The city fathers are having the
alley running north and south
through block 16 in old town
plowed and will remove several
tons of accumulated dirt and
filth therefrom. Several persons
who own abutting property
would be pleased for the city
fathers to make this alley a
street and thereby abolish the
many nuisances located thereon.
The Leader dares to say that
there is no more fruitful place of
vice in the city than that same
alley, and if it were made a street
and some ol the nuisances re-
moved it would add largely to the
decency and self respect of the
city. Declare it a street, gen-
tlemen, and receive the con-
gratulations of your constituents.
there will be overseers reports to
receive and consider, new ones
to appoint, the looking after the
accounts presented, possibly the
tax levy for the year, and many
other things which need atten-
tion. Please do not find fault
with the court, if you can help it,
for they are men who want to do
the best they can. The Leader
hopes they will distribute the
road tax to the several precincts
of the county in proportion to the
amount of such tax paid by each
precinct, and then see that it is
judiciously spent by the commis-
sioner for that precinct and the
overseer for the several roads in
that precinct. The roads need
much attention, and we are sure
that the above suggestion would
be about the right way to spend
the money which the people have
paid into the treasury for the
purpose of improving the roads.
Mr. J. W. Harmon, of Holiday,
Archer county, Texas, and Mr.
Phillips, of Monahan, Texas,
were here last week, and each
had a bad case of cross eyes
straightened by Dr. Adams.
These gentlemen were delighted
with the operations performed,
and will spread the fact that Dr.
Adams does such work to per-
fection.
The fact that it is claimed that
a first class company will present

thorized agent for Blanke Bros,
pure, hand-made candies and
chocolates. Boys, you will
make no mistake if you send her
one of their packages.
This office is better prepared
than ever in its history to do your
printing in the best of style and
at the lowest prices. There has
just been added to the office one
of the latest styles of new job
presses, and we have the power
attached to it to make it go. The
orders are all that is lacking at
the present. Send them in at
once.
Well Wanted.
We want a well bored in a pas-
ture eleven miles from Lampasas.
Want plenty of water insured.
Applicants for such work apply
to M. Y. B. SPARKS & Son,
Lampasas, Texas.
C. C. White, recently here from
Anderson county, is numbered
among the new subscribers
to the Leader. He is living
on the Cook place just across the
creek from Lampasas, and will
run a dairy.
Uncle John McLean, of Lome-
ta, was among the visitors here
Monday. His age is beginning
to show upou him, but he is yet
remarkably well preserved for a
man of his age.
J. L. Wright, of Greenville,
Alabama, is here on a visit to his
cousins, J. W. and C. W. Wright.
School was resumed Monday
morning, after a suspension of
two weeks, and while all the old
pupils returned, there were a
number of new ones, especially
in the lower grades. The school
is all right and the teachers and
pupils are doing good work.
Some of the local merchants
have already gone to the eastern
markets to purchase spring goods,
while others will be off in a few
days. Lampasas will be pre-
pared to do business right when
the flowers begin to bloom.
The company which is to pro-
duce Quo Yadis at the Hanna
opera house Monday night claim
to have special scenery for ev-
ery act, beautiful stage settings
and an excellent cast of charac-
ters. It is a semi-religious play,
and is frequently patronized by
those who do not attend the light
operas and other theatrical
plays.

J WEST SIDE THE SQUARE.
Mr. Jack W. Martin was strick-
Tuesday afternoon at his home in
this city with paralysis of the
brain, and has since been almost
entirely unconscious. The local
pbysicians, Dr. Hines, of Lome-
ta, and Dr. Scott, of Temple,
have done all they could for him,
nnd at last accounts there was
some slight hope of his recovery.
W. L. Laye, the chief repre-
sentative of the Burnet copper
mines, was in town a few days
this week. He is very sanguine
of success in his mining opera-
tions, and the Leader hereby in-
vites him and his company to
Lndertake the development of
the latent minerals in
tyrage.

J. R. Gee had the misfortune

The ladies of the cemetery as-
sociation have about completed a
neat and substantial fence around
the city cemetery. It is of neat
pickets, with a proper baseboard,
with cedar posts and substan-
tially built. It will remain for
years as a monument of their in-
dustry, energy and worth. It is
a pleasure to all who contributed
to this worthy cause to know that
the ladies have expended the
money given so wisely.
All the people who were de-
tained on account of having
been exposed to the small pox at
this place have been released,
and the scare is over for the
present. No one can tell when
or where it will break out next,
as it seems to be all over the
country.

We have our school and church

but he is not one of the selfish
kind, he offers the location and
help to build it. Hurrah for Un-

is interested put their shoulder
to the wheel. Think of it neigh-
bors, you can’t put forty or fifty
dollars in a buggy, organ, plow,
or anything else that would be
worth more to your family.
There is nothing that looks bet-

borhood than a nice church and
school house. Let us come to
