and Mrs. S. L, Yates.
Little Mildred Davis is spend-
ing this week with relatives in
Lometa, having gone home with
her aunt who was visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Davis for some
days.
Mrs. P. A. LeCompte is at
home from Temple, where she
spent some time with her mother,
Mrs. Holden, who has been se-
riously ill, but is now somewhat
improved.
Ben Grimes and family, of
Cameron, are guests of Mrs. C.
O. Witcher. Mrs. Grimes and
Mrs. Witcher are sisters, and Mr.
Grimes is one of the leading
newspaper men in Central Texas,
having a well equipped office at
Cameron.
K. Lamity Bonner, who has
been spending some time here,
fishing and enjoying out door
life, has returned to his work at
Austin. He was formerly in the
newspaper business here, and
ran a daily and weekly paper,
The Dispatch, in the early
.days of railroad connection with
the outside world. He is now
running the Harpoon, and pays
no attention whatever to min-
nows, being “out after whales.”
Cotton picking is the order of
the day, and there are fewer
loafers on the streets here than
there were a few weeks ago.
Some have gone to distant parts.
While others are iii the local
fields at work. It is good for the
town and good for the loafers for
all to be at work.
Dr. F. M. Gilbert, of the Ad-
am sville section, was here Mon-
day and paid The Leader a call
in passing. He is one of the sub-
stantial citizens of the northern
part of the county, and has in-
vested largely in lands in that
section. It is almost impossible
to lose money when invested in
land, which is said to be the basis
of all wealth.

Rush Allison and his sisters,
Misses Mary and Sallie, and a
friend Miss Morgan, all of
Georgetown, were here Tuesday,
en route home from a fishing and
camping trip to Chadwick Mill,
They also visited their old home
at San Saba for a day or two.
The Allisons are children of
jfudge and Mrs. W. M. Allison.
Judge Allison was for a number
of years on the bench in the dis-
trict to the west of us, composed
of San Saba, Llano, Mason and
a number of other counties. It
was a pleasure to meet his chil-
dren again, though they are all
well grown now.
B. W. Griffin brought The
Leader some samples of his corn,
and there is a wide difference in
the samples. These samples grew
in the same field, possibly in the
same rows, and one ear of it
weighed -one an,d a half pounds,
and the best ear of the other
sample weighed just half a pound.
Mr. Griffin stated that he got the
best of the latter that he could
find. , Now what made this wide
difference? Mr. Griffin states
that the seed was the same, the
cultivation the same, the plant-
ing the same, but that the good
ear was raised on land which
was broken eight inches deep,
while the other land was not
broken at all, but “streaked off”
and planted. The fact that there
was a seed bed prepared, and
that this seed bed held the mois-
ture during the time it was need-
ed, accounts for the difference.
While the corn planted on land
Which was not broken might have
made jtt&t as good a sample as
the other with plenty of moisture,
it could not without it. It pays
to study conditions and in this

Waco, Texas, August26.—1The

Test Cotton-Picking Machine.
Bishop, Texas, Aug. 26.—
Three Price-Campbell cotton
pickers were unloaded at Bishop
this morning. Theodore H.
Price, with experts, arrived in
the city yesterday. '
Two of the pickers, which are
operated by gasoline, were driven
to the farm of G. P. Massey,
east of town, and placed in shape
for demonstration in the after-
noon in a field containing about
one-third of a bale to the acre.
In eleven minutes the machine
picked 64 pounds, getting 90 per
cent of the cotton and leaving
the stalks without damaging
even the tender leaves.
On Tuesday a special train of
farmers will arrive at Bishop
from Corpus Christi to witness
another and more prolonged
demonstration.
One of the pickers unloaded
today has been purchased by F,
Z. Bishop and associates and
will be operated in Nueces coun-
ty. This is the first machine
sold by the Price-Campbell peo-
ple.
Mrs. C. R. Southwell, of San
Antonio, and Miss Enola Free-
man, of Austin, are guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Massey.
Miss Berenice Taylor has gone
to Caldwell to spend a time with
her brother, Wade Taylor, who
is in business there.
Mrs. C. R. Hubbard has gone
to Temple where she will visit
her friend, Mrs. Wm. Ginnuth,
for some time. She left Colonel
Hubbard in the charge of friends
who will see that he conducts
himself properly.
Master Willie Withers, who
has been visiting his grandmoth-
er, Mrs. P. H. Taylor, has re-

Austin, Tex., Aug. 24.—James

of Willie Haynie as president was
tendered and accepted, and Ver-
non Proffitt was elected to fill the
place. An elegant lunch was
served after the business meet-
ing and the whole time was a de-
lightful one.
Welch was shot twice through
the body and died an hour later.
Tyler came to Austin in 1906 and
was sent to the insane asylum,
but was returned to the Confede-
rate home after a year spent in
the asylum.
J. B. Allen, from the Doran
farm in San Saba county, was
among the visitors here Monday
and made The Leader a pleasant
call. He is doing well in his new
home, where he is cultivating ir-
rigated land. His wife, who was
raised in this county near Nix,
had a startling experience a few
days ago, when a wolf disturbed
her chickens in the day time.
There being no men about the
place, Mrs. Allen took the gun
and fired upon the wolf and for-
tunately killed the animal, thus
stopping further trouble. The
husband is almost as proud of
this effort of the good lady as she
herself is.
