the school for another year,
have increased the grades
which will also be something to feel
proud about.
Wednesday night, the senior class
presented the comedy entitled ‘‘The
road to the city” and, we will have
to be fair and state that they did
their work nicely, indeed. All of
the students were well up in their
parts, and they did not permit the
play to be in any way interrupted by
pauses and forgetfulness. The au-
dience was amused from the rise of
the curtain in the first act, until the
last act was completed. It was con-
clusively shown that we have some
good talent among our young people,
and at no time did they show to bet-
ter advantage than on last Wednes-
day night. The attendance was very
large.
Thursday night the operetta, “The
Sweet Briar Rose” was presented.
The immense audience, every avail-
able space in the building, the court-
house, was taken and outside the
visitors lined up so that they could
get a view through the door and also
through the windows, were enrap-
tured, and they applauded vigorously
the efforts of the school children in
this rendition. The representations
were:
Sweet Briar Rose............Evelyn Moore
Carnation .................. Anna Rosenhein
Geranium ............ Anna Mae Willard
Larkspur ................ Mary Louise Hart
Poppy ,.............................. Olivia Bohot
Iris ............................ Lavonia Goodale
And we examples the life of Lincoln, the pa-
to ten, | triotism of Travis, Bowie, Fannin,
Houston and other Texas heroes, and
particularly mentioned the fact that
these Texas patriots had bled and
fought for the freedom of the state,
and for their right to have schools.
“In every walk of life” said the
speaker, “the man who does not pos-
sess an education, is handicapped.
The commercial world, the manufac-
turing industries, the railroads and
other transportation lines, ever look
to the employee wHo has the school
training and the knowledge of good
business management. We find in the
structural works, th.e men who care-
fully plan a good foundation, a loun-
dation that will not only bear the
weight of the building, but one that
•will withstand the ravages of time.
Men do not build upon sandstone, but
upon steel and concrete. So it is with
the child. Early in life he or she
receives instructions in the art of
letters, the child learn§ to read, to
write, to spell, and then, step by step
the little student advances until he
or she reaches the hill top you are
now standing upon. Upon this hill
top the plateau begins, and with that
firm foundation you have built under
the tutelage of some good teacher,
you are armed with a weapon that
will furrow through the tasks and
trials of the future until your foot
rests upon the last rung.” The speak-
er also gave a review of some of the
Texas history, incidents not found in
the school books, and asked that the

If. a bank’s conception of service is td do just enough for its

The dresses of the children repre-
sented the flower and bird, made of
colored crepe paper. They were
“cute” indeed, and as they marched
about the stage they presented a most
lovely and fascinating scene.
Friday evening, shortly after eight
o’clock, the commencement exercises
of the grammar school were held.
Before the appointed hour for the
exercises to begin the hall was al-
most filled. The graduates, who were
Ida Mae Willard, Katie Froelich,
Martin Kraatz, Leon Reinsch, Olivia
Bohot, Evelyn Moore, Hattie Brown,
and the post graduates, Lois Hart,
Jewell Hubbard, Marguerite Moore,
occupied the front row on the stage,
and immediately began the program
upon the raising of the curtain. Ida
Mae Willard, as salutatorian, read a
very interesting paper; the history of
the class was ably handled by Katie
Froelich. Martin Kraatz, as class
doctor, prescribed ably and enlisted
the applause of the large audience.
Cla3s prophecy by Olivia Bohot was
good. Miss Bohot, in addition to re-
ceiving her certificate of promotion
to the eighth grade, was also award-
ed a certificate of honor, having made
an excellent record in school, having
never been tardy, and having been in
attendance upon school each day dur-
ing the entire session. The valedic-
tory by Evelyn Moore was clearly
spoken and very interesting. This
was followed by one of the seniors,
the soil of Texas with their blood,
appeal to the graduates and make
them feel all the more happy that
they were Texans, and by reason of
being Texans, they were citizens of
America, of the United States.
Our county superintendent, Mr.
Rachui, also occupying a seat upon
the rostrum, was introduced by Pro-
fessor Moore, and for several mom-
ents spoke upon school matters. He
expressed his pleasure at being in at-
tendance upon the exercises, and
greatly complimented the graduates
and post graduates. Supt. Rachui
compared our schools with those of
our neighbor, Mexico, and gave it as
his opinion that if education was
more universally distributed in that
country the troubles over there would
cease. He cited incidents of the
school room, the tasks of the teacher
and the valuable assistance the pa-
trons and parents would be to the j
teachers if they would take more ac-
tive interest and help the school by
visitations and suggestions. He
briefly addressed the graduates and
predicted for them a bright future,
if they would determine to continue
up the ladder until they had reached
the last rung. In his concluding re-
marks he embodied a timely humor-
ous story of three immigrants who
tried to learn our language without
understanding its meaning and closed
amid applause of the audience.
Prof. Moore presented the certi-
ficates of promotion to the graduates,
embodying in his remarks his sincere
good wishes for their future success
in the schools.

work, a better account.
The news came to the Journal
Tuesday morning that Hy. Nocke-
mann, a teacher for fifty-one years,
had died at the home of his relatives,
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Dahse, near Wei-
mar on Monday morning, early, rath-
er suddenly. Mr. Nockemann had
given evidence of failing health, and
had also stated, when his school
closed at High Hill recently that he
would not teach -again.
Prof. Nockemann was a very unique
and interesting character. He was
for what was good in life, and be-
lieved in the golden rule, to do unto
others as you would have them treat
you. And in practicing that rule, he
was found at all times willing to ex-
tend a hand of charity to those who
would perhaps differ with him and his
practices and lay claim to better
judgment in the matters of justice to
all citizenship. He was universally
liked and a familiar figure at the
county institute of Fayette county
for a good many years. His repeated
election as teacher of the High Hill
school is to be considered as a tri-
bute to his worth and the respect the
people bore him.
Mr. Nockemann was past seventy-
eight years of age. Considering that
he had given fifty-one years of his
life to the instruction of children, and
had made good, ever retaining his
certificate and practice of efficiency,
we can conscientiously place this
wreath upon his bier, just as we did
upon his desk, when life was still his
and his,cheerful voice added encour-
agement in our efforts to bear against
adversity.
May he rest in peace.
INSTRUCTED TO ADVERTISE
FOR BIDS
The county judge was instructed to
advertise for bids for the construc-
tion of the new Colorado river bridge,
last Friday and the bids have .been
sent out to various papers, where the
contractors will find something to bid
upon.
The contractor, offering his bid, will
have to file a certified check to the
amount of $12,500. This is a little
bit of money and will attract some of
the big builders. Bids will be opened
on June 27.
This conveys some of the news to
the many inquiries about the pro-
posed new river bridge. Until June
27, we will be waiting very patiently.
J. L. Munke of the Bluff communi-
ty was a business visitor in our city
Friday.
ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE
The news came to us Wednesday
morning that another unfortunate
had died near Carmine Tuesday af-
ternoon, as the result of her own ef-
forts. Full particulars are not given.
Mrs. Willie Schoenst was found
hanging at the end of a rope that had
been fastened in the room above. It
is believed that after tying the roDe
about her neck, she jumped out of the
window and that thijs was done in
the early afternoon. The body was
not discovered, however, until about
five o’clock,‘and the inquest held an
hour later.
DOESN’T LIKE GOLF '
While at the San Marcos fair
grounds Sunday afternoon, making
notes, Mayor Robson’B attention was
attracted to the golfers; he became so
fascinated with the flying golf ball
as to be unable to get out of its path.
He was struck a terrific blow on the
right shin bone and fell to the ground,
however with a smile. The ball
passed immediately to the rear of the
| editor and struck the mayor with a
i thud that almost sounded wooden.
Emergency remedies were later ap-
plied so that the mayor could walk
without limping. The mayor says he
does not like golf at all.

ers for the Gonzales County Fairs,
met with our delegation and took
them out to the fair grounds, and
explained every building, its location,
and its cost to the association. The
same reception wss tendered at San
Marcos and at New Braunfels. Our
secretary had notified the secretaries
of these fair associations and the
directors reached their destinations al
the appointed hours. After examin-
ing the New Braunfels grounds,
threatening weather prompted the
suggestion to reach Seguin before
night and quarter there, and visit the
fair grounds the next morning. And
it all worked out nicely.
Gonzales has built its fair, with an
eye td the future. They are ideally
located, the buildings are large and
very substantial and will meet the
requirements for a goodly number of
years. They have excellent backing,
and the citizens believe that a fair
is a good thing for the town and are
accordingly doing their part. This
also applies to New Braunfels and
Seguin. San Marcos has good
grounds, but the work of running the
fair is left in the hands of only a few
workeis, and these are overworked.
They have, however, a good future
before them.
New Braunfels, the home of the
famous Lands Park, also has nice
grounds, and the best race track in-
spected in the four towns. New
Braunfels has secured good co-opera-
tion and is erecting a new building
this year. Seguin, dubbed “the daddy
of them all” has everything in ex-
cellent shape, is making money an-
nually, but is handicapped on account
of drainage. At Seguin the visitors
met up with B. F. Moore, a La-
Grange product who left here some
twenty-eight years ago. He was de-
lighted to see the visitors, and ex-
tended many courtesies.
In visiting these various fair
grounds the visitors were given an
opportunity to determine their first
move and to also learn the advantage
of a location. With the exception of
New Braunfels, there is a shortage
of shade on the fair grounds, and
tree planting has been the order of
the day. It will be several years be-*
fore these grounds will have the
necessary shade. This will be, in a
measure overcome at LaGrange, as
shade is easily obtained on the sites
offered.
The visitors were also given an
opportunity to profit by the experi-
ence of the managers of the other
fairs whose grounds they visitefi.
Careful notes and drawings were
made, the distances between build-
ings, entrances and exits and the lo-
cations of the buildings on the
grounds, as well as the amusements
were noted. The report will be made
in full to the other directors at their
next meeting, and then the board of
directors wul again visit the sites
offered and determine, at a meeting
to follow, which will be the best
suited.
SEVERE JOLT
Engineer E. L. Clark and Fireman
R. R- Foitek, on the LaGrange branch
of the Southern Pacific had a severe
jolt administered to them last Wed-
nesday evening, as they were running
their engine into the roundhouse at
Glidden. When within a short dis-
tance of the roundhouse, another en-
gine crashed into them from the rear.
This latter engine was also en route
to the roundhouse. Both Clark and
Foitek were thrown from their posi-
tions, and were severely jolted. Al-
though no internal injures have de-
veloped, the two have been enjoying
a temporary lay-off, getting them-
selves back into shape to resume their
