A DetighttuS Occasion.
An unusually charming pro-
gram of songs, readings and
pantomimed solos preceded th8
“Feast” in the Sunday school
room of the Methodist church
Friday night. Deserving of spe-
cial mention was the “Gleaners,”
a beautiful song of harvest time
sung and pantomimed by four
young ladies in vari-colord robe3
with arms filled with sheaves.
The “feast” was a most suc-
cessful affair, both artistically
and financially. Seven colors—
white, brown, green, red, orange,
yellow and pink—were empha-
sized in the decorations, menu
and costumes of Class No. 11,.in-
termediate department, who
served a most delicious course at
each table. The color scheme
was further accentuated in the
flowers at tables, while sumach
branches, autumn leaves, and
merry-faced Jack o’Lanterns
suggested the closing days of
balmy October.
Olkas No. 11 wishes to thank
the public and friends for patron-
age and assistance towards the
success of the entertainment. X
Born, Saturday hight, to Mr.
and Mrs. John C. Abney, a son.
Misses Liddie and Edd Powell,
of Liberty Hill, were the guests of
their sister, Mrs. Meda Hallmark,
Sunday.
Mrs. Charles Hamon, of Bur-
net, is among the new employes
of the Higdon-Senterfitt-Andrew
Co., where she will be pleased to
meet her friends.
Large shipment of Schrafft’s
chocolates in bulk and fancy
packages just reoeived.

Mrs. N. C. Price, of the north-
ern part of the county, was here
Friday and made The Leader a
pleasant business call. She is
the mother of Prof. T. L. Price,
well known in this and adjoining
counties.
Charlie Rice, of the Lake Vic-
tor section, is again numbered
among the readers of The Leader
at that place. He sold his for-
mer home a year since, and is
now living nearer to the lines of
civilization and gets his mail
more easily. He is a good citi-
zen and a successful farmer and
stockman.
That gorgeous bouquet of
roses on The Leader desk came
from the rose garden of the Mil-
ler Bros, nursery, a mile east of
Lampasas. It is surely one of
the most beautiful and well se-
lected that could be gathered
anywhere, the base boing tube
rosea and the main body being
composed of roses of many dii-
feren hues. Thanks, gentlemen.
May your orders continue to in-
crease and may the ladies of
Lampasas learn the art of culti-
vating these beautiful plants,
which are so much appreciated
at this season and really at all
seasons of the ye?* 'V

is visiting her daughter, Mrs. J.
C. Abney.
Jesse Noble, of Ferris, is a
guest in the home of Rev. J. M.

Mrs. Ben Peak is at home from

Mills county.
Miss Mary Rainwater has re-
turned to her work at Killeen,
after a pleasant visit with her
darents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Rainwater, a few miles east of
Lampasas.
First Monday witnessed a great
many traders on the square, and
many things of real value were
offered for sale or exchange. It
is proper to observe such occa-
sions, and a general trades
day would be a good thing to in-
augurate in Lampasas.
Carl Andres, a nephew of Mrs.
Slommach, died at Austin Satur-
day, and the body was brought
to the old home at Burnet for in-
terment. Mrs. Slommaoh and
her daughter, Miss Dora, attend-
ed the funeral. The young man
was well known here.
George W. Davis, one of the
leading stockmen and farmers of
the northern part of Burnet coun-
ty, was among the visitors Sat-
urday and ordered The Leader
to come to his home in' the future.
Many new subscriptions are com-
ing in recently, and some of the
old ones are advancing their
dates. We can welcome a larger
proceeding of this character.
Mrs. Green Hastings, of Wil-
son county, has been visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Milton Townsen,
for some time, and left Monday
afternoon for her home. Mrs.
Plaatings and the writer were
among the young people of Gon-
zales and Wilson counties more
than forty years ago, and it vvas
with great pleasure that we had
the privilege of meeting again.
Mrs. Hastings was Miss Lucy
Delbridge.
The Halloween period passed
off quietly, though there were
some “ghosts”—real live ghosts
—walking and riding about the
city Saturday night. No inter-
ference with the property of oth-
ers was noted, and now that the
day is over, the young people
who might have done such mis-
chief as frequently is done at
such times, are glad they did
nothing out of the ordinary. It
is all right to have a good time
and observe holidays, but it is
all wrong to interfere with or to
depredate in any manner upon
the property of others at any time.
Unity of Human Race Admitted.
All scientists recognize and admit
tlie unity of the human race, and at-
tribute seeming variations to physical
conditions, environment and habits.
’The points of physical identity among
the different races are far more nu-
merous and important than the points
of difference.

The following is the weather
forecast as reported by the gov-
ernment;
Tonight and Tuesday cloudy;
Tuesday colder.
Not Uncommon Error,
•‘A man is. liable to git in wrong,”
said Uncle Eben, “when he mistakes
loafin’ for peace.”
Modern Plowing.
In the United Kingdom steam plow-
ing is generally carried on on the
double engine system; introduced by
John Fowler in 1865. The most im-
proved plow in the United States con-
sists of large engines drawing behind
them a number of plows, sometimes
covering a space of thirty feet.
True Friendship Endures.
Friends may part, not merely in
body, but in spirit, for awhile. In the
bustle of business and the incidents
of life they may lose sight of each
other for years; they may begin to
differ in their success in life, in their
opinions, in their habits, and there
may be for a time coldness and
estrangement between them; but not
forever, if each remains trusty and
true.
Early Polish.
At least one little girl in New York
Is in line for a diplomatic position
when the government decides to ad-
mit feminine aspirants to the- corps.
She was sitting on a park bench the
other afternoon, in company with an-
other child about her own age. There
was evidently some disagreement be-
tween them, and suddenly the dis-
creet maiden turned to her obuoJdous
companion, smiled sweetly, and said:
“Well, if one^ of us should get off
this seat, I’d have more room.”
