Mt. Pleasant, Feb. 13.—The
rain of Monday afternoon and
night, and Tuesday, was just
simply fine—restoring lost confi-
dence, and putting new life into
small grain which was not killed
by the last freezes. Really we
need a root-soaker, it has been
dry so long.
A literary and debating socie-
ty was organized at the Mount
Pleasant school house Friday
night, and the following officers
were elected: K. B. Hallmark,
president; Everett Hughes, vice-
president; Hugh Gilbreath, sec-
retary and treasurer. A very
interesting program was render-
ed by the pupils under the super-
vision of the teacher, Mrs. Ralph
Goodwin. Music was furnished
by Mrs. Karo Hallmark, Messrs.
Ernest Hughes and^Tohn Jerni-
ganf^ The society meets every
two weeks, and the public is in-
vited to attend.
J. M. Higginbotham and Fred
Briggs, two of our most success-
ful farmers, have installed pump-
ing plants and they will try irri-
gation this year. Mr. Higgin-
botham will raise sweet potatoes,
cabbage and other truck, while
Mr. Briggs will irrigate cotton
and corn as well as other stuff.
They have secured W. N. Cole,
of Kempner, to assist them, and
success is bound to follow.
Messrs, and Mesdames Karo
Hallmark, Huey Whigham and
Mrs. A. J. Whigham were guests
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Gilbreath, Sunday.
Mrs. Everett Hughes was very 3
sick yesterday but we are pleased
to report that she is improving at
this writing.

is visiting her sister, Mrs. Will
Ellis.
Mr. and Mrs. Barker Briggs
visited Sunday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Everett Hughes.
Rev. Tallie Williams, filled his
regular appointment here Sun-

Clayton and Grundyville Items.
(By Auntie.)
We had a nice slow falling rain
this week which will be much
help to the sickly, puny oats and
wheat in bringing it out again.
A few days of warm weather will
make this country blossom as the
rose.
Farmers are all busy prepar-
ing for another crop; don’t see
mapy of them goihg to town
these days.
Mrs. Will Cole left last week
for Hale Center, Texas, where
she and her husband will reside
for a time.
Rev. Andrew Smith preached
here last Sunday. His time will
now be on the second Saturday
and Sunday, instead of the third
as heretofore. The neighborhood
will please remember that the
Methodist day is the first Satur-
day night and Sunday. And the
Baptist day is the second Satur-
and Sunday. Mr. Editor you are
invited out next Sunday to attend
services and to partake of dinner.
We will have a two days’
quarterly conference Saturday
and Sunday, the 17th and 18th.
Everybody invited and bring
your dinner.
■ There has been several cases
of measles on T. P. Garner’s
place; two of his children among
the number. They are all doing-
well at last accounts.
The Bostick boys are out on
the Colorado river hunting.
The directors of our Rural
phone have appointed Mrs. Ada
Emswiler as operator of the
switchboard at Kempner.
Joe Gee came home from Mor-
gan, Texas, to stay awhile until
business gets, better. He has
traveled over quite a number of
counties in the state and says we
people here are in much better
shape financially than any place
he has been in the state. He is
in love with Lampasas county
after his wanderings.
Mr. Coker has charge of a lot
of teams %nd machinery and is
putting our road, the Waco ana
Lampasas, in fine shape. We will
all be delighted if the county
commissioners will give us a
bridge across Lucy creek.
We did not object to Ev. Will-
iams wedding our Miss Donie
Norred, but we do miss her very
much from Sunday school.
Many hearts were made sad
last week on reading an account
in the Leader of Mrs. Ada Cook's
death. Everyone that knew her
in this county was a friend.
J. R. Gee feels like he has some
help now with Ben Parsons and
Joe Gee. He has all his land
broke, but can keep the boys
busy at odd jobs.
Gholson Gleanings.
Annie Laurie.
Cold weather seems to have
vanished, the sun shines making
the earth warm ready for the
planting of corn and other crops.
It makes us all glad to see this
part of the globe covered with
moisture once more.
Mrs. T. A. Berry and daugh-
ter, Miss Beedie, visited the
former’s sister, Mrs. Cox, in the
Adamsville neighborhood, Sat-

visiting here Saturday and Sun-
day.

grandson, Frank, made a trip to
Hamilton Saturday.
Lee and Jack Stinson, who
have been working at the oil
mill at Hamilton, have returned
home.
There is some sickness in this
community, but we hope the gen-
eral health will soon improve.
From McCreaville
Verbenal
McCreaville, Feb. 12.—While
we are writing this communica-
tion the long looked for and
much needed rain is pattering
down on the roqf, and from pres-
ent appearances, is going to be a
good ground soaking rain. All
are rejoicing over the bright
prospects for grain and all veg-
etation which has been kept back
by the continued cold and dry
weather. Stock water was also
replenished.
Farmers are pretty well up
with their plowing and will be
ready to plant corn by first of
March. The question discussed
now is the getting of seed corn
and cotton, which will be no
trouble, however, as there is al-
ways an Egypt to go to.
H. A. McCrea, of Lometa, vis-
ited relatives here and attended
to some windmill repairing.
E. M. Aynesworth, of Waco,
visited relatives here this week.
Ed was formerly a Lampasas
boy^and has many friends here
who were glad to see him.
The Methodist quarterly con- !
ference convened here Saturday i
and Sunday. Saturday at 11 j
o’clock we had a fine sermon by J
Bro. Scott. In the evening an j
old-fashioned western sandstorm
came up and soon the weather j
reached the freezing point. Sun- j
day was too cold for Sunday
school or preaching.
Our neighborhood boys are en-
joying fine sport hunting rabbits
and trapping other troublesome
varments.
Mrs. Maggie Loving, of Bend, I
visited home folks here this week.
Sunset-Central Dry-Farming Book.
On account of the| great de-
mand for practical information
in regard to conservation of j
moisture and cultivation of the '
soil by so-called “dry-farming”
methods, the Sunset-Central j
passenger industrial department
has issued another supplylof dry-
faf'^^^P^uoks for distribution
free to all who apply for them.
In speaking on this subject at
a farmers’ meeting recently, Prof.
H. P. Attwater, Sunset-Central
Industrial Agent, said: “Not in
many years have rains in South-'
ern and West Texas, been so-
heavy and so continuous. In
consequence, the soil has in a
large measure recovered from^the
unusual drouths (in some sec-
tions) of the past few years, and
contains once more |the^normal
amount of moisture. |At this
time, prospects for good crops
this season are very favorable,
and a proper knowledge offjtillage
and methods of cultivation by
which the moisture can| be re-
tained in the soil for the benefit
of the growing? crops is of the
greatest importance to all farm-
ers.”
The Sunset-Central Lines dry-
farming book which was com-
piled with this object in view can
be obtained by addressing T. J.
Anderson, Gen. Passenger Agent
Houston, Texas.
While much is being published
in some papers in regard to the
probability of war with Mexico,
statements come from Washing-
ton that there is no immediate
fear of this government having
to take any active part in the
turbulent maneuvers now going
on in parts of the republic of
Mexico. The United States army
nearly always stands in readi-
ness for immediate action should
occasion occur to demand it, but
it is not thought that the work of
some insurrectionists, without
standing or equipment, in Mexi-
co will call for any action by the
United States.
