Marfa Alpine band rivalry noted amid football clash
Raymond Wheat apologizes for a Marfa band miscue during an Alpine school song as fans commend sportsmanship. Band enrollment grows in both elementary schools, instrument shortages persist, and two 16 mm projectors join classrooms. Public notices urge police at Central School crossings and report on football injury coverage for a 30-member squad.

Cattle and Hog Receipts Rise. Sheep Slow in Week
Sept 18 market reports show cattle and hog receipts well ahead of the prior week while sheep receipts fall about 3 000. Trade remains uneven with early gains of 50 to 1 reflecting in most cattle classes, but later demand softens some sectors. Fat cattle scarce, stockers lift, and fat lambs fluctuate between strong gains and steady values.
