0. D. Stokes and Claud Allen
are spending a short time in Aus-
tin.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Ds Cassell and
Miss Neva Blair are home from
Dallas where they have been at-
tending the fair this week.
Brakeman Morgan George,
who has been quite sick for some
day3 is again able to be at his
work. Brakeman Hehl has re-
turned to Austin.
Chas. Harris is here for a few
days visit to his father, T. D.
Harris. He has been spending a
few months in Mihnesota and
will resume his duties as a brake-
man of the Stanta Fe out of
Temple in a few days.
The husband of Mrs. Belle
Jones was among the appreci-
ated callers at this office Satur-
day. He has become a perma-
nent resident of this section af-
ter having lived in the west
about El Paso for years.
C. J. Huffstetler, one of the
prosperous farmers of the Bend
section, was in with produce and
made a friendly call upon The
Leader. He stated that quite a
number of persons in that com-
munity were afflicted with chills
and fever.
To Editor Mitchell of the Lometa
Reporter:
There are some incidents which
newspaper men publish with re-
gret. The one to which you
refer in your article of three
columns in your last issue was
one of them.
Miss Lilyan E. Green, reader
and entertainer, gave a recital at
Barnet Friday evening which was
well attended and highly enjoy-
ed. The program was practical-
ly the same as that given here
some weeks ago. Miss Green is
an accomplished elocutionist and
made an excellent impression in
Burnet.
At The Methodist Church.
There will be preaching both
morning and evening at the
Methodist church by the pastor.
Morning subject: ‘At Their Wit’s
End,” and in the evening: “In-
different Gallio.” Sunday school
and young people’s societies at
the usual hour. All members
urged to be present. Everybody
welcome.
C. P. Warner, one of the push-
ing, prosperous farmers of the
Lake Victor section, was among
the callere|at this office. He is a
laboring man who is proud of his
profession, and has accumulated
enough of the world’s goods to
make his labor tell to the best
effect.
McCauley & Co. shoe horses.
After having been out thirty-
two hours, the jury in the case
of the State of Ohio against the
Standard Oil Co. of Ohio, return-
ed a verdict of guilty on the
charge of conspiracy against
trade in the violation of the Val-
entine anti-trust law. The pen-
alty for this offense is a fine of
from $50 to $5000 which may be
repeated ior each day of the of-
fense, or imprisonment of six to
twelve months. The case will
likely be taken into the supreme
court of the state in which it will
be finally decided. The Stand-
ard Oil is too rich and too influ-
ential a company to meekly sub-
mit to the penalty inflicted by a
district .court and will fight the
case to the last ditch. But the
very fact of their being tried on
such a charge and the resulting
influence on public opinion, will
tend to check their power, and
make it easier for even such a
large corporation to be regulated.
While corporations have made
this country what it is from a
financial point of view, they
should be duly regulated, for
when they are allowed to go on
their own way, they become the
masters of a country and are con-
sequently able to practice all
manner of extortion. It m^ be
that the final outcome of the
struggle for.proper regulation of
combinations of capital will re-
sult in government ownership.
W. J. King, who bought what
is known as the Dick Nichols
place two miles east of Lampasas
about a year ago, has sold the
same to a recent immigrant from
Washington county, at a profit of
about $1500. over what it cost
him. Mr. King will probably in-
vest again in this section, and the
man to whom he sold will grow
wealthy here.
There is a possibility that with-
in the next twelve months the
Hancock springs may pass into
local control, and then there will
be some waking up of the latent
energies of the place and a
growth unprecedented will follow.
Very little will ever be accom-
plished in the way of making a
resort of Lampasas until the
property is owned by local people,
and improved so as to attract at-
tention. Are you willing to take
stock?

District court will continue for
a part of next week at least, one
case having been set to be tried
next week. So far very little
business of public interest has
been before the court, and the
session has been one of small ex-
pense, as there has been but little
demand for the service of jury-
men, and Judge Furman makes
it a point always to discharge the
venires when there is no case to
ccme before them. Lampasas is
peacable and law-abiding, and
the courts have little to do here.
Who Kills the Town.
The editor of a Little River
News, a newspaper published at
Ashdown, Ark., hits the nail on
the headkin the following:
“A town that never has any-
thing to do in a public way is on
the way to the cemetery. Any
citizen who will do nothing for
his town is helping to dig the
grave. A man that curses the
town furnishes the coffin. The
man who is so selfish as to have
no time from his business to give
to the city affairs is making the
shroud. The man who doesn’t
advertise will drive the hearse.
The man who is always pulling
back from any public enterprise
throws boquets on the grave.
The man who is always howling
hard times preaches the funeral
and sings the doxology. Thus
the town lies buried from all sor-
row and care.”
Our Wilson Heater burns less fuel
and gives more heat than any other
stove, and in one year will pay for
itself by saving fuel. It is guaran-
teed to be economical, Clean, and
Satisfactory. It is tbe Heater for You.

The increase in the number of
banks, private, national and
state, in Texas during the recent
years shows that Texas is coming
to the front at an agreeable pace.
Hardly a town of five hundred
inhabitants but now has its bank,
where people can deposit their
money with the assurance that
it will be safely kept, and where
they can get other accommoda-
tions which it is the duty and
pleasure of banks to furnish.
The Leader is glad to note this
additional evidence of the gener-
al prosperity which* exists
throughout the state.
Farmers have the best of Learns
and all of them are in fine con-
dition. They have plenty of
feed at home an a market for all
surplus feed which they can
raise. They nearly all have
good vehicles, also, and many of
them have buggies, hacks, or
surries in addition to their farm
equipment. The Leader is pleas-
ed to see the prosperous condi-
tion of the farmers here, and
knows they deserve all the good
that may come to them. They
work hard during the greater
portion of the year, economize
closely, and enjoy life as few of
any other class do. Their pro-
ducts are bringing a good price
this year, and most of them will
have money in the bank on which
to begin the making of another
crop. They have all their matters
well in hand, and this is a country
of home makers and homeown-
ers. May they continue to pros-
per. _
The announcement is made in
the Gonzales Inquirer that Em-
mett Smith succeeds the late D.
L. Beach as editor and partner
of Henry Reese. If he proves
the ability to handle the propo-
sition as did Mr. Beach, the paper
must continue to thrive. It will
do so any way as long as Reese
has the financial management.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Fisher and
little daughter who have been
here for some time as the guests
of Mrs. Fisher’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Moore, have returned
to their home in Burnet._

Lose
Their
Money:
By concealing it about their per-
son ; by stowing it away in mugs,
jugs and jars; by sewing it up in
skirts and ticks; by tucking it
under th6 couches and carpets, in
cupboards and bureau drawers;
these are some of the ways by
which people lose their money,
and sometimes their lives.
