An Old Telephone Directory.
.Albert Newton, who spent a
day or two here with friends,
presented to The Leader office a
slip of card board about 5 by 10
inches, containing a “list of sub-
scribers to the telephone ex-
change,” which is supposed to
be about 30 years old, Charles C.
Hubert’s name being given as
the manager. The list contains
about sixty names, and of these
J. D. Cassell, D. G. Price, Phil-
lip Payn and C. N. Witcher are
still residents and doing business
in Lampasas. The names of
Frazer & Burgess, Cameron &
Co., G. C. & S. F. Ry., and E. B.
Millican appear on this old doc?
ument.
The Exchange and Park are
mentioned as among the patrons
of the telephone exchange, while
the residences of J. C. Matthews,
Walter Acker, Drs. King, Ad-
kins, Largen, Lincecum and
Letcher are also mentioned.
Names that have not been
thought of perhaps in many
years, appear on this miniature
directory, such as P.M. Hargrave,
who was in the banking business
at that time; Leo. Wolfson, who
kept a public resort where , the
ladies of the Civic League now
have their beautiful grass plot;
Willis & Moore, Dyer & Logan
and J. A. & I. N. Hamon, who
were the druggists of that day;
John E. Turney, Geo. T. Malone,
Wynne Brothers, John B. Hig-
don, Russell, Galbraith & Son, J.
P. Higgins, Alex Jacobs and
others were patrons of this ex-
change.
Some of the rules governing
the exchange are given: “1st
To call central, press the push
button and turn the crank, and
immediately take the telephone
from the hook, placing firmly
I to your ear. 4th. When called
immediately take telephone from
hook and say ‘Hello.’” The
most important rule was proba
bly No. 6, which said, “Non-
subscribers not allowed to use
telephone.” The 7th rule was
“Do not use telephone during
thunder storms.”

met with Mrs. Walter McCauley
Tuesday afternoon, and in the
absence of both the president
and vice-president, it was pre-
sided over by Mrs. I. N. Clack.
The lesson was led by Miss
Mary Dickens, and while it was
her first experience in leading
she acquitted herself creditably,
giving a very interesting expo-
sition Of the lesson.
The committees reported, new
business was taken up, and
pledges were made to support
missionary work.

Christian Ladies’ Aid.
Mrs. J. L. Valliant was hostess
to the ladies of the Christian
church at one of the most pleas-
ant and profitable meetings of
th,© aid society for the year.
Mrs. S. J. Smith called the
house to order and after prayer
by Bro. Bradley, Mrs. Little con-
ducted the lesson—Acts 19th
chapter. The members are more
interested in Bible study than
ever before in the history of the
society, and this proved to be a
period of unusual interest in the
life of Paul.
A committee on cleaning the
church building reported that the
carpet had been removed and the
floor will be left uncovered for
sanitary reasons. Other com-
mittees reported and it was de-
cided to hold a Saturday market
