Cemetery Association.
The Cemetery Society met with
Mrs. L, R. Carpenter Friday,
January 2, and combined busi-
ness with pleasure.
Promptly at 3 o’clock the presi-
dent, Mrs. W. R. Williamson,
called the society to order, ask-
ing Mrs. Carpenter to lead in
prayer. We all voiced her words,
giving God much praise for the
goodness, mercy and love be-
stowed upon us the past year,
1902.
The Society is one that every
lady can and should have an in-
terest in. We wish more of the
ladies would come and join. We
meet the first Friday in every
month at the Episcopal church.
The following officers were
elected:
Mrs. W. R. Williamson, re-
elected president; Mrs. W. F.
Barnes, vice-president; Mrs. L.
R. Carpenter, secretary; Mrs. J.
H. Andrew, treasurer.
We wish to thank the gentle-
men who so nobly respond to
our every call, and also for the
liberal monthly collection. We
are doing a good work, but want
to do better. We can keep the
sexton at work only two weeks
out of each month. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
After adjournment we had an
old fashioned candy pulling which
we enjoyed very much. Thank-
ing Mrs. Carpenter for such a
pleasant afternoon, and we hope
to have the pleasure of meeting
with her again.
May God’s richest blessings be
on her and hers is the wish of the
entire Cemetery Society.
A Member.

sort, low excursion rates, tickets on

Mr. and Mrs. Harry D. Brown,
now making their home here,
made the Leader a pleasant call
Monday. They were married
Sunday afternoon at Burnet, the
bride being a Miss Crews, of that
place. Mr. Brown has been
time-keeper for the H. & T. C.
railroad from almost the begin-
ning of the work at this place.
He has a regular job with the
railroad, and will probably make
his home at Ennis in the future.
The young people have our con-
gratulations.
William Gee is home from a
tour of almost the entire United
States, and he did not come alone,
either, for he brought with him a
nice young lady from Mississippi,
who will make her home here
and with him. He was married
at Kilmichael, Mississippi, Dec.
25. He is a good hustler for
business and the lady is to be
congratulated in securing him.
Congratulations, me boy.
To My Friends.
I have purchased an interest
in the business of the Little Lum-
ber Company, and I would be
glad to have your trade, and to
the general public I extend a
New Year’s greeting and would
be pleased to meet all interested
in the purchase of lumber.
C. E. MARTIN.
Tax-Assessor Jordan is al-
ready out among the citizens
finding out how poor they are
this year. It is an astonishing
fact that most people are worth
less on the first of January of
each year than at any other
period of their lives. Mr. Jor-
dan makes a good officer, and
there has been a gradual growth
in values since he came into of-
fice.
V. ARMSTRONG
Has white cornmeal made on
Tom Alexander’s rocks.
We take this method of notify-
ing the ladies that we have al-
ready placed our orders for three
of the best lines of ladies shoes
that come to Texas. The Drew-
Selby Co., Kreppendo^f, Ditt-
man & Co. and the Queen Qual-
ity Calf. Above shoes will soon
be here and we ask our lady
friends that before they buy their
spring shoes to call, as the dif-
ferent lasts and all the latest
style shoes will be shown them.—
R. D. McHenry.
Berry Brothers have moved
their barber shop from the Ste-
vens building to the house next
door west of Mrs. Wachendorfer,
where they will be pleased to see
their friends in need of work in
their line.
Marion D. Townley, well known
here, is now running the Texas
Republican at Valley Mills, and
has our thanks for a copy of a
recent issue. He is also post-
master at that place.
A wreck of a double header
freight train just below Kempner
Monday night caused the mail to
be very late Tuesday. So far as
we are able to learn there was
no one seriously hurt.
Tom Alexander advertises
some valuable real estate for sale
in this issue. See his notice
elsewhere.
The Knights of Pythias had
their annual installation of of-
ficers Monday night at their hall,
and then adjourned to the Barnes
building on the north side of 3rd
street where they had their an -
nual supper or banquet. Their
lady friends and a few others
were present at the installation
and supper, and a pleasant time
was had by all. The names of
the officers as installed were pub-
lished some weeks ago, immedi-
after the election.
Laundry Work is Cash.
Finding it almost impossible to
make collections by the month,
we have decided to work for cash
only, in the future. We hereby
give notice that all work will be
strictly cash and all laundry must
be delivered by us or called for
Saturday. We will not open on
Sunday, even to deliver work.
Please remember this, as we
mean every word of it.
J. F. Smith and Wife.
The organization of the Lam-
pasas Commercial Company was

tion of officials for the current
year. Following are the officers

dent; J. C. Ramsey, vice-presi-
dent; J. W. Murray, secretary;

ar-id manager. The directors are

organization will be ready for
business in a few weeks at most,
and will move into the Markward

varied stock of goods, consist-
of everything usually carried in
a first class dry goods house, in-
cluding notions, clothing, hats,
shoes, millinery, etc. They will
invite your trade through The
Leader.
For Sale.
751 acres of good land in Mc-
Anely’s Bend, out of the Burwell
Kendric survey; plenty of timber,
grass and water; one-half mile

four-wire fence, cedar posts.
Tom S. Alexander,
Feb. 1. Lampasas, Tex.
L. W. McCrea, of the Nix
country, was here Tuesday and
paid his respects and two sub-
scriptions to The Leader. He is
a successful stockman and farm-
er and knows how to make the
ends meet in this country, no
matter how great a cry of hard
times may come.
James Deeriug1.
Col. James Deering, a former
resident of Lampasas, died at the
Soldiers’ Home in California, De-
cember 13th, last.
After leaving Lampasas he was
troubled with rheumatism so as
to be almost helpless, and thus
became an inmate of the Home.
Although nearly 90 years of
age, his death was caused by ex-
posure while visiting his children
in Los Angeles, which turned
into a fatal case of pneumonia.
Col. Deering was a man of intel-
ligence, a good citizen and neigh-
bor, and at one time a man of
considerable means. His friends
in Lampasas extend their
warmest sympathy to his chil-
dren in Los Angeles on this tem-
porary separation.
