Lampasas probably has more
self-made men and locally-made
capital than any other town of
its size in Texas, or elsewhere.
Here you find stores which will
compare favorably with any city
in Texas, and when you begin to
inquire about them, you will find
that they all originally belonged
to men who were practically
raised here, as far as their busi-
ness is concerned. Beginning in
nearly every instance with small
capital, they have added to their
stock and business from year tc
year, until the present grand
proportions have been reached.
In many instances these busi-
nesses are conducted in the
houses owned by the occupants,
and rents no longer trouble them
in any way. Most of them are
also free from debt, and many of
them have good bank accounts
in addition to having their busi-
ness in fine shape.
Take the professions, and al-
most the same state of af-/
fairs will appear. No town of
its size in the state can probably
boast of more able men at the
bar than can Lampasas show.
Men educated in the law, as well
as in the literature of the day;
men whose word is as good as
their bond; men whose honor and
integrity can be relied upon, and
men worthy of every respect and
confidence.
In the line of medical' practi-
tioners much the same state ex-
ists. Here we have men who are
specialists, men who are general
practitioners, but withal, men
upon whose skill and ability all
can rely.
It is the same in other lines.
People who hear our ministers
say they are the equal of such
men as fill city pulpits. Our
teachers rank high in their pro-
fession, and altogether, Lampa-
sas has nothing in the way of
laggards, and no room for them.
May this state of affairs continue
to exist.
San Saba Items.
From The News.
Dixon Carr got his hand caught
in the governor belt of the en-
gine at Allen’s gin Tuesday, and
but for his forethought to catch
the belt with his other hand, he
would have been badly hurt. As
it was, he is only bruised.
E. E. Risien reports the pecan
crop two weeks earlier than he
ever knew before, and says the
samples are high class. The first
gathered was on August 31,
against September 14 for any
previous year within his knowl-
edge. He says the crop is light,
but that the quality is fully up
to the standard.
W. F. Gray, of Valley Springs,
was down Tuesday and pur-
chased a half interest in the
building on Bridge street, lately
built by our Mr. J. T. White.
The Masonic fraternity have
bought from L. McClary the 31
foot wide lot fronting on the pub-
lic square, on which Hadden’s
butcher shop and Lauterstein’s
store stands. They contemplate
building a two story building on
this lot —the lower story for rent
and the upper story for lodge
purposes.
A New York City justice of
the peace has ruled that a man
can not be disorderly in a sa-
loon, and many people will be-
lieve his ruling correct.
J. L. Hoffman, locomotive fire-
man for the Cotton Belt out of
Pine Bluff, Ark., is here to spend
a time visiting relatives and
friends.
Advice to Farmers.
Calvert, Texas, Sept. 9.—Col.
E. S. Peters, president of the
Cotton Growers’ Association, in
conversation with a newspaper
reporter today, strongly advises
the farmers to hold their cotton
for 12 cents, and market it very
slowly, as those who hold it long-
est will get the most for it, as
there is no doubt but that when
the true condition is known, there
will be a great scramble for cot-
ton that is late. He further states
that the boll weevil is surely and
gradually extending its sphere of
danger, and the fact that we can
never have another 10,000,000
bale crop, will make cotton go
up to 15 cents before another
crop is planted, and that on ac-
count of the general rains and
winds, the cotton crop will be
decreased 10 per cent.
' From 148 to 92 Pounds.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
'cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner. Marion, Ind. who was entirety
cured by the use of One Minute
Cough Cure. She says: The coughing
and straining so weakened me that I
ran down in weight from 148 to 92
pounds. I tried a number of remedies
to no avail until I used One Minute
Cough Cure. Four bottles of this won-
derful remedy cured me entirety of the
cough, strengthened my lungs and re •
stored me to my normal weight, health
and strength. Sold by Key Bros.
A “Fair” Proposition.
Of course you want to see the
World’s Fair. “Katy” offers you
the chance to go for a very small
sum. On August 27 and Sep-
tember 3, the M. K. & T. Ry. will
sell tickets good in chair cars and
coaches at an exceptionally low
rate. You cannot afford to miss
this opportunity. “Katy’s”
agents will tell you what the rate
is from your station, or write a
letter to “Katy,” Department C,
Dallas, Texas. Ask for a street
map of St. Louis, and World’s
Fair Guide.
The Stomach is the Man.
A weak stomach weakens the man
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without first re-
storing health and strength to the stom-
ach. A weak stomach cannot digest
enough food to feed the tissues and re-
vive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure digests what you eat, cleanses and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach, and cures indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

San Angelo has been made a
common point by the railroad
commission of Texas, and that
means score another for that
progressive city.
Eliott Hodge, of Hodge Sta-
ten, has returned home from a
few weeks’ visit to relatives in
Brownwood.
Buy a home! Do not delay
another day, but get a home. A
year or two will make an im-
mense difference. Today $100
will make a respectable payment
on a valuable plat of ground.
Next year two hundred or five
hundred perhaps will not make
an equivalent payment. Get a
home. Become identified with
one spot of Texas dirt. Be able
to call some place home. It will
require very little effort to secure
a home today. What you pay
for rent will almost pay for a
home, and the satisfaction of
calling a place “home’’ and
knowing that it belongs to you—
is not that worth much? Get a
home—get it now—you’ll never
regret it.—Strawn Enterprise.
World‘s Fair Visitors.
The pavilion erected by the Frisco
Rock Island Systems at Main Entrance
of the World’s Fair is surety a place of
no little interest, in fact it is one of the
many attractions. Visitors to the
World, s Fair are cordially
invited to inspect the Frisco Rock Is-
land System building. Here will be
found a place of rest, courteous atten-
tion, besides, there will be distributed
free of cost, souvenirs and descriptive
literature of the Great Southwest. The
reader will, undoubtedly, overlook an
important attaction in case of a failure
to visit the Frisco—Rock Island System
pavilion.
Remember, Main Entrance World's
Fair.
A Tribute to Mrs. J. R. Key.
While yet in love with life and
duty, and had not passed on life’s
highway the stone that marks the
highest point, but being weary
for a moment, dear sister Lula
Key fell into that sleep that kisses
down her eyelids still, and passed
through the portal into the home
where God shall wipe away all
tears, and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying,
neither shall there be any more
pain.
A beautiful life has gone from
us; how we shall miss her, yet
after all it must be best, for “God
doeth all things well.”
Her life was one of devotion
and self-sacrifice; a friend to all,
with willing hands gave alms.
Were every one for whom she did
some loving service to bring a
blossom to her grave, she would
sleep beneath a wilderness of
roses.
Realizing that our loss is her
gain, be it resolved:
That the Ladies’ Aid Society of
Lampasas Baptist church extend
to the sorrowing husband and
loved ones our heartfelt sympa-
thy, and commend them to God
who hath said, “My grace is suf-
ficient for thee.” May that One
who was a man of sorrow and ac-
quainted with grief, give comfort
and peace to their stricken hearts,
and fold them always with his
arm.
Be it resolved further: That a
copy of these resolutions be sent
Brother Key and sorrowing fam-
ily, also a copy be given each of
our local papers, and a copy sent
the Baptist Standard, for publi-
cation.
Mrs. Martin,
Mrs. Airharc,
Mrs. Lucas,
Committee.
W. R. White received this,
week a very fine Shropshire ram
to place with his small flock of
sheep which he keeps around
his farm. Mr. White believes in
having good stock, and his
Shropshire sheep have shown
that they are as well suited to
this climate and the surround-
ings as they are to some of the
older states. Mr. White says
they require no more care than
the smaller breeds, and give
a much better return where they
are kept for the home pastures.
Col. H. M. Stringfellow has
the thanks of The Leader for ap-
preciated information. Speaking
of the boll weevil in this section,
Mr. Stringfellow says, there are
plenty of them in the cotton just
beyond the convent, and that he
is satisfied that they are numer-
ous all over the country.
George Dale is in with calves,
which he sold to a party at Fort
Worth, to be delivered at the de-
pot here. There is a good de-
mand for this class of stock, and
parties who are scarce of grass
are disposing of them, and they
usually bring good prices. Two
hundred of these calves brought
$5.00 per head. ,
Miss Sue Spittler, sister of Mrs;,
Tbeo. Arbuckle, left this after-
noon for China, Texas, where
she will have a place in the pub-
lic schools. She will learn all
about rice this year, for that is
in the section where this cereal
is raised to perfection.
A J3oy’s Wild Ride fox’ t«iie.
With family arouud expecting him to
die, and a son riding for life, 18 miles,
to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W, H.
Brown, Leesville, Ind., endured death’s
agonies from asthmabut this wonder-
ful medicine gave instant relief and
soon cured him. He writes: “I now
sleep soundly every night.” Like mar-
velous cures of consumption, pneumo-
nia bronchitis, coughs, colds and grip
prove its matchless merit for all throat
and lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles
50c and $1. Trial bottles free at Key
Bros, drugstore.
GIRL’S SBeRET.
"Aunt Cassie came to visit us and she
saw I was nervous, had the fidgets all the
time, and she asked me many questions,
and finally said, ‘ Why, you dear, sweet girl,
it’s not your temper that’s bad, it’s your
constitution that’s out of kilter. You sit
right down now and write a letter to Dr
Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y., tell him all your
symptoms ’—and so I did. It wasn’t long
before I had a long reply, carefully going
over my case and telling me just what to
do. I date my present happiness and little
Cupid’s return to the very day I sat down
to write that letter to Dr. Pierce, for his
advice was so good and his ‘ Favorite Pre-
scription ’ worked such a complete change
in me that now my former cheerfulness
and good health—not to say anything of
good looks—are restored to me. I have
summoned Tom back to my side and we
are to be married in June.”
The proprietors and makers of Doctor
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 for
any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness
Prolapsus, or Falling of the Womb, which
they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair
and reasonable trial of their means of cure.
It is natural that a woman who has been
cured of womanly disease by "Favorite
Prescription” should believe that it will
cure others. It is natural too that she
should recommend to other women the
medicine which has cured her. It is
such commendation which has made the
name of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip-
tion a household word for the past thirty-
eight years.
Milt Harmon, of the Izoro sec-
tion, was in town a day or two
this week. He is a stockman-
farmer, and nearly always has
something to sell when he comes
to town.
A Power lor Good.
The pills that are potent in their act-
ion and pleasant in effect are DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers. W S Philpot, of
Albany, Ga. says:“During a bilious at-
tack I took one. Small as it was it did
more good than calomel, blue mass or
any other pill I ever took and at the
same time the effect was pleasant. Lit-
tle Early Risers are certainty an ideal
pill.” Sold by Key Bros.
’Felix Garrett has bought the
Will Pitts barber shop, and will
take charge at once and con-
tinue the business at the same
stand and for a time, at least.
What is File?
In the last analysis nobody knows,but
we do know that it is under strict law.
Abuse that law even slightly, pain re-
sults. Irregular living means derange-
ment of the organs, resulting in consti-
pation, headache or liver trouble Dr.
King’s New Life Pills quickly re-adjust
this. It’s gentle, yet thorough. Only

R. A. Littlefield, of Topsy, is
one of the men who knows where
to trade as well as to sell his pro-
ducts, and hence makes frequent
visits to Lampasas.
Wliat’s in a Name?
/ Everything is in the name when it
'comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E.C.De-
Witt& Co. of Chicago discovered some
years ago how to make a salve from
Witch Hazel that is a specific for pilei,
for blind, bleeding, itching and pro-
truding piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt’s
Salve has no equal. This has given
rise to numerous worthless counterfeits.
Ask for DeWitt’s—the genuine. Sold
tty Key Bros.
W. J3. Garner, of the Topsy
section, was here with cotton and
.•eports that the crop will be much
less than last year- in his com-
munity.
J. W. Moore orders The Daily
Leader to his address at Tishi-
mingo, I. T., where he- has a
large contract for putting in wa-
terworks. His son is there su-
perintending the work, while J.
W. looks after the coming in of
other contracts. \
John Barton and family arrived
last night over the Santa Fe, and
have taken one of the cottages
in the park and will make their
home here for a time. Some
members of the family are not
well, and they brought Dr. Mc-
Caleb of their county along with
them. They will find a hearty
welcome and good health in
Lampasas.
Mrs. J. H. Mitchell, who was
well known here as Miss Irvin, is
now here on a visit, and will
spend a few days here, and then
visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. P. Irvine, in Long Cove. She
is now living at Turnersville,
Coryell county.

divers continue to get killed by
their risky efforts to amuse and

A Veteran Killed.
John Rotley, one of the in-
mates of the Confederate Home
at Austin, and another aged Con-
federate at the home were quar-
reling over a trivial matter, when
C. H. Lyster, an inmate, who was
74 years old, sought to prevent
them from coming to blows. He
stepped in between them and as
he did so, Rotley picked up a
chair and struck him two blows,
one across the face and the other
over the head. Lyster died within
a few hours from the injuries. He
was a quiet and inoffensive man,
and came from Galveston to the
home about two years ago. Rot-
ley was arrested and placed in
jail. He was from Independence.
