County Court.
Following the example set by
the district court, the county
court has been largely in a state
of suspension during the two
weeks of the present session. Not
a jury has so far been called for,
but the men who had been sum-
moned were instructed to report
for duty Thursday, when it is
probable some civil cases will de-
mand their attention. The fol-
lowing cases have been disposed
of since the beginning of the
term:
Higdon-Senterfitt Co. vs. J.W.
Moseley, suit on note; judgment
for plaintiff by default.
W. F. Mace vs. Mrs. H. C.
Winters et al, suit on notes;
transferred to district court of
Mills county.
State vs. Charles Harris, adul-
tery; dismissed on motion of
county attorney.
State vs. Walter Copic, petty
theft; plea of guilty, fined $10
and two hours in jail.
State vs. Deb Stockton, ag-
gravated assault; plea of guilty,
fined $25.
State vs. Grover Stockton, ag-
gravated assault; plea of guilty,
fined $25.
State vs. Brown Stockton, ag-
gravated assault; dismissed on
motion of county attorney.
State vs. Carter Moore, theft;
plea of guilty, fined one cent and
one hour in jail.
Chestnut Street Bridge.
The Chestnut street bridge will
be closed, beginning about next
Monday and for some weeks fol-
lowing. The county will rebuild
this bridge during the next sev-
eral weeks, and County Commis-
sioner W. H. Simmons will have
charge of the work.
Marriage Licenses.
The following marriage licenses
have been issued by the county
clerk since our last report:
Frank L. Spurlin and Mrs.
Pearl Goodson; J. W. Morgan
and Miss Moliie Wingren.

these horses were in the running,

guard against these accidents,
great care should be exercised
by everyone who uses a gun.

excitement was over.
Card of Thanks.
To the friends and acquaint-
ances in and near Lampasas who
tendered their services to us dur-
ing our recent bereavement, in
the loss of husband and father,
we tender our heartfelt thanks.
Your kindness to us can never
be forgotten.
Mrs. Henry Jones
and children.
John Bear, of the Lucy creek
section, was here Tuesday and
made The Leader a pleasant
business call. He has recently
purchased a good home for him-
self, right in the community
where he was raised and The
Leader congratulates him upon
the important event. May he
continue to prosper.
Sam J. Smith, is home from a
business visit of some weeks in
Louisiana. He reports fine corn
crops in that section, and cotton
the best for several years, the
average being from half a bale
to three fourths of a bale to the
acre. The boll weevil has almost
entirely disappeared from the
part of Louisiana he visited.
Never carry a loaded gun while
riding along the road. Hold the
loaded shells in your hand, as it
requires only a few seconds to
place the shells in the gun.
In crawling under or over a
a fence lay your gun down on the
opposite side first, or else remove
the shells.
Never walk through the brush
behind your companion with the
muzzle of your gun pointed to-
ward him. This rule also applies
to the one walking in the lead.
When you fire your gun be
sure first what you are shooting
at. And be very careful that the
discharge of your gun will not
injure anything beyond the ob-
ject at which you fire.
There are a number of other
things we could mention, but if
these rules are observed many
common place accidents can be
avoided. A gun is a very dan-
gerous weapon, and too much
care cannot be taken in its hand-
ling, especially by the small boy,
who is just learning how to shoot.

Messages received by W. R.
Young state that the body of his
mother had been embalmed and
that with proper persons accom-
panying it would leave Toyali
Thursday at noon, and it is
probable will not arrive here be-
fore Friday night or Saturday
morning. While no positive an-
nouncement can be made at the
present, it is supposed the fu-
neral will occur some time Sat-
urday.
Public Weigher D. C. Thomas
Jr., reports that there has been
marketed at this place up to date
2500 bales of cotton of the pres-
ent crop. His estimate is that
the entire receipts will be about
4000 bales or a little less than
last year. Quite a number of the
farmers are storing or holding

Hamilton County Orchard.
The News is in receipt of a box
of sample peaches of enormous
size from the orchard of J. W.
Simmons, near Hico, Hamilton
county. Mr. Simmons has forty
acres in orchard and vineyard,
and while his trees and vines are
young, he has already demon-
strated that fruit and grape.grow-1"
ing is a profitable industry in
that part of Texas. He has
twenty-six acres in peach trees,
ten acres in apples and pears,
three acres in plums and one
acre in grapes. This year he
sold 3,000 bushels of peaches at
$1 a bushel, 800 bushels of plums
at 50c a bushel and grapes from
565 vines amounting to $500. His
apple and pear trees are just be-
ginning to bear, and he sold $100
worth of fruit from these. He
says the product of the for-
ty acres has this year brought
him more than $4,000.—Dallas

actly like the picture of the hook
worm have passed from them.
The symptoms of the hook
worm are: The patient has a
cadaverous look, is indolent, has
a poor memory, a morbid appe-
tite, eats anything—dirt, plaster
from the wall even, and is down
and out completely. The worms
are about an eighth of an inch
long, are a brown yellowish col-
or, and have a hook on the front
end of their body where the head
is. These worms are removed
by giving the patient a; thymol
drug.
The disease is not of a directly
fatal nature, though because of
the wasting and weak nature the
patient is very prone to take oth-
er diseases.—Comanche Expo-
nent.
District Court.
District court has adjourned
after a session of four weeks, the
larger part of which time the
District Judge was at his home
in Belton, the District Clerk was
looking after his other business
interests and the other officers of
the court were going about their
ordinary duties. Only one. petit
jury was empaneled during the
term, and it was discharged with-
in a few hours, the case having-
developed some unexpected fea-
tures which made it necessary to
continue it to the next term. Not
a jury was called for in a crimi-
nal case and none was tried at
this term of court. The expen-
ses of the session were very light.
The following cases have been
disposed of, nearly all by agree-
ment, since last report:
Sallie Watson et al vs. M. C.
Harris alias M. C. Watson; set-
tled and dismissed as per agree-
ment on file.
Continental Lumber Co. vs.
Little, Barnes et al; settled at
plaintiff’s cost.
A. E. Wells vs. M. A. Wells,
divorce; dismissed for want of
prosecution.
Susan Walker vs. Isaac Walk-
er, divorce, divorce granted.
H. B. Casbeer vs. T. W. Ben-
ton, attachment suit; settled and
dismissed.
W. D. Marshall vs. R. T. Bris-
tow, suit on vendor’s lien note;
settled and dismissed.
P. Z. Davis et ux vs. B. F.
Frymier, to cancel deed and in-
junction; settled as per agree-
ment on file.
M. A. Wells vs. Union Bridge
& Construction Co., damages;
settled and dismissed.
Sammie Gibson vs. Joe Gibson,
divorce; 'divorce granted with
custody of child given to plaint-
iff.
Ex-parte Eura Mitchell, to-re-
move disabilty of Minor; petition
