: In Memory of Verna

Many happy hours we've spent to-
gether,
But the voice so dear has been stiIled,
There is no one that could take her
place,
The vacant chair can ne'er be filled +;
The precious life has ceased its song,
The night has fed, the Star is gone,
She has passed to eternal day,
And like the dove, she has flown away.
One of her many Friends.

George S. Grass for County Treasurer
It is with no small degree of pleas
ure that we make the foregoing an
nouncement.
George Grass has been a resident
of this city since his boyhood, and a
successful and energetic grocery
merchant since his early manhood.
George married native born Hays
City girl, the result of which is a
homegrown" family of four child
ren-three young business men and
daughter, now a teacher in the
Mitchell County schools. During his
residence in our city of more than
forty years, he has been home build
er, a taxpayer, and as an active bust
ness man, his shoulder has always
been at the wheeI-for the betterment
of our city and county, thereby win
ming for himself the esteem and con-
fidence of our people.
Mr.. Grass has recently turned his
well appointed and long established
grocery store over to his sons as his
successors and will now enjoy much
deserved rest and relaxation from
business for few months. In saying
that he is the possesor of every quail
ifcation, fitting him for a capable,
efficient and obliging County Treas
urer, we but express the sentiment of
our people, without regard to party;
hence we are for him.

HOSPITAL Campaign
Inauguratcs Movement for Insti-
tuition. for Benefit Of New
York Patrolmen.

New York, July 13.--To build a
3O0-bed hospital exclusively for the
use of policemen, their families and
dependents is the object Of campaign
soon to be inauguratcd by a group Of thirty
three prominent men headed by General
T. Coleman du Pont, special deputy
police commissioner.
General du Pont yesterday gave out a
statement showing the necessity for
the proposed institution.
About S5,OOO,0O0 will be needed nc
cording TO General du Points state
ment, which said in part:
"The city provides no special sick
care for the police beyond the excellent,
but limited, service Of the police surgeons
in their inspection and care of men when
entering the force and while on duty
The city hospitals have no ward or rooms
reserved for such purpose.
1t a policeman is taken i'll or wounded
while on duty and carried to hospital
he gets oniy such care as he is able to
pay for.
THE pay Of these men, especially
those in the lower ranks, is not sufficient
TO warrant the employment of nurses or

Manager Danny Gandolfi Gets First Gail
on Scrappy Shortstop if Pelicans Will
Let Him Go After Choosing Regular
Pelican Team.
Says the Lafayette Gazette /:

Says the Lafayette Gazette:
Not only will the Hubs 1919 captain,
Danny Gandolfi be fighting them the
coming season in the State league, but
another local favorite, Buddy Rezza, prob
ably will be member of ssthe enemy
the New iberia team in this instance.
News comes from New Iberia that Buddy
has beer conditionally signed by Mar
ager Gandolf and if the Pels can spare
him promise has been given Gandolfi that
New Iberia will get him.
Perrin, nearly as tall as the Eiffel
Tower and with reach like a telegraph
pole, will hold down first base for the
Iberians. Not only is he a classy ball
player, but he also can fight, having wcn
the heavyweight championship of Uncle
Sans navy during the war
Gandolf reported at New Iberia last
Wednesday and began assembling his
players 1T is not his purpose to stage
any expensive training stunts as most Of
his players were in the game during the
winter and need a rest more than work.
New Iberians, like all other good fans,
are searching the records for an ap-
propriate name for their team. "Iberians'
and "Tabascos" have been tabooed for the
present. and if anybody wants to call
them "Redhots" after their famous
sauce it is going 10 make the fans feel
that way. If Gandolfi reassembles the
Italian delegation he had in Lafayette
last season they might cali them the
4sWops," just to get them mad.
Rayne fans are trying to listen how
"Ricers" sounds while the editor Of
the Tribune keeps on in his meek and
lowly way of referring to them as the
champions" evidently having been mis-
informed in some way regarding the
necessity for an appropriate. name
Oakdale must choose better name
than "Lumberjacks" If they want to
avoid that title, for the city Of saw mills
suggests such a title. 1t isn't bai,
either. Abbeville and Alexandra still
