Since 1907.
COMPLETES HIS NINETIETH
YEAR.
Judge A. M. Lamm celebr-ted his
birthday Tuesday, October 20, 1931.
jhaving completed his 90th y->ar of
i age. The Judge was born October
i 20, 1841, and during his long span of
years has witnessed many remarkable
changes and lived through some stir-
ring experiences. As a young man,
he went through the hardships of the
Civil War and was severely wounded.
And yet despite it all, he is still hale
and active and every day attends to
his work as a Notary Public.
Mrs. Lamm was A3 years old on
October 19th, and the only thing to
! mar the pleasure of their usual joint
observance of the natal days was ih?
fact that Mrs. Lamm recently suf-
fered injuries from a fall and is con-
fined to her bed most of the time.
So far as this writer can call to
mind, Judge Lamm is the last sur-
, viving Confederate veteran of our ac-
' quaintance, and so far as we know
the last surviving Confederate sol-
dier in Medina County.
The many friends of this aged
couple congratulate them and wish
them continued strength and enjoy-
ment of life.
CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK.
MRS. KNOPP HOSTESS.
By EcDon R. Waite, SLawanee, Oklahoma.
THAT the stores that advertise are prepared to be of real
helpfulness to you; visit them often.
They keep their stocks replenished with seasonable merchan-
dise so you tan make easy selections.
To know the true value of quality g?ods and to derive satis-
faction, you must buy from stores that advertise.
It is a good thing to know where to buy good merchandise.
Read the ads; you will find the names of progressive merchants
there.
To keep a community prosperous, money must circulate freely;
it can only circulate according to the desires of the people.
Money spent or invested in the home city circulates in the
home city. If it is spent away from home it circulates in some other
city and leaves the home city with no business, which means that
the wheels of progress are stopped.
WHEN BUYING, DON’T FORGET YOUR OWN INTERESTS
BUY ADVERTISED GOODS FROM HOME MERCHANTS.
MERCHANTS VHO ADVERTISE PROTECT THEIR
CUSTOMERS BY BACKING EVERYTHING THEY SELL.

This week we publish the state-
ment of the First National Bank as
required by official call of Septem-
ber 29th. The statements of both
the local hanks and that of the
D’Hanis ^tate Bank have all now
been published in this paper as re-
quired by law. A reading of these
statements shows all three bank
a sound, healthy condition. The low
prices being received for crops here
has reduced the volume of money
somewhat below what it would be if
better prices prevailed, but with the
abundance of feed and grain no one
is in distress and the present depres-
sion will be safely weathered as has
been done before. It is remembered
that in 1907, when most banks over
the country limited cash payments
and issued cashier's receipts, the two
local banks continued to do busin >ss
as usual right on through the panic. A
thrifty vubsta.iUa! body of p.trons
is any bank's best asset; and our
people in the mass are that kind.

It was an occasion for thanksgiv-
ing to see three large audiences of
God's people present at the Mission
Rally sen-ice held last Sunday. The
! inspiring services should long be re-
membered. and with the Lor i's bles-
! ing should bear much good fruit.
Owing to a fatal accident in the
home of Prof. Streng, the strangling
of his infant son, he was not able to
be present at our celebration. Prof.
Kuhlmann, however, sub-tituted for.
Brothel Strung at the German ser-;
vice. The speaker also addressed
th? large audience at t 1 night ser-
vice, dwelling on the subject of for-
eign mission in India and New Gui-
nea. His chosen text was: * Cast thy
bread upon the waters: for thou shalt
find it after many days.” Ecclesias-
tes II, 1. Interesting 3tories were
related l ’garding the success of mis-
don work in our New Guinea field.
Rev. Hasskarl of Quihi impressed
the hearers with the importance of
V rting mission work right at houv*.
' We are lab mers together with G d.”
1 Cor. 3, 9 was the basis for his sh >ri
talk.
The Sunday school pr igram a* v dl
!as the Luther League program were
very well rendered. Everyone re-
ceived an inspiration from these ser-
vices.
Next Sunday the services will be
held in the German language begin-
(nmg at 10:30.
The Sunday school and Bible class
meet at 9:15.
On November 1 we sva!l celebrate
our Reformation Festival. Many
historians regard the beginning of
Modern History as having its advent
in the great reform movement in
Germany in the sixteenth century.
We shall meet to consider the great j
blessings which we have yet this very!
doy as a remit of th s God-sent re-
form over 400 years ago. This s»r-
v: e begins at 10:30. Holy Com-
munion will be celebrated in connec-
tion with this service. Announce-
ments may be mad ■ on the Friday
• nt! th? Saturday preceding.

On next Sunday afternoon, Oct.
25, at 3 o’clock, the men of our
church are asked to meet with the
men of th? other Lutheran churches
in this vicinity in our own church at
Hondo for a very important discus-
sion. The president of the District

It is not an uncommon occurence,
especial!? during the hunting sea-
son when they nre being shot at from
every side, to hear the frightened
call of the bobwhite right in the
heart of town. But for wild tur-
keys to come to town is an unusual
occurrence. But it has occurred,
righ* here in Hondo. Early yester-
day morning two turkey hens were
hserved by a number of people.
Th y flew about town rather promis-
cuously and were seen to light sev-
eral times only to he startled again
j end finally disappeared.
Whither out of season him tors
had disturbed them in their roc ting

mak- a frightened get-away, or
.whether the law again it killing hens
I has caused then- to become so numer-
! ous that these had to seek new range
we leave it to you to guess.
