H. C. Townsen was in from his
home on the Lampasas river
Monday, and paid The Leader a
pleasant business call. He is
one of a number Of the Townsen
brothers, and stays with his farm
and ranch interests, thus making
them a source of both pleasure
and profit. It is always a pleas-
ure to meet him.
G. W. Holloman, from out on
the Lampasas river, was here
Monday and had the dates on
The Leader and Dallas News ad-
vanced. He is one of the suc-
cessful raisers of small grain,
and Infrequently markets great
quantities of oats here. He is
happy and ^tisfied as a farmer
and thafeis tfrorth much in any
Mrs. C. O. Witcher has gone to

ing the new styles in millinery
and ladies’ headwear. She will

J, G. Smallwood of the Bend,
was here after supplies and made
The Leader a pleasant business
call. He is farming by irrigation
as well as on dry land and will
plant onions in addition to crops
of cotton, corn and other feed.
Mr. Smallwood is a practical man
and knows .how to make his work
bring the best results. Lam-
pasas county can accommodate
many more such farmers.
E. A. McNett writes The Lead-
er that he will move in a short
time from Port Lavaca, where he
has been living for some years,
to Skidmore, Bee county, where
he will make his home. Mr. Mc-
Nett was raised here and has
grown up in the nursery and
small fruit business, and it may
be that he is now going to branch
out into oranges, as Bee county
is becoming noted for its young
orange orchards.
HjlL.Brown, of the Kempner
section, \Gts here Monday and
paid his rejspects and his sub
•scription to) The Leader. He is
one of the young men who has
learned early in life to love his
work and is riot all ashamed or
afraid for all to J^now that he
makes his living ^work. There
is success out before such young
men, and they will not be com-
pelled to await old age before
realping the fruit of their labors.
Some of the farmers are plant-
ing corn, and by the last of next
week many fields will have been
planted. The failure of this im-
portant crop for the past two or
Ahree years makes it necessary
to begin early and give extra
care to it, and it is hoped success
will crown the efforts made this
year to have plenty of the best
feed in the world—good old fash-
ion corn in the ear—made at
home and stored in our own
barns.
Mrs. Eunice Cagle, of the Bend
section, will accept thanks for
her remittance which came
through the medium of her hus-
band, who is one of the leading
farmers of that prosperous sec-
tion. Mr. Cagle took time by the
forelock and added a year more
to the subscription, putting the
dates up to 1913. Thanks to both.
There is a picture of a train of
37 cars loaded with wool at
Stokes Bros. & Co’s., a present
to C. D. Stokes from the Santa
Fe railroad. This train load of
wool was purchased by C. D.
Stokes and shipped from San
Angelo last season1; it being only
a part of his large purchases in
Texas. Mr. Stokes is the larg-
est purchaser of Wool in Texas.
J. N. James, who is said to live
in both Burnet and Lampasas
counties—his house being on the
line—was here Monday and paid
The Leader a pleasant visit, re-
newing the paper for his daugh-
ter and having the Dallas^Nlews
sent to his address. Mr. James
ranks with the older citizens of
this section, and rarely fails to
have plenty for himself and his
stock, but the failure of the corn
crop last year caused him and
others trouble which he does not
often experience.
Notice.
All persons having claims
against J. D. Hoy or who may in
any way be indebted to him can
have such accounts adjusted by
leaving same at the Moore Hotel,
or calling there.

E. Brooks received a message
Monday stating that his brother,
F. M. Brooks, had dropped dead/
at his home near Wylie, Dallas1
county, at noon that day. Mr* *-
Brooks left Monday night to be
present at the burial. The de-
ceased was about 65 years of
age, and had lived at or near
Wylie for many years. He was
a man of considerable means and
wide influence in his community.
The friends of Mr. Brooks here
sympathize with him in his be-
reavement.
Mrs. A. E. Casteel and her
daughter, Miss Tichia, were here
and made The Leader a pleasant
call. Mrs. Casteel owns a nice
farm just three miles west of
Kempner and for several years
has matu|ged it herself, and at
the sam'd time kept the daughter
in school. They think of moving
to Lampasas on account of the
educational advantages which
may be had here.

T. M. Baker, from near Briggs,
Burnet county, has purchased
from A. R. Roberts, of the Center
community, two hundred acres of
land, and will move to that sec-
tion soon. Messrs. Roberts and
Baker were here Monday clos-
ing up the deal. Mr. Baker sub-
scribed for The Leader in order
to get some information about
this section before moving.
Schwarz & Hoffmann sell Pa-
• i
risian Sage for 50 cents a large
bottle, and guarantee it to stop
falling hair, itching scalp, and to
banish dandruff, or money
back. dw
H. L. Millstead, the. man who
makes a good part of his living
from handling, milking and feed-
ing a herd of excellent jersey
cattle, was in to see The Leader
Monday. He says the way to
have plenty of feed in this part
of Texas is always to plant plenty
of millet, oats, sorghum and oth-
er roughness and enough corn to
feed the horse. He says he hard-
ly knows how to feed a horse
properly without corn in the ear,
and there are others of us who
having been brought up that
way, are in the same condition.
“Ten ears of corn and two bun-
dles of fodder” are words which
have a very natural sound to
many now living in Texas.
