An Easter Birthday Party
Little Aline Em i lie Wolters in-
vited a number of little friends
to help her celebrate her fifth
birthday last Thursday after-
noon at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Wolters,
Easter decorations abounded in
the dining room where the table
was bedecked with Easter bas-
kets and scores of crowing
roosters and vari colored eggs.
The birthday cake with its five
lighted tapers, shed a rosy glow
over all. In the contest of pin-
ning on the rabbit’s tail Dennis
Baca won 1st prize and Dorothy
Jean Blohm the booby. A jar
of minature Easter eggs offered
a chance to guess at the contents
and Edith Wolters made an exact
guess as to the number while
Margaret Erie Leslie was
fartherestaway. The remainder
of the afternoon was spent in
out-of-door games on the spacious
lawn.
Many little tokens of love and
remembrance were left for the
little honoree.
Refreshments of “soda pop”,
sandwiches and cake were
served. Besides those already
mentioned there were present:
June Rose Jaroszewski, Leona
Manchen, Georgie Mte Janssen,
Irma Zander, Giady’s Rogge,
Lorene Koerner and Ladelle
Merrem of Yoakum. Carltcn
Wolters, Julius Hollman, Her-
bert Liebhafsky and William

First National Bank Im-
provements
TEXAS §
......1.....-■.........re
rerererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererere
For some weeks we have noted
some very substantial improve-
ments underway at the First
National Bank but we were told
to await completion before tell-
ing about it.
A large money safe, known in
the banking world as a Mosler
Triple Time Lock Screw Door
Manganese Steel Safe is being
installed. It is the last word
in burglar proof construction—
no 1 ecord of a safe of this type
being “blown up” is known. It
is being installed, all by itself,
in the large vault. A new rein-
forced concrete vault has been
built in the customer’s apart-
ment, which has been enlarged
to such an extent that the cus-
tomer’s rooms have doubled in
size. Customers lock boxes,
yaluable papers and old records
and valuables of the Bank are
to be placed in the new vault.
The new money safe is to be all
by its “lonesome” in its own.
private vault. ,
If any yegg man should at-
tempt to blow it there will be no"
destruction of customers valu-
able papers. The First National
is living up to its reputation:
that of the strongest bank in
Lavaca County.

sent the above 3 act Play on the

Easter Monday Dance

last Monday night was well at-
tended as well as the Easter
Feast during the day. 204 dance
tickets were sold at night.
Cow Boy Play
Easter Program
An appreciative congregation
gathered at the Methodist
Church Sunday night to listen
to an approbate Easter Service
rendered by the Sunday School.
Every number was thoroughly
enjoyed and the children reflect-
ed much credit upon their tea-
chers who trained them so
thoroughly.
We regret our inability to give
more extensive space to “Where
East Meets West,” the cowboy
play rendered last Thursday
night at the High School Audi-
torium but our columns are
crowded. Miss Josephine Mc-
Master, the accomplished Ex-
pression teacher, proved a pains-
taking and capable directress.
The Orchestra directed by Miss
Stella Wolters gave excellent
support throughout the evening.
The special voice numbers by
Mr. Turberville, as well as the
character sketch by Mr Ti'lery,
both of Yoakum, were given
hearty applause and the young
entertainers were forced to re-
spond to deserved encores.
Those responsible for the
splendid portrayals in the cast
were: Misses R »xie Veree
Buske, Irma Morgenroth, Ella
Novak, Selma Rogge, Virgie
Monroe, Mabel French, Irene
Turk and Alice Kasper- Messrs
Shelley Canon, Oliver Heinsohn,
Bernard Stratman, Roy Mewes
and Victor Dziewas. It is very
much regretted that so few were
in attendance.

bonnet bazaar at the K. of P.
Hall on Saturday April 18th, be-
ginning at 2:30 P, M. Refresh-

ings of the spirit of Easter.

Funeral Of Mrs. Reagan
The funeral of Mrs, Andrew
Reagan, who djed Thursday af-
ternoon at 4 o’clock at the home
of her brother-in-law, J. M. Rea-
gan at Ezzell, was held in the
City cemetery Friday afternoon
at 4:30 o’clock, in the presence
of a large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends, Rey. J. D.
McWhorter of the Methodist
church conducting the last sad
rites, assisted by Rev, Ed. W.
Griffith Pallbearers were: W,
H. Turk Jr., G, F. Munson, Prof.
R. C. Shelton, L. Gremillion of
Goliad, W, T. Chambers and
John E. Chambers There were
numerous contributions of beau-
tiful flowers, many of them from
the pupils of her step-son, Prof.
T. H. Leslie of Shiner, that bank-
ed the mound beneath which the
body of this good woman was
laid to rest.
It was this writer’s privilege
to live a near neighbor to Mrs.
Reagan during the lifetime of her
first husband, Mr. A. C. Leslie,
and to know her as neighbors
are known to one another, was
that as a Christian, a wife, a
neighbor and a friend, you would
have to travel far to find one to
excel her.
To the loved ones left behind,
we would say to remember that
“She is not dead, but sleepeth”
and that she has only gone on
before and beckons you to follow.
