Joe Straley, of the Adamsville
section, was among the visitors
Monday, having come over to
meet his daughter, Mr3. Mc-
Candless, of Meridian, Tex.as,
who is to spend a few weeks at
the parental home. It is always
a pleasure to meet Joe Straley,
as he wears a smile which re-
fuses to vanish, no matter what
the condition of the country.
Since the change in the loca-
tion of the Grundyville post-
office a number of the patrons of
the Leader are having their ad-
dresses changed to Lampasas,
not on account of any fault found
with the post-office at Grundy-
viile, but because of the location,
saying it is easier and ffiore con-
venient for them to come to
Lampasas than to visit the pres-
ent location of the Grundyville
office. More rural routes are
needed in this part of the world.

The Needs of Lampasas
. Mr. and Mrs. Colby, who have
been spending a greater part of
the summer here, will leave
Tuesday for their home in Hous-
ton. Mr. Colby might almost be
called the father of Houston, as
it was on his land that a great
part of the city was built, and he
is a living example of the wisdom
of investing in land while low in
price and getting in oh the
ground floor, thereby reaping a
profit on the investment from
those more dilatory and less dis-
cerning when bought later, when
values had risen.
Mr. Colby is charmed with
Lampasas. He dotes on the
cordiality of its people and has
made some warm friends here*
who fully reciprocate his regard.
His wife while here has identified
herself with the work of her fa-
vorite denomination, and Miss
Palmer, their charming stenog-
rapher, has voluntarily assisted
in League work on these hot
Sunday afternoons when it takes
courage to leave the cool re-
treat to be found at home.
The reporter, in seeking to
draw Mr. Colby out on the civic
needs of Lampasas, found him
quite willing to talk, and yet not
in a critical way. In fact he
hesitates to express an opinion
lest it be taken for criticism.
Yet we all join him in theopinion
that the crying need of Lampas-
as at present is a first class ho-
tel. Tie mentioned the unsightly
vacant lot opposite the library as
a good site for a hotel, and if
not that, then either of the va-
cant lots farther west. There is
one thing true and we all recog-
nize the fact: It is not worth
while to advertise the town as a
first class health resort until we
do have a good hotel to accom-
modate the wealthy class and
those who are willing to pay for
the Rest.
Another thing discussed was
the need of good concrete side-
walks which we feel surely will
gradually be built all over town.
It takes a person new to the town
to be fully cognizant of such
needs as these. We who live
here become after a time callous-
eyed and careless and we get
just a little bit used- to the sight
of ugly weeds and uneven walks.
Let us wake up and rub our
eyes fully open, then get busy
and remedy the defects of our
beautiful little town with its
blessed trees and flowing waters.
In conclusion Mr. Colby said
that he was well pleased with his
visit and enjoyed to the fullest
extent the health giving waters,
the pleasant acquaintanceship
and the drives about the town.
It is hoped that he and his family
will return another year and find
waiting for them a vast improve-
ment over present conditions.
Many of the farmers are turn-
ing* their stubble land and getting'
ready to sow fall grain for . past-
ure. The acreage in small grain
will probably be increased, over
that of last ypar, as many • have
found that it is even more profit-
able to raise grain, which only
requires sowing and harvesting,■
than it is to plant cotton and
spend a large part of . the time in
cultivating and gathering. Di-
versification, assisted by some
pooi* seasons, has brought the
cotton to the highest price known
since the Civil War, and further
diversification will cause the
price to continue to advance.
Plant less cotton, raise more
small grain, and do not forget
that the hog and its products are
a source of wealth and comfort
which no farmer can afford to
overlook. Raise good hogs,
