No Goods Charged During This Sale
Clayton and Grundyville Items.
(By Auntie.)
The men are cutting down the
corn, baling the oats that is too
light to thresh, cutting millet and
housing it and getting ready for
the thresher, which they are
hoping to get in the neighbor-
hood again the last of this week.
All you can hear now is “when
will we get the thresher,” all be-
ing anxious to save the grain for
that is the only thing we have
that we are looking to now. Corn
is gone, rain now would not save
it. All who planted corn early
have some corn. Young corn and
all that was worked out late is no
good on account of dry weather.
We have had scarcely any rain
since the last day of April. Too
much rain in April damaged the
oat crop badly. Almost all oats
on the best land are all straw and
no oats, while on high, well
drained land they seem very
good. The people who have a
surplus of hogs are needing corn
to feed them on now, this drouth
is hard on them. They can cut
down the corn and feed it to the
stock and hogs and this will be
about all they will get out of the
most of the corn crop this year.
Mr. Terry and sons are back
from a pleasure and fishing trip
to the Colorado.
Mrs. Mitchell Denson, formerly
Miss Alma Terry, left last week
with Dave Watson and family for
Montana, where she will join her
husband in making a new home
in the far northwest. Never did
a bride leave more friends behind
than Alma. While we are sad to
lose her, we wish her all the hap-
piness and prosperity that is pos-
sible for her in her new home.
Rev. Andrew Smith filled his
regular appointment here last
Sunday. There were no services
Saturday and Sunday nights on
account of threatening weather.
J. P. Jolly and family, of the
Topsey country, attended church
here last Sunday and visited
their daughter, Mrs. Stewart
Terry.
We organized a prohibition
club here last Sunday afternoon.
There would be no need of pro-
. hibition clubs or speakers if every
kman would vote as his conscience
^Ttells him to vote. Auntie has
some old friends who when they
voted to put saloons out of the
county would say, “Oh, if they
will vote to put it out of the state
I’ll vote every time for that.”
Well now we will see if they are
men that will tell the truth when
it comes to booze or no booze in
the state.
Mrs. Tom Hallmark is visiting
her parents in Cook county.
Mrs. Luther White, of Lampa-
sas, is with her father during her
mother’s absence. She feels
much at home here among her
old friends.
Karo Hallmark and wife, of the
Kempner country, spent last
Sunday with the family of W. K.
Glover.
The family of J.,R. Gee had
the pleasure of eating two of
those fine watermelons raised by
the Machen family at Sandia,
Texas. They send Miss Mollie
two every year, but last year the
express, company got one of
them. This year they treated us
better, which was highly appre-
ciated by the family.
M. Little has sold his entire
lumber interests to W. F. Barnes
and has retired from business.
Mr. Little has been a citizen of
Lampasas for many years and
has always given his means and
influence to the best interests of
the town. Mr. Barnes has also
been for many years an enter-
prising citizen of Lampasas.
Squaw And June Corn Will Make Good.
Fort Worth, June 20.—Texas’
only dependence for a corn crop
this year must be in June corn,
squaw corn or milo maize and
kaffir corn, according to W. T.
Loudermilk, president of the
Farmers’ Union, who returned
home Monday morning after a
tour of a large territory south-
west of this city.
Johnson, Comanche, Bosque,
McLennan, Bell, Brown, Mason,
Menard, McCulloch, San Saba,
and Mills counties were included
in the itinerary of the Farmers’
Union head, and he reports that
in all those counties, with the ex-
ception of a few spots, corn is
beyond redemption and unless
the farmers plant a summer crop
of corn they will be without feed
products this winter.
In several of the counties the
farmers anticipated a drouth by
planting squaw corn and are now
enjoying roasting ears while their
near neighbors are stirring
around bemoaning the fact that
their crop has been sacrificed to
the drouth.
The cotton crop is about twenty
days late this year in most of the
sections visited by him, Mr.
Loudermilk declared.

To Stop Ravages of Grasshoppers.
J. W. Butcher, the government
farm agent for the San Angelo
country, says that some com-
plaints have come to him that
grasshoppers are damaging cot-
ton^sand to prevent further in-
jury to the product, the farmers
who are menaced are urged to
use bran mash, scattering it
around over the field. To make
the bran mash, mix one pound of
paris green or arsenic with five
pounds of wheat bran, using
water to work it into a moist mass
and sweetening it with a quart of
molasses. Find out where the
grasshoppers enter the cotton
field and there sprinkle plenty of
the mash late in the afternoon,
as the insects do most of their
work at night. Mr. Butcher]says
this remedy for putting a stop to
this menace has always proved
effective.—San Angelo Standard.

Storm Near Copperas Cove.
Copperas Gove, Texas, June
19.—Late yesterday evening, a
heavy and dangerous looking
cloud appeared in the northwest
and for a time it looked as if a
fine rain would fall, but before
the cloud reached here it sepa-
rated, part of it going towards
the Cow House river, and the
other towards the Lampasas
river. Only a light sprinkle fell
here, but a few miles away it
rained a good season. News
from the Topsy neighborhood re-
ports that quite a storm prevailed,
and Sam Styles’ house was blown
away, and all the contents scat-
tered and lost. Several of the
children were bruised up, but
none of them seriously. Between
Topsy and Pidcoke, considerable
damage was done. Milton Har-
mon lost his barn and sheep
sheds, and other parties sustain-
ed minor losses. No casualities
as far as heard from.

Special Session Called.
Austin, Tex., June 50.—Gov
ernor Colquitt late this afternoon
sprung a surprise on the state by
issuing a proclamation calling
the legislature in special session
on July 31.
The purposes as embraced in
the proclamation are to make ap-
propriations for the support of
the state government for the next
fiscal year not covered by the
regular session, to apportion the
slate into representative and sen-
atorial districts and to consider
other matters. Under the latter
head the governor may request
legislation if it be needed in con-
sequence of the result of the
state-wide prohibition election
which will be held July 22. Col-
quitt declined to discuss the
probable work of the legislature
at the special session.
District court is in session at
San Angelo, and the Baylis
Clayton case will again be called
for trial. There are a number of
character witnesses y from this
county, and some of them have
already gone to San Angelo,
while others will go later in the
week. Among the witnesses from
this county are Sheriff A. R.
Mace, Judge M. M. White, F. J.
Harris, one or two of the Coffee
Coryell county, came in Wednes-
day with wool which they will Brothers, W. M. Peacock, Lon
