WACO BOOSTERS ARRIVE
Baylor Band Heads Parade and Boos-
ters March Around Public Square.
Welcome Address by Mayor.
The Waco booster train arrived
Thursday morning at 11:30, coming
in with the announcement by the siren
and the blowing of train whistle,
there being nine coaches and the en-
gine comprising the special train.
There were 140 boosters including the
Baylor Band.
A large number of citizens were at
the train to welcome the visitors and
as soon as the train stopped the vis-
itors formed a line of march, headed
by Baylor Band, and marched to the
public square. After circling the
square came to a halt on the court
house lawn where the band played sev-
eral selections, after which Mayor
Roy L. Walker delivered the welcome
address.
Mayor Walker in a few earnest
words gave the visitors a cordial wel-
come, and among other things said
it was the custom to turn the keys of
the city over to visitors, but Lam-
pasas had no keys to her city and no
city marshal, therefore the visitors
v.ere welcome to do as they phased.
He announced that all o.' the visitors
were asked to step into the automo-
biles provided for their use and take
a ride over the city immediately af-
ter the speech-making.
The band played another selection
and in response to the welcome ad-
dress, Wr. V. Crawford, president of
the Waco Cotton Palace, spoke on
bebaif of the visitors and about the
first ihing he said was that the Waco
ouneh had never forgotten the “chick-
en dinner” which was served them at
Anderson Park just about a year ago.
He said that they were glad to be in
Lampasas and appreciated the cor-
dial welcome by the mayor. He said
that he was glad Texas was big-
enough and broad enough for all of its |
towns and cities to grow and it ,vas
through co-operation that this pro-
gressive spirit had been engendered
and made possible. He gave a cor-
dial invitation for Lampasas people
to attend the Cotton Palace and to
visit Waco any time, and said if any-
one got into trouble over there just
fell CMef-of-Police Corrtithers £ou
are from Lampasas and that would
be all that was necessary to get re-
leased.
Among the Baylor band members
was our former townsman, Austin
Long, Jr., and on the special also were
the Wac-o Dutchess and maid-of-honor,
who took part in the big West Texas
Chamber of Commerce celebration in
Brownwood which was held on Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday.
After a drive over the city and out
to the park and a visit around in the
business houses, the party left on the
special train which pulled out at
1:40 p. m.

COST OF SIDEWALK
MUST BE PAID BY
OWNER COURT SAYS
Austin, Texas, May 14.—The power
of a city to assess the entire cost of
sidewalk improvements on property
was sustained by the supreme court,
today in a case from Tyler. The city
of Tyler sued to collect $417.20 from
Ben Cahn which was his share of a
new sidewalk. The court held valid
a statute giving cities this power as a
proper exercise of police power.
LAMPASAS WINS LOYING CUP
A telegram was received Wednes-
day evening stating that Mesdames
W. W. Standard and Walter Reynolds
had won the loving cup in the reel
race at the ’State Firemen’s Conven-
tion in McKinney Wednesday after-
noon. Several years ago this event
was established at the Firemen’s Con-
vention by Lampasas and since that
time it has been one of the interesting
features of the annual meeting, and
since Lampasas claims the honor of
being the “daddy” of the event, the
honor is duly appreciated. Mesdames
Standard and Reynolds are congrat-
ulated on winning the honor for Lam-
pasas, and here’s hoping they have
a wonderfully happy time.

ing business in Lampasas with V. E.
Curry, as local manager, they have
enjoyed a trade that has been satis-
factory in every way.

BOOSTER TRIP POSTPONED
The booster trip which was sched-
uled for Friday (tomorrow) has been
postponed until Wednesday of next
week, and the route has also been
changed. The immediate cause of
the postponement is the condition of
the roads, recent rains having made
the roads difficult to travel over, and
as the boosters have to make good
time on these trips it has been decid-
ed to make the following itinerary
on next Wednesday: Bertram, Lib-
erty Hill, Leander, Round Rock, Aus-
tin, Pflugfervjlle, Hut|;o, Tayloi*,
Georgetown, Florence, Briggs. This
will be a fine trip and they want a
big crowd of boosters to go. Make
your plans to go Wednesday of next
week.
