At the last meeting of the city
council it was decided to give the
Civic League twelve trash cans
with hinged lids, the receptacles
to be about 18 inches in diameter
and three feet in height, same to
be emptied by the city haulers
twice a week. When bids are
made for them it may be decided
to make cans larger if the council
sees fit. A contract for their
construction is to be let immedi-
ately and the league is very
grateful for the gift from the au-
thorities.
Tag day was a decided success,
the soliciting ladies clearing
$101.55. Mr3. Greenwood, as
vice-president, was unceasing in
her efforts, and Mrs. C. D. Stokes
has the honor of raising $50 of
the whole amount. ’All others
who made sales are to be con-
gratulated, and the ladies wish to
express thanks to the donors for
their generosity (a number of
merchants contributing $5 each)
and their appreciation of Mr.
Hoffmann’s courtesy in allowing
his store to be made headquarters.

high elevations fevers prevail, while on
the lower levels malaria is encountered
to a greater or less extent, according to
altitude. To overcome climate affections
lassitude, malaria,jaundice,biliousness,
fever and ague, and general debility,
the most effective remedy is Electric

purifier; the antidote for every form of
bodily weakness, nervousness, and in-
somnia. Sold under guarantee at the
Lion Drug Store. Price 50c.
Cotton showed a marked ad-
vance at the opening Monday,
and retained an advance at the
end of that day amounting to
$1.50 per bale. It is said that
many who need cotton for con-
tracts are short and that the mar-
ket will probably show a further
advance.
Mr. John Riba of Yining, la., says:
“I have been selling DeWitt’s Kidney
and Bladder Pills for about a year and
they give better satisfaction than any
pill I ever sold.” Sold by Burrell &
Skaggs.
Blue Monday.
Monday in ministerial parlance
was “Blue Monday.” It was also
the first Monday or “Stray sale
day.” Incidentally there was an
open air moving picture exhibit
in the city'which attracted quite
a crowd of those desiring to see
some new thing. But notwith-
standing these things a repre-
sentative congregation heard
Evangelist Bandy in a thought-
ful sermon on “The Destiny of
the Righteous, the Ungodly and
the Sinner.”
The singing was good and the
solo by Mr. McKinney a sermon
in song, but a sermon told in such
a sweet way that the sentiment
took hold of the heart. Tonight
Mr. McKinney will sing “God
Calling Yet.”
The morning service was well
attended, and the heart talk by
the evangelist was one of the best
sermons that he has yet delivered.
Those desiring a deeper spirit-
ual life are specially invited to
attend the morning worship.
The subject for the evening
will be “The Way, the Truth and
the Life.” The public is cor-
dially invited. X
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are
small, safe, sure and gentle little pills.
Sold by Burrell & Skaggs.

The election of Saturday re-
sulted in a victory for Senator
Bailey and his associates by a
majority of about 25,000 votes.
This county went against the sen-
ator by a majority of 193, out of
a total vote of 649. The polls
were open at every box in the
county, except one. t
One of the delightful affairs
which occurred Saturday and re-
ceived no mention was the an-
nual high school picnic. The
trip to the Lampasas river was
made on the Santa Fe, and the
party included the teachers, the
senior class, and a few others.
Boating and fishing rounded out
the usual picnic program and the
jolly day brought the student
body in closer relations with their
instructors. The affair was per-
fect in every way and will always
be looked back upon with pleas-
ure by those in attendance.
Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup does
not constipate, but on the other hand
its laxative principles gently move the
bowels. Children like it. Sold by Bur-
rell & Skaggs.
Congress has appropriated
$250,000 to the relief of the storm
sufferers in Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi.
Farmers are busy all over this
section, many of them having to
replant both corn and cotton on j
account of the freeze of last week,
others are busy clearing their
crops of weeds and grass.

tors of Augusta, Ga., failed Mon-
day with liabilities of a million

America.

The conference of the pastors
and workers of the Lampasas
Baptist association ' held here
Monday was conceded a great
success. These meetings are
held monthly, thus bringing a
co-operation and comparison of
notes of success among those who
are leading the cause in the
j bounds of this work.
Dear Sir: A new word has come into
use in paint; it is strong. Strong paint
is paint as strong as paint can be.
Weak paint is not so strong.
If one paint takes 10 gallons to do a
job arid another 15, the 10-gallon paint
is the stronger.
If one paint wears 10 years, and an-
other 5, the 10-year paint is the stonger.
The strongest paint is the one that
takes least gallons and wears longest.
But do such differences exist? Yes,
and greater. Devoe is the strongest of
all. A job that takes 10 gallons Devoe
takes more than 20 of some. And a job
of Devoe wears several time as long as
a job of some paints.
O E Perry, East 8th St., Erie, Pa.,
painted two houses same size; same
time; with two paints same price; took
8 gallons Devoe to 4- of the other; and
in three years Devoe was the better
looking job.
There are strong and weak paints;
we all want the strongest; paint can’t
be too strong.
46 Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co,,
P. S. Sam Dickens & Bro. sell our
paint. d-w

Miss Sadie Campbell reports
tha^even after the beauties of
California, Lampasas looks good
to her. Just before leaving Los
Angeles it was Miss Campbell’s
pleasure to see the wonderful
fleet and meet many distinguished
officers. She was also present
at numerous social functions
given on board.
Mrs. Rhoda Allen, living near
Ogle, suffered very serious and
painful injuries Friday, resulting
from a runaway. Her horse be-
came frightened at a flock of
turkeys and she was thrown to
the ground, one limb being
broken and scalp wounds being
inflicted. She is not yet out of
danger.
Relief From Rheumatic Pains.
“I suffered with rheumatism for over
two years.” says Mr. Rolland Curry', a
patrolman, of Key West, Fla. ‘‘Some-
times it settled in my knees and lamed
me so 1 could hardly walk, at other
times it would be in my feet and hands
so I was incapacitated for duty One
night when I was in severe pain and
lame from it my wife went to the drug-
store here and came back with, a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I was
rubbed with it and found the pain had
nearly gone during the night. I kept
on using it for a little more than two
weeks and found that it drove the rheu-
matism away. I have not had any
trouble from that disease for over three
months. For sale by all Druggists.
The Com Crop Killed.
Interviews with farmers from
different parts of this and Burnet
counties lead to the conclusion
that the corn crop which was up
to yesterday morning the most
forward and promising in the
history of this country, is now
practically all dead. Much of
this crop was as high as the waist
of a man, and had jointed as
high as six inches or more above
the ground, and the cold de-
scended to the joints, and the
stalks are already falling over
dead. This loss is a severe one
on the farmers as it is now too
late to plant with any definite
hope of getting an average crop,
and they will be compelled to
substitute other crops for feed.
Many of them will plant June
corn, milo maize, kaffir corn and
other crops of this character, and
some of them will plant the land
upon which the corn has failed,
in cotton.

The many friends here of Mrs.
E. M. King will regret to learn of

tives in Flamburge, Ark. Her

lanta, Ga. Mrs. King lived here
