peals Court, died today fol-
and esteem.
At the cemetery, Mrs. Aug.

ualistic service of the Schwas-
ter Lodge of the O. D. H. S.,
the entire lodge attending as
a tribute of affectionate re-
gard for Mrs. Sander, who had
served them faithfully and
well as President over a per-
iod of 26 years.
Mrs. Sander was a devoted
member of the Lutheran
church having been confirmed
in same in early childhood.
She was a devoted Christian,
having been an official in
the Ladies Aid for more than
twenty years. Until the death
of her husband, the family
circle had been unbroken and
all had lived in perfect peace.
Mrs. Sander is deeply
mourned by a large circle of

neighbor. The heritage she
leaves her children of a noble
Christian life, active and use-
ful to the last, will be cherish-
ed by them throughout life.
Her unselfish example will
ever be an ideal for them
to follow.

NOTICE TO THE FARMERS
Mrs. Fred J. Fietsam Buys
The Shiner Gazette Plant
We have definite informa-
tion from Robstown and other
towns where quite a portion of
the Texas onions are produced
that owing to the dry weather
existing in those places the
preparation and planting of
onion acreage has not gotten
under way. The onion buyers
feel that this year would be a
good time for the farmers of
this community to get in the
onion business.
Should enough farmers be in-
terested the Chamber of Com-
merce will be glad to work
with them in securing seed
and the marketing of the
crop.

An exhibit from Shiner in-
cludes a basket weave found
in a cave in the Chisos moun-
tains, and which Smithsonian
experts declare is from 3,509
to 4,000 years old. Then there
is an old rifle, a flint lock,
muzzle-loading carbine, a Chi-
nese dagger in ivory case, and
a new-looking flint lock pistol
many years old.
Attracting most attention in

that will shoot. It is one and a
