Supt. I. T. Taylor, with all of his teachers save two in the primary grades, chaperoned 100 or more pupils to Houston Friday morning to see the Constitution, historic “Old Ironsides.” With a knowledge of the noble part the old ship played in the early days of our Independence made her an object of great interest to the pupils and stamped her indelibly in the young minds of many who, most probably would never have heard of her. I feel that patriotism—a knowledge of love of one’s own country cannot be over looked in our schools if we expect the coming generation to be true loyal, Americans. Truly, we cannot begin the good work too early. After the inspection of the ship, the pupils were taken to the museum which was an enjoyable treat as well as educational. Supt. Taylor and his corps of teachers with the support of the board of trustees, should be congratulated for their wise forethought in making the trip possible. Many of the children went in private cars, but a way was provided for all who wanted to go. ___________ Mrs. Dudley Jordan entertained with several tables of bridge Tuesday afternoon, complimenting Mrs. Tom White and Miss Ruth Whitaker guests of Mrs. L. I. Sanford. Mrs. R. D. Ratliff and Miss Lela Stoner returned the past week from a three weeks visit in Galveston. While there, Miss Stoner had a pleasant visit with Mrs. Joseph Collogne of Dickinson. Mrs. Stofer accompanied her mother home and remained till Sunday. Mrs. Tom White of Sonora and Miss Ruth Whitaker of San Angelo are visiting Mr. and Mrs. L. I. Sanford. John Stofer of Victoria came over Saturday and accompanied his mother home on Sunday. Mr. J. N. Stofer met them in Houston and they visited “Old Ironsides.” Mr. and Mrs. Roy Dwigans and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Dwigans of Sugarland spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Dwigans. Mrs. Eugene Mixon was called to Runge the past week to be with her father, who is quite ill at his home with little hope for recovery. Mrs. Eugene Black was hostess to the Christian Ladies’ Missionary Society Wednesday afternoon. An interesting program was enjoyed, followed by a social hour and refreshments. Rev. Haley was unable to fill his regular appointment in Ganado on account of illness in his family. We regret to learn that his wife and little grandsons had diphtheria. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for all and sincere sympathy to the family. We were sorry to hear that Mrs. Jack Carlton had returned to the Baptist Hospital in Houston for medical treatment. She was accompanied by Mrs. J. L. Whitmire . Mrs. Joseph Roseborough Jr. of Victoria is visiting her mother, Mrs. J. M. Heard. Miss Harriet Shutt, a former Ganado resident, but now living in Los Angeles, Calif., was the guest of Mrs. N. Strauss the past week. While here she called on many of her old friends.

Miss Mary Strauss went to Seguin Sunday for a months’ stay. Fred Strauss accompanied her to Houston. Mr. Jim Heard went to Houston Sunday for a few days stay. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Drieschke took their baby to Houston Thursday for medical treatment. Mr. Dierschke went up for the week end with them. We are sorry to learn that Mr. T. A. McCoy, proprietor of the South Side Hotel is very ill at this writing with pneumonia. …Saturday of the past week, Mrs. ___ Sutherland passed away at her home in Houston. Mrs. Sutherland was the oldest sister of Mr. C. O. Rogers, Mr. Rogers had been down the previous week and spent a day and night with her, but was not well enough to attend the funeral. Miss Lee Comwell, a pleasant visitor in Ganado for the past week, left Saturday from Galveston on the Clyde Mallory Lines for her home in New York City. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bryan and family, accompanied by Miss Anna Lou Matlock were returning from Victoria Friday evening when they had a wreck near Telferner which came near being a very serious one. There was a fruit truck in trouble parked on the roadside without lights. In passing the truck, they met a car and swerved to miss it and struck the truck, not seeing it, and almost demolished the Bryan car. The wonder is how the occupants of the car escaped without serious injury. However, they were badly shaken up and received plenty of bruises and scratches. They spent the night in Victoria. Saturday morning Dr. W. C. Sumner and Mr. Will Ross went to Victoria after the Bryan family and were followed by Messrs. Alvin Landin and Fred Baker who brought the car home for repairs. An election was called for Saturday to vote on the incorporation question. We are glad to state the vote was nearly 3 to 1 for incorporation. Mr. Joe Petrash who was with the Guaranty Bond State Bank for several years, is now with the Citizens State Bank. Mrs. Anna Olson of Cotulla came in Sunday for a short visit with Mrs. Monte Rogers. She left Tuesday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Collogne in Dickinson. Mrs. L. S. Walker, who was badly burned last winter and confined to her bed for weeks, and then had pneumonia, has entirely recovered and was in town the past week for the first time. F. A. Ratliff has rented the building formerly occupied by the Guaranty Bond State Bank and is having it put in order for occupancy. This building is more commodious, giving space for a ware room in the rear and more floor space in front which will make things much more convenient than in his present cramped quarters. He expects to move his stock of goods within the next few days. Mrs. Praytor and daughter, Miss Callie, of Wharton, visited Mrs. Alvin Landin last week. Mrs. Tom White of Sonora and Miss Ruth Whitaker of San Angelo, who have been guests of Mrs. L. I. Sanford for several weeks, have returned to their respective homes. Mrs. Alvin Landin’s mother, Mrs. Burditt of Francitas, came in last week for an extended visit. After a few days and nights of sub-freezing weather the past week, we surely appreciate the grand sunshine Sunday. The continued freezing weather played havoc with our fine early gardens, but we are hoping that it killed the boll weevil and insects that are an ever source of trouble to the gardeners. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bankhead and little daughter of Ganado have moved to Ganado and taken rooms with Mr. and Mrs. Dale Burditt. Rev. A. L. Halen will not fill his regular appointments here Sunday as there will be a revival meeting in progress at the M. E. Church. Rev. Haley will accept an invitation to participate in a revival at that time and come to us at a later date. Mrs. J. L. Whitmire and daughter, Joan, accompanied by Geraldine Carleton, went to Houston Thursday to see Mrs. Jack Carleton, who is in the Baptist Hospital. They returned Saturday.

Wanona Taylor gave a very interesting talk on the subject: “My Place in Helping to Meet the Needs of the Young People,” Ruth Dwigans rendered a beautiful piano solo. It was an interesting and inspiring meeting and the young people came home feeling that it was good to have been there. The Young People’s Division of the Methodist Church had a party at the church Friday evening. There were about fifty present and they enjoyed several hours of games. Lots of good things to eat added to the pleasure of the evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lyons of Nordheim spent several days the past week with Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Mixon.

Mr. A. B. Mitchell is resting comfortably the past week, but is still in a critical condition. Mrs. C. A.

Monday morning she was suffering from soreness and a stiff neck, but apparently there was no serious injury. Forest Dwigans of Houston spent Sunday with his parents. Jerry Lee Bryan of Victoria was here for the week end. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Ratliff, Gele Allen and Miss Lela Stoner and Mrs. R. D. Ratliff were El Campo visitors Sunday afternoon. The Style Show with its male cast put on at the pavilion Tuesday night by the ladies of the Methodist Church, was a very laughable and enjoyable affair. The effort of the men, in their various costumes, to assume the feminine role, manner and little eccentricities was truly comical. We feel that the bride with her lithe, willowry figure and easy grace deserves mention. In her dainty bridal gown, she was simply “fetching.” Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Green had the following guests for Sunday: Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Merla and children from Rosenberg; Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Schromberg from Louise; Mrs. Homer Matthes and family from Wharton and Floyd Vest from Francitas. Mrs. R. M. Crockett and daughters of Austin were guests of Mrs. Emil Egg the past week.
