court of civil appeals on the con-
test of the local option election in

Kidd vs. Rainey, 95 Texas, 556.
Those parties who engage in
the sale of liquors after the tims
of the overruling of a motion for

This looks as if the saloons
would close here for a while, at
least.
All our men’s suits and heavy
underwear must go and will sell
at a great sacrifice until closed
_aut:
Men’s $10 suits will go at $6.98.
Men’s $7.50 suits will go at
$5.48.
Men’s $6.50 suits will go at
$3.60.
All our ladies and gents fleeced
underwear at a great reduction.

You had better supply yourself
while these goods are going for
less than factory cost. They
wont last long as we have only a
very limited quantity at Steven’s
Jitacket Store. wl4.
There is no danger of bats and
bwls taking possession of the
buildings on the east side of the
square as has been predicted by
some people, as all the buildings
t^ere are occupied by hustling
and pushing people. The latest
addition to that side is the Oliver
’Wholesale Grocery Company; and
this firm is doing its share in the
way of bringing trade to Lampa-
sas from abroad, and the territory
is widening day by day. They
do a wholesale business strictly,
selling only to merchants, and do
not become their competitors for
trade which naturally belongs to
the retailer.
E. P. Bailey will accept thanks
f<^r prompt remittance on sub-
scription account, which came to
the office through the courtesy of
his son. Mr. Bailey lives near
Evant, and is 85 years of age,
but still enjoys the doings of the
world as reported through the
newspapers.

Skating Rink.
L. P. Shaw and P. Dumestre
have leased the Hanna springs
opera house and property and
will thoroughly renovate the
building, beautify the grounds
dean out the spring, and put
things in condition with a view
to opening a skating rink in the
upper story and in the lower to
fit up a first class bath house.
The skates which are of the latest
patterns have been ordered and
will be here in a few days. Dates
will be announced later.
Lampasas continues to grow.
The Oliver Wholesale Grocery Co.
is adding daily to the district in
which people get their groceries
from Lampasas, and the people
realize that this new firm is doing
them a good service by making
the necessaries of life cheaper.
They do not do a retail business,
but make prices to retailers which
enable all to get their supplies
cheaper.
Will Smith was in town with
some of that famous seed corn,
which has been raised on one
farm for the past 50’ years, and
is said to have no superior in
Texas or elsewhere, as it always
raises a crop when properly cul-
tivated, and stands the drouth
better than any known corn,
“almost equal to June corn,” ac-
cording to Mr. Smith.
Mrs. E. S. Lively, from Ponto-
toc, Mason county, is visiting at
the home of her grandson, G. F.
Richter. She wras 79 years of age
Monday and is said to be as spry
and active as many of the young
women of this day.
G. F. Richter brought in four
wildcat scalps Wednesday and a
proper allowance was made him
by the commissioners court for
killing these animals, which prey
upon the stock of the country.
Francis Dunn, of -the Evant
section, who has been here with
his wife who is under treatment
at the Lampasas Sanitarium, is
numbered among the new 'sub-
scribers to the Leader. Mr.
Dunn and his wife leave this
week for their home.
Some of the farmers are figur-
ing on buying their goods by the
case or by the wagon load for
their own use, and thought to
save money by purchasing such
supplies from the Oliver Whole-
sale Grocery Company. This firm
does only wholesale business,
selling to merchants at such a
small profit that they can afford
to save their customers money
when they retail the goods to
their customers. They want the
trade of merchants only, but they
are doing much to cheaper! goods
to the consumers.
There is an old bachelor in
town, medium age, has some
ready cash and could furnish a
good home, has a good position
with one of the leading firms of
Lampasas and would like to
change his relation in life. Ev-
ery morning he regrets that he is
one day nearer old baohelordom,
or rejoices that he is one day
nearer matrimonial bliss and he
does not know which. His post-
office box is 140. Possibly some
of the ladies of Lampasas can re-
lieve the gentleman’s suspense.
The Oliver Wholesale Grocery
Company carries a complete line
of all the best groceries, and
wants the trade of all responsible
merchants in this section. They

At the Baptist Church.
Rev. J. M. Dawson spoke Sun-
day morning at the Baptist
church on the text, Acts XXVI,
19: “Whereupon, O King Agrip-
pa, I was not disobedient to the
heavenly vision.” He said in
part as follows:
“Fortunate that people who
have a vision of a better state,
and sordid that people when no
visions come unto them. Every
great advanoe in the world’s
history has been made by men
who were regarded as dreamers.
If Columbus bad not had a vision
there would not have been no
New World. If Luther had not
been a man of visions, there
would have been no such thing
as religious liberty. If Patrick
Henry and our forebears*had not
dreamed of a better day there
would have been no civil liberty.
“There came indeed a heavenly
vision to Saul of Tarsus as he
journeyed from Jerusalem to Da-
mascus to persecute and punish
the feeble folk who were called
Christians. The conversion of
Saul gave him a vision of himself.
The Greek philosophers rightly
said ‘know thyself.’ The most
frequent deception is self decep-
tion. It is the purpose of educa-
tion to reveal to us our powers
and weaknesses. An education
reveals to us our opportunities
our place in the world and our
limitations.
“The Bible reflects ourselves to
ourselves as it is not possible for
any other agency to do. The
Bible enables us to see ourselves
as God sees us. This is the pur-
pose of the Holy Spirit. When
Christ went away he did not
leave us comfortless and in ignor-
ance, halting and stumbling
through life. The Holy Spirit
came to convince the world of
‘sin, of righteousness and of
judgment to 'come.’ The Holy
Spirit turns the searchlight of
truth into our lives and reveals
our condition to ourselves.
Many are proud and think to
stand before God in their own
strength when they know not
that their own hearts are desper-
ately wicked. Such a man was
Saul of Tarsus who thought to do
many things contrary to Jesus of
Nazareth, who brought soldiers
to destroy the Christians, and
when the light dawned upon him,
saw himself as the ‘chief of sin-
ners.” He had been raised af-
ter the strictest sect of the Phar-
isees, keeping the law scrupulous-
ly, and yet when he came to him-
self, he saw his true condition.
Would to God that some such
heavenly visions could come to
us today and reveal us to our-
selves.
“What thought are youtgiving
to your soul? Are you measur-
ing up to the standard which God
has set in his word? Do you im-
agine yourself something, when
in the sight of God you are as
nothing?
“Again Saul received a vision
of the adcrable Christ. Saul had
heard much of Christ and had
judged him by rumor and report.
He looked upon him as a dema-
gogue who was stirring up the
people and who accomplished his
results by slight-of-hand and
trickery, a man who went about
breaking the laws of the land,
smashings the sacred traditions,
a wine-bibber who sat down at
meat with publicans and sinners.
When .the light from heaven
streamed down upon him Baul
saw Christ as he was. It was the
beatific vision, no longer the
demagogue, it was the Christ the
Savior of mankind, the teacher
of the world, the hope of all men.
“Saul was now ready to
fall down and worship Him and
in deep contrition said, ‘Lord,
what wilt thou have me to do?’
He saw the whole race like him-
self stricken with the malady of
sin, and Christ the great physi-
cian. He saw the Christ ‘as the
fairest of ten thousand and the
one altogether lovely,’ so differ-
ent from the being he had seen
in imagination.
“How grossly and imperfectly
do people made up their decis-
ions, more by rumor than reason.
How they think of the churches
something the farthest possible
removed from its true nature.
Many think of the Christ as a
‘root out of dry ground,’ a man
of a sickly pious cant, exactly
opposite to what he really is
revealed to us as being. Some-
one has said, ‘If the Christ were
only a man, then would I flee to
him and cleave unto him, since
he is God and the only God and
Savior, I swear that I will follow
him though heaven and hell op-
pose me.’
“Saul of Tarsus saw a vision
of his duty. In that vision it was
revealed to him that he could do
much for the Gentiles, that he
was to speak to a world that had
as yet not heard of Christ. In
this vision Paul saw not all the
details of his duty and his future
career. He saw not each hard-
ship and the tragic ending of his
life. He saw only the uncounted
multitudes who knew not God.
Many of us make plans as to
what we are going to do in life,
and do not know what God wants
us to do. You have marked out
your plans for yourself and God
has another path in which you
should walk. He who regards
not the heavenly vision will find
it a specter that will haunt him
throughout life. The rich young
man whom Jesus looked upon and
loved and called him to come and
follow Him, saw on the one hand
a long career of unselfish useful-
ness, and on the other his paltry
possessions. And he turned and
went away from the Savior. His
money lost its glitter, life was
without its ambition, pleasure
was an empty husk, and he went
down to his grave with the awful
realization that he had been un-
true to the best impulses of life.
If there opens before you a path
of usefulness and service, a life
of real depth-and earnestness, be
not disobedient to the heavenly
vision.

Death At Burnet.
Burnet, Tex., Feb. 20.—Uncle
John Pankey, an old and respect-
ed citizen of this place, died yes-
terday at the advanced age ot
more than 80 years. Mr. Pank-
ey had lived in this county prob-
ably 50 years, has always been
a useful citizen and leaves scores
of friends and relatives to mourn
his loss.
A. W. Alexander, of the Evant
section, was in and had his name
added to the regular patrons of
the Leader at that point.
H. C, Townsen of the Lampa-
sas river, was in Monday and ad-
vanced his date a year on the
Leader books.
Sam Denson and family came
in this morning from Austin,
where they have been visiting
relatives.
P, £. Davis of Lomefca was
here this week on business.
Considerable excitement was
caused in Dallas by the indict-
ment of E. H. Silven, a well
known architect of that city, for
murder and arson in connection
with the burning of the Knepffiy
building, in which two men lost
their lives and another was se-
verely injured. Only a short time
after the fire Mr. Silven was ar-
rested on suspicion. Bernard
Phillipson was asphyxiated in
his room and it is for his murder
that Silven is indicted, as well as
for arson. The other man who
lost his life in the fire . jumped
from a third story window and
was killed on the pavement. Mi-
nor the young printer who jump-
ed at the same time and who was
thought to be fatally injured, is
now in a fair way to recover.
(The friends of Silven maintain
This innocence and declare that
they will fight the case to the
end.
