Economy
Is necessary in every line of business. The
poor must economize of necessity ; the rich to
maintain their standing. The little things
grow to great ones only by economy and proper
care. The bank account teaches economy in
all things. You begin with saving the small
things and soon are possessed of large ones.
It is a natural sequence. Bank accounts grow
as small deposits are placed. The money you
do not absolutely need is safe in our bank un-
til you do need—and thus the small depositors
become the large ones. We will welcome you
as a depositor and assist your efforts to prac-
tice economy.

Mrs. S. L. Spurlin brought the
Leader some samples of grapes
grown at her neat little home
just beyond the Farmers’ Union
warehouse in this city. One is
the Herbemont, well known here
as a prolific grape and a free
bearer, while the other is of the
California, white seedless variety.
The latter grows only from a cut-
ting, and is easily propagated in
this country, and the samples
brought here show it to be a
heavy bearer of fruit. Mrs.
Spurlin states that the vine grows
by the outlet of the drain from
the kitchen sink, and thereby
has abundance of water the year
round. The grapes are sweet,
juicy and f alatable, free from
seed and a little larger than the
average grape of this part of the
State. The Leader is much
pleased with the remembrance,
and thanks the good lady for her
Vkindness in suggesting that cut-
tings may be had at the proper
season.
Will Cass and family, of Tem-
ple, were here Monday on their
way to Haskell, where they will
spend a time with relatives. Miss
Jessie Davis, a cousin of Mr.
Cass, joined the party here and
will make the entire trip with
them.
T. F. Dooley, of the Adams-
ville section, was here Monday
and Tuesday and made The
Leader a pleasant business call.
There are several brothers of this
family and they are all making a
success in their chosen work.

Friends of Elmo Snow will be
.pleased to know that he has
again received deserved promo-
tion at the hands of the Western
Union Telegraph oompany, by
which he has been employed
since the days almost of his in-
fancy. For the past several
months he has served the com-
pany as general helper at Port
Arthur, but with the first of Au-
gust he goes to Beaumont, where
he has charge of the Associated
Press dispatches, one of the most
important positions as well as
the most responsible which the
company handles, for through
this source the news of the world
is distributed. Elmo is making
good in every place tried. He
learned the keys and the use of
wires in Lampasas under the su-
pervision of his aunt, Miss Edna
Keyes.

F. E. Russell, one of the vice-
presidents of the First National
bank of Houston, has returned to
his work at his home, though his
family will remain here until the
heated season is past.
Mr. and Mrs. Woody Browning
and little daughter, Mildred, from
Pecos City, are here for a visit
in the W. H. Browning home.
We are all pleased to see them.
Good rains are reported on the
head of School creek and be-
tween School creek and Big Lu-
cy on the Hamilton road. The
creek was so swollen by the rise
that many persons ooming in
this direction had to wait for the
waters to subside before they
could oross. The rains will
probably be general before many
days, as the atmosphere seems
to be charged with dampness.
First Monday brought a great
crowd of country traders, who
assembled on the square. Many
things besides livestock ohange
hands at these trades days, and
if the merchants of the city would
become interested and make
special offerings for the first
Mondays the crowds would be
larger and trading in every line
more brisk and satisfactory.
The day could be made a day for
general exchanges as well as
bargain day in the stores and
would become thus a source of
attraction for country people
miles away. Try this method.
Mrs. Alice Bowden discon-
tinues the Weekly edition and
joins the throng of readers of
The Daily Leader, a movement
which should be general among
all the city dwellers. The Daily
Leader is nearing the comple-
tion of its twelfth year, and sure-
ly should no longer be consider-
ed a “wild-eyed” venture, but a
fixture for Lampasas. Just as
well have the news while it is
fresh, and we will deliver it at
your door for a very small remu-
neration. Come along; there is
room for you.
You never get a bad fack of
White Crest.
