Sheriff Young- has two young
sons of Ham in the county bas-
tile. One is charged with bur-
glary, and is said to be almost
certain of a trip to the state works
at Huntsville or Rusk, while the
other is charged with several
crimes, any one of which renders
him unfit for good society among
the colored people. Friday night
he had a pistol, that is one
charge. He fired into a church,
that is another charge, and the
bullet from the pistol punctured
a hole in the leg of another
colored youth, and that is anoth-
er charge. It is probable that he
will succeed in his efforts to put
himself under the care of the
state. District court will con-
vene in April.
Old man Jones, 91 years of
age, died Sunday night at the
home of his son, who is living in
the Hancock park. He has been
a familiar figure in this section
for many years, and made his
way about the country on foot.
He was a member of the Metho-
dist church from his boyhood,
and was buried with the rites of
that organization. He has some
children living in this section.
Rev. W. A. Bowen, agent of
the Texas Christian Advocate,
came in Saturday night and
preached twice Sunday at the
Methodist church. Mr. Bowen
was formerly a newspaper man,
years ago reformed and went to
preaching, now having the agen-
cy for the newpaper as a side is-
sue. He spent several days here.
There will be preaching at the
Baptist church Sunday.
Eli Mitchell has moved his shop
to the Lampasas Music Co. store,
west of Burns, Noble & Barnes.
He would be glad to do your
watch, clock and jewelry work,
and will do his best to please
you. He has had years of ex-
perience in fitting spectacles to
suit the eyes and guarantees a
fit or no pay.
Services at the Methodist
church Sunday. Preaching by
the pastor morning and evening.
