Valued reader!                 A few lines from here again for you to read and ponder.                 Mr Friedrich Schur, with family, has left this week in order to try his luck in Williamson County.                 Mr Curt Guendel, with his special young bride, made a honeymoon stop here in Warda to visit his brothers.                 […]

Valued reader!                 Although we had a small nice rain last Wednesday, we could have had more. The dry winds took all the moisture from that rain away again. Hopefully, more (enough) rain willl come soon. Last week the granddaddy long-legged stork made a journey and left for Mr. and Mrs. Noack a bouncing baby

Valued Reader!                 O the heat!! 106 degrees in the shade. If it would only rain, and soon; that is all the folks talk about these days, and here in this valley of death, it currently is really dry, so that the bulk of the corn crops have almost lost their value and are completely

Valued reader!                     In order to share some news with you, I must first take hold of my pen. Secondly, I want to report that we had a beautiful rain, but it was not enough. If it would just rain once for one or two days, but what is not can still be. We only

Valued Reader!                 Since I have been invited to write, and can’t do anything because of the rain, I want to write you a few lines.                 Friend reader of Northrup probably thinks I am asleep, because I did not write after the rain on Good Friday. That is not so. After the rain I

Valued reader!                     For a long time there has been nothing here to hear about, but now I will grab my pen and write a few lines to The Volksblatt.                     At the present time it is terribly hot, and quite dry. Here and there some places have had a nice rain, but none has

Esteemed Reader!                 The reason I am reaching for my pen is that I would like to convey some news before it is forgotten.                 A few days ago, the rain subsided, and the sun came out again. One wishes the beautiful weather would stay, otherwise the roads will become totally unsurpassable, because one hears

I pick up my pen to share a few thoughts. I wish to make a few remarks to all the readers of the Volksblatt, and especially to the newspaper staff – a healthy and richly blessed year.                     The holidays are pleasantly here and they are and were really nice; also to have the visits

Valued Volksblatt readers.                 So much has been written in previous editions of the Volksblatt about duck and rabbit hunting that it almost gives one a migraine headache; so I will keep quiet about our hunting adventure, or else someone will tell a story that would be better than ours.                 The weather continues to
