A RUNAWAY.
Tuesday was an unlucky day
for the Trickey Grain Company;
they having their delivery wagon
smashed up. It seems that the
driver got out to open a gate and
tied the lines to the wagon ^eat.
One of the horses was restless and
giving jump, pulling the seat
over on the horses, and of course
what excuse more did they need
for running away. The driver
grabbed on to the back end of the
wagon and rode well until the
wagon hit a post and turned over,
when he gave up all hope and
was content to repose beneath the
wagon until a Mexican came along
about one-half hour later and
righted the wagon.
Emmitt is still alive and able to
be about, but the wagon is in the
hands of Dr. Powell.

“MYFATHER’S SON’’
‘‘My Father’s Son” is one of
the plays which will be produced
by the Albert Taylor Company
during their engagement at the
opera house which begins Wednes-
day, January 26th- It is one of
to see his j these quiet, heart interest come-
DAV1D GARRICK.
Albert Taylor the eminent co-
median will be seen at the Laurel
Opera House on Thursday matinee
January 27, in the splendid old
English Comedy “David Garrick”
Mr. Taylcr this season has, it is
said, the strongest supporting
company he has ever had.
The play “David Garrick”
founded on a somewhat apocry-
phal episode in the life of that
great actor. Ada Ingot, whose
father, a merchant, wished her to
marry Chivy,a typical hard drink
ing, fox hunting squire, was in
fatuated with Garrick. Garrick
promised her father to cure her
by proving his own unworthiness.
Attending a party at her home he
simulates drunkness and behaves
like a riotous, gambling, quarrel
some young blood. Later the
girl learns by chance from Chivy
that Garrick was only acting a
part and that he is about to fight
a duel on her behalf. Rushing to
his apartments to prevent the duel
she encounters her father who is
so struck with Garrick’s nobility
of soul that he dismisses Chivy
and entreats Garrick to sue for
his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Thus Garrick redeems his promise
that he will so act as to cause her
to marry the man of her choice.
The role of Garrick gives Mr.
Taylor splendid opportunities to
display hfs ability as a romantic
actor, and the range of delinea
tion from the decent Garrick to
the drunken braggadocio gives
ample scope to his versatility.
Frank Rhodes left last week for
San Jose, near Laredo, where he
has a position in the post office.
Mrs. Rhodes will follow her hus-
band later. We regret to lose
these citizens but wish them well
in their new home-
vVoodmen Circle will give an
entertainment February 14th, at
the W. O. W. Hall at popular
prices. Also a supper February
22nd at the usual price. ft
Rev. Lee has chosen for his ser-
mon subject Sunday morning,
“Christian Education,” and in-
vites everyone to be present.
dies which depends less on thrill-
ing climaxes for success than on a
delineation of character types such
as we meet in daily life.
Before the story opens the hero
unwittingly compromises a young
girl on board a ship, although he
has never seen her. How that is
possible the story fully accounts
for- To make amends he Signs a
contract of marriage with her
which is binding under the Span-
ish law, but he signs the name of
a friend. Years afterwards he
falls in love with a beautiful girl
he meets in London and his father
hearing of his marriage, but
knowing none of the particulars
sends him in disgrace, to his Bom-
bay house. There he makes good
by discovering that the agent is
dishonest and exposing him. The
girl he loves also goes to India
with her uncle, but his matrimon-
ial tangle with his unknown wife
keeps him silent. In the end the
girl proves to be the unknown
wife, but not until complications
have arisen which produce as fun-
ny a succession of amusing situa-
tion as ever a playwright devised.
Tne play is finely written and is in
the same class with “A Poor Re-
lation,” “Peaceful Valley” and
“ A Gilded Fool.”
SHERIFFS OFFICE IS POPULAR.
The Leader has received two
new announcements for the office
of Sheriff and Tax Collector this
week. A telephone message from
Mack Kercheville last Thursday
authorized us to place his name in
the announcement column for that
office. Mack is a product of this
county and has many friends
throughout its length and breadth
who will stand by him. He prom-
ises to fill the office to the best of
bis ability and asks the support of
the voters.
Another Frio county boy in the
person of John L. Hess author-
ized us to place his name in the
same column. Air. Hess has re-
sided in this county for more than
thirty years and has spent a great
many of these years as a ranger
and deputy sheriff and his frieuds
think that in him they have a
man made of the right kind of
metal to fill the office. He is sub-
ject to the Democratic primaries
and solicits the support o f the
voters.
The subject of the sermon at the
Baptist church next Sunday morn-
ing will be “Is the Practice of Re-
stricted Communion Scriptural?”
Pastor Blailock makes this special
announcement with the yiew main-
ly* of securing a large dttenSance
of his own people; and incidental-
ly for the*information of others.
The principles that govern Bap-
tists’ in relation to the supper will
be presented in a brotherly spirit.
