Hewgley and others are at home
from the stockmen’s convention
at San Antonio. Quite a number
of the Lampasas contingent are
yet to oome home, being detained
by the attractions of the most
wonderful city in the world.
Austin messages announce the
death of S. B. Mallett,g jr., at
that place Wednesday) morning
at 10 o’clock. The young man
was a newspaper carrier and was
run over by an automobile de-
livery car. He never regained
consciousness after being struck
by the car. While it is not so
stated the young man is evident-
ly a son of S. B. Mallett, who
formerly lived in Burnet county,
south of Lampasas, and who
moved to Austin a few years ago.
The young man leaves a wife
and two small children, besides
the father and mother and other
relatives. All have the sincere
sympathy of a number of friends
in this part of the state.
At the monthly session of the
Commissioners Court, held Mon-
day and Tuesday of this week,
the oounty tax assessor was al-
lowed, as an advance on his sal-
ary, the sum of $100.00 per month
for the months of January, Feb-
ruary, March and April; $200.00
to be paid now, and $100.00 to be
paid April 1st and $100.00 May
1st, this amount to be ^partial
payment for the work of assess-
ing taxes for the year 1915. In
addition to the foregoing, Dr. J.
W. Ellis was elected oounty phy-
sician for the succeeding two
years.
W. T. Bean, better known as
“Little Snap” Bean, was among
the visitors here for a few days,
spending the time at his ranch
property oast or Lampasas and
with Wesley Smith out on the
Hamilton road. Mr. Bean has
been for a number of years in
the employ of the Santa Fe in
their oil fields and has been pro-
moted time and again, so that he
now holds a very responsible
and remunerative position. He
is another of the Lampasas young
men who has gone out into the
business world with sucoess,
though he had others to contend
with in his advancement, He is
in every way worthy.
Historic Home Destroyed.
Liberty, Tex., March 8,—What
is known far and wide as the old
Hardin home, owned by Will
Humphries of Dallas, was de-
stroyed by fire last night. It was
constructed before the war for
General Villa is Ready to Light U. S.
Ei Paso, ^Tex., March 10.—
General Villa, in a statement re-
ceived from Torreon to the Asso-
ciated Press, declared that in
event of intervention of foreign
troops to subdue the Carranza
foroes he and all other Mexicans
would unite against the invaders.
He denied recent interviews in
American newspapers, which he
said had just been called to his
attention, in which he was quot-
ed as saying that he would not
oppose armed intervention on the
part of several powers “to reduce
Carranza to order,” provided
that he would be made command-
er of such a movement.
W. J. Brown, of the Lampasas
river, was in to advance his date
and to have the Dallas Farm
News continued to his address.
He farms and raises stock—good
stock—and prospers as he de-
serves. One thing may be said
Twenty- Four Hours
A Day
You know how irritating it is if the electric lights go out for a
minute when you are in the middle of a chapter.
Human ingenuity is put to a hard task when it undertakes to give
you service without a stop at all times.
The electric light company must work twenty-four hours a day
and it must have material for operation which can be DEPENDED
UPON AT ALL TIMES.
Texaco is the choice for such service.
At the plant of the Central Texas Power Transmission Company,
Hico, the Curtis Turbine has been running twenty-four hours a
day for over a year with only one stop on Sundays. Texaco has
been used from the start. Here is what Mr. Gleason says about it:

GENTLEMEN:
WE HAVE YOUR LETTER OF INQUIRY ABOUT THE
PERFORMANCE OF TEXACO CETU3 OIL IN OUR CUR-
TIS TURBINE. WE ARE GLAD TO SAY THAT IT BIAS
MORE THAN FULFILLED OUR MOST SANGUINE EX-
PECTATIONS.
THIS MACHINE WAS STARTED ONE YEAR AGO. IT
HAS OPERATED 24 HOURS A DAY EIGHT ALONG, WITH
ONLY ONE STOP EACH WEEK; THAT ON SUNDAYS,
THE TURBINE HAS THE ORIGINAL OIL IN XT. IT HAS
BEEN EXAMINED BY OUR CONSULTING ENGINEER,
MR. NEFF, AND THE GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY’S
MR. VIVIAN. THEY REPORT THAT THE RESULTS ARE
IDEAL LUBRICATION. THE ONLY ADDITION OF OIL
IS FOR EVAPORATION, WHICH IS SO LITTLE THAT IT
IS NEGLIGIBLE.
WE DO NOT THINK OF CHANGING "TO ANY OTHER
OIL. YOURS VERY TRULY,
CENTRAL TEXAS POWER & TRANSMISSION CO.

Fuchs, the owner of the Thrall
oil gusher, today negotiated a
lease of 400 acres of his land in
the vicinity of his well to the
Guffey Company for $84,000
bonus and an eighth royalty. He
did not dispose of his well.

And For Three Summers Mrs. Vin-
cent Was Unable to Attend to
Any of Her Housework.
Pleasant Hill, N. C.—“I suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
1 had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, 1
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off.
I was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when 1 finally decided to try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 firmly
believe 1 would have died if 1 hadn’t
taken it.
After I began taking Cardui, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re-
lieved me entirely.
1 fattened up, and grew so much
stronger in three months, I felt like an-
other person altogether.”
Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle-
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner-
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
wedlt women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
