W. H. Rodgers, of Lometa, was in
Lampasas Thursday, Nov. 8, and was
exhibiting an invention for which he
has made application for a patent.
The device is made for road signs and
can be read in the dark as readily as
in the day time. The sign is made of
illuminating substance and when
placed along the roadside will be quite
a help to motorists and travelers who
make trips in the night. Mr. Rodgers
showed the device to a number of
friends here and feels confident that
the invention will be of great service
to the public when he gets the patent
cn it.

McCREAVILLE ITEMS
By Verbena.
For the past week it has been ex-
citing times with the farmers trying
to get their grain sowed, corn gath-
ered, the r.emnant of cotton picked
and the rounding up of the turkeys
to send to the market. Turkeys have
been unusually troublesome straying
off from home and some of the folks
have had to stay with them and herd
them like sheep. Those who have
sold can breathe a breath of relief
for they have been troublesome from
start to finish.
The grain sowed some weeks ago
is looking fine and will soombe ready
to pasture the stock. Some of the
farmers haven’t sowed their grain on
account of trying to save * the rem-
nant of cotton. The frost didn’t dam-
age gardens very much, the turnip
patches are fine and the grass and
weeds still green.
Bennie Supple and Alton Supple
visited their relative, Neal McAnnelly,
Sunday at Lometa and enjoyed their
visit very much.
Mrs. Harris of New Mexico, who has
been visiting her son, Joe Harris, and
family, has now gone to Killeen to
visit her daughter, Mrs. Condra.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert McCrea came
home from Concho where they have
a lease and have been gathering pe-
cans. Their mission was to sell their
turkeys. They have returned to San
Angelo after selling the turkeys. We
miss our friends who have been gone
so long and will be glad to have them
home again.
Mrs. Matthews, who has been on
the sick list, is well again and came
out from Lampasas to her home and
returned Sunday evening.
