m m nnnn r~\ r orr Pi Dll 1 ill H , M
Shis morning' at 2 o’clock at the
.(residence of her son, M.D. Alex-
ander, in west Lampasas, and
was caused by complication of
diseases, heart trouble prevail-
ing'. A little over three months
,*gp, Mrs, Thompson came to her
son’s for a visit and on the very
aext day was taken ill, and has
been confined to her bed ever
since.
Her first husband, who died
during the war, was James Alex-
ander. She later married C. P.
Thompson who survives her.
,She would have been 74 years of
age had she lived until Septem-
ber 28th, She was once a mem-
ber of the Christian church but
for thirty years had belonged to
Mie Baptist church. She was a
zealous Christian and never once
(luring her months of suffering
was she heard to complain. But
soften remarked that it was provi-
dential that she came to Lampa-
sas before she was taken ill, that
she might be well cared for dur-
ing her sickness. She is sur-
vived by three sons, M. D., of
$his place, F. L., of Winters, and
William, of Joppa, all of whom
were with her in her last hours,
;,6& also W. A. Camblin and wife,
aelatives from Center.
The funeral services were
conducted at the Alexander resi-
dence this morning at 11 o’clock,
by Rev. W. H. McGee, and the
wemains were taken to Bear Creek
■cemetery, near Bertram, on the

The Methodist meeting has
closed. Three members were
added to the church. Rev. Mr.
Barton of Lorheta did some good
preaching. They had ten camps
and it was a sure enough camp-
meeting.
Mr. Craft has returned from a
trip to the San Angelo country.
He reports things there as dis-
tressingly dry—no crops, no
grass and little water, everybody
wanting to sell out. He had a
fall while out west that bruised
his face considerably, but is all
right now. He says things look
good to him in Lampasas county.
Most of the farmers here are
rather blue; little corn will be
made, and ail the squares are
dying on the cotton, some of them
never bloom. The stalk of the
early cotton looks very well until
you examine it, and you find all
the squares are dead. A rain at
once would save the cotton crop,
to wait two weeks will be a com-
plete failure.

Moisey from Small farms.
The more one investigates the
of land, the clearer becomes
Ids conviction that, anywhere
*nd everywhere in this country^
land in its productiveness is just
about what the cultivator makes
», provided he has, to start with,
neasonabiy good soil.
Near Los Angeles lives an old
«aa and his wife who own a
aiue-acre fruit and flower farm,
from which they get an infinite
amount of delight, along with a
aery considerable sum of sur-
plus money to put in the^bank
m invest otherwise every year.
Thousands ofjmiies distant from
California, way down in Florida,
as a man who is taking nearly
$1,500 a year out of one acre of
Sand which he has tilled for gar-
den truck.
In Virginia, New England,
Michigan, Washington and Ore-
gon there are orchardists pluck-
ing from single trees fruit worth
from $40 to $80 per acre.
Everywhere it is the same. It
all depends or. the man who gets
&ie land. Whether he deals in
lye stock, in grain, fruit or gar-
ien truck, if he knows hi3 busi-
»ess, generous nature will return
ftim such rewards for his gump-
tion and industry as it is now
possible in any other line of
affort.—Pittisburg Gazette Times.

Irrigation From Sulphur Fork.
It was the pleasure and privil-
ege of this editor to visit the irri-
gation farm of E. J. Noyes, three
miles east of Lampasas Wednes-
day evening. Mr. Noyes w-as
busy with his immense gasoline
engine, which raises above the
level of the surrounding lands
about 1200 gallons of water every
minute for ten hours of the day.
In the field he has hands who
distribute the water over the cot-
ton lands as needed, the work
showing an average of
and generally through the chan-
nel of exaggeration and misrep-
resentation.
“Honesty must be a fixed pol-
icy in every business, but let that
policy be dictated by an inherent
principle and guided by a sense
of justice,'seeking the reward of
consciousness or right-doing
first, and the material success
that follows will be a just reward. .
“Now let. qs be honest neither
from policy alone nor from prin-
ciple only, but let us give some
thought to those whose names we
bear and to those who in the fu-
ture may'bear ours; let us be
honest that we may carry unsul-
lied to the grave the names our
sainted fathers left us and leave
a heritage equally fair for those
who oome after us.
“Remember that in our youth
our future holds too much to
mortgage it with dishonest deal-
ing, and in old age a life built on
such principles will have made
too good a name to blacken with
wrong doing.”
