The second meeting of the young
men of Winchester, who are arrang-
ing to present a program of min-
strelsy, was held last week and the
required number, eighteen members,
was, secured. Everything is now in
apple-pie order and rehearsals will
begin at once. We mention this, that
eighteen of our young men will en-
tertain you real soon, all bla*ck-faced
and offering new jokes and songs. We
understand that after presenting
their program here, they will visit
the neighboring towns and present
their program for the benefit of the
schools.
Weather permitting, the members
of the methodist church will hold
their quarterly conference at the
church house; the presiding elder will
be In attendance and will deliver two
good sermons, one in the morning
and the other at night. The ladies
will be there with well-filled baskets
of good eats, and all will enjoy a din-
ner at the church grounds. The meet-
ing will be held on the fourth Sunday
in March, which will be March 29.
Milton, eight-year-old aon of Mr.
and Mrs. J. R. Stueber, swallowed a
copper penny Saturday evening and
was rushed to the doctor. No evil ef-
fects, however, followed. The usual
method of giving a good laxative re-
lieved the child of the foreign food.
Winchester was visited last week
by a Mr. Hennessey, whb has a large
body of timber land leased; he was
here to engage truck drivers to de-
liver the logs from the timber land
near Winchester to town, and then
ship them to Houston. He will begin
as soon as weather conditions per-
mit, and will engage a large number
of men' to do the work in the pinery.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
Hart, their daughter Nellie celebrat-
ed her natal day anniversary, having
many guests present who remem-
bered her with presents and wished
for her many happy returns of the
day. The serving was a good supper
with ice-cream and cake, later.
The writer asks pardon of his
friends for the omission in our last
budget, we should have stated that
John Reinhardt and his two daugh-
ters were over at Giddings, Sunday
to attend church services and later
visited with their relatives, Mr. and
Mrs. Alvin Durk and family.
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Rosenhain and
daughters Misses Gussie and Anna,
and E. Zilss spent Thursday evening
with their friends Mrs. W. L- Rives
and Mis* Betty Croft at the Croft)
home near Winchester. Mip, Zilss
piayed some good violin music, ac,
companied by Mrs. Rosenhain and
Miss Croft, on the piano and guitar.
Cake and hot chocolate was served
and all spent a very enjoyable even-
ing.
Winchester school boys were over
at LaGrange last Saturday to play
two games of base ball, their oppon-
ents being the teaips from Carmine
and West Point schools. We learn
that the Winchester team was badly
defeated in both games. The Win-
chester volley ball girls played at
LaGrange the same day with the
girls from Carmine and Elm Grove
schools; our girls won one of the
games and lost one. That is, better
than the boys did.
Winchester is without Doctor Page,
he left for Cistern Sunday and will
practice his profession there. Mrs.
Page will remain in Winchester.
Thus our town is again without a
doctor.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Bush, the natal day anniversary of
Mr. Bush was celebrated last Wed-
nesday night. Those present enjoyed
ar excellent supper, which Mrs. Bush
knows so well how to prepare.
Mr. and Mrs. F. Reinsch received
the sad intelligence last Thursday
from Frank Stasny, that Chao.
Groeschel was seriously ill, and was
not expected to live. They left at
once for Houston. We learn that Mr.
Gioaschel passed away on Saturday.

CUR RADIO STAR
who have a radio and those who
could get to where there was one—
listened in. The broadcast came in
clear and was heard by many. The
following selections were rendered
by Miss Hart:
“Dream Train”; “Loveless Love”;
“Moonlight on the Colorado”; “When
You and I Were Young, Maggie”;
“Caitr Me Back to Old Virginny”;
“Believe Me, if all Those Enduring
Young Charms”; “When Your Hair
Has Turned to Silver”; “Till We
Meet Again"; “Betty Co-ed”; “Just
a Gigolo”; “Three Little Worda”t
“I'll Be Blue, Just Thinking of You”.
Of course we are all proud of
our young lady singer and also are
proud that she should have been
called upon to broadcast from Hous-
ton. A telegram was sent from here
to the station ahd good wishes ex-
tended by Miss Hart’s friends.
A NEW AUTOMOBILE
R. Haschke left for Austin last
Sunday where.he will purchase a new
kind of automobile, one that is dif-
ferent from the many makes on the
market, and is shipped from Wash-
ington and was designed by Captain
James V. Martin of aeroplane fame.
For this car he is to pay $200; this
will of course be a revelation, and
folks here are anxious to see what
it looks like.
The auto is said to weigh 600
pounds; it is a 2-passenger coupe,
with steel disc wheels and standard
tires. The interesting feature is that
there are no axles, as the wheels are
supported on brackets integral with
body; no chassis and no body springs;
aviation cord suspension takes up all
road shock. No lubricating system;
all bearings and moving parts (ex-
cept engine) sufficiently packed in
grease at the factory.
This car will attract much atten-
tion, and we are all anxious to see
what it looks like.
FORMERLY LIVED HERE
Chas. Groeschel of Houston, who
c’idd in that city last Saturday, was
formerly a citizen of Winchester, the
family having lived here for a num-
ber of yearn, and to their many

expressions of sorrow. The funeral
was to be held on Wednesday of this
Week, at Houston.
Deceased was 70 years old at the
time of his death; he is survived by
hig widow and one daughter .Agnes,
and ^f^ee ifons; these are: Fred of
Houston, 'Rev. Albert of Texieo, New
.Mexico, and Mdrtin of Zimmermann,
Minnesota.
This writer offers his sincere sym-
pathy to the bereaved family.
