Everything is pretty quiet in
this section right now. People
are picking cotton. ■
Dr. Harris who has been visit-
ing his mother, Mrs. Owen Bow-
en for the past few weeks, recu-
perating after a severe spell of
typhoid fever, had the misfortune
to be bitten by a spider last week
and was seriously ill for a short
time. He is now much improved
and will return to Ellis county
and locate at Italy.
Enos Bowen of California who
has been visiting his uncle, Per-
ry Bowen, for several days, left
Sunday for Temple to visit
friends. He will go from there
to the City of Mexico and spend
a while before returning home.
Mrs. Will Sparks, Miss Yera
-«md Master Robert are visiting
relatives in Bell county, and Mr.
Sparks is quite lonely, Robert
is still suffering from the effects
of a wire cut on his foot.
Milton Harmon will soon have
two additional rooms and a hall
to his house.
Ed Harmon is preparing to
put up a new barn to replace the
one destroyed by fire last winter.
Frank Harmon, Sr., and wife
were both on the sick list last
week but are out again.
Hobert, the little son of Perry
Bowen, was sick last week.
Mr. Booker Witt and wife,
Miss Gladys Bishop, of Wise
county, and James Hays, wife
and child of Osage, visited the
family of F. M. Hays last week.
Mr. Hays made two trips to
Gatesville last week. He is put-
ting up a new wind mill at his
residence. Wind mills are get-
ting to be very common in this
section.
Coryell county commissioners
court has . ordered a first class
road to be opened from Izora to
Pidcoke. The great need of this
section is open roads. Bain
needs one to Copperas Cove bad-
ly. The distance by the road
now traveled is sixteen miles. It
could be reached in twelve miles
if the road was straight, and if
the road was good the trip could
be easily made in half a day. At
present it takes a whole day. It
is time that the farmers were
waking up on this road question,
and the merchants too. Rural
free delivery with daily mails
will follow good open roads.
The telephone system is being
extended all over this section and
with proper co-operation and
management, may be made of
great benefit to the country peo-
ple. The novelty has worn off
and it is not so much abused as
formerly. With no written code,
but by common [consent, most
patrons respect the rights of oth-
ers.
The question of greatest inter-
est to the country people today,
is the establishment and main-
tainance of good schools. Many
of our best citizens . leave the
country and go to town to edu-
cate their children, leaving the
poorer people to get along with
schools in small, uncomfortable
bouses, maintained for only' a
few months each year. Whereas,
if they would co-operate in build-
ing first class schools and main-
taining them at least eight
months in the year, they would
not only enjoy the benefit of
country homes, but confer a
great blessing upon those who
are unable to leave the farm for
the benefit of city schools.
Perry Bowen is building an
elegant and commodious resi-
dence near Copperas Cove where
he will soon move his family in
order to enjoy better school fa-
cilities for his large family of
children. His present home will
be occupied by renters.
I. R. Grantham has sold his
farm to Jacob Jost and will move
to New Mexico or the Pan Han-
dle. Many regrets have been
expressed ay the friends of this
excellent family that they are
leaving the community.
W. N. Scott and family will
soon leave Topsey for their new
home at Adamsville.
Ernest Schkade has sold out
and will go west.
Frank Harmon Jr. made a trip
to Adamsville last week and en-
joyed it very much. He is get-
ting strong again and contem-
plates returning to business col-
lege at Waco soon. »
Rev. T. A. Leach filled his ap-
pointment at Harmon chapel
Sunday morning and night. He
has just returned from a visit to
Flatonia and we are glad to learn
that his grand-daughter who has
been dangerously ill, is some bet-
ter and hopes are now enter-
tained for.her recovery.
The Sunday school at Harmon
chapel, after a: vacation of two
months, will be opened heaff
Sunday, 15th, at 10 a. m.- Rev.
Parsons will preach at 11 a. m.
Newton Harman and Houston
Moseley who have many relatives
and friends in this community,
were among the seriously in-
jured by the boiler explosion at
Holland last week. Mr. Harmon
had a very narrow escape having
his hack torn all to pieces and
two horses so badly crippled that
they had to be killed.
Henry Woods of Bain who
made a trip to the Indian Terri-
tory and St. Louis is at home.
Jesse Patten who has been in
Jones county all summer, is at
home and will soon resume his
studies, at the State University.
Mrs. Moss’ father, J. B. Mc-
Ininch, started to New Mexico
on a business trip this week.
E, A. Moore visited W. A.
Roy and family Sunday. Mr.
Roy bought a flock of 257 sheep
from 1. R. Grantham last week.
Consideration $4.00 per head.
Mrs. Ruben Morgan’s father
and mother are visiting her , this
week. . ^
There was, a meeting of the
stockholders of the Bain tele-
phone line at R. E. SimpsorFs
Monday. A committee \tfas ap-
pointed to confer with the Izora
line in regard to connection with
them there. Bain reaches Cop-
peras Cove, Gatesville and Lam-
pasas via Topsey, but for local
conversation it would like con-
nection with Izora, and, it would
be convenient for the ’ Izora peo-
ple to reach a doctor at Bain.
Ted Fewell, of Kempner,
and Kirk Trousdale, of Slator,
have exchanged, places and will
soon move.
Topsey Sunday school was re-
organized Sunday with Samuel
Morgan superintendent and Mrs.
Nelson secretary.
There was a slight change in
the time card on the Santa Fe
Sunday, evening train going west
now arriving at'7:10, ihstead of
at 1:00, and the night train east
now arrives at 9:30. instead of
9:20'as heretofore. There was
no change in the time of the
morning trains.
There is a new son at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Groves,
some miles in the country.
C. C. Rambo, an experienced
salesman and stock keeper, has
a place for the fall with the Lam-
pasas Commerical Company.
