The prevailing fashion now is
cotton picking. Almost every-
one who is able to pick is after
the fleecy staple. The continued
dry weather has made it open
very fast, and the cry is for cot-
ton pickers on every hand. There
is not such a big crop, but all of
the cotton is opening much earlier
than usual. It is a much better
sample if picked before a rain.
Howard Shannon, Will Cole (

W. G. Moore attended church
it Lampasas Sunday.
Miss Irene Jackson and Oscar
Taldwell visited Harry Moore and
wife Sunday.
Mrs. Ed S. Moore has been sick
with rheumatism, but is better.
Miss Estelle Martin visited
Misses Jackson and Caldwell re-
cently.
You have probably been feeding cotton seed because you did not
have the meal and hulls offered in exchange, but you can now trade
your seed and save what you have been wasting. Compare the price
of meal and hulls with cotton seed, corn chops, hay, bran, or any other
feed, and you will be surprised at the saving you can effect by using
meal and hulls.
Your feed bill is too high if you do not use meai and huils.
Meai and hulls are about one-third the price of other feeds.
Meal and hulls are cheaper than cotton seed. /'
Bring us your cotton seed, and patronize Home Industry.

get our community happenings

times gathering the fleecy staple
which is opening so rapidly it
cannot be gathered fast enough.
There has been some sickness,
such as stomach trouble, which
has been epidemic for the past
week. No serious cases have
been reported, a little home treat-
ment being all that is necessary
to cure.
Ed McCrea has gone to Roby, I

live. Ed is a good, industrious
boy and his many friends are
prone to give him up, and hopes
are entertained that he will de-
cide old Lampasas county is as
good as the one just ahead.
H. A. McCrea has gone to Lo-
meta to look for a residence to
move into next week. The Mc-
Creas’ are the pioneers of this
community having lived here
continuously for some time be-
fore the Civil war, and many
friends regret to give them up.
They will still continue to hold
the ranch, with Albert McCrea to
superintend the business of the
home and ranch and run the
Bachelors’s ranch there this year.

rented his farm and ranch to Mr.

Mr. and Mrs. Matthews and
D. N. Rogers went to Lometa
to attend the Methodist confer-
ence there Monday.
The local rains which fell a
few days ago-failed to reach here.
However, it is a good time to
save cotton nice and dry. Farm-
ers have prospered but some are
restless to flee to the country
where it has rained so much this
year. The good country is al-
ways ahead, but never reached.
Contentment is a continual feast.
Friends and neighbors met Sun-
day evening at Grandma Mc-
Crea’s to once more have a soci-
able gathering at the old family
home. Music and singing by
the young folks, and a good time
spent with .the older ones - re-

bought out east to replenish the
ranch he is superintending. The
firm styles it McCrea’s Bachelor
ranch.

who have been visiting friends
here for some days, have return-
ed to their home at Goldthwaite,

days after leaving here.
