CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank all neighbors
and friends for their kind minis-
tration during the, illness and sympa-
thy at the death of our dear brother
and uncle, W. E. Speir. We also
wish to thank the Rev G. M. McNeilly
for his comforting words and all for
the beautiful flowers.

All delinquent tax will be adver-
tised and placed with attorneys for
collection on October 1st, 1939. The
law requires cooperation between
city, school, and state tax collectors,
and we understand the school dis-
trict will proceed after October 1st.
The city is in need of money to do
the many things demanded- by the
tax payers. To meet this demand

Chevrolet 1% ton truck, motor and

It is an amazing Sunday School
lesson we have for next Sunday. The
lesson is three-fold plus a question.
First, the wickedness of the leaders
of Israel; Second, The judgment
that follows such wickedness; and
Third, God’s refusal to hear their
prayer. Then comes the searching
question: “What doth Jehova require
of thee?” Then the answer is given in
these words: “To do justly, and to
love kindness, and to walk humbly
with thy God.” Plainly then, the
things here required were not com-
plied with. So judgment fell, and
that of the worst sort.
Now what the Lord required of the
nations then He requires of the nat-
ions now. Namely: “To do justly, to
love kindness, and to walk humbly
with God.” But are the nations doing
justly? Do they love kindness? And
are they walking humbly with God?
Read your paper and listen to the
radio for the answer. So We have war
today, and why? For the same reason
they had war then, the sin of the
people.
Do you think for one moment the
nations (ours included) are doing
justly before God? that they love
kindness? and are walking humbly
with God? You know they are not,
and because they are not the holocau-
st now sweeping the world is* God’s
judgment. Now do not lose yourself

Truly the way of the cross leads
home. How the Lord Jesus continues
to bless us at Central Christian. Our
fall program for Christ and His
church is in full swing. A packed
church at every service is assured.
With Gods help, we will make the
300 in Bible School we have been
praying for.
The Men’s Class is leading the. way.
It is expected that at least 100 men
will be present Sunday. The big con-
test starts in full swing between the,
Dizzies and Daffies. You will miss
'a great fellowship as well as a spirit-
ual feast if you fail to be present.
The Harrington Quartet will be
with us at the evening services.
The sermon subjects will be,
“Drifting away From God” at the
morning service and “Where Waters
Meet” at the evening services.
Bro. Wolfe, will preach both ser-
mons.
The two endeavor societies meet
at 6:30 and have a great program
planned. The Harrington Quartet will
sing.
Follow God’s people to God’s house
on God’s day. He will do thee god.
Oak Hill, Sept 11—Oak Hill Com-
munity was indeed honored, when the
invitation extended the Elgin Com-
munity Male Chorus, El-Hi Band,
and C of C groups, thru the Home
Demonstration Club to be their
guests, Friday evening, Sept. 8th,
was accepted. They came, and their
program was wonderful in every
respect, and the ladies who sponsor-
ed it appreciated it more, than they
can express. Their only regret is
that every person in the community
didn’t attend, many of them stayed
at home. We just can’t conceive of
any one failing to appreciate the good
music, both vocal and instrumental,
and to mix and mingle with friends
and neighbors and make new friends
is wonderful.
Mesdames, Frank and Ellen Jer-
rell of Cedar Grove Club, cooperated
with Oak Hill members and Mesdam-
es, Vivian Hancock, Marie Stagner,
and Garland Duncan, made donat-
ions, and this was also appreciated.
All who failed to attend have missed
an opportunity that will not likely
come again. The writer regrets more
than she can express, that she could
not attend, because of the fact, she
was sent as a delegate from Bastrop
County, to the State Convention of
Texas Home Demonstration Associa-
tion in Lubbock.

bout an inch of rain Monday after-

BLUE, Sept. 11—This community
is very much in need of a good rain.
A rain would not do the crop any
' good now, but would fill the tanks
for stock water.
Most everyone is through picking
cotton. Some are through gathering
corn. Peanuts are ready to harvest.
All crops will soon be harvested for
this season.

School to Start
The Blue school will start Mon- '
day, September 18, with Mrs. Eula <
(Conrad, principal and: Mrs. Clara 1
Noack of Dime Box, as intermediate
teacher.
It seems to me that this extreme
drouth would teach us a lesson, on
building tanks, digging wells, etc,
to be safe for stock water, but as
it is many forget from one time to
the next, and now, many farmers
are hauling, or driving stock to
water. This takes many hours of
valuable time. We are told that we
are “lucky” that we have water. In
some instances shallow wells have
failed, and some are dry.
Mrs. J. D. Owen, her daughter
Faye, and house guests, Patricia
Martin, and Mrs. Mimmie Shelton,
attended the regular County Council
meeting at Bastrop Saturday.
«Thanks to Mrs. Ida Buffa for her
renewal to Elgin Courier. Its a fine

reach the goal.
