Evangelist Williams’ address
Monday evening was on “The
Restoration of God’s Kingdom
On Earth.”
He pointed out that the prayer
in which our Lord taught his
disciples to pray, “Thy Kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth
as it is in Heaven,” will be
literally answered, and that God
had promised to his Son a king-
dom as taught in Isa. 9: 6-7,
Dan. 7: 13-14, Ezek. 21: 25-27
and that the kingdom promised
while on earth, as shown in Jer.
23: 5-6, Psl. 2: 8-9, IGor. 15; 25,
Rev. 5: 10 and 1: 15. God’s
word is sure and according to
the scriptures must be fulfilled.
Mr. Williams was listened to
with much interest and no doubt
brought to many minds new
thoughts as contained in His
word. The subject this evening
will be “The work of the Lord’s
Jewels, Taking out the First
Fruits of His Creatures,” Jas 1:
18. No collection. Court-house,

Fullwood Wagon Yard.
I am again in control of my

house, sheds for your wagons and
teams, shop to repair your vehi-
cles or shoe your horses. Best

will appreciate your trade.
dw21 R. W. Fullwood.
In the base ball game Satur-
day between the Belton high
school team and the Lampasas
boys, the Lampasas boys were
victorious by a score of six to
two. The Belton boys were full
of praise for their treatment
while here.
J. E. Jones one of the pro-
gressive young farmers from the
eastern part of the county, was
here and added The Leader to
his course of reading matter.

City Ordinance.
Sometimes one who would
gladly obey the law is at a loss
to know just what the law is,
but an adage comes down to all
from the ancients that “ignor-
ance of law excuses no one.”
One of the best rules to be
| observed is to “Try the shoe on
! the other foot,” or “put yourself
| in the other fellow’s place,” be-
l fore you do anything about
j which you or others may have a
1 doubt as to propriety.
Ordinance No. 100 is a lengthy
document and covers a multitude
of little things, its title being
properly nuisances. It provides
penalties in the way of fines not
j less than $1.00 nor more than
$100.00, and covers decaying
carcasses, filthy or offensive
water, slaughter houses, markets,
i cellars, stores or other places
| which are not kept clean and
wholesome. The throwing of
glass, tin, queensware or crock-
ery into the streets or alleys;
forbids persons sleeping in the
streets or alleys, forbids the
throwing of any| foul or putrid
liquors or water or other sub-
stances likely to become nau-
seous, foul or putrid upon the
streets, alleys or public grounds.
The printing, painting, past-
ing, sticking or placing of any
advertising, handbills, placards
or any printed pictures on
written matter upon any house,
wall, building, fence, bridge, or
other property, private or public
is forbidden.
Ordinance No. 101 provides
that it shall be unlawful for any
person to ride or drive on or
along the streets of Lampasas at
a greater speed than 7 miles per
hour, or faster than a walk over
any bridge within the city limits.
Riding a bicycle or tandem at
night without a light displayed or
in the day time without a bell,
whistle or horn is also unlawful.
It is unlawful to hitch or tie
any horse, mule or cow to any
lamp post, or gallery post, fence
or house, telegraph or telephone
post, or to leave such animals
standing on any sidewalk or
street crossing.
There are many other ordin-
ances enacted for the guidance
of people who do not seem to
know that the public or any
other person has any rights, and
it would be well for these and
other regulations to be observed.
The assembling of persons at
the railroad depots on Sunday
afternoons with their vehicles
sometimes get to be a nuisance,
and unless it is abated, the
practice may be so declared by
the city council.
Abundant hitching posts, chain
and racks have been pro-
vided about the courthouse, on
Western Avenue and at other
places, and the practice of stop-
ping horses and vehicles on the
streets which are crowded should
be abolished. It is well to
remember that “other people
have rights,” and a standing
vehicle in a crowded street may
become a source of danger.
JohnW. Smith, who occupied
the Vernor ranch some years
ago, but who now lives in the
western part of Runnels county,
puts himself in advance with The
Leader by a remittance which
was gladly received.
A copy of Webster’s Una-
bridged Dictionary was offered at
a teachers institute in Pennsyl-
vania to any teacher who would
read the following paragraph
and pronounce every word ac-
cording to Webster: “A sacri-
legious son of Belial, who suffered
from bronchitis, having exhaust-
ed his finances, in order to make
good the deficit, resolved to ally
himself to a comely, lenient, and
docile young lady of the Malay,
or Caucasian race. He accord-
ingly purchased a calliope and a
coral necklace of a chamelion
hue and securing a suite of rooms
at the principal hotel, he engaged
the head waiter as his coadjutor.
He then dispatched a letter of the
most unexceptional caligraphy
extant, inviting the young lady
to a matinee. She revolted at
the idea, refused to consider her-
self sacrificable to his desires
and sent a polite note of refusal;
on receiving which, he procured
a carbine and bowie knife, said
that he would not forge letters
hymneneal with the queen, went
to an isolated spot, severed his
juglar vein and discharged the
contents of his carbine into his
abdomen, the debris was re-
moved by the coroner.” All
failed.
During the absence from town
of H. N. Key, Miss Lula Taylor
and Mrs. Mitchell Bonner are
guests at the Jim Key home.
Mrs. Fannie Wright, of Cole-
man, is here - on a visit at the
home of her niece, Mrs. T. J.
Hooker.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Matthews, of
McCreaville, are the happy par-
ents of a fine boy and girl, the
twins having arrived Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Landers, of
Sknner ranch, have a new boy
at their home, the young man
having arrived Saturday.
Dr. Joe E. Dildy is having two
rent houses constructed on his
Broad street lots, and others are
contemplating building. At pres-
ent it is most difficult to secure a
carpenter and several have been
“imported from neighboring
towns. The Leader is pleased to
see Lampasas take on new life.
The third of a series of mission
lectures was delivered Monday
night at the Roman Catholic
church by Father Kernan, who
carefully explained the “Sacri-
fice of Mass.” Tonight another
phase of Catholic worship will
be taken up and the public is in-
vited to be present.
The following are the names of

ander, John Caldwell, Maggie

Moreland, Clarence Oliver, Rich-
ard Paine, Lillian Pope, Naomi

It is the opinion of the South-
western farmer that if, instead of
worrying about the duty on jute
bagging, the cotton growers will
insist upon a cotton wrap, they
will kill the jute bagging trust
and make a market for 250,000
bales of low grade cotton.
Goes Dry by Eleven Votes.
Springfield, Ohio, March 29.—
With the heaviest vote in local
history Clark county today voted
“dry” by 11 majority in the lo-
cal option election. The total
vote cast in the county was 17,-
831. The election affects ninety-
seven saloons in the county and
three breweries. The result was
in doubt until the precinct was
heard from. The city voted wet
with a majority of 1846. Order
was good.
Self Assertion is an Asset.
We often hear it said that if a
youth has ability people will find
it out without being told; that if
he has merit, it will come out;
but we see on every hand young
men and young women with
splendid abilty, with good educa-
tion and fine training, out of sit-
uations or in very ordinary ones,
simply because they lack that
aggressiveness which pushes its
way to the front. They are con-
scious that they have ability, and
they are just waiting for some-
body to recognize it and to push
them ahead.
Working right beside them are
others with perhaps less ability,
but with an aggressive, ambitious
spirit which attracts attention and
carries them on past their more
modest and retiring friends. In
this electric country of push and
hurry and drive, people are too
busy to investigate merit or mere
worth which does not exhibit
itself or force its way forward.
The American people believe in
the man who claims something,
who assumes to stand for some-
thing, who asserts himself; for
this assertion is evidence of that
aggressiveness which is so es-
sential to success. If a man
makes no claim, people take it
for granted that he does not be-
lieve in himself. But the man
who asserts himself, believes he
can do the thing he undertakes,
creates confidence; and the em-
ployer is looking for the man
who has a program and who be-
lieves he can carry it out. He is
looking for results and men who
can achieve them.
The fine grained, sensitive
youth feels that it is immodest,
unbecoming to push his way for-
ward, to attract attention to his
ability* to tell what he can do;
but while he is waiting for the
world to discover his merit, and
to help him on, the aggressive
boy beside him has pushed his
way to the position above him.—

In the southern states rather
than in New England one would
logically expect to find the
seat of American manufacture.
Here we have a soft climate,
abundant raw materials, cheap
fuel and other natural advant-
ages, but from the first our part
of the country has been the prey
of too many designing dema-
gogues who have ridden or at-
tempted to ride into public office
and personal prosperity on ap-
peal to prejudice and outcries
against capital.—Dallas News.
