Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mace and
little daughter Albertine, will
from now on be at home to their
friends at the residence of Mrs.
Charles Witcher. For the past
year they have resided in the
cottage adjoining Judge Thomas’.
The many friends of Mrs. Gor-
don Scott will be glad to hear
that she is expected to arrive this
week on a visit to her mother,
Mrs. C. R. Leverett. She will be
accompanied by her little daugh-
ter, Berniece Elizabeth, but not
by Misses Ruby and Alice Lever-
ett, the two latter young ladies
having decided to spend the
winter in Nevada, Mo.
The boys have invented a new
way of playing “shinny” and
some of them are getting more
experience • than fun from the
game. A little son of Mr. and
Mrs. T. R. Colbert was badly cut
on the upper lip Wednesday
while playing this game, a tin
can being used instead of the old
fashioned way of using a ball.
Jt was necessary to call in a phy-
sician to sew up the lip of the
young man where it was cut.
Boy will have their fun, and the
fact that they now and then get
a little hurt while at play seems
to make such sport all the more
desirable.
The Leader would be much
pleased to see an epidem ic of
sidewalk building strike the resi-
dence portion of Lampasas.
Many places could be improved
by merely building walks of
gravel, but all lots under the hill
should be provided with cement
or concrete walks, and these
would add much to the comfort
of all who have to walk, also add
to the value of the property.
The day of the free mail delivery
for this city will come one of
these days, and the government
inspector will not recommend
any place for free delivery until
comfortable sidewalks are con-
structed. Why wait until we are
forced to do what we ought to do
for own protection.
