Lampasas on Main Line.
Much talk has been made for
the past several years in regard
to the proposed cutoff of the San-
ta Fe, and no doubt seems to ex-
ist that the “cutoff” will finally
rife as to whether the short line
would start from Brownwood or
Coleman, but it seems certain
that one or the other of those
places will be selected as the
starting point, with Texico as the
connecting point with the Santa
Fe system at the other end.
Whatever is done, it is sure that
Lampasas will be on the Main
Line from Galveston to Califor-
nia, and that the distahce will be
shortened several hundred miles.
The Fort Worth Record recently
contained the following on this
important subject:
Evidently the Santa Fe is pre-
paring for early c onstruetion of
its long proposed line from Cole-
man to Texico, the object of
which is to afford an air line be-
tween San Francisco and Galves-
ton.
Surveyors are now at work
around Merkel and the under-
standing is that this engineering
work is for the purpose of locat-
ing the exact route. This infor-
mation was brought to Ft. Worth
by George S. Berry, president of
the First National Bank of Merk-
el, and one of the foremost citi-
zens of that section of the state.
For several days the engineers
have been at work in the vicinity
of Merkel and, it is understood,
have surveyed from Coleman-to
that point. It is expected that
the survey will be extended on
across the great plains country
to Texico, on the New Mexico-
Texas border, to a connection
with the transcontinental line of
the Santa Fe.
Two surveys have been made
for this proposed line within the
past several years and it has
been accepted as assured for
some time that the Santa Fe will
eventually build the road. For-
mer surveys have not led direct-
ly by Merkel, but the present one
goes within close proximity to the
town, and if this latter route is
adopted it would seem probable
that Merkel will get the exten-
sion. The proposed line will ev-
idently traverse the counties of
Coleman, Taylor, Jones, Fisher,
Kent, Lubbock, Garza, Lamb,
Bailey and Palmer, only two or
three of which are favored with
railroad faeilitis.
AVbile such a line would open
and develop a rich country that
would prove productive of [heavy
tonage, the main object of the
Santa Fe is to connect San Fran-
cisco and Galveston with an air
line. At present the Santa Fe
operates from Galveston via Ft.
Worth and north through lower
Kansas, thence back down to
Texico over the transcontinental
division, across Colorado and the
Rocky mountain district to Cali-
fornia. The proposed extension
wrould cut off several hundred
miles of the present route of Gal-
veston-San Francisco business
and would therefore seem one'of
the most feasible railroad projects
now open.

Lines From Lometa l
(By O. C. Casional )
Lometa is getting to be about!
as dry as the most ardent prohi-
bitionist could wish.
During all the showery weath-
er we got a few sprinkles where
others got good rains.
We were out among the farm-
ers some last week, and to us it
looks like they were between
somewhere and the deep blue sea.
Cotton is just about as large as
it should have been thirty days
ago. The weevils are already
getting in their work. We learn
that on many farms quite a lot
of forms have been punctured
and fallen off. All contain boll
weevils more or less matured. If
it rains these weevils will no
doubt mature and do .much dam-
age. If it does not rain the
weevils will not become sufficient-
ly numerous to do any material
damage, neither can cotton make
half a crop without more rain. 1
Our rotary well drill people
loaded their engine on the train
several weeks ago. They said
they were going to bring a more
powerful engine. We have not
seen them since.
Our chautauqua proved to be
a success financially and other-
wise.
Rev. E. Lynwood Crystal is
conducting a series of meetings
at the tabernacle. He bears ev-
ery mark of a true Christian gen-
tleman. Most all denominations
turn out to hear him and we have
heard nothing but favorable
comment from those who belong
to other churches.
Last Saturday the Lometa in-
dependent school district voted
on the proposition to issue bonds
to build a ten thousand dollar
school building. The bond issue
carried by a vote of seventy„-sev-
en for, to seventeen against. The
result is very gratifying to us.
We like to live in a community
where the people manifest so
much interest in the welfare of
their children.
There is some little sickness in
and around town.
W. J. Herring will commence
the erection of a fifteen hundred
dollar residence next week.
The Lometa gin company are
remodeling and improving their
gin here. They will add three
new gin stands, making eight in
all.
Fishing parties are the order
of the day now, conse-
quently we hear many stories
that sound “fishy”
Long Live the King!
Is the popular cry throughout European
countries; while in America, the cry of
the present day is “Long live Dr.King’s
New Discovery, King of throat and
lung remedies,” of which Mrs Julia
Ryder Paine, .Truro, Mass., says: “It
never fails to give immediate relief and
j to quickly cure a cough or cold.” Mrs.
Paine’s dpinion is shared by a majority
of the inhabitants of this country. New
Discovery cures weak lungs and sore
throats after all other remedies have
failed; and for coughs and colds it’s
the only sure cure. Guaranteed by
Burrell & Skaggs, druggists. 50c and
$1 Trial bottle free.

J. N. Long, the pleasant old
bachelor who has resided in the
neighborhood of Bachelor Peak
for many years, died on the 4th
of this month, and was buried
near his home. He came here in
1873, and was 76 years of age at
the time of his death. He was
pecliar in many ways, but was
one of nature’s noblemen and
has gone to a better country.

Revival Meetings.
Brownwood, Tex., July 15, ’07.
To the brethren, sisters and
friends of the Lampasas associa-
tion :
After some weeks of bodily suf-
fering, my physician tells me
that I can now return to my
work. With all my heart I thank
my Lord for health and strength
so that I can go back to my work.
I will be in the field in a few days.
O, may we pray much and work
mightily in these closing weeks
of the associational year, and
may they be the best in all our
lives for the Master’s service.

are yet to be conducted in the
Lampasas association:

Some meetings have been held
and others are to be arranged for.
The one purpose of these meet-
ings is to get Christians to be
more active in the Master’s serv-
ice and to lead the lost to Christ
—the only Savior of men, this
being done we honor our Lord
and Master.
I plead for a hearty co-opera-
tion of all Christians in this good-
ly field to pray with and for us,
who are to conduct these meet-
ings. May the God of power,
mercy and peace give us victory
over sin arid satan, in our efforts
to honor and glorify Him who is
the giver of every blessing.
C. V. Carroll,
Missionary of Lampasas Asso.
