Friday and Saturday the Last Two Days
OF THE MAY WHITE SALE
This is fair warning to those who have not yet taken advantage of this remarkable White Goods and Under-
muslin opportunity. Two more days and the opportunity will have departed not to return for a long year. The
great snow banks of white goods have been melting rapidly away under the influence of' the enthusiastic and
record-breading buying that has distinguished this sale right from the opening, for it is many many months since
such fresh, crisp, new clean white goods could be had for such remarkably little prices.

Mrs. M. McVey Dead.
Mrs. M. McVey, who has been
very feeble at the home of her
niece, Mrs. M. G. Northington,
in East Lampasas, died Thurs-
day morning about 8 o’clock.
Her death had been expected at
any moment for the past several
days.
Mrs. M^Vey was about 79
years of age, and had been a
resident of this county for prob-
ably more than 60 years. Com-
ing here with her husband when
both were young, they acquired
extensive real estate interests,
and the estate of Mrs. McVey
now comprises nearly 1,000 acres
of land lying between the Sulphur
Fork of Lampasas river and Mes-
quite creek, the McVey farm
three miles east of Lampasas be-
ing regarded as one of the best
in the county.
Mrs. M. G. Northington is the
only blood relation of Mrs. Mc-
Vey in Texas, though there are
some • nephews in the state of
Tennessee.
Mrs. McVey had long been a
member of the Methodist church
and when physically able, was
always at her place during the
public worship.
She will be buried Friday
morning at 10 o’clock, at the old
cemetery.
Mrs. J. L. Valliant reports that
she has fine, fresh beets from her
own garden, which she regards
as early.

Reasons for Suicide.
Nicolas Obehhuyseen, who took
his life by the use of carbolic
acid at the Frazer hotel Monday
morning, left the following in
writing in a sealed envelope ad-
dressed “To the Landlord:”
Lampasas, Tex., May 13, 1912.
—Dear Sir: The reason for my
rash act is, I lost my wife and
daughter. I have a bank account
at First National Bank of Waco,
also a safe deposit box at same
bank, with valuables which will
cover my funeral expenses.
I am very1 sorry this has to hap-
pen in your house, but I cannot
stand the strain on my mind "any
longer.
Yours respectfully,
Nicolas Obenhuysen.
P.l. Write to S. W. Oben-
huysen, 531-2 Wolner Building,
Peoria, Illinois.
P. S. I have no relatives here
in America, outside of a brother
on Pacific coast. Have a trunk
and baggage, etc., in storage in
Waco, Texas, Edwards & Grand
Storage Co.
Give me a Christian funeral,
and take the rest. Valuables in
safety deposit box are worth
$1000.00* Watch, E. Howard,
valued at $175.00; ring $50.00,
etc. ■'
N. Obenhuysen.
P. S. Send my life insurance
papers to Mr. D. C. J. Obenhuy-
sen, Linneaus Park Wey, Water-

Mrs, L. S. McKey, who has
lived here for the past year, has
returned to her home at Myles,
Miss., her husband having re-
turned about two months ago.
Herman Hoffmann has gone to
Hempstead where his wife and
children have been visiting for
some weeks. He will probably
be at home again Sunday or
Monday.
The Methodist Reception.
There was an overflow at the
Methodist reception on the par-
sonage lawn Wednesday evening,
275 names appearing on the reg-
istration book, and probably there
were fifty or more present who
did not entpr their names.
Mrs. Frank Mace announced
the program consisting of an
earnest prayer by the pastor,
Rev. J. W. Cowan, a song by all
assembled led by Judge M. M.
White, a recitation by Miss Enla
Brooks, a character song by Miss
Imogene Hooper, a recitation by
Miss Lois Black, and a grand
medley of the old-time songs in
which all joined heartily.
Ed Martin showed his pro-
ficieficy as an auctioneer in sell-
ing some boxes (contents un-
known) taking his pay for same
in butter beans.
Thera were quite a number of
the new members of the church
present, and the children were
there in large numbers.
Refreshments of cake and ice
"cream were served throughout
the evening, something like six-
teen gallons of the latter having
been provided, which was all
consumed, the young boys de-
claring there “wasn’t gwine to
be no core” left over.
Conversation among the older
guests, music and romps by the
younger crowd, caused the hours
to pass rapidly and too soon
came the hour of departure.
The meeting was truly an open
one, and those who were present
will always cherish this as one
of the happy times In their mem-
ory.
Mrs. J. L. Lindsey, who has
been here for the §benefit of her
health, in the home of her aunt,
Mrs. F. M. Ramsey, has return-
ed to her home at Granger.

An effort is being made to so
meet the expenses of Hancock
park grounds as to provide a free
camping privilege to all who
will come during the present
season. It is estimated that
about $150 will be required to
clean off the grounds, handle the
garbage and keep the place in
good sanitary condition during
the summer, and the business
men of Lampasas will be asked
to contribute this amount so that
no charges will be made to those
who desire to come here and
spend a time in camp. R. W.
Smith and Roy Morris have
charge of the matter. If they
fail to see you, please see them
and enter your part of the funds.
