'The Obliging Druggists
Black Brothers, who are
ranching a few milds north of
Lampasas, report that their stock
is doing well, and especially are
the sheep going through the
winter in good condition. They
made a practice of selling off
part of their flocks almost every
year, thus keeping the best and
making them thrive. They are
practical wool growers and al-
ways get towards the top in price
lor their wool.
Mrs. J. J. Greenwood, of Aus-
tin, passed through here Wednes-
day on her way to Rochelle
where she v/ill visit a son.
Wfiere The increase Is Going.
The high cost of living is at-
tracting universal attention.
The increase has been assigned
to various causes—among which
are the tariff, control of produc-
tion by trusts, short supplies of
food and other things, and an
overproduction of gold.
It is impossible to assign to
each of these influences the exact
part which it may have had, but
the Department of Agriculture
has gathered some figures which
seem to show that the farmers, a-C
any rate, have benefited by the
rise in prices.
Taking the average prices of
farm products between the years
1896 and 1900 as a basis, it is
found that the cost of all com-
modities has increased nearly
one-quarter. Farm crops and
live stock, on the other hand,'
have increasad more than three-
quarters during the same period.
Horses have advanced in value
two and one-half times, and
mules nearly as much; swine and
sheep, one and one-half times;
cattle, one and one-quarter.
In cereal crops there has been
a like increase. Corn has more
than double in price—a fact j
which, of course, has an impor-
tant bearing on the increased
cost of beef and pork. Potatoes
have almost doubled, and wheat
has advanced to one and one-
half times its value ten years ago.
Cotton, a fair price of which used
to be ten cents, has gone up to
sixteen cents, but the prices of
cotton goods have advanced less
prosperity amoug the agricul-
tural population is always reflect-
ed in the improved conditions
of manufacturing, transportation
and general business.—Youth’s
Companion.
Burnet Sales Day.
Monday, February 21, will be
observed by the citizens of
Burnet town and county as sales
day, and on the public square
and at the yards, there will " be
many stock and other things on
exhibition for sale. Merchants
will also offer special price in-
ducements that day, and a great
time is expected. All who have i
good stock either to show or to
sell are invited to have them
present. The desire of the pro-
moters is to make this a perma-
nent exhibit and rally day for
the people of the town and ^coun-
try. wit

W. B. Abney is putting a new
fence around his residence prop-
erty. ______
Ed Millican has gone to Brown-
wood and other points on busi-
ness.
J. S. Taylor has returned from Sthan twenty-five per cent.
a trip to Galveston and Shreves-
port, La.
Mr. F. J. Harris has returned
from her visit at Brady, bringing
her little nephew, Jack Deaton,
with her.
It is evident from these figures
that the farmer is receiving at
least an adequate share of the
fruits of prosperity; but no one
need grudge it to him. Farm
labor has been notoriously un-
derpaid in the past. Moreover,
Tom Casbeer, now county
treasurer of Crockett county,
sends The Leader his regards
along with a proper remittance
for his paper. He is one of these
numerous Casbeer brothers and
is doing nicely in the west.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Lowe, who
have been in Lampasas for two
or three weeks on account of the
illness of the children of their
son, H. E. Lowe, returned home
Wednesday evening. They have
been continual subscribers of
The Leader for eleven years, and
say it is the one periodical they
can never make upgtheir minds
to do without.
Clayton and Grundyville Items.,
(By Auntie.)
We had a nice rain last week.
It is making the small grain grow
very fast.
Some of the farmers are break-
ing land some sowing oats. Some
of them who had their land broke
have now cut it with the disc
harrow, and it is ready for the
planting of corn, There ^should
be an abundance of corn planted
this year.
Rube Duke returned from
Temple Monday where he has
been having his eyes treated.
His physician dismissed him and
said his eyes were o. k. He has
now gone to San Saba county to
see about some land he has out
there.
Will Cole’s family is about
well again, after a case of diph-
theria and other sickness in the
family.
Miss Alma Terry visited her
sister, Mrs. Emmett Terry, at
Lampasas this week.
Mrs. J. R. Gee attended the
Pastors’ and Workers’ confer-
ence at Lampasas Monday.
The many friends of Rev. A.
A. B. Jenkins regret to hear of
the serious illness of his wife at
Lampasas. We trust that she
will speedily recover.
Joe Gee and Miss Ruth Lan-
drum, Len Corbin and Miss Ma-
mie Emswiler attended the pro-
tracted mooting at Kempner Sun-
day.
Mr. Norred returned this week
from a business trip.
Mrs. Luther White who has
been visiting her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Tom Hallmark, has
gone to her new home at Miles.
Mr. Crawford and family have
moved to their new home known
as the Jordan and Middick
ranch.
Marion Middick left last week
for New Mexico, where he has
gone to locate. His family will
not go until he finds a location.
Howard Shannon went with him
to look for a location also. We
sincerely hope that New Mex-
ico will not suit him and that
he will return to Lampasas.
Howard Shannon’s place will be
hard to fill here. He was always
at his post at church, Sunday
school or anywhere he could be
useful. We don’t see how Clay-
ton and Grundyville will get
along without him.
Mr. Smithwick is building us a
good road. There should be a
plank railing on some of the cul-
verts as it is dangerous to drive
oyer them.
Mr. Craft who has been sick,
is reported much better.
W. W. Allen is doing nicely
after a spell of the grip.
Miss Bessie Allen is visiting
relatives in Lampasas this week.
Everybody Invited.
Considerable interest is center-
ed in the coming to our city of E;
T. Coward, of Brooklyn, N. Y.

of free Bible lectures, and his
territory covers quite a number
of southern states—he will prob-
ably go from here to Florida.
Mr. Coward’s treatment of his
subjects has been favorably com-
mented upon by ministers of
nearly all denominations. He
will speak at the Central Chris-
tian church here Sunday, Feb-
ruary 13, at 4 p. m., subject:
“The object of our Lord’s second
coming.” Monday night at 7:30
the subject will be, “The manner
of His second advent.” All de-
nominations welcome. No col-
lection. X
