Rev. J; M. Dawson, now of

visitor to Lampasas this week.
The largest congregation seen at
the Baptist church for many
months dissembled Sunday room-

best, and pleased the congrega-

the scriptures.
Good morning. Have you
tried White Crest? '
Farmers* Union Warehouse.
A meeting of the Lampasas
Board of Trade, citizens of the
town, and a few farmers, was
held this morning at the office of
W. B. Abney, the object being
to consider just what should be
done towards building a Farmers’
Union warehouse at this place.
The meeting was called to or-
der by W. B. Abney, and he re-
quested that Mr. Cannon, who
represented the Farmers’ Union
explain the object and purposes
of the meeting.
Mr. Cannon stated that he
thought the-warehouse proposi-
tion was well understood by the
farmers and most of the business
men in Texas. That the advant-
ages to accrue from protecting
the cotton from the weather was
worth the price of the warehouse
to the farmer and the business
man. He stated that the aver-
age of what is known as “coun-
try damage” would ordinarily
be not less than $2.00 per bale,
arid that some of the foreign
buyers made the average as
high as $5.00 per bale and some
even as high as $10.00 per bale.
He was informed that owing to
the condition of the yard at this
place, no such charges had ever
been made against the cotton
here, and C. D. Stokes assured
him that the average damage af-
ter the cotton was brought to' the
local yard would not exceed 25
cents per bale.
Mr. Cannon further stated
that concentration as it had been
practiced in other places had re-
sulted in the farmer getting more
for his cotton than he Could have
gotten had he sold it as gathered,
and on the streets. That the
spinners would send men to buy
cotton when it was stored in
large quantities, and that they
would pay the highest price, and
that this would benefit the bus-
iness man in the same proportion
that it would benefit the farmer.
C. D. Stokes spoke to the prop-
osition, saying that there seemed
to be an opinion that the busi-
ness men did not want a ware-
house here, but said this was not
correct. That' he thought a
warehouse should be built and
that it should be a good one. He
proposed to donate a site for, the
locatidn of the building, which he
said was on the Santa Fe track,
and could use as much or as lit-
tle of the land as might be de-
sired.
Discussing the matter further,
Mr. Stokes said that if the loca-
tion did not suit, or that if it
should, be considered better to lo-
j cate the building elsewhere than
| on the land he proposed to do-
j nate, he would contribute in cash
i for a good warehouse as liberally
1 as any other one firm or individ-
ual.
Mr. Cannon again explained
I that while business men were
j generally donating, about 50 per
{cent of the cost of these ware-
houses, they did on the basis
that they expected to reap the
I benefit of the donation from the
{increased business which the
warehouse would bring and from
the advance in the price which
the farmers would realize upon
the products stored therein. He
thought a warehouse should be
built here that would cost not
less than $3500, that anything
less than that would be useless.
Kantbebeat
Clothing . .
Is proving true to name. It
cannot be beaten for price any-
where, and it is superior without
regard to price. It has the proper
style, the best material, and is all
round good enough for the dres-
siest man, or modest enough for
the plain man. It suits all alike,
the old and the young. We
have just received a shipment in
Blue Serges
At $20.00
which will please those who de-
sire plain colors and the best
goods. Come and let us demon-
strate to you that this is the very
goods you have-been seeking and
never tyave found until now.

The house when constructed and
ready for operation would be the
property of the Farmers Union,
and no/merchant or other indi-
vidual would be allowed to con-
trol or manage it for his benefit.

ing farmers of the county, and
an "enthusiastic union man, said

it was built. If Lampasas would
wait until Copperas Cove, Kemp-
ner, Lake Victor and Lometa
had houses up and in operation,
a very small warehouse would
answer for the needs of Lampa-
sas. He stated that while he is
a union man, that the union of
Lampasas county had not done
its duty, as they had been idle
while other communities had
built warehouses and they had
enjoyed the advantage in the
price which such warehouses had
brought about. He wants a
warehouse at Lampasas, and
said this is just as much his town
as that of any business man who
is merchandising here. He said
he had felt grieved at Lampasas
because the proposition of more
than a year ago had not been
accepted, but he wanted some
movement now which would be
effective.
