On Saturday night the W. O.
W. Camp and Circle spread sup-
per together. It was a very en-
joyable affair. There were plenty
of good things to eat. Most every
member of each lodge was pres-
ent, besides many invited guests.
After all had eaten, Consul Com-
mander J. N. Benton called the
caqip to order and thanked the
ladies of the circle for the supper
and invited them back, then call- j
ed the Woodmen to give the j
ladies the camp honors. The
ladies gave their salute in return.
Miss Iris Smith is guardian of the
.Circle. John and Louis McCoy j
\furnished the W. O. W. part of
the supper.

was broken Sunday by being
thrown from his horse, is getting
along as well as could be expect-
ed.
Mrs. Joiner is very low, with
no hopes of her recovery.
Uncle Hugh McCoy is on the
sick list.
Thomas Glimp and family, ex-
cept Mrs. Glimp and Miss Lela,
are just recovering from the
measels.
Greenville Cox, who had lived
at Ardmore, Okla., for four years
has moved back to his farm. He
liked the country, but not the
high taxes and big cotton crops.
The Indians are exempt from tax-
ation and the landlords require
the most of the crops in cotton.
The Misses McGuire, of Lam-
pasas, visited at A. A. Field’s,
Sunday.
A. A. Field is putting in sev-
eral acres of new land. R. O.
Everett and Ralph Smith are do-
ing the clearing.

cessful farmer who will plant no
cotton. We think there are
others.

folks. He has located on a farm
of 160 acres in Hidalgo county.

helping Jim Shelby with the goats
and kids.

ited the families of C. M. sr., C.
M. jr., and J. T. Tumlinson, Sun-
day and Monday.
Rev. P. B. Summers filled his
regular appointment at the Meth-
odist church Sunday.
Rev. Slaughter, pastor of the
Baptist church, has resigned to
accept a call at Liberty Hill. He
will move his family there.
Milton Kenon, who has lived
near Briggs for several years, is
now farming with his brother-in-
law, Russ Gilmore.
Those interested recently met
and worked the Pleasant Hill
cemetery.
Dr. Thomas Dorbandt, now
operating a private sanitarium at
San Antonio, will accept thanks
for an appreciated remittance.
Lampasas lost a splendid gentle-
man and a good physician when
Dr. Tom left us, but his friends
throughout this1 section will be
pleased to know that he is pros-
pering-in his new location, and
is making money and a good
name. Success to you, Dr. Tom.
improved Highway Talk.
Road builders are benefactors
to humanity.
Good roads promote prosperity;
bad ones produce profanity.
Permanent highways are es-
sential to the advancement of
any community.
Good roads rid farm life of the
dread and seclusion of rural
lonelinesS.
Good roads, schools and
churches are the fundamentals
in rural development.
Improved highways are better
advertisements than electric
signs for a community.
The wheels of education, mor-
ality and civilization must have
good highways to roll on.
The sooner a town or communi-
ty realizes the importance of
good roads the quicker it will be-
come a city.
When the public beeomes^fully
awakened to the benfits of im-
proved highways bad roads will
fade into oblivion.—Homer D.
Wade.

Clayton and Grundyville Items.
( By Auntie.)
We have had two light show-
ers of rain which is very much
appreciated during the last few
days.
Oats are still standing the cold
weather—can’t say about the
fruit crop yet.
All elm trees have had the
buds killed twice. Think they
had better wait until winter is
over before budding out again.
February was much colder
than January, but this has been
one winter that we have not seen
a snowflake.
Farmers will begin planting
corn next week.
Mr. Bostick who has been sick,
is much better now, and his sons
who were here have returned
home- There are twelve grown
children—two girls and ten boys.
They all attended the father dur-
ing his sickness, and it was the
first time they had all been to-
gether. The names of the chil-
dren are as follows: Miss Ollie
Bostick, Mrs. C. R. Wheeler,
Man Bostick of Ft. Worth, Char-
lie Bostick of Allenreed, Texas,
Babe Bostick of near Granbury,
George and Albert who live in
the Atherton community, Olive
of Smith county, J. E., John,
Andy and Arthur who live here.
The old gentleman was glad to
see all of his big, lusty sons to-
gether.
Howard Shannon, of New Mex-
ico, is visiting old friends here
this week, and is helping on the
new Baptist church building.
Oscar Holloman is suffering
with rheumatism, and his broth-
er, John, took him to Marlin last
week. We learn that he is im-
proving.
Dixie Webb, of San Saba coun-
ty, visited his uncle, Dave Terry,
this week.
George Cook and his daughter,
Miss Alma, of the School oreek
church community, visited at the
home of Sam Cole last Saturday
and Sunday.
We are sorry to say chat Sam
Cole is very low and is rapidly
growing weaker. His friends
have about given up all hope of
his getting any better.
Warren Clayton is visiting rel-
atives here at his old home.
-- j
C. L. Yates, one of the^leading
business men of Kempner, was
here for a few hours Thursday.
He is pushing his business and
has a valuable assistant in his
wife, who knows the dry goods
department probably as well or
better than her husband.
