HEBREW NEW YEARS DAY.
Jewish People Observe ROsh Hashon-
ah and Exchange Compliments
of the Season.

Today, according to the Jewish
calendar, begins the year 1863 of
the Jewish year This is the usual
New Years day, known in Hebrew as
the Rosh Hashonah. of the Hebrew
race, and the compliments of the sea-
son are in order between the people
of the race that was known in biblical
times as Gods chosen people. As
customary, the observance of the day
began at shutdown last evening and
will continue until shutdown today.
The usual manner of observing the
day is by suspending business and at
tending religious worship in the syn
agogues or other places of assembly.
This day is the beginning of the
ten days of penitence that inter
yenes Rosh Hashonah, which is con-
cluded by the feast of Yom Kippur
The observance of this season is con-
sidered a sacred obligation with the
orthodox Jew.
Rosh Hashonah has a deep re-
ligious significance and is one of the
most important of all the days Of
the year to the followers of that faith.
As the day of remembrance, it begins
the season which leads up to Yom
Kippur, on which day the rabbinical
legend teaches that the divine record
books are closed. On Rosh Hashon-
an the legend runs, God commands
the recording angel to open the books
of each ones sins and merits, leaving
the record open to be finally and ire
vocably closed on the Yom Kippur,
indicates at once the significance of
the day of remembrance, judgment
and of blowing the shofar
Perhaps the most distinguishing
feature in the ritual of Rosh Hash
onah is the blowing of the shofar.
The shofar is made of a curved rams
horn, and as in earlier times the
blowing of the horn was resorted to
as a signal for preparing for war, as
sembling for special purposes and
ceremonies, the custom of blowing the
shofar in the synagogue has been re-
tanned. The blowing of the shofar
on Rosh Hashonah is the signal for
each soul to rouse itself, consider it's
past, reflect upon its deserts and pre-
pare to be more worthy in the future.

Mercedes, Texas, Sept. pa
building boom of great violence is
raging here at the present time, near
ly everyone having caught the con
tagion to greater or less extent. New
stores are being built, brick resi-
dences, frame residences, bungalows
cottages, homes altered and en-.
larged houses moved from one loca-
ton to another, pore added here
and a window there.
More than twenty buildings are
now in process of erection or have
been completed within the past four
weeks.
The Zachery stock of general mer-
chandise is about TO be moved from
its present location into the fine new
store almost completed on Ohio ave.
Harry Appel expects to have his
store building finished and racket
stock placed ready to open for bust
ness October first.

Lingenbrink for a newspaper Office
is nearly finished and Mr.. Moritz, at
one time connected with The Herald,
hopes to get out the first issue of his
paper October first.
H. C. stephens has lately enlarged
his store, which had long since be
come too small for his ever increas-
ing stock.
The American restaurant has been
moved to a better location and its
size almost doubled, which speaks
well for the business.
S. P. Silver is putting up what
will be the finest residence in Merce-
des. 1t is a two-story brick, built on
mission lines, with spacious rooms
and airy galleries.
F. E. Scoby is charging his home
to six rooms and bath, with ample
galleries. Most of the residences,
however, are of the justly popular
bungalow type, so well suited TO our
southern cline.

son is building a house of the same
general style as Captain Fitch's, also
for rent, and expects to build two or
three others as fast as the much

them. All these houses were rented
long ago and people are clamoring
for more.
Arthur E. Chapman is building one
of the prettiest bungalows in town,
to be occupied as a home.
Fred Johnson has just finished and
moved into one of the most tasteful
cottages in this part of the country
