To Build a Solid Foundation
For increased accumulation, for a larger and more
material success, conserving one’s income, getting
the odds and ends into a lump sum and protecting
them for future investment, all men of practical
experience admit there is no other method so safe,
so sure in ultimate results as the
Bank Account Plan
This being the case, it becomes merely a
question of selecting the right bank, the bank
best prepared to serve one’s interests.
We believe this bank furnishes the right kind
of service—a service you will appreciate. Come
in and let us tell you how it will serve your in-
terests.

Monroe Wolf is Dead.
People of Lampasas were
shocked Friday morning to learn
that Monroe Wolf had died in his
bed during the night at his home
some fourteen miles southwest of
Lampasas, his residence being
some miles beyond Naruna, Bur-
net county.
It is supposed that heart failure
or apoplexy was the cause of his
death, as he had been in his usu-
al health, strong, vigorous and
hearty up to within a short time
ago.
He was something beyond six-
ty years of age, and had lived in
this part of Texas for more than
fifty years and was one among
the prosperous and responsible
ranchmen of the country, having
several thousand acres of land
well stocked with cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs.
A widow and three children,
two sons and one daughter, are
left to mourn the loss of a faith-
ful and kind husband, and a lov-
ing father. There is also a little
grandchild, son of a daughter
now deceased, which Mr. and
Mrs. Wolf have had in their
home since its infancy.
The funeral will be held Satur-
day and the body will be taken
to the Dobyville cemetery for in-
terment. The hour of the funer-
al has not yet been announced.
Important Meeting.
All the committeemen appoint-
ed for whatever purpose in con-
nection with the barbecue and
good roads meeting for tomorrow
are urgently requested to meet
at the county court room at 7:30,
promptly this evening. Final
arrangements must be made, and
some additional workers must be
engaged to take care of the vis-
itors who will be here. Let not
only the members of these com-
mittees, but everyone interested
in the success of the movement
be present.
