It is with mingled pride and
satisfaction that the Hawthorne
Musical Club makes its bow to
the public at the dawn of this, its
fourth season. This company is
the only one of this kind in
America, and furnishes a clean
program of two hours’ duration,
no two numbers being alike.
The arrangement is such that
there is not too much classical
music, but just enough wit and
humor interspersed to make the
whole a popular evening’s enter-
tainment. The program as print-
ed cannot do justice to this at-
traction, for the reason that space
forbids an extended explanation.
For instance, in the descriptive
selection, “A Trip to New York
City” the “Eden Musee,” is a
series of impersonations of men
famous in the affairs of the world,
a great feature wherever seen.
Many other novelties that do not
stand with any degree of prom-
inence in this circular, must be
seen to be fully appreciated.
This organization has traveled
thousands of miles in the past
year and has filled engagements
for Y. M. C. A. courses, churches,
institutes, lodges and clubs*

J. J. Wagle, of the upper river
country, was in town Monday af-
ter seed corn and other seeds to
plant his crop for the year. The
most of the farmers prefer the
native grown corn for seed, but
some who have tried the north-
ern varieties say that the corn
grown further north does better
here than the native seed. The
dealers here have secured corn in
the ear from Arkansas, in order
to accommodate those who want
the native corn.
Good Stock.
I will stand the horse known as the
Throckmorton horse, English shire and
Morgan blood, and the W. H. Corbin
jack, one mile east of Lampasas at the
old W. H. East place, this season.

particulars, see me.

The Leader is in receipt of a
dollar from some person who for-
merly lived at Izora, requesting
the paper to be changed from

signed to it, we can neither make
proper credit nor change the pa-
per. Will Bro. Upton, or some
other friend at Izora, please sup-
ply the name, as the party who
wishes the paper changed can
not be reached without the name?

flour and meal cheap.
Lucius Christian passed
