There is a new druggist in the

G. C. Bierbower is responsible
for one of the biggest fish stories
ever brought in from the Colo-
rado river. He states as a fad;
that a few days since, J. S. Jack-
son, who is now out on the Colo-
rado, was seen up on one side of
the mountain catching fish with
his hands out of the Colorado
river, which was then rolling at
his feet, and that Jackson seemed
to enjoy the sport, and that the
fish did not mind being caught,
for they preferred any state to
that in which they were.
Col. M. A. Crawford, Ferd.
Matthews and other parties had
a big wolf chase Wednesday in
the Abney pasture, three miles
west of town. They captured
three whelps, but the mother wolf
was too swift for them.

who were elected to teach in the

declined to serve, and Miss Beu-

Miss Baker is well known as one
of, the well prepared and progres-
sive teachers of the city, and Mrs.

L. R. Sparks spent a few days
this week in Waco, in attendance
upon tlie State Real Estate Con-
vention, and lie went with some
good advertising- matter in regard
to the business which he and his
father conduct and a few good
lines for Lampasas. Lloyd is a
a great rustler and Lampasas is
glad to welcome him back as a
permanent citizen.
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Carr, of
Bryan, are here to spend the sum-
mer, and are making their home
at Dr. L. G. Lincecum on top of
the hill. Mr. Carr is an invalid,
and hopes to be much benefitted
by the use of the waters and the
pure air of this section. Mrs.
Carr came in and subscribed for

city.
Mrs. England, formerly well
known here, but now living at
Galveston, will give a concert at

rounding country should be there,

J. P. Curran was around at this

mentoes which were highly ap-
preciated. Some samples of fine
Havana cigars were left for the
consideration of the office force,
and a small package of fig jam,
made in Cuba, which the children
pronounced excellent. These and
many other good things were
brought home to Mr. and Mrs
Curran by their daughter, Miss
Alma Yiva, who has been in

ever since before the declaration
of peace, and only returned last
week.

Friday morning at his father’s
home on Mesquite creek 6 miles
southeast of town, little Johnnie
Kuykendall met with rather a
serious accident. He was help-
ing the hands about the reaper
when in some way he got the
middle finger of his left hand,
caught in the cogs of that machine.
He was brought to town and after
examination Drs. Francis and
Munger decided that amputation
was necessary. They succeeded
in successfully taking off the
young man’s finger at the second
joint and now he is around amorg
the boys and will soon be all right
once more.
Miss Glenn Young has been

vices.
