engaging in business for him-
self.
He is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Willie Middleton,
and one son, Gilbert, father,
step-mother and several broth-
ers and sisters, all of whom have
the sympathy of the citizenship
of Rastrop.
Funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. W. O. Stephens,
of the Christian church, 8 o'clock
Thursdey afternoon, with inter-
ment in Fair view.
W. F. Schaefer had many
friends; as "straight as a die"
in business affairs he had the
confidence of Ins fellowman and
those who knew him best in
Bastrop and throughout the
county, an.i there are many,
grieve with the sorrowing ones
in his death.
If you want to hear a discus-
sion of one of the most iminirtant
questions of the day, hear the ad-
dress on "The Sins of the Fath-

CITY BEAUTIFUL.
(Edited by Dr. H. H. Combs.)
Now is the time to get busy
and plant trees, shrubs, flowers,
etc. to beautify your home and
the vacant lots. lx>ts all do some
thing toward this end and do it
now. I>'ts all help beautify the
Public School grounds for in-
stance.
Interest in planting flowers,
trees, etc. advertises you favor
ably with the best class. So fall
in line and beautify your homes
and our city. It's a good time
to plant evergreens, logustrunis,
camphor trees and magnolia.
I notice the most progressive
cities, like Houston and San An-
tonio, are making special efforts
to induce people to plant trees
around their premises. This is
the thing attracting the attention
of public spirited people living
there. So lets show our calibre,
our civic pride and aesthetic
taste by falling in 'ine. You get
more for your money aud time
in beautifying your home than
most anything else, besides you
likely need the exercise.
If you haven't but nine minutes
to wait we can press your suit
in this time.
