OIL MILL SEASON ABOUT OVER
Only about two weeks remain
of the oil mill season. By that
ime the big seed house will be
empty, and 3400 tons of .seed will
have been worked up, against
about 4100 tons last year- This
shortage was caused by the crop
i failure between here and Devine,
and also to the fact that many
carloads ot seed were shipped out,
should have been sold to the
oil mill here. Shipments of cake
have been stopped and the remain-
der will be held to till orders from
j local people. Sometime before
the next season opens another
seed house 50x100 feet will be
\ built, to afford ample storage
room for all seed purchased dur-
I ing the cotton season.

hst with Monroe Chapman in his
- engineering work.

BLONDIN’S SHOW.
Blondin’s Show returned to
Pearsall and played three nights,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
to good crowds. The show was
quite an improvement over its vis-
it here about three weeks ago, |on
account of securing another and
better team to take the leading
part in some of the plays. Not on-
ly Blondin, but his company, took
a fancy to Pearsall, and we under-
stand one of his musicians is anxi-
ous to return and make his home
here. The music, by the way,
was one of the most enjoyable fea-
tures of the show, and received
many an encore.
TO INSTALL NEW GENERATOR.
The growth of Pearsall is con-
tinually demanding new improve-
ments and extensions in the water
and light systems. The big pump
at at the plant was duplicated long
ago; likewise the air compressor.
The dynamo which has a capacity
of about 600 lights, is pulling
more than that, and the quality of
the service is suffering. The di-
rectors have about decided to pur-
chase another generator of 550
light capacity to aid the one now
in use. and the order will probab-
ly be placed at an early date.
IN HONOR OF MRS. PEARCE.
Mrs. Green Martin, assisted by
Misses Mary Hudson and Effie
Martin, entertained in a most de-
lightful manner Thursday after-
noon of last week in honor of Mrs.
J. S. Pearce, of Orange. Pro-
gressive Rook proved a most en-
tertaining diversion and was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all present.
The final score gave Mrs Crawford
Laxson the first prize, a beautiful
hand-painted plate, and Mrs.
Pearce was awarded the guest
prize, also a hand-painted plate.
Chicken salad, olives, wafers and
chocolate were served. The guests
were Mesdames Monroe Chapman,
Ben Rubinstein, Geo Beever,J.A.
Carter, S. C. Roberts, Magu6
Smith, A. R. Sanders, Luther De
Vilbis , Walter Thompson, Frank

LAUNDRY STARTS MONDAY.
As a result of correspondence
in answer to an advertisement
placed in the Dallas News by The
Leader several weeks ago, in an
effort to secure an experienced
laundr.vman to take hold of the
Pearsall Steam Laundry, Mr. E.
F. Morse, of Dallas, arrived in
Pearsall Friday. He was taken
through the laundry at once and
was highly pleased to find the
plant so complete. After inquir-
ing about Cotulla, Millett, Dilley,
Derby, Melon, Frio Town, Moore
and Devine, as probable patrons
of a good laundry, Mr. Morse
sized up the proposition as a most
promising one. In this belief he
was greatly strengthened by ev-
eryone whom he met Business
men and citizens were unanimous
in assuring him of their loyal sup-
port and that of the town.
Saturday and Sunday were
spent by Mr. Morse in getting ac-
quainted, and Monday morning a
deal was completed whereby the
ownership of the laundry was
transferred to him. 'He went to
San Antonio on the morning train,
purchased a colla^machine, order-
ed necessary supplies and return-
ed to Pearsall on the night train
Tuesday.
All the week has been taken up
with preparations for starting the
laundry Monday. Mr. Morse ap-
pears to thoroughly understand
his business, and comes highly
recommended by Stiers Steam
Laundry, of Dallas He has fol-
lowed the business for the past
twelve years, and has worked in
every department- He is greatly
pleased with Pearsall and her
people and sees a most encourag-
ing future here for a good laun-
dry. The people are asked to
give the laundry every encourage-
ment now -after a trial Mr. Morse
feels confident that the quality of
his work will hold his patrons and
bring in new ones. He will strive
for quality rather than quantity,
knowing that the latter will event-
ually be obtained through the
first.
For the present Mr. Morse will
board, but as soon as the laundry
is running nicely, his wife and
four children will join him and
make Pearsall their home. Frank-
ly, we btlieve they will be a most
desirable addition to our town.
LARGE VEGETABLES.
Leo Blondin, manager of Blon-
din’s Show,.came to the Leader
office Friday afternoon and loaded
down our imposing stone with gi-
gantic vegetables from the farm of
his father-in-law, Rev. P. I Tay-
lor, of Kooskia, Idaho, who sent
them down to show what might be
raised in that country. An enor-
mous apple, and carrots, parsnip,
beet, Irish potato, turnip and on-
ion, of like size were included in
the lot and all except the turnip
and apple are on exhibition in our
show window. Rev- Taylor was
raised in Palo Pinto County, and
served as pastor to the different
churches there, but on the advice
| of Ins physicians, went west for
; his health, locating in Idaho
TEXAS GAME LAWS.
One of our ranchmen has asked
that we publish the Texas Game
Laws, and handed us a copy early
in the week. It is impossible to
get it in this week, but we shall
try to publish at least the more
important items next week. At
any rate, hunters are warned that
violations of the game laws are
suspected and the guilty parties
will be prosecuted if enough evi-
dence can be secured.
