She that has a wise husband
must entice him to an eternal
dearness by the veil of modesty
and the grave robes of chastity,
the ornament of meekness, and
the jewels of faith and charity.
She must have no paintings but
blushings; her brightness must
be purity, and she must shine
round about with sweetness and
friendship, and she shall be
pleasant while she lives and de-
sired when she dies.—Jeremy
Taylor.
Lampasas ought to be a city.
This fact is so evident to the pas-
sing observer that it needs no
comment. People who come
here from abroad and see the
wonderful amount of mineral
water above the ground wonder
why the city has not already
been built. No place in the
world has larger or finer sulphur
springs and no waters yet dis-
covered have a more beneficial
effect upon the human system.
Indigestion and all kindred dis-
eases yield readily to the action
of these waters on the system,
So well is this fact known that it
is a rare thing for any of our peo-
ple to take medicine of any kind
for complaints of this character,
as they use the waters freely, and
are relieved. Skin diseases yield
readily to proper use of these
waters. Their use in bathing and
drinking results in driving all
impurities from the blood, and
the patient gets well without oth-
er treatment. Rheumatism gives
way readily when properly treat-
ed in the use of the waters here,
and many other troubles are so
readily relieved that it would
take columns to tell of all the dis-
eases for which this water proves
a panacea. The Hanna springs
surely have the finest medicinal
qualities, and their proper use
will relieve almost any complaint,
except those of the respiratory
organs. Such a quantity and
quality of water in any place in
the north would attract the at-
tention of capital, and it would
be but a short while until a wa-
tering place would draw patients
from all parts of the globe. Some
efforts have been made in this
direction by the owners of both
the spring properties, but the
burning of the Park hotel some
years ago has driven away the
enterprise which the owners of
that property might have put into
attracting capital and population
to this place, and unless some in-
terest is manifested by the local
/
capitalists the owners of that
property will not likely spend
any more money in improving
that which they already have
here. Something ought to be
done that would bring these wa-
ters to the notice of the people
who have money lying idle and
that would be glad to own or con-
trol such a property. With a
few thousand dollars spent on
the property of the two springs
there might be built up a city
here of such proportions as would
attract the attention of other
capital, and in a few years there
would be a city such as the nature
of the surroundings demand. Let
all of our local people take an in-
terest in bringing these springs
to the notice of others, and soon
they will be here.
Word & Witcher report a good
many prospectors in from the
cotton only section, but who are
merely looking with a view to
sell out below if they like, and
from these they expect business

On Wednesday night a gay
crowd of young people betook
themselves to the hospitable
home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
Northington to spend an evening-
in enjoyment, not soon to be
forgotten by those who attended.
The event was in honor of Miss
Hattie Sparks, of Temple, who is
visiting Miss Rachael Northing-
ton. Vocal music was furnished
by Misses Williamson and An-
drew. Refreshments being-
served, the guests participated
in dancing and other amusements
and departed to their homes in
the early hours of morning.

those present : Norman Town-

erty for sale. See them when
you want a bargain in real es-

The Leader now goes out each
week to eleven hundred bona
fide subscribers, principally with-
in our own trade region. If you
want the people to know any-
thing put it in the Leader. Ev-
erybody reads it, and most of its
readers ape able to buy goods
and pay for them.
J. B. Briggs, of Kempner, was
exhibiting a stalk of the Georgia
goober pea yesterday. It was
like everything else this year,
prolific. He has about one-
fourth of an acre, and if the Lam-
pasas market desires a home
supply of this popular pea, Mr.
Briggs can furnish it. He also
had some samples of his cotton
crop, of which he has thirty acres
and it will bring a large yield.
It were better for a man to be
subject to any vice than to
drunkenness; for all other vani-
ties and sins are recovered, but
a drunkard will never shake off
the delight of beastiless; for the
longer it possessed a man the
more he will delight in it, and the
older he groweth the more he
shall be subject to it; for it dull-
eth the spirits and destroyeth the
body as ivy doth the old tree, or
as the worm that engendereth in
the kernel of the nut.—Sir Wal-
ter Raleigh.
