us the necessary in-
formation and data of costs, if
reasonable and it should be, as
Sehulenburg has a natural drain
age from almost all parts of the
town centering down toward
Wolters pasture. With this data
available an election called to
vote on the issue we believe it
would carry by the biggest
majority that any proposition
ever submitted to a vote here
received.
We have a good town here let's
make it better, join with the
Sticker, be a booster. Let's get
that sewer system NOW.

Fire Prevention Week.
Next week from Oct. 5th., to
the 11th., has been designated
as fire prevention week. It
might profit all of us to look
around and see if we have any
piles of trash or other rubbish
which could easily catch tire and
set a building or house on fire. If
we have anything like this let's
clean it up. A little foresight
may save a building or home.
Miss Lois Carr started her
school at Shilo Monday.
I. E. Matejek, aged about 60
years, was murdered in his con-
fectionery store near the depot
in Hallettsville last Thursday
night. He was killed by a negro
named Alex Foley so the report
goes.
The negro with several others
bought some cold drinks and an
argument took place over the
change. The negro who had been
loading cotton near by grabbed
a cotton hook and hooked Mr.
Matejek around the neck, pulled
him upon the counter and then
shot him. The negroes then fled,
but was arrested the following
morning.
That night some parties was
searching for the negroes around
the Old Kinkier section, they
drove up in front of a negroe's
home, got out with their guns,
which frightened the negroes
and they ran. The parties opened
fire shooting one negro through
the leg. He was an innocent
party.
The negro who did the shoot-
ing was drunk at the time, it is
reported, reports also state that
otherwise he has always been a
good citizen and a hard wortier.
Mr. Matejek was buried in the
Catholic cemetery at Halletts
ville Friday.
Date Tree Here
Cbas. Ballard, our express
agent, discovered that one of the
palms in the railroad park here
had a big supply of young dates
growing on it. Several people
examined the tree and the
branches with the small dates on
it.
This being the first time
that this tree has shown signs of
bearing fruit, its efforts will
probably not amount to much.
The dates are very small but the
supply is plentiful. Next year
the dates will probably mature.
The little fellows now on the tree
will probably freeze or fall off be
fore they get any size as the
ground under the tree is now
covered with those that have al-
ready fallen off.
Chapel Exercises
Oil Station News
The big engine and pumps
started working Tuesday morn*
mg at 7 o'clock all up and down
the line. Those people certainly
have some wonderful engines
and pumps.
The local plant is pumping
about 15,000 barrels of oil per
day now. This will increase as
the machinery gets worn in.
The oil company has engaged
Mr. Greenshield to dig a deep
well for them. This deep well
will be drilled to a deptti of.
about 300 feet, where they are
figuring on striking plenty of
water for their big engines.
The crew now at work on the
job consists of the following:
Chief engineer, A. N. Sloan, he
has a wife and six children, En-
gineer C. Schnare, he stated
that his family consisted of a
wife and white persian cat, A.
M. Kisner is the other engineer,
he has a wife and two children.
The oilers are C. H. Harley, he
has a wife and baby. The other
two H. C. Sneed and Douglas
(Red) Glass booth single. The
three telegrapher operators are:
Chas. Meyer who is married,
E. F. Everett and Gus Lewis
who are both single. The Stick5
er welcomes them to the city.
The folks who attended the
Krupala school entertainment
Sunday had a fine time. The
Editor was there during the af-
ternoon and the folks there were
just like one big family, singing
songs and dancing, eating and
drinking just having a jolly good
time. The celebration was a sue
cess, the dance at night drew a
big crowd. Those folks out ther6
are alright and are to be congra-
tulated.
The cotton exchange is a busy
place these days, a good crowd
is always there, a number of our
people and some out of town
people have been playing tbe
market, no suicides reported as
yet. Joe Mrazek says he has an
anti room just outside tbe ex-
change where a man can suicide
17 different ways, from shootine
poison and down to hanging.
The much dreaded foot and
mouth disease which has done
so much damage in California,
broke out in Houston the past
week. 1900 head of cattle are
reported to have been killed,
among them were some fine
brahma bulls valued at $10,000
each by their owner. Aquaran*
tine has been placed againsi
Harris, Galveston and Fort Bend
counties.
The cold norther which visited
this section Sunday and Monday
was quite a relief after the hot
weather we have had this season.
The next one that happens
along will see lots of hogs killed
and a supply of fresh country
sausage on the market. An early
and severe winter is predicted
for this year, the wild ducks are
down much earlier than usual
and in greater numbers.
Preacher Is Grateful
At the closing service of the
Conference year at Glass Chapel
last Sunday the salary for the
pastor was paid in full. This was
accomplished there Mrs. C- L.
Glass, helping the other col-
lectors, and by the contributions
of many outside friends of the
church in Schulenburg. I here-
by thank everyone who helped in
anyway.
