Commissioners Court
Has been in session since Mon-
day of this week, the greater
portion of the time having been
spent in examination of accounts
and reports of ofScials.
The following entry appears on
the minutes: “A petition having
been presented to the commis-
sioners court of Lampasas coun-
ty with the proper number of sig-
natures thereto asking for the
creation of the office of county
scab inspector and it appearing
to the court that the law subjects
each member of the court to a
fine of $100 upon failure to create
the office, it is therefore ordered
by the court that the office of
sheep scab inspector be and the
same is hereby created.
“Johii W. Stephens was ap-
pointed sheep scab inspector of
Lampasas County Upon the vote
of Commissioners Kirby, Ligon
and Holley. D. J. Perryman re-
ceived the vote of W. H. Sim-
mons.”
R. W. Smith is at home from
northern Texas, where he has
been spending a week or more
on business. It is safe to say
that he did some good work for
Lampasas and the Hanna springs
during his absence.

Prof. G. D. Scott has a letter
from C. H. Cleveland, of Hum-
boldt, Kansas, who desires to
prospect in this section for gas
and oil, provided some of our
citizens would be sufficiently in-
terested to take stock and furnish
a location for such a proposition.
There is gas in this section, and
doubtless oil in paying quantities
can be found, provided the test is
made in the proper place and a
sufficient depth to the well to
penetrate the oil strata. Mr.
Cleveland is also a manufacturer
of virtrified brick and other goods
in this line, and will probably
establish a factory for the manu-
facture of brick at Atlanta, Texas.

H. F. Lewis and family are
now comfortably domiciled in
their new home on top of the hill,
north side of First street. Some
months ago Mr. Lewis traded for
the lots upon which the home of
MUW. Moses stood when it was
Durned nearly two years since,
and he has moved his former res-
idence to these lots, and remod-
elled the house so that it would
hardly be recognized, having
added an upper story with dor-
mer windows upon the new bun-
galow roof which he put upon
the house. Neat entrances have
been constructed and the place
will be, when completed, one of
the most attractive homes in that
section of the city. It is a pleas-
ure for The Leader to note such
improvements. They speak well
for the city and for those who
thus spend their money to make
pleasant surroundings.

The following is the weather

To Trade For Lampasas Residence,
I have a block of land, 2 acres,
with good 6 room residence in
good location in the city of Aus-
tin; electric lights, city water,
telephone, etc., all in good repair.
Prepared for raising chickens,
with poultry fence and chicken
houses. Will trade for Lampa-
sas residence property. Address
J. M. Shelby, 1715 Chicon St.,
Austin, Texas. d65
Wm. Warnken, who is now liv*
ing on the J. H. H. Berry ranch
south south of Lampasas, reports
that his jersey cattle are doing
well in this climate, he having
recently brought them here from
the line of Fayette and Colorado
counties. His herd of jersey
cattle is attracting considerable
attention and he reports some
sales at very satisfactory prices.
There is nothing better for this
section than the little jersey cow,
and The Leader hopes Mr. Warn-
ken and others who are inter-
ested in that line will so develop
the growth and usefulness of
these animals that a creamery
and other attendant industries
may be established here to con-
sume all the milk and cream that
can be produced, and that will
give employment to many people
in the care of the stock and the
manufacture of butter, cheese
and other by-prodnets of such
an industry. Thpre are a num-
ber of very fine jersey cattle in
this part of Texas and there is
yet room for several thousand
more. Take care of the calves.
They will soon be grown and are
rapid reporducers of their kind.
Temple had its city primary
election Wednesday, the principal
contest being over the office of
mayor, for which there were five
candidates. The record shows
Mayor Hamill received 416 votes,
J. B. Watters, also a former may-
or received 371; Dr. P. H. Brown
received 347, and Wm. Ginnuth,
who has also been mayor, re-
ceived 44 votes. A new primary
election will be held, in which
only Hamill and Watters will
participate.
J. D. Hoy, aged about 85 years,
died this afternoon at his home
one mile east of the courthouse.
He had been a citizen of Lam-
pasas county for about 35 years,
and had lived in different parts
of Texas and Mexico before com-
ing here. Mrs. Frank Longfield,
of Lometa, and Mrs. W. R.
Moore, of this place, are his
daughters. He also leaves a
widow. While Mr. Hoy lived to
be more than four score years of
age, yet he was strong and vig-
orous up to within a few days of
his death. His daughters were
both here at his death. The be-
reaved children and grandchil-
dren have general sympaty. The
funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
