"DIED, at hie residence, in Lampasas, Texas,
August 17, 1900,
Dr. L. G. Lincecuh.”
The foregoing simple announce-
ment, published through our lit-
tle city last Saturday morning,
carried with it to the hearts of
many of our oldest citizens irre-
pressible sorrow and regret.
Dr. Lincecum was a Mississip-
ian by birth, but came to Texas
in the early forties with his fa-
ther, who was also a distinguish-
ed physician. Had he lived un-
til the 29th day of this month, he
would have been seventy-two
years old. His first wife was
Miss Lauderdale, sister of the re-
markably typical southern gen-
tleman of the ante-bellum school,
Capt. J. S. Lauderdale, now so-
journing in our city. His second
wife was Miss Rainwater. His
third, and surviving wife, was
Miss Oliphant. Six children sur-
vive him, two by each marriage.
He was stricken with paralysis
on the morning of August 8th,
and lingered in a helpless, pitia-
ble* condition, until death came
to his relief. It should afford
some consolation to know, that
his last illness was free of pain.
For more than half a century
he devoted his best energies of a
vigorous manhood, an educated
mind and sympathetic heart, to
the relief of human suffering.
For twenty-five years his rela-
tions to many of the families of
this community were the closest
that can exist, excepting only the
ties of marriage and of blood.
During all these years, the
writer was intimately acquainted
with him, and shared with him
as far as it was possible to do,
many of his sore trials. These
he had in greater degree than
w most men, but bore them all as a
philosopher should. He was not
a Christian, but a religionist
whose convictions were founded
in sound reason based upon the
recognition of an infinitely wise
and immutable God whose laws
and purposes are fixed. He de-
clared to the writer only a few
months ago, that death had no
terrors for him. Of vast experi-
ence in his profession, he pos-
sessed in addition, extensive
learning upon many subjects not
connected with it. If he had
been endowed with ordinary fi-
nancial ability he would have
died a wealthy man. But, not-
withstanding his long life of in-
cessant labor for his fellowman,
he died poor.
The old doctor has answered
his last call, has passed through
the ordeal of death, which, let us
hope, was for him but a process
of development. The writer
does not doubt, that at the last
grand assize, when the great God
of justice whose judgment is ever
tempered with mercy strikes the
balance sheet of the old doctor’s
life, a triumphant surplus of good
•will be found to his eternal peace.

From Eugene, Oregon. _
Mr. Editor:
Well as I has never seen any-
thing in the Leader from this
part of the state, I will write some
so as to let the people of Texas
know something about the eoun-
try in which we live. I never
will go back on Texas.
This is a very fine country; a
fine fruit crop this year, but the
wheat crop is not as fine
as usual; this is a cheap country
to live in, most everything is
cheaper here than in Texas, but
meat. We have beautiful scen-
ery in this country; the timber is
all on the north sides of the
mountains and grass on the south
side, but I do not know the rea-
son why it is this way.
Eugene is a nice, quiet town,
between four and five thousand
inhabitants. It is situated on the
Williamette river, which is a
very beautiful one.
There are no business houses
in Eugene as large as the ones at
Lampasas; there is one saw mill
in town; the other day there was
enough timber sent down the
river for a million feet of lumber;
there are lots of saw mills in this
country.
The school systems are much
better in this country than in
Texas.
Good churches and good soci-
ety. There are nine different
churches in Eugene, which rep-
resent as many different denomi-
nations.
The state univirsity is in Eu-
gene and is claimed to be a very
fine one; about twenty-five teach-
ers employed there last winter.
School teaching is just about the
same in this country as in Texas,
and most of the teaching is done
by the ladies. This is a delight-
ful climate. It is cool enough
for fire night and morning, and
has been all summer; twilight
lasts until about nine o’clock.
The people say that there is not
much difference between sum-
mer and winter, only it rains a
great deal more in winter than
summer, and roses bloom at
Christmas and New Year. The
people say that it very seldom
snows.
There are ^several j hop yards
close to us and hop picking will
begin in about two or three
weeks. Hops take the place of
cotton in this country.
Irish potatoes do very fine;
six of them have been known to
make a bushel, that is by weight.
Everything in the fruit, vegeta-
ble and grain line is sold by the
pound. Most all kinds of vege-
tables and fruits that grow in the
temperate zone do well here.
The pears and apples hang on
the trees all winter if they are
let alone.
When the people go for an out-
ing, they go to the coast or the
mountains. We are about forty
miles from the coast. Land is
high here but is very fine. Wages
are good, better than in Texas.
The people seem somewhat
lazy and take their time for ev-
erything they do.
The laws are not very good
here; a man can mortgage every-
thing he has, even his home-
stead.
Well, for fear this will find it-
self in the wastebasket," I will
close for this time.

New Itoart Fox Hamilton.
Hamilton, Tex-, Aug. 17.—The
people of Hamilton and Evant are
highly elated over the prospect
of getting the Gulf and Brazos
Valley railroad. Mr. Squires
says the road will be built inside
of eighteen months if the people
give the proper encouragement.
It is also whispered that the sur-
veyors of the Cotton Belt railroad
will survey the line from Gates-
ville to Hamilton within thirty
days. It looks as if Hamilton is
going to take on a boom.
G. C. Cone has been confined
to his. home for more than a week
with some kind of a lung trouble.
We hope soon to to see him up
again.
Judge Matthews left Sunday
morning for Meridian, where the
district court is in session, and
where he will represent Lampas-
as county in the suit between this
and Coryell counties in regard to
the proper boundary line of the
counties.
D. E. Campbell, who left some-
thing more than a month ago to
look for a better country in the
northern part of the state, is
again at home in this county,
and it is quite likely that he will
remain .here, as he is figuring on
renting the B. C. Greenwood
place, just west of town.
Old fashioned ginger cakes,
cakes and jumbles, ginger snaps
and tea cakes for only 20c per

J. M. Roberts, who has been
living in the Nix neighborhood
for several years, will leave in a
few days for Nocona, Texas,
where he will make his home in
the future. He will make a good
citizen in any country.
W. S. Cunningham, who is-
making the face for county com-
missioner in precinct No. 3, was
in town Tuesday and made the
Leader a pleasant call.
S. L. Bodenhamer, of Naruna,
was here Tuesday, and called on
the Leader. Knowing something
of machinery, he was much in -
terested in seeing our engine
drive the presses with speed and
ease.
