The health of the community is
fine, with the exception of colds.
Brother G. C. Jenkins did not
get to fill his regular appoint-
ment Sunday on account of the
cold weather.
Prof. J. L. Hunter, teacher of
the Friendship school, happened
to a serious accident Thursday,
Jan. 4, while playing football.
He fell and sprained his ankle
and broke a bone just above his
ankle, so he returned tojhis home
at Evant where he will remain
until he gets able to teach, which
W.e hope will be soon.
Mrs. Bert Langford and Miss
Dora Patton were visitors at S.
E. Donnell’s Monday.
Miss Fannie Straley is on the
sick list this week.
Miss Minnie Chambers is
boarding at Richard Patterson’s,
attending school at Adamsville.
There was a pound supper and
dance at Mr. Springer’s Friday
night. June Cox, George Petrey
and Gtto Townsen furnished the
music. All reported an elegant
time.
Mrs. Lum Adams, of Copperas
Cove, is visiting Mr. Scott’s fam-
ily.
Jack Holl$ who has been
working on the railroad at Lome-
ta, has returned to his Old home
place at Adamsville.
Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Holly have
rented Mrs. J. H. Lockhart’s
place and will go to keeping
house soon.
Mrs. Addie Poore and little
son, Doyel, of Bradshaw, were
visitors at G. W. McCann’s the
first of the week.
Ernest McCann is putting in a
farm on the Sims creek bank.
We hope he will make a success.
i The report of the census b.u-
j reau on the cotton ginned up to
j January 1, was made public
| Tuesday, and shows that there
I had been ginned to that date,
14,332,756 bales, of which Texas
furnished 3,935,539 bales, which
was doing fairly well for Texas,
considering the fact that there
was a drouth and the crop was
much short of expectations. This
is about one-fourth of a million
bales more than Texas ever
raised in any one previous sea-
son, but it will probably break
another record next year, unless
there be concert of action to re-
duce the acreage and plant other
crops. It is already stated that
the southwestern part of the
state will have more new land in
cultivation next year than was
planted to cotton this year, and
probably the northwest will be in
the same coneition. The Leader
predicts that cotton will be worth
five cents a pound at marketing
time next fall, unless something
radical is.done by those who cul-
tivate the soil. The remedy ap-
pears to be in diversifying and
raising other things besides cot-
ton. Corn is a good crop. Peas
and peanuts will produce well
here and will help that cotton
land which has been drawn upon
for so many years, and hogs will
be good company for the peas,
corn and peanut crops.
H. Bascom Brown, who makes
his home just northwest of the
city limits, was among the pleas-
ant callers at The Leader office,
leaving a pair of round pieces of
silver, with which both he and
this office were formerly more
familiar than: we have been for
the past two years. However,
the good old times are coming
again, and one of these days
there will be a crop and prices
which will make the boys in the
forks of tbe creek want to find a
place to put their money so it will
do the most good, instead of
having to hunt for money to pur-
chase the necessities of life. Mr.
Brown for many years ran a
{transfer hack or two here and
was known for his excellent
horses, politeness to his patrons
and the kindness with which he
treated his animals.
House and Lot to Trade.-
House and lot in Rogers to
trade for farming land near
Lampasas. House, four large
rooms, porch, well painted and
papered. Large lot, with, gar-
den spot, and stables, near the
main business street, block from
school house. I want land that
is either irrigated or that can be.
d34-wl Prof. C. E. Thomas.
I have moved my livery and
veterinary business to the Gracy
stables, where I will be pleased
to have calls for work in either
line. J. C. Earnest. d-tf
It is said that in December there
went forward from Texas points
more than 100 cars of mistletoe,
50 cars of hollyberry and ever-
green leaves, over 500,000 tur-
keys and equally as many dupks,
geese and chickens to help
brighten the Christmas tables of
the east and north. About 100,-
000 cedar Christmas trees were
also shipped. ' Well and good;
but how many cars of stuff were
shipped into Texas from the east
and north, feed stuff, furniture,
canned, goode, cured meat, mill
products and other things that
Texas ought to raise and make
at home. It is never how much
money we make, but how much
we save that counts.—TimpsOn
Times.
' Enforcement of Sanitary Measures.
All the articles written on
the subject of sanitation and
published in the newspapers of
the state—not a few of which
have appeared in The Leader-
must fail to accomplish any good
unless carried into effect, and
experience has clearly demon-
strated that this will never be
done unless there is some penal-
ty attached to a failure to com-
ply with sanitary requirements.
It is true that a large percent-
age of the citizens of Lampasas
would carry out sanitary meas
ures on their premises, as a
means of warding off disease,
and as a matter of taste, being
governed by a desire to give their
homes an appearance of neatness
even if there were no city ordi-
nances requiring it. There are
others who desire to appear neat
in the eyes of their neighbors,
caring little for sanitation or a
sense of neatness as it affects
themselves. Again there are
those, and the number is not
small, who do not seem to have
any regard for common decency
either in their own person or
their homes, and these two last
named classes are those who
should be compelled to observe
sanitary laws.
If the sanitary Taws are not
sufficient to protect the city from
preventable diseases, others
should be passed, and' enforced.
The city physician called at-
tention to the importance of a
strict observance of sanitary
measures in order to prevent an
epidemic of cerebro spinal men-
ingitis, and his action was time-
ly, since the disease exists in
several cities of the state, to the
extent of requiring the discon-
tinuance of the schools. If, how-
ever, no steps are taken by the
city authorities to enforce his
recommendations, the end ean-
ribt be accomplished, and lives
may be sacrificed as a result of
their neglect. It would seem on
ly necessary to call attention to
this matter in order to secure re-
sults; it is hardly possible that
they do not fully appreciate the
danger. It is a ^matter that
should concern every person in
town, and what is done should
be done at once.

E. C. Terry, of the Copperas
Cove section, was passing by
and made The Leader a pleasant
call. He formerly lived in Lam-
pasas, but likes the farm and
hence has been living in the
country for some years.
Texas is no longer dependent
on outsiders for the necessaries
of life. Industrially, economic-
ally, agriculturally Texas is a
hundred per cent better than it
was a decade ago, and the move-
ment for good rural highways is
but a natural outgrowth of the
progress that has been made in
every line.—Texas Commercial
Secretaries Association.
SWARMING WITH THEM.
Mrs. C. W. Earle’s recent con-
tribution to the history of English
life of the first half o*f the last cen-
tury, entitled “Memoirs and Mero-
ries,” includes a fresh blossom in
the apparently fadeless wreath of
Sydney Smith’s wit.
Mrs. Earle’s mother imparted the
information to Sydney Smith that
she was going to to see an old
aunt.
“What,” ’ ^ exclaimed, “you’ve got
an aunt at Bath ! I have an aunt at
Bath. Everyone has an aunt at
Bath, It’s - a perfect ant-heap.”—
Sr v Magazine.
A Reminder.
If you can’t erect a handsome
residence, why not plant a tree!
Everybody can help beautify.
If our resources are so limited
that we can’t build a factory or
railroad and add to the industrial
wealth of the town, we can at
least plant a tree and aid to
beautify and make it a more de-
sirable place to live.
Everybody knows how re-
freshing is the street that is
lined with cool, green trees and
how inviting it is on a hot day.
Trees and sidewalks enhance
the commercia\ value of proper-
ty, too many times over the cost
of putting them in.
Let’s all remember that its tree
planting time now.—Woman’s !

We’re Opposed
They have never contributed
a cent to furthering the interests
of our town—
Every cent received by them
from this community is a direct
loss to our merchants-—
In almost every case their
prices can be met right1 here,
without delay in receiving goods
and the possibility of mistakes
in filling orders.
But—
The natural human trait is to
buy where goods are cheapest.
Local pride is usually second-
ary in the game of life as
played today.
Therefore
Mr. Merchant and Business
Man, meet your competitors
with their own weapons—
advertising.
Advertise!
The local field is yours. AH
you need do is to avail your-
self of the opportunities offered.
An advertisement in this paper
will carry your message into
hundreds of homes in this com-
munity. It is the surest medium
of killing your greatest com-
petitor. A space this size
won t cost much. Come in
