Several Injured in Dallas Fire.
Dallas, July 15.—-Several per-
sons were injured in a fire here
today which gutted the Loeb Dye

an explosion of gasoline.
The explosion hurled George
Npbrum, a negro dyer, through
a plate glass window into the
* street. L. B. Weaver, proprie-
tor, was burned on the body and
arms. S. L. Malone, Mrs. Aral
Kincade and Miss Victoria Todd
were burned in trying to aid
Weaver.

* Library Notes.
The ladies of the Library As-
sociation are in need of a glass
show case for the display and
protection of articles kept on
sale in the reading room. If
any business man, or firm has
one they can lend for this pur-
pose, please kindly notify the
librarian, and their generosity
will be much appreciated as well
as help a very worthy cause.
All plates and trays that were
not looked after by their owners
at the time of the “cake contest”
were taken to the Library hall
and a notice to that effect was
published in The Leader, but
quite a nnmber still remain un-
called for. Miss Guerrero will
be glad to be relieved of their
care, as some of them might eas-
ily get broken. XX
Marriages Reported.
On June 2, 1912, at the home
of Rev. G. W. Patterson, M. W.
Hatley and Miss Sallie Gilbert
were united in marriage.
On the night of July 13th, at
the residence of Rev. G. W. Pat-
terson, H. B. Brown and Miss

H. C. Cobb, of Mullin, Mills
county, is on his annual visit to
Lampasas.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Butler and
children, of Comanche, are guests
of Mr. and Mrs. T, C. Bivins.
Misses Ina Fox, Della Votaw
and Dan Briggs were guests of
Lampasas friends Sunday.
Chas. Tumlinson, Jr., brought
The Leader some samples of his
dry land corn, large ears, well
filled and nicely matured. It is
good to know there is bread in
the land.
Messages received here state
that Will Griffin is dangerously
ill at Hassell, New Mexico, and
Miss Annie Allard and Mrs. B.
W. Griffin and her son, Dave
Griffin, have gone to Hassell to
assist in caring for the young
man.
J. M. Peacock brought The
Leader a sample of his dry land
corn, an ear full ten inches in
length* every grain perfect and
well filled. If it should be that
there is plenty of corn as Veil
filled and matured as this sample
there can be no such thing as
want in this country, Mr. Pea-
cock is a successful farmer and
believes in having plenty of corn.
Rev. Buren Sparks is here to
remain during the encampment.
He has just closed a successful
meeting at Killeen, the pfeach-
ing being done principally by
Rev. J. Frank Norris. There
were more than 70 additions to
the church and the entire com-
munity was greatly revived by
the meeting. Many of the old
topers in the church threw away
their bottles and contents and
resolved to lead new lives.
My transfers meet all trains
and I furnish conveyance to any
point. J. C. Earnest. d-w
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Richard-
son, of the Adamsville sedtion,
were pleasant callers on The
Leader. They had just returned
from a visit to Hamilton and re-
port crops there about like they
are in this section. Mr. Rich-
ardson was born in the town of
Hamilton, and says it has im-
proved wonderfully in the past
few years. Mr. Richardson is
one of the noted corn growers of
this county and says his corn is
good this year;
Family All to Be Here.
Dr. S. S. Munger came in from
Marlin Tuesday morning; Rev.
Henry Munger and family arriv-
ed from Waco Tuesday evening;
W. C. Munger, of Houston, has
been here some days. There was
a partial family re-union at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Y.
Stokes at the noon hour Tuesday
and it is planned that there will
be a larger and more complete
one at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
H. F. Lewis on Wednesday, as
Mrs. Eloise Woods will arrive
Wednesday morning and it is
planned to have the brothers and
sisters, husbands and wives as
far as possible all presen t.
Rev. Henry Munger and fam-
ily are on their way to Epworth-
by-the-Sea, where they will have
charge of the music during the
annual Sunday school encamp-
ment.
Col. R. M. Wynne, superin-
tendent of the State Confederate
Boqcre, died at Austin, Monday
afternoon at 5 o’clock. The body
Was taken to Fort Worth for in-
terment. He was 68 years of age
and had been prominet ih Texas
affairs for many years.
Scripture Quotation.
“And the tongue is a fire, a
world of iniquity * * and setteth
on fire the course of nature, and
it is set on fire of hell.”
Faith in the Market-Place.
When the luncheon bell rang
the minister, leaving his study,
sat down at the table with his
family.
“I have brought with me a
paragraph,” he said. “I wish
you would tell me who wrote it.”
From a sheet of paper he read
the following sentence: “The
supreme need of the.hour is not
elastic currency, or sounder
banking, or better protection
against panic, or bigger navies,
or more equitable tariffs, but a
revival of faith, a return to a
morality which recognizes a basis
in religion.”
“You wrote it yourself,” said
one of the boys.
“No,” said his father. “The
thought is one I have used in my
sermons more than once, but I
did not write the paragraph.
Who do you think did?”
First they named other minis-
ters, and then various religious
papers.
“You are getting nearer tojit,”
said he. “It is from a newspa-
per, but I am not sure that I may
call it a religious newspaper;
The sentence is from the Wall
Street .Journal.
The next Sunday he quoted the
sentence in a sermon in which he
pointed out the business value
not only of morality, but of faith;
the necessity that men have faith
in one another, faith in their
own and in their neighbor’s in-
tegrity, faith that the universe is
sound at heart, faith that religion
has its sanction even in the law
of supply and demand.
At the close of the sermon sev-
eral business men asked to be
permitted to copy the quotation.
“Does it surprise you,” he asked
them, to find such a sentence in
a financial paper? But no one
was surprised; each in turn de-
clared that his own contact with
successful business men had
taught him that no one recognized
more clearly than they the value
of the world of a commercial jus-
tice and honor founded on sincere
religious faith.—Youth’s Com-
panion.
