Died, February 25, 1909, little
Ino, half sister of little Uno, de-
deceased, a short time ago. While
little Ino lived scarcely six weeksr
she was a promising child. It
seemed like fate was against little
Ino. She did not seem to thrive
in her first abode and she moved
to what appeared to be a more
congenial locality. Here amid
the wholesomeness of the sur-
roundings she bid fair to live to
.a ripe old age, but alas, cruel
fate had decreed it otherwise.
Little Ino had many relatives in
Texas. So many that our legis-
lature decided that they needed
some medicine; so they fixed up
a little prescription, and Dr.
Campbell took a day off and ad-
ministered the dose. And hor-
rible to relate, in less than 48
hours every one of the little dar-
lings had closed their eyes in
lasting sleep, and now their
friends, like Rachael of old, are
refusing to be comforted because
of their children which were, but
are now not. To the mourners
we would say weep not; while
the little Inos can never come
back to you, you can go to them.
Texas is broad, but if you go be-
yond her confines you can again
see the faces of these dear little
Inos. Peace to their ashes. They
have not lived in Texas many
years, but staid out their welcome.

VISITED LAMPASAS.
Tells of Changed Conditions, Good Stock,
Advancement Materially and Morally.
Leaving home Monday morn-
ing in buggy with my oldest son
I made my way to Lampasas
over rough and dusty roads, ar-
riving there at 11 o’clock. It
was stock breeder’s show day,
and the best blooded animals of
the county were there. I can
not make special mention of all,
but there were some as good
blooded horses there as can be
found in this part of the state.
It was quite a contrast to one
year ago. There were some five
or six hundred people in town
and the streets were completely
thronged with vehicles. This
crowd was partly composed of
what is commonly known in
Lampasas as the “horse gang,”
as they came there to trade horses
on that day. I was mingling
with the crowd from 11 o’clock
until 4 in the afternoon and to
my surprise I did not see a drunk
man nor smell liquor on any
man’s breath nor hear an oath
sworn during the day. At 12
o’clock I ate dinner at Mat
Smith’s restaurant in the build-
ing where he formerly ran a sa-
loon. It is a nice, quite place,
and I was glad to note that Mr.
Smith was doing a good busi-
ness.
At 5 o’clock I left Lampasas
and drove out to the home of my
old friend, J. D. Henderson,
where'I spent the night. Mr.
Henderson is one of the most
prosperous farmers in Burnet
co unty, and it is indeed a pleas-
ure to be in this splendid home.
Next morning I visited the lit-
tle school at Bachelor’s Peak
where my sister has been teach-
ing-.for four years. This is a
small country school, but there
are some things worthy of special
mention. The trustees have
added more than $200 worth of
repairs to the building. I found
a well arranged library with 291
volumes. These were donated
by friends of the teacher and
school. They are not the cheap
15c edition, but are standard
works, divided as follows: S. S.
and Bible stories, poems, miscel-
laneous, music, natural history,
water studies and stories for
children in 16 volumes and
American Standard Dictionary
Encyclopedia all of which cost
over $300. There were also 16
charts for teaching agriculture,
natural history and physiology.
On the wall there are maps of the
county, state and United States,
also a map of Europe, Asia, Af-
rica and South America. It is
one of the best equipped country
school buildings I have ever seen
and the worthy trustees—J. D.
Henderson and Joseph F. Field,
deserve| a great deal of credit
for their untiring efforts in mak-
ing the school a success. If this
little school can do this why can’t
Lometa have a library? I will
have something to say on this
subject In the near future.—J.
W. Lee in Lometa Reporter.

A Nomadic Piece of Land.
Cape Cocl itself is sand, and like
everything of a desert nature, is
nomadic. Like the Arab, it is always
silently stealing away, so that the ai>
pearance of the peninsula constantly
changes, says a writer in Outing. The
pievailing winds in the winter being
from the north, the sand is blown
south; in summer it is blown t’other
way, but the winter winds being
stronger, the land is gradually work-
ing south. Monomoy. at the lower
end, used to be an island, its extrem-
ity being called Cape Malabar, a name
not used now. This island of Mono-
moy is rapidly growing toward Nan-
tucket, it having advanced some five
miles in the last 50 years.
