many friends, Mr. Will Howard
and Miss Clara McKinzie, accom-
panied by Mabry Thomas and
Miss Viva Borden, Bernice Price,
and Miss Iris McKinzie, and Mrs.
Clyde McKinzie. drove over to
Refugio last Tuesday evening and
were married, the ceremony be-
ing performed by Judge Leslie
_ Adkins at his home.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. S. C. McKinzie.
She possesses an amiable disposi-
tion that has drawn unto her a
universal friendship, and her
qualificatiohs in the conduct of
a home will doubtless make the
. man of her choice a happy and
contented benedict.
The groom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. P. Howard. He is
steady, honest and a hard-worker
and his friends are numerous.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard will
make their home on the McKin-
zie farm west of town as soon as
improvements can be made there,
The News, joined by the happy
couple’s good friends, extend
hearty congratulation for a long
life of happiness and prosperity.
Following is a report of Dr. E.
T. Stewart, state veterinarian,
who this week visited this sec-
tion in the interest of
stock owners who have sustained
a /siderable loss from an un-
k vn disease. In the Bayside
ct ,htry the loss has been great-
est
The News was favored in this
report by Dr. G. E. Glover, act-
ing for Dr. Carpenter as county
health officer:
Woodsboro News:
Dr. E. F. Stewart, state veter-
inarian, examined a number of
sick mules and horses in the vi-
cinity of Refugio, Woodsboro
and Bayside and held postmor-
tems on several dead animals,
and with Dr. Glover made mi-
croscopical examinations of the
blood of the animals, and deter-
mined the cause of sickness and
death due to forage poisoning
due to the growth of a fungus
on the forage.
Some of the animals that were
posted showed that they had
been strangled to death by
drenching with different medi-
cines and water, the liquids go-
ing into the lungs, so the doctor
advised that great care be used
in drenching an animal, giving
just a little at a time, and see
that they swallow that before
giving them another swallow.
tablespoonful of salts on feed,
and potassium permanganate put
in all drinking water, a teaspoon-
ful in a barrel of water. The
doctor also stated that at differ-
ent stages and forms of the dis-
ease the animals needed special
treatment for each specific case,
and advised the stockmen to en-
gage the services of a compe-
tent veterinarian when one is
available.
The symptoms of forage pois-
oning are first a dullness ro> stu-
pidity, a tendency to go sideways
when walking, later a stagger-
ing gait, falling down at times,
pushing against objects with the
head, blind staggers, and finally
the animal goes down and is un-
able to rise, usually struggling
to arise and finally becomes
comatose, followed by death.
Those that recover usually do so
in a week or ten days.
The doctor strongly urged that
the burning of the dead animals
be continued as this is certainly
the most sanitary way of dispo-
sal and may possibly prevent
some future outbreak of some
other trouble.
Dr. Stewart graduated from
the Chicago Veterinary College
in 1905 and has practiced in
Ohio, Nebraska spd Kansas, and

THE
FALL
SEASON
IS AGAIN WITH US.
The first cool winds from
the frigid north give us
warning of the near ap-
proach of old King Win-
ter. Colder weather means
Warner clothing. We
have what you need.
I
Building News.
While “nosing” around Wed-
nesday morning looking for some-
thing to say the writer happened
by the lumber yard, and to our
surprise we found Manager Peev-
Hallow’een Carnival.
One of the pleasant social
events of last week wasjthe Hal-’
low’een Carnival given at the
Boenig house last Saturday night
by the Philathea class.
It was a small pay affair from
the time a fellow arrived at the
door until he left—it was also a
“spooky” affair—as ghosts and
groans were on everv hand.
The entertainment was made
up of a “fish pond,” conducted
by Mrs. G. I. Holbrook; fortune
teller, Mrs. Stanlake impersonat-
ing a gypsy; a cat’s tail pinning
contest conducted by Mrs. Cum-
mins, who also had charge of the
apple bobbing tub; Hugh Keeling
played the “stiff” very natural-
ly; while Mrs. Horace Walker and
Miss Ray Keeling were the
“spooky” managers of the cake
stand and punch bowl. Mrs. Greg-
son kept door.
Besides realizing about seven
or eight dollars in pin money that
goes to the treasury of the class,
a royal good time was had.
Commercial Club Meeting.
At the Commercial Cliib meet-
ing Thursday night quitq a little
substantial business wajs trans-
acted, as follows: |
The material for the new Park
Born—Mr. and Mrs. F. Boehm
are entertaining a little girl. She
made her advent Tuesday of last
week, Dr. Dodson attending.
Floy Donald was up the first of
the week from Taft and moved
his family there, where he has se-
cured work in a shop.
Tom Heard, Melvin Gallia and
DeWitt Harsdorff returned Mon-
day morning from San Antonio
with a new Allen car, for which
they have taken the agency.
This is a new one in the popular
price line, selling at $860 deliver-
ed, and looks to be a dandy. The
boys say they expect to tell the
readers of the News all about it
in the next issue or so.
Travis DuBois of Houston spent
a few days of the week here with
his parents and family.
ey “as busy as a cranberry merf
chant” along about this time of
the year—he was about to sell
another good bill of lumber, and
was making an estimate for a
farm building. While he hardly
had time to talk yet he told us
business was picking up a little,
and reported the following recent
sales for building in this commun-
ity.
W. D. Tally, lumber for the
construction of a home at Bay-
side.
F. B. Rooke, lumber for the
construction of a big camp house
at his ranch.
V. G. Gallia, of Lavaca county,
a good bill for improvements on
his father’s farm near town, or
in the Boehm settlement.
August Hartman, lumber for
building a residence and other
improvements on the Hartman
farm. This new house will be
occupied by Gus Walters and
family, who will farm there next
year.
Taking it all in all, business in
the building line is picking up.
The next thing we hope to see is*
a bunch of new people coming in,
and this will occur as soon as
crops are harvested in other
places.
Mrs. J. T. Holbrook and Mrs.
Floyd Holbrook and baby are at
Sinton this week for a few days’
visit with the former’s son and
family.

work until rain, as the I ground is
so hard it would be difficult to
plow and level. In thjs connec-
tion the club has tendered the old
park fence to the Cemetery asso-
ciation for a temporar/y enclosure
around the cemetery. This is
commendable indeed, as it will
keep stock off the mounds and
make it possible to plant shrub-
bery and flowers.
Another thoughtful move was
a decision to entertain the teach*
ers one evening during the meet-
ing of the County Teachers Insti-
tute, which is scheduled for the
latter part of the month. The
place of entertainment will be
the new school building and the
following committees have been
appointed for the affair:
Program committee: Prof.
Albert Fricke, Miss Clara Rum-
mel, Miss Bessie Elder, Miss Ray
Keeling, Mrs. Dodson and Miss
Gann.
Refreshment committee: Mes-
dames McNiel, Kastenand Peev-
ey and Walter Richter.
Other matters were discussed,
but no definite action taken, af-
ter which the meeting adjourned
until the next regular meeting.
Ernest Schlabach and family,
who made their home last year
in the Tivoli country, have re-
turned here to make their home.
Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll Rooke
returned Thursday from a visit
to Mrs. Rooke’s mother. Mrs
Rector, in Austin.
Herman Frasier, Eddie Schla-
bach and Irvin Holbrook left by
car Wednesday for Beeville to
attend the Bee county fair.
Hallow’een Party.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. J.
D. Havens last Friday night was
a ‘'spooky” scene, also the scene
of a royal good time with the
young folks who attended the
Hallow’een party given by these
splendid people, with their
niece, Miss Nellie Borden, enter-
taining.
The entire house and grounds
were artistically decorated in the
“colors of the occasion,” black
bats, black cats, hob-goblins and
jack-o’lanterns, with a few white
gowned ghosts and groans scat-
tered about. All this of course,
gave a fellow a creepy feeling,
but-did not deter the guests from
having a big time.
At the appropriate hour re-
freshments were announced and
here’s where more “spooks” ap-
peared, also some dandy “eats”
and drinks, consisting of sand-
wiches, cake and fruit punch, and!
it was enjoyed, also.
The crowd in attendance would
suggest that “everybody and his
brother” was there.
Leave-taking was regretfully
had at 12, when all heartily thank-
ed their host and hostess, and
Miss Nellie, for the delightful'
evening spent.
C. P. Borden has busied him-
self with the move this week.
He aPd family are now occupying
the Toland cottage.
Prof. J. G. Toland of Alice
spent Saturday here oj^business.
One On Billy.
Billy Sunday stopped a news-
boy in Philadelphia the other day
and inquired the way to the post-
office.
“Up one block and turn to the
right,” said the boy.
“You seem a bright little fel- ,
low,” said Sunday. “Do you
know who lam?”
“Nope!”
“I’m Bill Sunday, and if you
come to my meeting tonight I’ll
show you the way to Heaven.”
“Aw, go .on!” answered the
youngster; “you don’t even know
the way to the postoffice.”—Ex.
Grandpa Michna Dead.
The many friends of the Mich-
na family, who left here recently
to make their home in Fayette
county, will regret to learn
of the death of Grandpa
Michna, father of Jim Michna,
sr., which occurred shortly af-
ter they reached their destina-
tion. He lacked a few days of
reaching his 99th birthday. The
News some time since mentioned
the fact that he had served in the
Civil war and had never in his
life fired a gun of any description.
