GILLESPIE COUNTY .die burial of an adult Indian 5^4 feet
Indian Remains Found in height, in a grave 33 inches long.
A party of anthropologists from The figure lying east and west, was
the University of Texas, who have
been making excavations for two
weeks at the base of the shelter rock
on Onion creek on the property ef
Charles Lehmann near Lange’s Mill
at Doss, discovered last week a bun-
set off by long rocks. A bone head
and two arrowheads were discovered
with the skeleton, which is the first
ever excavated at this spot.
In addition, 331 specimens of flint
and bones of turkey, deer, buffalo
Expert
Welding
Welding jobs on an automobile require more skill than
merely joining together two broken or cracked parts by
the use of an electric or acetylene torch. True, that is
the first requirement, but equally important is the finish-
ing process that leaves no “welding scars.” Our work-
men are skilled in the art of car welding and have mod-
ern equipment with which to do jobs you will be proud
of.

wild hogs and other smaller animals
have been unearthed in the strip 150
feet long, 14 feet wide, and six feet
deep that members of the party have
excavated. One specimen of pottery
indicative of the West has been
found. Petroglyphs on the face of
the shelter rock have been retraced
and six new groups of figures have
been discovered. A. M. Woolsey is
in charge of the expedition, with
Charles T. Butler and J. M. Hender
son as assistants. The skeleton of
the Indian and the articles, together
with sketches and photographs, will
be placed in the University of Texas
museum.—Fredericksburg Standard

Fat Stock Show
Plans have been completed to hold
a meeting next Tuesday night in the
agricultural room of the Fredericks-
burg high school for the purpose of
discussing the forthcoming annual
Gillespie County Fat Stock show,
sponsored by the Fredericksburg Fu-
ture Farmers class.—Radio Post.
Crude Oil Burned
Large clouds of black smoke were
seen rolling skyward Wednesday
afternoon in the northerly direction
from Fredericksburg. Fiears were at
first held that a big fire had done con-
siderable damage at some place, but
investigation shows that the fire re-
sulted from the burning of crude oil
at the Shell Pipe line pumping sta-
tion in the Crabapple community. No
damage is reported. The pipe line
is -reported to have broken and the
excess oil escaping from the pipes
was burned.—Radio Post.
and said that he lost considerable
feed last Thursday when two stacks
caught fire and burned completely
down. Cause of the fire is unknown.
About 2,000 bundles of maize with the
heads on and about eight tons of
loose feed were lost. The fire was
discovered at about 9 o’clock Thurs-
day morning and it was only with a
great deal of work that Mr. Evans
was able to save four smaller stacks
that were in the same lot. The stacks
burned slowly and it was not until
about 10 o’clock Thursday night be-
fore he felt safe to leave them, Mr.
Evans said.
No Salary Changes
Mason county officers’ salaries will
remain on the same schedule as they
have in the past under the fee sys-
tem according to vote of the county
commissioners at their monthly ses-
sion last week. With counties under
20,000 population the matter is op-
tional, under the salary bill passed
at the last session of the legislature.
The resignation of E. B. (Lige)
Garner as constable was accepted.
Following acceptance of the resig-
nation of Miss Leah Cox as county7
home demonstration agent, on mo-
tion by Commissioner N. D. West-
brook, all members of the court vot-
ed to continue the work of a home
demonstration agent. The court
agreed to be responsible in the
amount of $50 per month as salary for
such an agent. The sum is a decrease
of $16.66 per month over what is be-
ing paid the present agent.
EARLY PLOWS MUCH LIKE
"DRAGGING CAT BY TAIL’
The early plows fell far short of
the modern dictionary definition—
“An Implement to cut, lift invert, and
partly pulverize the soil.” Even as
late as 1850 plows failed to cut and
turn a clean furrow. “They rooted,
but would not invert the soil.”
In the South the shovel plow was
used almost universally until some
years after the Civil War. Records
in the Bureau of Agricultural Engin-
eering show they were “made of
wrought iron in the shape of * * * an
Irish shovel, with a loop on the back-
side for the stock to enter. They
generally are made by the black-
smith on the plantation where they
are used. They are drawn through
the ground wjth one horse or a mule
* * * throwing the dirt both ways. 1;
is pretty much like dragging a cat
by the tail.”
“The Old Colony” plow used in the
United States about 1820, reports the
1899 Department of Agriculture Year-
book, left furrow's standing up, “like
the ribs of a lean horse in the month
of March. A lazy plowman sits on
the beam and counts every bout (cir-
cuit) of his day’s work.”
To have a post office and ‘village
named for her is the unique honor
conferred upon Lily Pons, of movie,
concert and Metropolitan Opera
House fame. “Lily Pons” in Mary-
land cancelled postage on 1500 holj^
day greeting cards which the coiora-
ture soprana mailed to friends in all
parts of the United States.
