pirn tockett Crushed Beneath a Heavy
Stick of Timber at the Furniture
Factory.
Tom Lockett, son of Mr. C. C.
Lockett, met with a serious ac
cident at the furniture factory
Tuesday morning, as a result of
which 5ie will be a cripple for
many weary weeks. He was
assisting in unloading some
heavy timbers from a flat car.
In some manner the end of the
Ipg at which he was working
suddenly rolled down on him,
striking him just above the right
Jniee, and knocking him down,
fell across his leg. An immense
bruise marks the place where the
ponderous log struck, and it is
feared the muscles of the limb
may be permanently injured.
Ihr. W. A. Lockett dressed the
-wound, and gave it as his opinion
that no bones were broken.

Some people wonder at the Busy, hustling
look of things in our store.'
No mystery about it. It's simply buying
what people want, and selling it for less than
they expect to pay. This is what has built
this business to its present large proportions;
The best of its kind is none too good for
our patrons.

Anniversary Entertainment.
There are scenes to which with
lineerinj? fondness the heart
turns to refresh itself. Tuesday
evening represented such a scene
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
S. Epstein. The occasion was
one of a dual nature, commemor-"
ating as it did the third anni
versary of the order's existence,
and being also a complimentary
gathering in honor of the Lady
Lieutenant Commander, Mrs.
W. T. Ball, who will shortly
cease to be an active member by
reason of her contemplated re
moval to Purell, I. T.
BrenhamHive No. 17, L. O.
T. M., was organized in Novem
ber, 1894, by Miss Annie L. Car
ton, of Detroit, Michigan, and as
its enumeration indicates, is the
pioneer organization of the Lone
Star Commonwealth. It is com
monly supposed that a secret
organization with a distinctively
feminine membership cannot ex
ist for any great length of time,
but in the light of this three
years record it must be admitted
that such a proposition is not
only erroneous but also absurd.
The organization has from
time to time temporarily dis
carded the rigor of it3 seclusion
and laid aside the mystery of its
secrets sufficiently for the gen
eral public to get glimpses of its
precepts, principles and purposes,
and to be convinced that as an
organization it oucht to h en
couraged and perpetuated.
The evening was devoted to
vocal and instrumental rrmsin.
recitations. refreshmftnrQ nnA
conversation, and despite the
frowns of old Juniter PhivinQ fho
attendance represented nearly
the entire membership of the
organization.
Of course it was a musical
company, and the music it goes
without saying was such as an
artist would deem a- rare treat.
Mrs. L. M. Simon's ""When the
Heart is Young" and Mrs. Ep
stein's "Birds in Springtime"
and "Bobolink" were heart
ily enjoyed. Both singers
have joyful rippling voices
which manifest wonderful h.inri..
ling and evidence the skill with
which they have been trained.
Miss Julia Epstein, in her ren
dition of "Tommy's Little Star,"
maae oy far tne happiest hit of
a most happy evening.
Rev. M.J. Allen, a Metho
dist minister of Llano countv-
has been adjudged 'insane.
