CHEWING
TOBACCO
Penn’s spells quality.
Why?
Because—
Penn’s is packed air-
tight in the patented
new container — the
quality is sealed in.
So Penn’s is always fresh
— an entirely new idea for
chewing tobacco.
Have you ever really
chewed froth tobacco?
Buy Penn’s the next time.
‘Try it. Notice the fine con-
dition.
And after that, use fresh
chewing tobacco — Penn’s.

PRESS ASSOCIATION GIRL
Was Happilly Married at Detroit,
Michigan Last Month
A handsomely engraved card was
received by the editor and wife Mon-
day which contained the following in-
teresting message: ' '
“The member of the Texas Press
Association announced the marriage
of Minnie Bringhurst Florea to Mr.
Carlton Smith Whittington on Mon-
day the twentieth of February, nine-
teen hundred and twenty-two in the
city of Detroit. At home after
March the fifth, 144 Clairmount
Avenue.”
Some of our readers will recall
that, when the last severe storm visit-
ed the Galveston coast county, in the
year 1015, J. C. Florea and family of
Richmond were enjoying an outing
near Surfside. The storm raged fur-
iously, destroying the shelter of this
family and claiming both mother and
father, whose bodies were never re-
covered. Minnie, then sixteen years
old floated about all night on a small
bit of wreckage, also the next day
and oarly the next night was washed
into shallow water, almost bereft of
reason and, walking waist deep in wa-
ter, reached the shore and found shel-
ter in a small home, from whence she
was taken to the Marine Hospital.
When the Texas Press Association
met in Galveston in June 1917, the
little heroine was introduced as the
orphan child of a former valued mem-
ber, and the announcement made that
the Texas Press Association had
adopted her. Miss Minnie, her eyes
dimmed by tears, expressed the plea-
sure she felt at being adpbted by the
Texes Press members. Since which
time she has always found a hearty
and loving welcome.
Her miraculous escape is but one
of those marvelous incidents of a
storm. With this thrilling experince
recorded in the past she bore her
great loss with a fortitude that was
admirable. Her happiness now, is
shared by every member of the press
association, and from everyone comes
the hearty wish that the sea of ma-
trimony will be calm, full of joy and
prosperous.

Eleven Carkzds Fat Hugs
On last Tuesday the local freight
office received fqr shipment to a
Houston paskmg concern two car-
loads of fat hogs. This brings the
total shipments of the year up to
eleven carloads, every carload having
bo<?n shipped by W. R. Boldt. The
hogs brought eifiht cents per pound.
Mr. Boldt states that hogs being
marketed now are, on the average
heavier than usual, and called atten-
tion to the fact that one farmer
brought to the shipping pens two hqgs
weighing 1282 pounds. The next
shipment will be made on March 14.
Fifty-four carload^ were shipped in
1920 and fifty last year. Indications
point to a greater number of ship-
ments for this year than were made
in 1920j—Yoi’ktown News.

Smithville School District
The Court of Civil Appeals at Aus-
tin, on Wednesday last, rendered its
decision in the case against the Inde-
pendent School District at Smithville
and affirmed the judgement rendered
in Dist. Court at Bastrop by Judge
R. J. Alexander. By this decision
the courts, thus far, recognize the
neWly created Smithville Independent
School District as such, and establish
the legality of the maintenance tax
in an amount not to exceed $1.00 on
the $100.00 valuation, which the vo-
ters of the Smithville district voted
upon themselves in the election of
September 24, when the measure’ car-
ried by a majority of 171 votes,
there being 426 votes cast for the
maintenance tax as against 255
votes against the tax. There was
some opposition to the creation of the
district and the voting of the main-
tenance tax and the matter was taken
up in the District Court of Bastrop
county, from the decision of which
the plaintiff’s jn the suit took 8n ap-
peal to the court of civil appeals. At
this writing it has not been learned
whether or not the case will be car-
ried higher, but it is hoped that liti-
gation will cease and everybody lend
a hand to make the schools of Smith-
vill, if possible, the peers of the
State.—Smithville Times.

Had Quarts of Tequila
Charges of transporting, selling
and offering for sale intoxicating li-
quor were filed here this morning by
Sheriff John N. Pace against Yfidoro
Gonzales, a Mexican, giving his home
as Rio Grande City. Gonzales ttas
arested by Sheriff Pace and Deputy
Sheriffs JT. J. Haynes, Rex Cabanis
and Lee Wofford, at a S. A. & A. P.
section house in Yorktown Monday
afternoon. In his possession was
found nineteen quarts of the finest
brand tequila. The liquor was hidden
in two gunny sacks well filled with
straw when located by the officers.
Business had evidently been good
with Gonzales as a purse taken from
his person contained $148 in currency
and silver. The prisoner was brought
’to Cuero and placed in the DeWitt
county jail. At an examining trial
this morning bond was fled at $600
in each case. He was reihanded to
jail when he failed to make the re-
quired bond. Arrests for prohibition
law violations are becoming fewer
and fewer in DeWitt county. This is
not because local officers are less

MENKING-ECK NUPTIALS
A wedding of interest in our little
city was soleminized Sunday after-
noon at 4:30 o’clock at the Methodist
church, when Miss Edna Eck and
Leslie F. Menking were united in
marriage; Rev. Wiseman officiating.
The double ring ceremony was used.
The church was artistically decorated
with ferns. Before the bridal party
entered, Miss Carlton sang “Lohen-
grin,” with Miss Jeannette C. Alex-
ander accompanying as organist. Miss
Lottie Moore played the wedding
march as the party entered.
The bride entered with her father,
who gave her in marriage. She look-
ed especially attractive in her navy
blue tricotine suit, with which was
worn a hat of cire ribbon and other
accessories to match. She carried
a magnificiant bouquet of white bri-
dal roses and carnations, intermingled
with fern and ribbon.
Miss Lillian, the sister of the bride,
acted as maid of honor. She was
clothed in a peacock blue taffeta dress,
which was very beautiful, and car-
ried a gorgeous bouquet of pink car-
nations,
Edward A. Lobenstein of Galveston
served as best man. The ushers were
Gilbert and Hubert Eck, brothers of
the bride. Immediately after the
ceremony the couple was escorted to
the station where a shower of rice
accompanied their departure.
The bride is the pretty and accom-
plished daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Eck of the old Cedar section,
and has many friends here. The
bridegroom is a son of our flotorial
representative, Otto Menking, of Haw
Creek, at present employed at Galves-
ton, where the happy young couple
wiir reside. A FRIEND.
