HIGH HILL
The last week the weather was
very hot, dry and sultry, which made
cotton open very fast. If it continues
some farmers will be through pick-
ing cotton in about two weeks. Small
bells are opening and the army worm
has stripped some fields. Cotton con-
tinues to go down in price; Fayette
county has made a better crop than
last year.
We notice truckloads of cotton are
being rushed to the East. This means
a great loss to railroads and to the
compress.
Aug. Heinrich is in the LaGrange
Hospital with a sore eye, which was
injured when his team ran away.
Herbert Kloesel and Miss Kate
Heinrich were married last Saturday.
We wish the young couple a happy
married life.
Ed. Kruschel and wife and little
son are located at Freyburg during
the ginning season.
We need a good rain for our pas-
tures and feed. —Dick.

The LaGrange Demons again
marched on to victory Sunday, when
they defeated the strong Halletts-
ville club at Scjiulenburg, by the score
of 4 to 1.
The Hallettsville boys were out for
victory and called upon two very
good men, the, Humphrey brothers of
Baytown, to do the pitching and
catching for them. Dick Humphries
who tried out for Houston this past
Spring, was on the mound, but
couldn’t keep the Demons from scor-
ing. He truck out 15 men and al-
lowed only 3 hits, while “Skinny”
Rosenberg, again on the mound for
the locals, pitched a wonderful game,
holding the heavy hitting Halletts-
ville club to 5 hits, and struck out 5
men.
The Demons drew first blood in the
third inning when 3 runs crossed the
plate on 2 hits, a walk, one error and
a sacrifice fly. Hallettsville scored
their lone run in the fourth inning
and could do no more.
A record crowd was out to see the

You pay more taxes in the barn lot than you do at the
court house. For your county, state, federal and other
taxes you have improved roads and other benefits of
civilized government to show for your money. For the
taxes in the barn lot you have but a total loss to show
for your negligence—for the toll you pay in the bariT
lot is what you are feeding to rats and weevil—taxes
you need not pay if you will but take the trouble to
build rat and weevil proof barns and granaries. Even
your present barns can be proofed against this tax.
Think it over.
