News was received here the first
of the week through a Brady mer-
chant from H. R. Morrell, former
game warden of this county. He
was ordering a fountain pen and
pencil set and had the money en-
closed. If you people have forgot-
ten Mr. Morrell, he was the fel-

Steppe, who used to see that the

he also protected the doe deer from

Henry Garcia of Melvin goes in-
to farming in a big way. He has
a farm partly in Concho and part-
ly in McCulloch counties. The one in
Concho consists of 325 acres, with
221 in cultivation. The one near
Melvin has 163 acres with 115
acres in cultivation. He says he
is a cotton farmer, as there is more
money in the white fleece. He runs
a small bunch of sheep on his Con-
cho place. Henry has been here
for the past twenty-one years and
says he likes this part of Texas
fine. He speaks good English and
is a prosperous, law-abiding citi-
zen. Wednesday he was in Brady
buying supplies for his two places.
Little Dick Moseley, young
rancher of the Rochelle section,
was here Wednesday on business.
Dick said the past cold spell did-
n’t bother his livestock much, and
reports the loss of only a few
lambs. He stated he hadn’t shear-
ed his goats yet.

MOTHER’S FUNERAL, SUNDAY
Mrs. Lon Downs has returned to
her home from Lockhart where she
attended the funeral of her moth-
er, Mrs. B. F. Gabbert, who died
last Thursday night at 8:30 o’clock,
at the age of 83 years. Her hus-
band died only four months ago.
Mrs. Gabbert, who resided here
in 1908, was a native of Jasper,
Ala. She had been a member of
the Baptist Church since girlhood,
and was active in the Eastern Star
and Rebecca lodges. Final rites
were conducted by Rev. W. H.
Barsch, pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Lockhart, assisted by
Rev. J. C. Jones, pastor of the
Lockhart Methodist Church.
The surviving children, besides
Mrs. Downs, are T. W. Gabbert of
Post, P. B. Gabbert, Mrs. D. L.

Jack is one fellow that is never

McCulloch county is one of the best

a nice business here. Jack says
the reason he is always so happy
is because he sells that good Crys-

Mr. Rutherford spent the past few

by the Tomlinsons, and will serve
as a store room. S. P., Jr., says this
will afford the farmers of this
county a better outlet for their
dairy products and will mean an
added source of income for them.
This establishment has always giv-
en the people of this county a ready
and better market price for their
dairy products. Mr. Tomlinson and
two sons, S. P., Jr., and Leo, ex-
tend a special invitation to the peo-
ple to visit their plant the next
time they are in Brady.
We don’t need “a whispering
campaign” on this trade-at-home
proposition in Brady. We need to
do lots of loud talking and hard
work. Brady is a good town and
is filled with good merchants—
but no matter what kind of busi-
ness you are in, you need to buy
at home. Slip The Brady Stand-
ard that printing order and your
advertising and, believe me you,
this bunch will put up a fight to
trade at home, buy at home and
spend at home. Merchants, pro-
fessional men, citizens doesn’t “the
old home town” come FIRST?
