FAYETTEVILLE DEFEATS
COLUMBBUS
Pounding Townsend, veteran of the
“Big Show," for eleven timely hita,
the Fayetteville White Sox firmly
tightened their hold on first place in
the Colorado Valley League by trounc-
ing the Columbus Ramblers, Sunday
6 to 2. Two costly errors and a hit
allowed the Ramblers their only runs
in the initial frame, from then on
however, “Big Boy" Albers was in
complete control of the situation
throughout the game, allowing only
four hits. The game was definitely
turned for the White Sox when John
Kubena crashed a home run in the
sixth, bringing in a run ahead of him.
Sunday the locals take on Flatonia
at S.P.J.S.T. park in what promises
to be the most hotly contested game
of the season.

BACA’S BAND AND ORCHESTRA
STILL GOING STRONG
The Baca Band and Orchestra of
Fayetteville, organized in the year
1B92 by Frank Baca, Sr., is still ful-
filling the needs demanded of a good
musical organization as it has done
in the pa.it, and is being conducted at
present by a son of the organizer,
John R. Baca. The father and or-
ganizer died in the year 1907, and af-
ter his death a son, Joe Baca, became
leader. Joe Baca died in 1920, after
serving as leader for thirteen years.
It was after Joe died that the pres-
ent leader, John R. Baca, took charge
and has guided its destinies to suc-
cess.
Mention is made for the informa-
tion of the public which may have
entertained the idea that the old
ban(! has been dissolved. The band
and orchestra are still intact, fur-
nishing music for all occasions. If
those in charge of a proposed enter-
tainment, a dance or a feast desire
the services of the Baca Band and
Orchestra, or either of the two along,
they will communicate with the pres-
ent leader, John R. Baca at Fayette-
vllU.
This band, under John Baca's di-
rection, has recently filled several
very important engagements, and
has broadcasted over several radio
stations. It will continue to function
as long as the public desires either
good band or orchestra music. All
you have to do is to write to the lead-
er, who has been in charge since 1920,
and tell what you want, he will take
care of the order.
The personnel of the band, mem-
bers who are at present associated
and playing with the musical organi-
sation, are: John R. Baca, leader,
Ludwig Baca, Rudolph Baca, Laddie
Baca, Ed. Baca, Clarence Baca, An-
ton Kulhanek, Lawrence Kulhanek,
Frank Gerik, Frank Jurica, F. J.
Fojtik, Edgar Frensel.

the Lauterstein’s since the establish-
ing of that firm in business in La-
Grange, has been trapsferred to Bas-
trop, where the Lauterstein’s will
open their new branch store, Mon-

mends this young man to the people
of Bastrop, thoroughly competent in
the mercantile business and honor-
able. May the branch store prove to
be a real success; with the going of
Mr. and Mrs. George Stavinoha, also
go the good wishes of their many
friends.
Ernst Kallus, known to the trading
public of LaGrange, and for several
years connected with tbe Cole Mer-
cantile Company here, has entered
into the employ of the Lauterstein
store to fill the vacancy caused by the
removal of Mr. Stavinoha.
FOR BACCALAUREATE SERMON
Rev. R. Heise announced from the
altar last Sunday that services would
be held at the St. Paul Lutheran
church next Sunday night at 8:00;
this announcement has been rescind-
ed, there will be no services at night,
as the baccalaureate sermon is to be
delivered at the High School audi-
torium at that hour by Rev. Minter
of Austin. Communicants of the St.
Paul church and all who attend ser-
vices at that house of worship, are
advised that services will be held at
the St. Paul church at 7:30 o’clock
Sunday morning. This in recogni-
tion of the graduates, the school fa-
culty and Board of Trustees who have
ertended a general invitation to the
public to attend the sermon at the
High School auditorium, at night.

missioners: F. J. Lidiak, LaGrange;

Helmcamp, Schulenburg; W. A. John-
son, Flatonia. The commissioners at
once entered upon their labors, which

DIED LAST THURSDAY
Bohumil Pokorny, a farmer of near
'Weirflar? and a patient at the La-
Grange Hospital for ten days, died
at that institution last Thursday, at
the age of 60 years. The body was
taken to Weimar for interment.
Mr. Pokorny had been in a serious
condition for several weeks, and while
he was given every attention essen-
tial for a recovery he sank suddenly
and death relieved him.

about women in “Autograph Anne.”
