There is a very dangerous
place in the side walk just west
of Middlebrook’s blacksmith
shop, and it is possible that the
city might get a damage suit on
its hands if the break is not re-
paired. Let the city fathers get
some of the discarded lumber and
repair the place at once.

chases, and purchased a dollar’s
worth of the Leader among the
other good things he took home
with him.
A Mother Tells How She Saved
Her Little Daughter's Life.
I am the mother of eight children
and have had a great-deal of experi-
ence with medicines. Last summer my
little daugnter had the dysentery in its
worst form. We thought she would
die. I tried everything I could think
of, but nothing seemed to do her any
good. I saw by an advertisement in
our paper that Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and I sent and
got a bottle at once. It proved to be
one of the very best medicines we ever
had in the house. It saved my little
daughter’s life. I am anxious for ev-
ery mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had I known it at first
it would have saved me a great deal of
anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F.

T. P. P. Berry is one of several
brothers, who all have three ini-
tials, and his are now appearing
regularly on a copy of the Lea-
der which goes to his address at
the Lampasas post office. This
writer knows all these brothers,
and they would be hard to sur-
pass in any country.
J. H. Buttrill, who recently
purchased the Brooks ranch in
the western part of the county,
was in town Monday to see about
the title of some other lands in
that section which he desires to
purchase.
J. T. Brown, of Lometa, was
shaking hands with his numerous
friends in the city Monday. He
is one of the most useful men in
the county, for when water fails
he always goes down under the
ground and always succeeds in
getting water in great quantity.
John W. Earnest arrived home
Monday from a visit to the west,
where he went with his old friend,
W. A. Squires, who is looking
over the country with a view of
building a railroad.

The people who advertise are
the people who are recognized as
doing the business in all lines.
Other people may do some busi-
ness, but they nor the world
know anything of it. Advertising
will help any business, no matter
how strong, and it has saved
many a weak business from
bankruptcy. The road to suc-
cess runs through the printing
office, try to obscure it as you
may.
Yes, there are some new peo-
ple in Lampasas town and county,
and there will be more new faces
in the next year. This country
is coming to the front, and soon
will be one of the leading coun-
ties in the state.
It Helped Win Battles.
Twenty-nine officers and men wrote
from the front to say that for scratches,
Bruises, cuts, wounds, sore feet and
stiff joints, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is
the best in the world. Same for burns,

box. Cure guaranteed. Sold by Key

The biggest cat fish of the sea-
son was on exhibition Friday at
Townsen’s market. It weighed
sixty-two pounds, was four .feet
long, 1.7 inches across the head
and came from the Colorado river.
Mr. Townsen had no trouble in
retailing it out to his customers.
W. A. Squires left Friday
morning for Llano, Fredricks-
burg and Comfort, but took oc-
casion to hand in his dollar and
have the Leader sent to his ad-
dress for a year as he passed
through this place.
The first bale of new cotton
was brought in Friday morning
about seven o’clock, and, and
was ginned by Tom Alexander.
C. N. Witcher sold it at auction,
and Bob Leggett was the highest
bidder, paying ten and 9, quarter
cents a pound for it. It was
raised oh the Lampasas river be-
low Kempner, and was brought
in by Bob Bell,
The fall trade will be along one
of these days, knocking at the
doors of the Lampasas business
men, and it is safe to say that
the largest crowd and the most
money will go into the houses
where the invitations have been
steady and constant. It is now
considered a violation of good
manners to go rushing in where
you are not invited. Put your-
self and your business in position
to receive the trade which is com-
ing by making your announce-
ment through the columns of the
local papers.
People from all sections of the
country are complaining of the
condition of the roads. There is
no feature of a county’s progress
that calls for more serious con-
sideration than good roads. It
is one thing that every section is
entitled to and ought to have.
Good dirt roads are as necessary
as schools and every effort should
be made by county officials and
citizens to get them in first class
condition.
A Letter.
We are in receipt of a letter
from Prof. T. H. P. Duncan, the
well known Oculist and optician
who makes regular visits here,
Dr. Duncan is well known to
nearly all our citizens and many
are loud in their praise of his
ability. Numbers of our people
have been relieved of longstand-
ing eye troubles and saved from
blindness by the doctors skill and
knowledge of the eye and its dis-
eases.
Dr. Duncan is a graduate in
medicine as well as several opti-
cal schools and is now in New
York city attending a special
course of lectures and clinics on
the eye, ear, nose, throat and
lungs. Dr. Duncan also tells us
that he is purchasing a complete
line of the latest American and
European makes of instruments,
including microscopes and ap-
pliances for bacteriological re-
searches and diagnoses. The
doctor will spend four weeks»in
the Chicago hospitals and then
will return to Texas to resume
his practice.
Dr. Duncan will spend several
weeks in our city every three
months. This will enable all in
need of treatment to consult him.
Those having eye, ear, nose or
throat trouble should wait for
Dr. Duncan. He will be here in
October.
Mrs. J. D. Harris and little son,
Willie, came down Friday morn-
ing for a visit to relatives and
friends here.
