Have you bought a Lib-
erty Bond?
Tn a recent interview given an
Austin newspoper reporter our
gonial friend, Mr. John O. .>ash,1
indulges in many interesting
reminiscences of the early days '
in Texas. Mr Nash is 88 years
old and possibly the oldest Texan
now living in this great state.
He made the trip from i he
Pacific coast to Texas in an ox j 5
wagon. He has lived in Texas i
under four tiags and Is now the E
only man living who heard the Jj:
guns at the Battle of San Jacin i j;
to. Mr. Nash is hale ami hearty
at the age of s* ;md his mind
exceedingly alert. He clearly
recalls incidents of throe quar ;
tors of a century back. He;
makes his home at Waelder,
Texas, with a son but is now on
a visit to the old home where he'
lived since 1S>4 until two years;
ago, and where old friends will
always extend a cordial welcome
to this grand old Texan.
