lie Hamner went to Galveston
Saturday. ^

day evening from Pecos City for
a short visit to his parents.
Eugene Philippe came over
from Marble Falls Saturday to
spend the week-end with his
parents.
Mrs. T. E. Rippy is home from
a visit of several weeks to Gal-
veston and Houston, and Mr.
Rippy is no longer a keeper of
“Bachelor Hall.”
J. M. Campbell, farmer and
ranchman from a few miles
southwest of Lampasas, was here
and made The Leader a pleasant
call.
F. L. Gordon, of Corsicana,
was among the visitors here this
week. He is a printer by trade
and made the Leader office a
pleasant call.
J. H. Berger has been appoint-
ed road master on the Santa Fe
road to succeed Dave Watson,
who expects to leave soon for
Montana.
H. C. Townsen, of the Lampa-
sas river, was in town Monday.
He thinks oats have been seri-
ously damaged by rust—more so
than wheat, but says the yield
will be good, nevertheless.
The attendance at the Sunday
schools was: Presbyterian 60,
collection $1.90; Baptist 97, col-
lection $4.35; Methodist 160, col-
lection $5.81; Christian 97, col-
lection $3.16.
A letter from Don Curran
states that he and his mother ar-
rived safely and on time at Ham-
ilton Ontario, where they will
spend the summer. He says the
people are just now plowing their
land, nothing is yet planted. The
city has a population of 200,000
and is right on Lake Ontario,
and is a flourishing place.
A. A. Williamson and family
were here this week from Me-
nardville, coming to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Williamson’s
father, Rev. W. D. Ellis.
Robert McCann, who has been
making his home in Lampasas
since last fall, was a pleasant
caller at the Leader office Satur-
day. He will probably return to
the work of teaching, for which
he will further qualify himself by
attending a summer normal
school.
G. A. Roberts, traffic chief of
the Southwestern Telephone Co.,
is spending the week here, and
the result of his presence is us-
ually an improvement in the
service.
Rev. I. N. Clack presented his
son, Burney, with a typewriter
on the completion of his studies
in the high school, and his
daughter, Ora K., with a beauti-
ful little gold watch on her pro-
motion to the high school.
Mrs. Wesley Smith sends The
Leader the boss onion which,
after the top and outside were
removed, weighed one and three-
eights pounds. This onion is of
the Bermuda variety and grew
from a set planted last fall. Mrs.
Smith says she has onions suffi-
cient to supply all the neighbors
and then some.
The hum of the sickle is heard
in the land and the mowers and
reapers will be busy for the next
several weeks. The oat and
wheat crop is far above the av-
erage, and the farmers are hop-
ing for good weather in which to
save the hay and grain. A large
part of the oat crop will be cut,
cured and baled for feed, most
of the farmers preferring it in
that form for feeding, as it is not
so subject to waste as when put
up in the bundle or threshed and
put into sacks.
G. D. Chambers, of Beehouse,
came in Tuesday and remained
over night. He reports crops
good, rust having done no dam-
age to oats in his section.
William Wittenberg, the well
known ranchman whose home is
near-the Colorado river in the
western part of this county, is
Rev. J. W. Cowan came in j dangerously ill, and his children
Monday morning from Bertram, [have all been called to his bed-
where he had been to preach the
commencement sermon of the
graduating class of the high
school. He failed to reach town
in time to officiate at the funeral
of Mr. Ellis and Rev. Chas Doak
acted in his place; but he secur-
ed a conveyance and went out
to Rock church to the burial.
Mrs. A. B. Cornforth and her
sister, Mrs^Haislep, in company
with another sister, Mrs. Layton,
and daughter, Ina, from San
Angelo, who have been visiting
at the Cornforth home for a few
days, left Monday for Leesville,
La., to spend the summer with
Mrs. Haislip, who after a short
visit to Lampasas, is returning
home.
side. He had a very bad night
Tuesday night, but was resting
easier Wednesday.
Judge W. H. Browning came
in Sunday from Little Rock
where h» spent a short time at
the Confederate reunion. He
visited while in Arkansas his
only surviving brother who lives
at Malvern 40 miles from Little
Rock, and an aunt the only one
still alive, now 80 years of age
who lives at Arkadelphia. He
says while the people of Little
Rock did all that they could to
make it pleasant for the old sol-
diers, the crowd of visitors was
too large for them to get much
enjoyment out of it. It is impos-
sible with such low railroad rates
to eliminate the great crowd of
citizens who go on account of
cheap rates.
Geo. D. Zivley has purchased
a home and will soon be resting
“under his own vine and fig
tree.” From H. M. Stringfellow
he bought the lot and improve-
ments immediately south and
across the street from the resi-
dence of Hosea Bailey and is
now making improvements and
repairs and will soon move to the
place. AgainJThe Leader says,
“Home owners make good citi-
zens.” Get a home in Lampa-
sas. Do it now.
All the churches suspended
preaching services Sunday morn-
ing to attend the commencement
sermon to the graduating class
of the Lampasas High School,
delivered at the Methodist church
by Rev. Ernest J. Bradley of the
Christian church. The sermon
was chaste, eloquent, logical and
practical, being well adapted to
the occasion. A large choir
composed of members of the
different churches, rendered ex-
cellent music with Miss Sadie
Turnbull presiding at the organ.
The anthem rendered by the
choir and the duet by Mrs. W.
T. Campbell and Miss Turnbull,
with Mrs. M. Y. Stokes at the
organ, deserves special mention.
At night there were services at
all the other churches, except
the Methodist.
Rev. Joseph Davee, one of tl
leading ministers of the Meth<
dist Protestant church, is amoi
friends here.
Mrs. S. Jenkins, of Lake Vi
tor, will accept thanks for an a
preciated remittance which car

Mrs. Jenkins is a firm believer
