Lampasas Hotel Burned.
The fire alarm was sounded at
6 o’clock Monday morning, the
blaze being located at the Lam-
pasas Hotel, owned and occupied
by Mrs. Reed Jones, who bought
•the property some years ago on
the installment plan and had Just
completed the payment for it. In
an hour the building and most of
its contents was a complete loss,
there being very little saved from
the flames and there vfas no in-
surance on either the building or
the furniture.
A number of boarders lost all
their effects, and a number of
persons who were there only for
the night lost part of their wear-
ing apparel.
The fire boys made a quick
run, and full pressure was put
upon the water pipes, three lines
of hose being laid and the press-
ure was good at each of them.
This pressure and the active work
of the fire department saved the
surrounding buildings, some of
the near by buildings having
caught on fire, but the flames on
these were controlled by the fire-
men. 1
The warehouse of Higdon-Sen-
terfitt Company caught and there
was considerable damage tb goods
stored therein as well as to the
building, both by water and the
removal of,the goods. This loss,
however, is covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is un-
known, being first discovered in
a room in which there was neither
a stove nor an electric light, and
which was used only as a dress-
ing room for the family.
Mrs. Jones and children have
bought and paid for this proper-
ty by their own efforts and de-
serve much credit for the enqjrgy,
faithful work and economy which
has characterized them in this
enterprise, and it was sad for
them and their friends to see it
all consumed within an hour.
It is probable that an appeal
for§ help will be made, and the
citizens of Lampasas have never
been known to refuse to contrib-
ute to so worthy an object.
The house had a good name
and. has enjoye.d a fine run of
patronage.
Mrs. Jones’ loss will probably
total more than $2,000.00.

The oat crop is a wonder to
those who care to interest them-
selves in any character of agri-
cultural products. Grain which
Was sown before the fall rains is
now six inches high in some
places and has entirely covered
the ground, so as to make a com-
plete shield, thus protecting the
roots from cold, and with the fine
rains which have fallen recently,
this crop is flourishing as it has
not done at this season for years.
That which was sown after the
rains in the early fall, is also in a
prosperous stage and is. growing
off nicely. Pasturage for the
stock is already abundant, and
within a few weeks will be offered
almost free of charge for the pur-
pose of keeping down the growth.
There should be plenty of milk
and the price of butter will prob-
ably be somewhat reduced be-
cause of the abundance of green
food in the fields.
Candy being the big end of our
business, we have for this Christ-
mas the largest and most com-
plete stock ever shown in Lam-
pasas, and at prices too that just
force you to buy. A $12 box of .
candy to be given away. Ask for
particulars.

J, E. Bostick, of the Lampasas
river, was in last week and had
his date moved forward on The
Leader. He has a fine valley
farm, and knows how to cultivate
it so as to produce the best re*
sults.^ He and the Wheeler fami-
lies came to this section some
years ago 1 from Erath county,
and have shown some of the
farmers of this part of Texas how
to raise good corn in dry weather.
May these families continue to
prosper.
