Does it Occur to You That We Have Only a Few More Days in Which to

There are thousands of beautiful remembrances that can be had at our store. Most
liberal preparations have been' made by us and many special things have been bought
for the Holiday trade. Never before in the history of our business have we enjoyed such
a fine trade, and still our store is complete in every detail. Every freight and every ex-
press coming to Lampasas brings the Big, Busy Store merchandise of different character
MlRoJANDISE such as you can depend upon. It is no longer a Question of Low
Prices and Shoddy Goods, BUT GOOD GOODS are what the people are looking for. This
we have always advocated: SELL THE BEST, even if it comes a little higher. ' It is
economy in the long run. Ask whom you may, where you can get the Best Goods, and
nineteen cases out of twenty they will send you to Barnes, Higdon & Company.
We Want Your Trade Worse Than the Other Fellow. Try Us.

One of the men engaged in the
banking business remarked a
few days since that the banks
here would be overflowing, but
for the fact that much of the mon-
ey which properly belongs here
was being taken west and invest-
ed in lands. Lands are higher
in the west than here, and it may
not be out of place for The Lead-
er to suggest that it might pay
better to invest that same money
in lands nearer home, where there
is a better prospect of advance-
ment in price and bigger profit
in the end. However, the west-
ern fever seems to prevail here
as it does in other sections of the
state.
Wm. Pettit, now living near
Ogle, was in Wednesday and
made a pleasant call at The Lead-
er office. He is prospering and
pleased with this country.
The Independent Poultry Com-
pany is open for business, and
you will see Claud Townsen or
Charles Guilhem on the street
buying your produce in the way
of fat turkeys, eggs, etc. They
have large |»ens, and have a
force of hands engaged in pick-
ing and intend to handle both
turkeys and eggs in car lots.
Some people of this day will
remember the battle cry of 1890,
of “Hogg and the Commission.”
We had Hogg and we have had
the commission for years, but
that commission is now suffering
from an injunction suit, and al-
though its authority is gained
from the constitution, the injunc-
tion now pending declares it to
be an unconstiutional organiza-
tion, and seeks to overthrow the
commission and its authority, all
of which was caused by the prop-
osition of the commission to make
a rate 2 1-2 cents per mile for
passenger fares over the H. & T.
C. railroad.
Pitchfork Tillman has again
distinguished himself. Having
announced that he would speak
in Chicago on the Cuban question,
he was petitioned to change his
subject as that would involve a
discussion bf the race problem.
He accordingly changed, and said
that he would forget that Cuba
existed ana discuss the race
problem direct. Coming from
South Carolina, where the fif-
teenth amendment has given
more trouble than in any other
portion of the country; he used
Doth his pitchfork and his
greased lightening in discussing
the matter, and made both the
hair and the wool fly. Merely
sample sentences of his speech
are given in the Daily Press, but
his speech must have been a ter-
rific arraignment of the powers
that be., and a free speech, such
as the American citizen is entitled
to make on such occaions. Be-
ing interrupted frequently by
some critic, he demanded that
the questioner shut up, and
declared that he had forgotten
forty years ago more than his
questioner ever knew. It must
have been an eye-opener even
in Chicago.
A Pleasant Evening.
At the handsome home of Mrs.
T. L. Cauthen, Mrs. Wilson of
Georgia, with her charming man-
ner entertained the Mayflower
club, cards being the game pro-
vided. Mrs. Wilson leaves
nothing undone that will con-
tribute to the ease and comfort
of her guests.
After several games of cards
the first prize went to Mrs. Theo.
Arbuokle, and the gentlemen’s
pGz > to Mr. .1. N. Manuel. The
hostess served mi appetizirg oys-
ter course in a most beautiful
way. Night had thrown her sa-
ble mantel over us before the
guests realized the flight of time,
and reluctantly bade their hostess
adieu, after spending one of the
most enjoyable evenings in the
annals of social gatherings. X

Th8 turkey market seems to be
busy, notwithstanding the low
price, and possibly a thousand
turkeys haye been bought here
this week.\ .The top price is
about 8 cerfts per pound gross,
and this makes the average bird
bring aboutla dollar. There is
good moneylin raising turkeys
at that price, but for several
years the pri<® has been much
better than it ripw is. A turkey
famine beingA reported in the
east, The Leadel does not under-
stand why the Value does not
show an increasettiere. Possibly
the price may advance towards
the holidays.
A borrower once made this
cold-blooded remark to his
accomodating neighbor: “It’s
‘gainst my interest- to pay you
the principal, and ‘gainst my
principle to pay you the inter-
est.” Many a money lender
recalls similar expressions.
But such experiences are
avoided when you deposit
your money in this./bank.
