done in Pearsall, and should be

‘’Your streets are very clean,
i Kiight add that this is a most
Uuable asset to your town, and
icits much favorable comment
o:n visitors. The railroad right-
way especially is more cleanly
rad attractive than it was on my
visit last year. The alleys and

towns of like size, but there is

or late in the evening.
‘‘A trash man should be em

ployed to remove and burn all
trash and refuse at least once

uned out and the manure hauled
if at least every nine days, for
longer than that will encourage
I the breeding of flies.
Your milk supply is far above
t he av erage, and according to
: bcock test made today, is 20 per
cent better than that sold in San
o | Antonio.
The markets are in a fairly
sanitary condition, though the
methods used by the workmen for
washing their hands could be de-
improved by using running
iter instead of an ordinary basin
dirty towel. The meat blocks

‘The court house is in a splen

made much cleaner than it was
Your public school buildings
are in perfect sanitary condition
which is certainly a great thing
for the towri. However, I woulc
uggest the employment o f a
j physician for the purpose of ex
amining every child that enters
I. as a precautionary measure
igainst diseases common among
Iren, and which can easily be
, pt from spreading by giving
t crn proper attention in time.
‘ f find that Pearsall is badly in
eed of a first-class hotel, but the
grocery stores are kept in good
as condition. .
The Mexican part of town is
rtainly to be commended for its
serai cleanliness, which is hard-
to be expected of a class of
nt | people so poor.”
Included in the doctor’s talk was
uch else of interesting informa-
’; t on and criticism, showing Pear-
ill as it looks to an outsider who
t investigated the existing con*
hi ions. His talk was thoroughly
appreciated and should assist in
iccomplishin much good for the
town. As a suggestion, Dr. Car-
ick said that Mrs. E. A, Lilly

36 appointed city health officers,
and they certainly would look af-
ter the sanintary conditions and
sec that the [laws were complied
with- A city health officer differs
materially from a city physician,
and does not entail the expense
that the latter would. The sug-
gestion is a good one and the
Leader moves that the ladies be
appointed.
CURRENT EVENTS CLUB.
The Current Events Club was
delightfully entertained, Friday
evening at the home of Mrs. Will
Tyner. Roll call was answered
with current events of great men
of the day. Mrs. Newcomb was
made an associate member of the
club. Misses Bryant and Cund
were elected to membership.
Three very interesting articles
were read. There will be an
x A • --r~~'
election of officers at the next
meeting, so all members are urged
to be present. The meeting will
INSTALLING FIRE ALARM.
C. I. Robinson spent consider-
able time this week installing the
new fire alarm system. Four box-
es will be placed, one at G. W.
Sanders & Bros., corner, one at
the National Bank Corner, one at
the fire station and one at the tele-
phone office. The boxes will have
a glass front, and jn turning in
an alarm the directions are to
break the glass and pull a small
chain inside, which rings the fire
bell at the light plant, and the en
gineer pulls the whistle cord.
The new system simplifies greatly
the turning in of tire alarms,
which has been somewhat tardy at
times when depending on the old
method of ringing central and
having the operator ring the pow-
er house.
TATLOR-KVECK.
Miss Hulda Kueck and Mr.
Hugh Taylor were married Sun-
day evening, September 14th, at
6:30 o’clock, at the home of the
bride’s sister, Mrs. Fausler, at
Yancey.
While immediate relations and
close friends knew of the engage-
ment of the young people, no one
mew the date set for the wedding,
and were unaware that the event
iad taken place,till Hugh dropped
into town several days later, an*
nounced that he was married man
and accepted the congratulations
of his many friends. Mrs.Taylor
remained with her sister on visit.
The bride is a most estimable
and attractive young lady, who
has for the past year made her
home on the ranch with Mrs.C.M.
Slaughter- Mr. Taylor is the sec-
ond son of Milton Taylor, of Frio
Town, well known throughout the
county, and held in high esteem
by his friends.
The young people will make
their home on Mr. Taylor’s ranch,
where work will be started at
once on a nice home for them.
NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The Leader has been decided-
ly averse to sending out sub-
scription statements till the
past month, knowing that
money was none to plentiful
and the farmers naturally feel
that they should remember
the merchants first. However,
the cotton crop is now more
than half marketed, and our
delinquent subscribers can pay
up their subscription to the
Leader without fear of injur-
ing our feelings.
But joking aside, we will
appreciate it very much if
those who owe for the Leader
will play that game, “Tickle
the Editor,” in which an
amount sufficient to cover all
arrears and a year’s subscrip-
tion in advance, is handed or
mailed the editor in an effort
to make him smile. It’s a
great joke.

SMUGGLERS ARRIVE.
The fourteen smugglers captur-
ed at Carrizo Springs last week
were brought t o
Mary Metcalfe.
Mrs. Tyner’s guests were, Mrs-
Walter Thompson, Mrs. Raymond
Ayres, Misses, Mabel Woodward,
Mae Sellers and Lena Bilhartz.
Delightful refreshments o f
pressed chicken, cheese sandwiches
jelly sandwiches and soda water
were served.
Quite a crowd of Americans and
Mexicans met the train and ac-
companied themjto the court house,
where they were photographed for
the San Antonio Express. The
jail now contains more prisioners
than at any time since it was built
and is pretty well crowded. The
trial of the smugglers will start
September 29th.

RECITAL GREATLY ENJOYED.
The recital given in the opera
house Tuesday evening by Miss
Grace Fisher and Mrs. E- G.Coch-
ran was certainly the most enjoy-
able evpnt the people of Pearsall
have attended in many a day, and
the house was crowded. For an
hour and a half Miss Fisher ren-
dered the most difficult selections
on the violin, and demonstrated
a wonderful control of her vocal
powers, changing from low to the
highest notes without apparent
effort. Mrs. Cochran only render-
ed one selection on the piano, but
this was highly appreciated. Both
ladies were warmly compliment
ed at the close of the performance-
NEW POWER FOR GIN.
After lying idle for several
years, the iron-clad gin, belonging
to the Pearsall Gin Company, has
been repaired, improved and
placed in running order to handle
part of the cotton crop Instead
of using the steam engine belong-
ing to the gin, a line shaft was
run over from the oil mill and the
gin machinery connected up to
this by belt. This obviates the
necessity of employing an engineer
and fireman and economizes the
operation of the gin in many
ways. The first run was made
Monday while the brick gin closed
down for repairs.
BAKERY SOLD.
i E. D. Tundre, of San Antonio,
has closed a deal for the Pearsall
Bakery, taking charge Monday.
Mr- Tundre is a baker of ‘experi-
ence and will make his home in
Pearsall. Mr. Currlin, who has
owned the bakery for several
months, felt compelled to give it
up, as he was unable to do the
work, on account of a wrenched
back, which has kept him in poor
health for several weeks The
bakery has a splendid trade.
