Little Locals , -
John Schuhmacher started his ice
blhnt to running this week.
Sheriff B. L. Zapp and Deputy
George T. Carter conveyed three un-
fortunates, two men and one wonjan,
to the Terrell asylum, last week.
The Journal has been informed
that the surveying corps of the San
Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway
were this side of Schulenburg the
first of the week, heading in this di-
rection.
There was a grand masque ball at
Turner Hall at Schulenburg last Sat-
urday night. LaGrange was repre-
sented by Misses Bettie Schuhma-
cher, Bozina Mosig, Johanna Pauli,
Dora and Augusta Willenberg, and
Messrs Leo Frede and Richard Mo-
sig. Leo says that the ball was a big
success and everybody had “bushels
of fun.”
Joseph Schimke died at the fester
House last week. Deceased had been
afflicted with that fell destroyer,
consumption, for about six months
prior to his death. He came, to La-
Grange in the spring of 1886 from
Flatonia. The funeral was largely
attended, and was conducted by the
LaGrange Lodge No. 565, K. of H.;
the LaGrange brass band, of which
he was a member, turned out in full
strength for the occasion, and the
Fayette Light Guard in full uniform
attended in a body, as a' compliment
to the members of the band, who
kindly volunteered to furnish the
WASHINGTON’^ BIRTHDAY
been the order of the day, cornmem- *n LaGrange, guests at the home of
orating the 200th 'anniversary of the
birth of George Washington, in terse
terms, “the father of his country.”
As an inspiration to the youth of the
land the efforts of the Bi-Centennial
organisation have adopted a com-
mendable instruction. In every ham-
let where a school exists, in every
town where a church exists, and
where there is a spark of patriotism,
there has been, since Sunday, both
services and school exercises, as well
as out-door tree planting programs
and the trees named after the great
general who, with his tattered army
overthrew the power of King George
and relieved the colonists of an op-
pression that had threatened their
existence.
Here in LaGrange, last Sunday,
services were held at the St. Paul
Lutheran church, with a large con-
gregation present. The school or-
chestra, under the leadership of Prof.
Paul Cohn rendered two selections,
the choir sang one song and the con-
gregation sang “America.” Revl
Heise spoke interestingly and enter-
tainingly on the life of George Wash-
ington and blended his text with the
ennobling attributes of the first
president, dwelling especially upon
the unswerving faith of George
Washington in his God. Near to the
altar, on a easel, with the flags of
the nation partly draping the fea-
tures, stood a life-sized portrait of
George Washington; to the left of

Crowded Auditorium Greeted
Legion Program
The promise given in our last is'
sue by the members of the H. J.'
Ehlers Post, American Legion, to en-
tertain the public at their hall on
Monday night, was fulfilled, and met
with the hearty approval of the
large assembly. All seats were oc-
cupied, and many were compelled to
stand, but in the enjoyment of the
evening’s program, offered no objec-
tion to having to stand. It was a
splendid prpgram, and enlivened in
the minds of all the importance of the
event. If every Legion Post “pulls
off” as good a show as our boys have
done, the memory of George Wash-
ington will not lag in the minds of a
patriotic citizen.
Legionnaire D. M. Phillips was
master of ceremonies, and in his
usual happy manner, made the audi-
ence feel their welcome. Members of
the LaGrange Lion's Club and both
the Odd Fellows lodge and the auxil-
iary, Rebekahs, attended in a body,
Chaplain Evans offered the invoca-
tion after the School Orchestra, un-
der the direction of Prof. Paul Cohn,
rendered a very interesting selection.
This was followed by the singing of
“America” by the assembly, lead by
Geo. E. Lenert. “Legionnaires”-*-
which was written, and the musio
composed by Past Department Chap-
lain, Father Dan Lanning of Bee-
vine—was also rendered.
Community singing for the even-
ing was under the direction of Mr.
Lenert, president of ' the LaGrange
Lions’ Club. Mr. Lenert also gave a
short narrative of each of the folk
songs which was enjoyed, as it helped
to create the inspiration necessary
and caused the singers to give Voice
promptly. Good as he always Is in
this feature of a program, he- ap-
pekred better than ever last Monday
night.
The principal speaker was Father
Lanning, who is an eloquent speaker
Mr. and Mrs. V. G. Sladczyk.

daughter Virginia, were business
visitors at San Antonio, leaving here

City for the week.
Mr. and Mrs. Guo. Gloeckner of

FIRE DESTROYS TEACHER’S
COTTAGE AT HIGH HILL
and he held his hearers throughout.
Me explained to the audi
American Legion was carrying the
principles of George Washington*
and why GeoTge Washington would
be a banner bearer of the Legion'
were he among us today. With that
ease and grace that holds, Father
Lanning delivered his masterful ad-
dress.
Another selection by the School
Orchestra followed. We conclude our
comment with the statement, as a
suggestion, that the H. J. Ehlerq
Post, American Legion put, on an-
other program, this is the second
time .within a few weeks that it has
scored.

the nation’s first president, beginning
with his childhood days and ending
with his advanced age. .Interspersed

some affect. Try and be at the school

The Journal is advised that the
teacher's cottage at High Hill was
destroyed by fire early Tuesday night.
Our Informant states that no one
was in the home at the'time, Weatine
Schulze, teacher at High Hill, and
who lived in the cottage, was at the
home of one of the school patrons,
conducting a night school. No fire in
the strove, nothing left in the home
to cause a flame, leaves the origin of
the blase a mystery.
The entire home was burned to the
ground, together with the furniture
and wearing apparel of Mr. Schulse.
Insurance will partly cover the lose
of building.
