of the early settlers brought
with them when they came to
settle here and undergo the
hardships; that are incident to
pioneering a country.
At the age of 23 years he
took leave from his parents,
sister and brother and took
passage on a sailship bound for
America, arriving at Galveston
in the summer of 1866. An ox
team brought him. into the in-
terior of Texas and to his final
destination—the farm of Jack
Rinn near Industry.
Being a man of extraordinary
strong physical constitution,
and willing to gain a livelihood
from the virgin soil, he had no
difficulty in finding employ-
men as a farmhand. After
four years of strenuous labor he
returned to his native land with
sufficient cash money to defray
passage to America for his fath-
er, mother, sister, brother and
for his betrothed, Miss Wilhel-
mine Moritz. The whole fami-
ly landed at Galveston and a
happy bunch it was. All of
them enjoyed an independent
life, and were prosperous from
the start.
Andreas was the youngest in
the family and witnessed the
lowering of the remains of his
parents,, sister and brother into
the grave, after reaching a
serene old age.
On the fourth day of July,
1896, his beloved wife, nee
Moritz, was called by death.
She was in her forty-ninth year,
the mother of thirteen children
of whom several were of tender
age. After a couple of years
the family broke up house-
keeping, and the younger chil-
dren went to live with the older
ones who were happily married
and had homes of their own. In
1914, after reaching the Indian
summer of his life—his seven-
teenth year—he sold his splen-
didly kept farm at Industry and
began making preparations for
a pleasure trip to his native
land. On his arrival there he
found that during the forty-
five years of his absence great
changes had taken place. Most
of his childhood friends were
gone, those who remained bare-
ly remembered his name. Con-
sequently he was seized with a
longing for his home in sunny

authorized to announce Fred
Blundell of Lockhart as a can-
didate for re-election to the of-
fice of district attorney, 22nd
Judicial District of Texas, sub-
ject to the action of the demo-
cratic primaries on July 28,
1928.
Mr. Blundell is an efficient
attorney and proved his fitness
for the office to which he seeks
re-election, upon numerous oc-
casions. In fact, the outlaws
watch Mr. Blundell’s movements
as closely and persistently as a
cat w7atches a mousehole. Not
only the people of the 22nd Ju-
dicial district but the people of
all Texas are in dire need of his
peerless services in the court
loom. He is no “fire eater”
but believes in Court reform
which is best substantiated by
the large number of convicts he
sent to the corn fields during
his tenure of office.

has disclosed that the Justices ™Pr an^-Mi,ss tinda Becker
of the Peace, in the County,'
have been very negligent and
lax in the submission of their
reports to the Commissioners’
Court and to the District Court.
trhis body demands that all jus-
tices of the peace and all other
officers required by law to file
reports, hereafter file said re-
ports with the promptness and
certainty required by law.
This body wishes to go on rec-
ord as condemning the obnox-
ious practice of making public
dumping grounds out of the
roads and highways in this
county. The dumping of trash
and refuse upon the roads and
highways tends, not only to
make them unsightly and dan-
gerous, but also to cause un-
sanitary and unhealthful con-
ditions. Having the welfare of
the citizenship of our county at
heart, we earnestly ask that this
obnoxious practice be discon-
tinued. In this connection this
body, believeing that it is ex-
pressing the sentiment of every
citizen of the county, wishes to
compliment the State Highway
Department of Texas, and es-
pecially the Engineer in charge
of this district of which Aus-
tin County is a part, and Mr.
v'ai Vlcek, the foreman in
charge of road maintenance
work in this county, for the
splendid work that they have
done and are doing in our coun-
ij. Their honest efforts to
give our county the best roads
possible with means at their ■
hands are deeply appreciated.
We have finished our labors ■
and respectfully ask to be dis-
charged.

Our beloved District Clerk,
Mr. Sterling writes us, that the
majority of the 24 indictments
returned are against out-of- ,
County violators, 12 being for

As the time for the Demo-
cratic convention in Houston,
Texas, approaches it recalls to
the minds of Americans the
man for whom that city was
named-Gen. Sam Houston, who
has been appropriately called a
“Colossus in Buckskin.” Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Texas all
lay claim to him as being their
own, but in a wider sense he be-
longs to the whole nation for he
was one of the really great em-
pire-builders of this country.
If you do not know what was
the importance of Sam Houston
in the history of our country be

ture article by Elmo Scott Wat-
