J. F. Pearce, one of the pro-
gressive and prosperous young
farmers from a few miles north
of the city, was here Monday and
made The Leader a pleasant call.
He succeeds with his farm work
because he knows how to mix
brains with his muscle.
Beggars, Tramps, Burglars, etc.
Complaints are coming to my
office of beggars, tramps and
others about the homes in the
city. If parties troubled with
such visitors will notify my office
promptly by telephone, I will see
that such persons are removed
from the places where they give
trouble and put out of the city.
Prompt notice is requested. Do
not wait, use the telephone at
once. A. R. Mace,
Sheriff.
New hats, new veils, new flow-
ers. Mrs. Bertha W. Mitchell, dw
Pat May, who has made his
home in this section of Texas for
many years, with occasional ab-
sence, has made arrangements to
occupy a place of usefulness on
what is known as the Wootton
ranch property, a few miles north
of Lampasas. The Leader is one
of the papers he believes in thor-
oughly and he generally has it
to follow him wherever he goes.
He is worthy and patriotic.
It is a pleasure to meet such
young men as O. J. Pickle, the
traveling agent of the Western
Union Telegraph company, who
is now here assisting in making
up the monthly report for the
company at Lampasas. He is a
good-natured man, and seems to
thoroughly understand the work
in hand. He is a relief agent
who knows how to relieve.
E. C. Simon and Ross Smart,
of the Lampasas river section,
were here Monday and had just
closed a contract by which they
will at once erect a gin, black-
smith shop and make other im-
provements on some land which
W* L. Taylor has donated for
that purpose. The location is on
what is known as the lower
Gatesville road, just beyond the
s-iver at the Taylor crossing
bridge. They are practical young
men in this character of work
and have the determination to
make a success. It is understood
that A. P. Simon, father of the
younger Simon, will be connect
©a with them in their new enter-
prise and this assures in some
measure the success of the un-
dertaking. A. P. Simon and this
editor were friends and associ-
ates more than forty years agone
in the southern part of Texas,
and it was said of him at that
time that he could make anything
needed of iron, steel or wood.
The people of this community
have long needed an up-to-date
gin, and it is hoped that the en-
terprise of these young men will
fill the need. It is possible that
a nice village may spring up as
a result of this beginning.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Tayloi* are
beginning to feel much at home
on their new place, just across
the Lampasas river from where
they have been living for several
years past. Mr. Taylor remark-
ed that the good wife had gone
back home, he having recently
purchased the former Higgins
home, where Mrs. Thylor was
reared, and from the house which
they now occupy they went to
the hqpe of the minister when
they were married. Mr. Taylor
has wanted this place for a long
time, and is very much pleased
to own it, and Mrs. Taylor re-
joices in that she knows all the
surroundings. May happiness
and plenty attend them.
Tipperary Turbans in all the
late colors.
dw Mrs. Bertha W. Mitchell.
Walter Garner, of the Clayton-
Grundyville community, was here
Monday and handed in a dollar
with instructions to keep the pa-
per coming. Walter has always
had some ideas in his head a lit-
tle different from the old ways of
farming, and is putting them in-
to execution, now that he works
for himself. The Leader likes to
hear him tell of the effect on the
land of planting certain crops,
and the best follow-up system
with still other seed or products.
Having tried other work, he is
now sure that the farm affords
the best opportunity for the
young man to make life easy
and pleasant, and it is probable
that within a few > ears he will
be known as one of the most
progressive and successful farm-
ers in this section, because he
studies conditions and knows
how to make good results follow.
No Use to Try and Wear Your Cold Out
It Will Wear You Out Instead.
Thousands keep on suffering Coughs
and Colds through neglect and delay.
Why make yourself an easy prey to
serious ailments and epidemics as the
result of a neglected cold? Coughs
and Colds sap your strength and vital-
ity unless checked in the early.stages.

need—the first dose helps. Yonr head

day and start taking at once.—Adv.
the bank may hold up the entire
check, though he may have a
larger part of it with the bank, as
) a check cannot be paid in part
without the authority of the man
who made it.
The fact that you may have the
money in bank in the afternoon,
tomorrow or in a few days, does
not justify cashing a^check for
money which has not been de-
posited.
Checks sent out of the local
circulation with expectation of
having funds to meet them when
they may be returned are sub-
ject to the same conditions as
those issued locally, and the rul-
ing now is that the bank officer
who cashes a check when there(
are not funds to meet it, is held
responsible for the amount.
Following is a letter on this
subject from the comptroller of
the currency, John Skelton Will-
iams, which will make interesting
reading in this connection, and
show the requirements now made
of the national banks all over the
country. Read it:
Treasury Department,
Washington,
January 28, 1915.
To the Board of Directors.
Gentlemen:
The granting by some banks of
accommodations in the forms of
overdrafts is objectionable and
cannot be countenanced by this
office.
This practice should cease en-
tirely. To facilitate the accomp-
lishment of this result, the sub-
ject has been taken up by this
office with the banking depart-
ments of various states, and these
authorities have generally agreed
to take the necessary action to
secure the effective co-operation
of State banks in attaining the
end desired.
You are requested to adopt a
resolution directing that no offi-
cer or employe of your bank
shall pay or charge to the ac-
count of any depositor any check
of guch depositor when there are
not sufficient funds on deposit to
the credit of the drawer of the
check to meet the same.
Please forward a certified copy
of the resolution to this office as
soon as it has been adopted. Let
the resolution show the names of
the directors present at the meet-
ing.
Please acknowledge receipt
without delay.
Respectfully,
John Skelton Williams,
Comptroller.

As to Partition of Texas.
The discussion in regard to the
division of Texas into three
States means much more than
such a proposal would in con-
nection with any other State in
the Union.
If any other State should de-
sire to be partitioned into two or
more States, it would be neoes-
sary to obtain the consent of the
Federal Government. Not so in
the case of Texas for this consent
was long since given.
Texas was admitted into the
Union under circumstances dif-
ferent from those surrounding
the admission of any other State.
All other States were formed
from territory already belonging
to the United States, but Texas
was a free and independent re-
public before it became a part of
our country, and it was made a
member of the Federal Union by
a treaty between the Republic of
the United States and the Re-
public of Texas.
One of the provisions of this
treaty was that the State of Tex-
as should have the right to sub-
