Having just returned from a
camping trip to Lampasas Springs
and San Saba county, I send you
a few notes, which will doubtless
be of interest to your readers.

the famous Hancock springs. It
is doubtful whether nature ever
in the treatment of these Elberta
trees seems to have been a “mas-
terly inactivity” on the part of
the various owners. As to the
philosophy of the thing, how the
tap roots play around below, and
surface-feeding ones amuse
themselves on the top, and all
that, Mr. Stringfellow has told
What I know

firm is going to advertise this
fall, that he may yet conclude to
do so. These inquiries are all
the result of a small local which
appeared in the Leader last week.
Suppose it had been an offer of
goods at a bargain, and every
customer had spoken of it, would
not the firm have been convinced
of the utility and the necessity of
advertising. There are other
firms in Lampasas who could
learn a valuable lesson from this
paragraph.

LAMPASAS
Has well graded streets, an electric
light plant, a telephone system with
long distance connections, a system of
water works with eight miles of pipe
and a natural supply of water that can
not be excelled either in quantity or
quality. We have six churches that
would be creditable to a much larger
city Our present population is about
3,000 and is steadily increasing with the
natural development of the country at
the rate of one or two hundred annually.
Our business interests are supported by
a diversified agricultural and stock
country, and owing to the advance in
the latter, we are fairly prosperous.
This office has for sale a supply
-of warrantee deeds, vendor’s lien
notes, and plain promissory notes,
all of which can be had at prices
less that yon will pay abroad. We

shoe bend, thus affording a nat-
ural camp ground, eucxcelled, if
equalled in the whole country.
Sulphur creek encircles nearly
the whole bend of 200 acres, thus
furnishing abundant water for all
purposes and a bathing place at
night for those who do not care
to use the bath houses.
The weather was delightful,
the nights being so cool that we
had to cover up well to be com-
fortable, which, with the total
absence of mosquitoes and scarce-
ly any flies, furnished ideal con-
ditions of camp life. The citi-
zens of Lampasas do everything
to make the visitors have a pleas-
ant time, such as drives in the
evening, hops in the pavilion at
night, and invitations to dinner
from the citizens were a few of
the enjoyments, and I will always
look back with pleasure on the
days spent thore.
Why so few Texans patronize
those magnificent springs is a
wonder, for the experiences of all
who who were there were very
gratifying, and the attendance
next year promises to be much
larger. One of the chief pleas-
ures I enjoyed was a visit from
Mr. Stringfellow, whom I met at
College Station a few weeks be-
fore and notified to have ready
for inspection that famous “hole
in the ground” orchard which is
causing so much talk and fun in
the ranks of the orthodox breth-
ren, that I had a great curiosity
to see it for myself. On hearing
that I was in camp, Mr. String-
fellow called and took me out on
a very high hill about a mile from
town, and while he did not, like
the devil on the mount, ask me
to fall down and worship him, he
did strongly insinuate that it
would be the proper thing to take
off my hat to the peach trees that
survived his grasshopper medi-
cine, and which, I am bound to
say, showed remarkable growth
and thrift for trees that had been
planted with absolutely no roots
in an inch hole in the ground.
As he has told you, I tried in
vain to pull a well grown one up,
but we did pull up and examine
several where the dirt failed to
reach the bottom of the holes,
and sure enough, they were
straight sticks, with a quarter to
a half-inch projections where the
side roots had been cut off, This,
Mr. Stringfellow says, was all
wrong, as they caught the earth
in some places, and that the trees
should be pruned to a clean,
straight stick. While I am not
much of a judge, as far as I
could see, this orchard promises
to be a success, and that is the
main point—even if the tops were
set in the ground and the roots
in the air. Results are what are
wanted, and if good ones are ob-
tained by a cheap, but out-of-the
way method, why should any-
body kick?
Now, as to the Elberta peach
Mr. Moore’s orchard
As Mr. String-
saw them,
sed around

can testify to the fine Elberta
peaches that came from Mr.
Moore’s orchard, as. he was one
of our party.

If the business men of Lam-
pasas would give the Leader the
advertising fwhich they could in
reason give it, the paper could be
made a power for the good of the
country and the city. As long,
as it must depend on
the few instead of the many, the
paper cannot do what it would
like to do, nor will the land flour-
ish as it should.

Dr. A. Carmichael, of Gran-
bury, Hood county, was here the
past week, visiting relatives and
taking an outing. He killed a
fine deer on the Colorado, learned
much of the town and country,
and went home much pleased
with this section. He called on
the Leader, of which he is a reg-
ular reader, and paid it one of
the highest possible compliments.
He says it ranks with the best
weekly papers in Texas.

School Notice.
Having been solicited to take a
school I will begin a private class
at the residence of Mrs. Proctor,
September 17. Tuition $3 per
month. Hours from 9 to 2:30 p.

Fannie M. Rugeley.
Married, Sunday morning at
residence of Mr. S. J. Murray in
this city, Miss Eleanor Murray to
Mr. Roy Kelley, of Temple, Rev.
J. M. Hunt, pastor of the Baptist
church officiating. Both the
contracting parties formerly lived
at Lampasas and both have many
friends here who will wish them
well in their new relation. Mr.
Kelly is the cashier of the Fair,
one of the large mercantile es-
tablishments of Temple, and they
will make their home there. The
Leader joins their many friends
in good wishes.
The young folks were to have
enjoyed a party at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Omar Smith last
night, and it is safe to say that
they had a fine time.
Some time next week we hope
to have the minutes of the Lam-
pasas Missionary Baptist Asso-
ciation ready for delivery. The
copy is now in the hands of the
printers, and as soon as it can be
turned out it will be ready for
delivery. E. T. Jordan, the
popular secretary, knows how to
prepare such a work for publica-
tion.

San Antonio Fair and Exposition
There is no longer any doubt but
what the San Antonio Fair this fall will
be the greatest occasion in the history
of that city.
The fair association begun early their
work of preparation. The grounds have
been improved and beautified and new
buildings erected, Expansion every-
where visible, is fully up to require-
ments of the unprecedented demand for
space and increased number of exhibits
in every department.
The federal government of Mexico
and the governors of the several Mexi
can states are now preparing exhibits
in mine, mill, factory and other pro-
ductions famous to that country, and
of great interest to the business man
and investment seeker.
The cattle exhibit will be the crown-
ing feature of the fair; stall room for
over one thousand head of registered
cattle has already been engaged; spe-
cial attention has been given to the in-
troduction of range cattle, ana induce-
ments offered to cattle men to compete
for prizes. Exhibits from the famous
ranches of Joe Todd, Robert Kleburg,
John Kennedy and others arranged for.
Every available space has been taken
in machinery, implement and expo-
sition halls, and a lively interest is
manifest on part of exhibitors of tlip
horse, swine, sheep and poultry; ample
space has been allotted these depart-
ments and the promise is something
great.
The fish, exhibit in preparation by the
agent of the U. S. fish commission and
by firms and individuals located at
points along the Texas coast, and the
beautiful ice palace to be constructed
by Harry Landa, of New Braunfels,
will be very attractive features.
The large sum of $12,000 in cash
prizes devoted to the racing depart-
ment, will attract many famous horses
and a good time is promised the many
who desire to witness the triumphs of
the horse.
Many of the best bands of Mexico and
Texas will be in daily attendance, and
the occasion enlivened by numerous
out-door concerts, band contests and
parades.
San Antonio will spare no' effort or
expense to make this a joyous and prof-
itable season for all who attend.
Very low round trip rates will be
authorized by the I. & G. N. railroad
and its connections so that everybody
can attend.

nearest railroad agent or to
