Nussbaums To
Leave Schulenbnrg
It is with sincere regret that
we chronicle the news that Mr.
and Mrs. H. Nussbaum are clos-
ing their business here and movs
ing back to Eagle Lake.
These good people have won
the respect of everyone in this
section, they have made most
excellent citizens pf onr town
and no one was mor.e welcome to
remain here and do business
than these good people.
It is with regret that they
leave our city. Mr. (Nussbaum
had been trying to sell his place
of^business and his home in Eagle
Lake so that they could remain
here always, but he was unable
to dispose it of at this time.
His son who had been manag-
ing his Eagle Lake store did not
like store business but wanted
to go to Houston, this forced Mr.
Nussbaum to have to give up
one of his stores as he had no
one to operate it. Owning his
own store building and home in
Eagle Lake and being unable to
sell forced him to return.
Mr; and Mrs. Nussbaum both
stated that they found this city
a good business place and the
people here ideal in every res-
pect and that it was with a heavy
heart that they broke the im-
mediate bonds of new neighbors
and friends and left our city.
Some time in the future perhaps
they will return and if there is
such a thing as a latch string on
the outside 'of the doors to a city
^it will be there bidding welcome
these good people.
Mr. Nussbaum is putting on
a farewell sale to reduce his
stock as much as possible be-
fore moving to avoid having to
pack and ship everything possi-
ble. See the advertisement in
this issue?
Excellent Car Painting
The Etlinger automobile paint
shop at Moulton is turning out
some excellent work in painting
automobiles. Their business is
increasing daily. The editor of
this paper just had his car re-
painted and the work is excel-
lent, we believe in saying nice
things when they are deserving
and this work is deserving. Any-
one wanting a car painted
would do well to get in touch
with these people. See the ad-
vertisement running in this
paper regularly.
Ermis dance hall reports the

Another Large Tooth Found
Another very large tooth which
belonged to some prehistoric
animal was found in Walkers
Branch. This tooth belonged to
to some animal four or five times
as large as an elephant. The
tooth is complete showing the
nerve center through which the
nerve entered. The tooth was
some 10 inches long, live inches
wide and four inches high. It
weighed 5 pounds. The pure
ivory on the outside makes it one
of the most beautiful specimans
anyone cbuld wish for.
This was added to the collec-
tion on display at the Ignaz Rus-
sek State Bank.
Another small portion of a
tooth was found in the Ammans-
villie section by Mr. Heller who
brought it to the Sticker office.
This was a layer of ivory from
some monsters tooth. All of
these finds are valuable and are
well worth seeing by those in-
terested in these things.

County Judge
Hon. Theo. W. Leuders, our
present County Judge, has
authorized the Sticker to an-
nounce that he will be a candi-
date for re-election to the office
of County Judge of Payette
County subject to the democratic
primaries, July 24th.
"Teddy" as he is better known
around the County has made
Fayette a most excellent official.
He has had the interest of the
people at heart, and has labored
hard and faithfully to do his
duty, which is not always pleas
ant for an official in his position.
He has worked hard for the
roads of the County, going many
miles from home and staying
out until midnight making
speeches in the interest of bet-
ter roads where bond issues
were pending.
"Teddy" is one of the most
popular men in the County not
only with the fair sex, but with
everyone.
We feel the people of Fayette
can safely trust the affairs of the
county in the hands of this hand*
some bachelor.

to everyone in Schulenburg is

burg will.be reduced 3 per cent

This means a substantial sav-
ing to the people who have their
property insured here.
Some towns received reduc-
tions running as high as 15 per
cent depending on the kind of
fire department, etc., in each
town, we received the minumum
only 3 per cent but even this
is welcomed. The reductions
throughout the state ranged
from 3 per cent to 15 per cent.

Each day now more and more
people are connecting on to the
Sewer system, this is the spirit,
we have the system here, it costs
nothing after one is connected
up, why not get the benefit of
what you are paying taxes to
have.
The business sfction of town
is far behind the resident sec-
tions, why? No one seems to
understand. We understand
none of the main or side street
business houdes have yet con-
nected on. Let's get busy on
this and everyone who has not
arranged to connect their resi-
dence do so before the hot
weather, with its flies, gnats,
mosquitoes, etc., arrive by the
tens of thousands to make life
miserable for the entire town.
The sewer system will drain the
water away which is now flowing
along most of the streets, breed-
ing p'aces for insects and disease.
You good ladies of Schulenburg
realize what it medns, get after
friend husband and have him
get busy now before the hot
weather sets in, and it is due
right away. Let's have a clean
healthy Schulenburg the kind of
a town that everyone is proud
of, let's all be boosters and do
our bit everyway we can. That's
the kind of a citizen the town
needs and everyone likes.
Announces For
Re-Election As Sheriff
Wm. (Bill) Loessinhas author-
ized the Sticker to announce that
he will be a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the office of Sheriff of
Fayette County subject to the
Democratic primaries July 24th.,
1926.
We do not know of anything
that we could say about his
q ualifications that are not gen-
erally known. Everyone knows
Fayette County never had a bet-
ter Sheiiff in its history than it
has now in this man. No Coun-
ty in Texas has a better one.
Since "Bill" has been Sheriff
every phone call about trouble
anywhere in the County was
answered by his prompt arrival
and 99 times out of a hundred
the guilty person found.
"Bill" is about six foot six and
every inch in this make up is a
"He" man, he will fight a circle
saw, or enter the devils own den
if there is anyone there he
wants, he does not know the
meaning of the word fear.
Above all "Bill" has a natural
born detective head on him, he
can find evidence leading to ar*
rest, where the ordinary officer
can't see a thing. This is what
makes him the excellent reputa-
tion, he just is a natural born
officer. No question as to his
re-election and by a larger ma-
jority than any man running for
this office ever received before in
the history of the County.
Everyone loves "Bill Loessin".
His announcement is placed in
the proper column for the voters
consideration.

the derrick to make it stronger
so the hole can be drilled much
deeper if necessary. Mr. Hoff-
mann the driller went to Luling
Tuesday to get some expeit
derrick men to come here to do
this work. The weieht of the
drill stems, casing, etc., going
2200 feet into thegrom-.d is a big
strain on the present condition
of the derrick.
The well passed through the
finest formation yet encountered
Monday at a depth of 2170 feet.
Everyone was pepped up by the
formation found there. These
men mean business and intend

Photographer
Established Record
L. M. Herzik, our local photo-
grapher, reports that a record
of films for all times was estab-
lished here during the recent
sfiow. He received a little more
than 600 rolls of films in three
days time to develope. This
means that more than 3000 pic-
tures were snapped in three
days, after the first three days
they still continued to roll in
faster than on any previous oc-
casion. It is estimated that
around 5000 possible pictures
were snapped of this snow.
The entire local supply of films
were exhauted, and all the avail-
able supply at the wholesale
houses of Dallas, Houston and
San Antonio were exhausted. It
was days *nd days before any
more could be obtained.
Mr. Herzik says he ahd his as-
sistants were completely ex-
hausted from over work. He is
now getting caught up with his
work, this followed very closly
On his Christmas rush which
worked he and his force over
time during and even after the
holidays.
Mr. Herzik is well known as
one of the best photographers in
Texas, he draws trade over a
wide area to Schulenburg. He
is a live wire doing lots of adver-
tising and sending out lots of
printed advertising all of which
draws trade to Schulenburg.
Oil Excitement At Flatonia
Tuesday afternoon the driller
drilling the city water well at
Flatonia struck what was report-
ed to be an oil well at a depth of
500 feet. Word quickly spread
around the country, people rush*
ed there from all surrounding
towns, only to find that the oil
had been carried away in tin
cans and buckets.
A core was taken Wednesday
morning, and according to some
oil men who secured a part of
of the core it was a bed of lignite
formation which was encounter-
ed.
Excitement Tuesday was very
high people there were airesdy
talking about riches,- etc. It
would be too bad if only a lignite
formation was found.
We sincerely hope that our
neighbors do strike oil and clean
up, this well is on City property
and was being drilled to furnish
the City a supply of water.
Ike Lippman has built a con-
crete sidewalk in front of hip
pretty home. More of our citi-
zens should fall in line and do
this same thing. Nothing beau-
tifies a town more than a pretty
cement sidewalk in front of and
leading up to the homes witfi a
pretty yard. Lets get busy and
build more of them in Schulen*
burg. Lets have a reputation
here, like the editor's former
home town Temple had.it boasted
of having more miles ot concrete
walk and shade trees than any
town of its sise in the United
States. I^ets get this same rep -
utatiqn for Schulenburg.
