GONE TO MARKET!
nms?
Our Buyer was in the Markets of the East before any other merchant of this section thought
of leaving home. He has found the manufacturers and the wholesale houses anxious for the
trade to begin, and he is buying bargains every day that will not perhaps be equalled later
in the season These goods must begin to arrive soon, and
“ONE THING IS NEEDFUL”
In order to accommodate them, and that is ROOM. We are not conducting a closing out
sale, but for the next month our house-will be the place to find BARGAINS in all lines of
Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Millinery and Clothing. We notified you last week through the
Leader that we were “Cutting and Slashing” the prices, and this Cutting and Slashing will
continue until the fall trade begins, so come and get what you want in Summer Goods at once.

of her duties there about the

six applicants for tue position,
and there will be 25 or 30 pupils.
Lampasas people all congratulate
Miss Jennings on her success.
The Racket Store is still Selling

Sam M. Vernon, formerly pro-
prietor of the Comanche Chief,
and now owner of the Pecan Val-
ley News at Brownwood, has been
appointed Census Supervisor of
the fourth district of Texas. Mr.
Vernon has worked long and
faithfully for the Democratic
party, and so far as the Leader
knows this is the first effort of the
party to in any way take cogni-
zance of the value of his services.
He is fully competent to do the
work , or to supervise it, as he
must do, and the honor was well
aBd worthily bestowed.
H. P. Edwards, Jr., came home
Monday night, or rather Tuesday
morning from his fishing jaunt to
the Colorado river, and he re-
ports that most of the boys were
able to wait on themselves when
he left the camp, but thait there
was considerable apprehension
about snakes, and all were dis-
posed to use the little medicine
the crowd had left very freely,
that in case any of them should
be bitten, they would be properly
protected. /
Attention is directed to the an-
nouncement of Hon. D. W. Phil-
lips of a competitive examination
which is to be held at both Lam-
pasas and Burnet on the 19th
day of August. This is an im-
portant matter to any young per-
sons in this section who de-
sire to become teachers, or who
j may be already in that profession,
j and desire to secure better quali-
1 fications. The successful com-
petitors in these examinations
will have about one third of the
the expense of the term of the
session furnished them by the
state, and books and tuition will
be furnished free. The school is
perhaps the best in the south for
the purpose of training teachers,
and the moral surroundings are
excellent. Let the aspiring
young men and women of these
two counties attend these exami-
nations, and at least show what
metal is in them.
Again the Leader has the
finest peaches which grew in the
orchard of that prince of friends,
George Bauerfind. The old gen-
tleman delivered them in person,
and the wife pronounced them
excellent.
Single harness $5.25 and up.
Taylor & Poole.
Many of the places which suf-
fered from the overflow and high
waters on the Brazos river have
given notice to Governor Sayers
that they need no further aid from
the people of the state, and that
they will at once proceed to plant
quick growing crops, and thus
become self-sustaining. This will
be gratifying intelligence to those
who were so ready to contribute
to the neccessities of their fellow
men who were in distress, but it
will possibly be still more grati-
fying to those who would not
contribute anything until they
found it was a real necessity.
Charles Beall is not yet able
for the duties of the office, and
has gone to the country up in
Hamilton county to take a short
outing. He will perhaps be gone
for a week or more, and his many
friends here hope that he will re-
turn completely recovered. He
will spend the time with his rela-
tive, Mr. Joe Beall, who lives in
the neighborhood of McGirk.
The Leader has gained the
friendship and admiration of the
entire Frazer family, and all on
account of a little local notice,
advertising a lost animal, which
was a favorite of the family. A
few lines in the Leader brought
her in after she had almost been
given up for lost.
Rev. J. W. Sherman, pastor of
the Methodist church at Burnet
and Marble Falls, passed through
Lampasas Monday on his waj to
attend the meeting of the district
conference of the Brownwood dis-
trict, which was to have convened
yesterday at Ballinger.
There will be services at the
Catholic Church next Sunday, tire
30th of July. All persons are in_
vited to attend these services.
J. N. Long, one of the fine old
bachelors, of which Lampasas
county has a liberal supply, was
here Tuesday with a contribution
for the flood sufferers,, and made
it convenient to leave about half
a bushel of fine peaches at the
Leader office, for which he has
due credit on the books and a
vote of thanks besides.
Monday the 14th inst the pri-
mary pupils of the Lampasas
Music School, with their many
young friends, enjoyed a social
gathering- at the hospital home
of their teacher, Mrs. Nellie Davis
Talking, walking, and the games.
“Clap in and Clap out”, “Oranges
and Lemons”, passed off an even-
ing which will long be remem-
bered by the young folks. Re-
freshments were served to gratify
the inner man of all present,
which numbered 40.
Judge W. B. Abney is at home,
and so is Mrs, Abney, and all the
little Abneys are at home from a
summer outing, pait of them hav-
ing been on a visit to the grand-
ma at Rockport, and the Judge
and his wife having made a visit
to Virginia and Tennessee.
Friend Abney is highly pleased
with his trip, and there is no
question but that he believes
Lampasas one of the best spots
on earth, and there are others who
fully agree with him.
All the molasses barrels you
want at Stokes Bros.
The Summer Normal closed
Saturday, the State examinations
having been taken by a large pro-
portion of the attendants. The
school was a great success from
every point of view, and the Lea-
der is much pleased to report this,
as it was largeley through its in-
fluence that the normal was held
here this year,
