The Obliging Druggists
Dr. Joe E. Dildy has traded his
home place known as the Hanna
Springs Sanitarium to John War-
ren, who formerly, lived in the
northern part of this county, but
has for several years lived in
Mills county. Dr. Dildy gets
what is known as the John N.
Crawford place, located some six
miles south of Lampasas in Bur-
net county, the place containing
something like six hundred acres,
while Mr. Warren takes immedi-
ate possession of the sanitarium
building. Friends of Mr. Warren
will gladly welcome him back to
Lampasas county and will con-
gratulate him upon getting such
a nice piece of well located prop-
erty. Success to both of you,
gentlemen.
Give your patronage to the
man who pays you- what he owes
you and thereby encourage set-
tlement of obligations. To re-
fuse to give partronage to one
who pays you simply because he
does not owe you a ‘hard ac-
count’ puts a penalty upon the
payment of debts and encourages
the hard pay man in ‘standing
off’ his bills.—Goldthwaite Eagle.
Fire at Spurlin’s Wagon Yard.
At 10:40 Friday morning the
fire alarm was sounded and a
great crowd at once rushed to
Spurlin’s wagon yard, where one
of the oldest buildings in Lam-
pasas was emitting great clouds
of smoke.
The fire department was on
h and at once, and the water pres-
sure was good. Beyond a little
delay in making some openings
in the building to let the water
enter, the work of extinguishing
the flames was begun at once,
and in forty minutes the fire
wagon was brought back to the
station.
The fire was one of supposed
spontaneous combustion, having
probably originated in some
green sorghum hay which was
stored in the house. More than
fifty bales of hay were ruined,
and the remaining contents of
the house so badly damaged that
it is a complete loss. There was
no insurance.
The building was very dry, and
the roof which was on fire at
many places burned rapidly, but
the boys stopped the outside and
inside blaze in a very short time
after they got to work,
Special commendation is due
Felix Earnest, the driver, who
made some quiok and expert
turns to avoid striking other ve-
hicles while rushing to the fire.
The boys also deserve commen-
dation for their active and quick
way of taking care of ‘ the prop-
erty of others when a fire threat-
ens.
Mr. Spurlin’s loss will probably
reach several hundred dollars,
for in addition to the loss and
damage of his stock of feed, the
old house is practically ruined,
and is probably not worth repair-
ing.
Jim Landers was in to see The
Leader and to advance his date
to 1913. Mr. Landers has some
complaint to make of the mail
service on his route, having lost
some issues of the paper and
some valuable letter mail. The
paper goes regularly and it is
hoped the matter will be brought
around all right. Mr. Landers
says there has been no rain in
his part of the county, but he al-
ways makes something whether
rain falls or not. He knows how
to make the best of every situa-
tion.
