Just a Few Points About
The VELIE Car
The VELIE Car can be handled with real
ease and in comfort by women drivers.
The tonneau light serves as an inspection
lamp, being attached to a reel and long cord
that permits its donble use.
The design of the new VELIE motor was en-
trusted to an automotive engineer of national
reputation and outstanding achievement.
The VELIE Car wiring is run through con-
duits as a protection against mud and water to
prevent rubbing, breakage of insulation and the
consequent short circuits.
In a VELIE Car you have all the best qua-
lities of motor cars, with just a little more added.

QUIET HOME WEDDING
SPLENDID SINGERS ENTERTAIN
AN APPRECIATIVE
AUDIENCE
“The Four Embers” quartet of male
singers filled their engagement at the
Community Club nuditoriam last Fri-
day night, rendering a program that
pleased a very large audience, many
of whom were critics of musical
knowledge. Good singers ever find
a welcome and an appreciative aud-
ience when they render a program in
LaGrange, the Embers not mention-
ed as an exception.
The entire program, together with
the witticism of the basso found a
responsive chord deep in the hearts
and minds of the audience. Musical
programs, with too much similarity
usually provoke a tiresome feeling, in
this the Embers proved a great ex-
ception, they were heartily applauded
for each number rendered.
Miss Chandler, the piano accompan-
ist, offered a select reading, entertain-
ing her hearers with a Southern neg-
ro story, in which Bhe demonstrated a
most unusual grift, that of charac-
terising her story in such manner that
her audience eliminated the act and • ments to send the Trades Day in
imagined the scene. Her dialect was town, and have their families take
Sunday afternoon at one o’clock, at
the home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Theo. Krofl, sr., Rev. R.
Heisc united in the holy bonds of mat-
rimony their daughter, Miss Julia,
and Harry Oeding. Relatives of the
contracting parties only witnessed the
ceremony. Immediately after the
ceremony the young couple left for
Scliulenburg and there boarded the
Southern Pacific train for San An-
tonio to spend their honeymoon. Upon
their return to LaGrange they will
make their home with the parents of
the bride.
This union of two of our popular
young people is the culmination of a
very happy courtship which, we pre-
dict, will mean a long, useful and
happy married life. The friends of
the couple are practically all who
who know them, being popular with
our entire citizenship. The wishes
that we have to offer embody every-
thing that could bring them happi-
ness.

PAINTER INJURED* BY FALL
Gus. Burkhardt of Round Top, while
engaged in painting the roof of the
Otto Wendlandt home, suffered a
smash down when the ladder upon
which he was standing suddenly took
the toboggan slide down the roof.
The painter, the paint and the ladder
made a try to see who would reach
the ground first.
Gus. escaped the injuries of broken
bones, but the sudden jolt experienced
when he landed on his feet upon the
ground caused a terrific shake-up and
a sprained ankle, from which he is
still suffering.

Louis Bollmeyer, who recently sold

While seized with an attack of
coughing Saturday of the past week
J. T. Holman ruptured a small blood
vessel in the right eye. Husky and
toughened by outdoor life, Mr. Hol-
man passed the injury with a slight
shrug of the shoulder until the pain
demanded attention. He is now car
rying the proper bandage over the
optic, and while still nursing the
pain, is endeavoring to answer the ma-

as county attorney the first of the
month, and seems to right on the job.
He secured two convictions and sev-

reading the court proceedings. We
might be pardoned for saying that
F. J. Kallus is the right man for the

Our young friend Gussie Bal-
zer seems to have struck a streak
of bad luck. Several weeks ago
we had an article telling of him
breaking an arm. This had
mended nicely. The past week
he accidently burned his hand
with a cigar. He did not look
for any trouble from this, but
the fact is this burn developed a
bad case of blood poison, and he
is now carrying his arm in a
sling again.—Sticker.
;o:
On last Tuesday morning morn-
ing, about ten o’clock, Obie Han-
non, colored, twelve years old,
was riding on a horse when the
horse became frightened at a
cow and begun running. The
boy lost control of the horse and
attempted to jump off, and In
some manner hung his foot in a
rope that was on the horse's neck
and the horse dragged the boy
four or five hundred yards, and
his leg hung in some net wire
and on a fence post and he was
jerked loose from the horse, but
was unconscious when reached
by help. Mr. and Mrs. Will Wal-
ker, seeing and hearing the cries
for help by a colored man stand-
ing near by, ran to the scene and
put the boy in their car, and
brought him to town. But he
died a short time later, and never
regained consciousness after be-
ing found. Most every bone in his
body was broken.—Eagle Lake

Fire of mysterious origin on
Satuday morning about four
o’clock consumed the entire cot-
tage and contents belonging to
the C. B. Hyde and family of
Smithville. Mr. Hyde, who is a
road contractor, has been on some
road work at Rosebud and was
not at home. Mrs. Hyde and the
two children were asleep at home
and the former was aroused by a
strangling sensation due to the
heavy smoke in the room. She
had barely time to rouse the chil-
dren and rush them from the
burning home. A neighbor had
noticed what at first seemed a
bright light in one of the rooms,
but in a short time realized the
building was afire and turned in
the alarm. The fire department
deserves credit for the speed with
which the alarm was answered,
however, the fire had gained such
headway that nothing could be
saved. —Smithville Times.

Another of the numerous ma-
gazine swindlers with which
Brenham has been afflicted at
various times has been in the
city for the past few days, but
didn’t have such good luck as
some of his predecessors. A young
man, wearing an army uniform,
appeared in the city recently and
had been doing a thriving bus-
iness, selling a cheap magazine
at 25 cents. He put up a good
line of talk, declaring he was sel-
ling the book for the benefit of
ex-soldiers, and he really got 25
cents from practically everybody
he approached. Being suspicious
of the man Mayor Hacker called
on him to produce his credentials,
which he was unable to do. The
American Legion and other pa-
triotic organizations disclaimed
all knowledge of him or his ac-
tivities, and it was clearly shown
that he was a fraud, attempting
to get money for his own use un-
der the guise of a patriotic under-
taking. When it was found that
he was a swindler he was com-
pelled to return all the money he
had gotten in Brenham. Young
men or women selling magazines
should be carefully investigated
as there are many frauds of that
character working in this part of
the country.—Brenham Banner.
In addition to all kinds at- sand-
wiches, salads and cakes, coffee and
chocolate will be served at the Trades
Day lunch by the Mothers’ Club, Jan-
uary 23, at the old Scholz corner

LAGRANGE, TEXAS
THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR
AN EGYPTIAN FORTUNE TELLER
TO VISIT LAGRANGE
Several weeks since Madam Zella,
a gifted clairvoyant who was travel-
ing with Manvillfe Bros. Comedians,
made some very- interesting prophec-
ies for LaGrange and pther points,
while the company gave nightly ex-
hibitions in LaGrange. Some were in-
clined to ridicule Hfer prophecies until
one evening when she answered an
inquiry from one in the audience who
wanted to lyiow about a relative. Her
prompt response was not only satis-
factory, but shewed that she was
right in her reply and that the relative
was alive and lived in another coun-
try. Madam Zella also predicted a
building boom for LaGrange; evi-
dence of that prophecy is plentiful.
The Journal merely mentions this
as a preface to the announcement
that LaGrange is to be visited this
week, tomorrow, by an Egyptian for-
tune teller who has been asked to
give the people of our little city an
opportunity to profit by her wonder-
ful gift. The information is ours that
she will visit the school building
on tomorrow, Friday night. Her ap
pearance in LaGrange will create
some interest, and she will very likely
have a good audience, which we sin-
cerely hope. No admission will be
charged, the entire public of La-
Grange can come and hear what she
has to tell.
Owing to the doubt encouraged by
many, and the further fact that for-
tune telling has little encouragement
from many, the people are apt to pass
this announcement without further
thought. We hope to be in error in
this, however, and that the traveling
Gypsy will be greeted with a large
and appreciative audience.

board fence removed from his prop-
erty on North Washington street, and

ry trees removed and given the prop-
erty a general renovation.

cess have left the arrangements to

of interesting things told, and an
