Unless we can offer constructive criti-

often, the person talked about is ren-

We are all just human beings and
a little kindness is always appreci-
ated. We once knew a political serv-
ant who resigned his office because
it looked to him like he was backed
up against a brick wall and had no
friends who were with him and ap-
preciated his efforts. If you have a
friend who is really trying to accom-
plish things you may expect him to
be criticised and criticised severely.
Don’t wait until he has become dis-
couraged and given up, but go to him
and tell him that you art with him
and believe in him. '--

There are only a few days left now
in which to pay your taxes and avoid
the penalty which will be added after
Jan. 31. Those who are able to pay
should do so and avoid the last min-
ute rush which always occurs. We
all know that it is tax-paying time
and also know that there is a penal-
ty added for failure to pay during the
month of January, but for some rea-
son we will put it off until the last
minute. It is an accommodation to
the tax-collectors and will also save
the individuals time to attend to the
matter early.

During the past two weeks a num-
of new books have been received
Miss Esther Hickman, librarian
the City Library. These books
be placed on the shelves and on
rent table for the use of the read-
ers. Lampasas should be very proud
of its library as it is an unusually
fine library for this sise town. When
the books are taken from the library
they should be well taken care of and
returned within the time limit.
The following books will be pla-
ced on the shelves Friday:
“Give Me one Summer”—Loring;
"The Washington Square Enigma"—
Keeler; “Gun Magic”—Johnston; “The

Mr. and Mrs. Avard Hallmark have
moved to Llano where they have pur-
chased Joe’s Coffee Shop and will op-
erate the business in the future. They
have both been connected with the
Elite Cafe here and Mr. Hallmark has
sold his interest in the business to his
father, W. 0. Hallmark, who will con-
tinue with the business. Mr. and Mrs.
Hallmark are both experienced in the
cafe business and will no doubt make
a success of their undertaking in
Llano.
Just because we do not agree with
another person’s views and ideas, we
should not look upon them as
enemy. This is a free country and we
are all entitled to our own views
all subjects. But, we should not try
to make others see just as we do, for
in that way we become a pest and
are shunned by those who do not
agree with us. It Is all right to ex-
plain your ideas to others, but don't
fall out with them if they are not of
the same opinion.

the Christian Church parsonage. The
ceremony was read by Rev. T. Rich-
ard Gathnght. Mrs. Northrup is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Word
Smith of this city and Mr. Northrup
is a son of Mrs. J. Robert Northrup
of Kerrville. Mr. Northrup has been
in the employ of the Texas Power A

present is located in Taylor. Mrs.
Northrup will remain in Lampasas at
the present time and join her husband
later. Congratulations and best wish-
es is extended them by their many
Lampasas friends.
The other day we happened to ov-
erhear part of a conversation,
was between a porfessional man and
one we were not acquainted with. A
man was paying the professional man
some money and we heard him say
that it was much less than he had
expected and that he would “Dig it
out” as soon as he could. He also
stated that he was well satisfied. The
professional man stated that he be-
lieved in “live and let live.'* It was
one of those cases in which the man
was at the mercy of the other, but
was treated well and will no doubt
be quite an advertisement for that
professional man among his friends
and acquaintances.

Mrs. C. D. Benton, a former resi-
dent of this county, passed away Fri-
day night, Jah. 15, in Waco where
she was making her home with her
daughter.. Funeral services were
conducted here Sunday afternoon at
2:00 o’clock in the funeral parlor of
the Lampasas Furniture Co. » The
service was conducted „ by Bro.
Crane of Austin and interment was
followed in Oak Hill cemetery.
Pallbearers were Gather Patter-
son, Howard Gardner, Thomas Lloyd,
John B. Davis, Dan Cornett and Ray
Thylor. • -
Mrs. Benton had lived in this coun-
ty for over twenty years and for a
number of years had lived in the Nix
community and had a large number
of friends throughout this county. Mr.
Benton passed away in 1922 and was
buried here in Oak Hill cemetery.
The deceased is survived by the
following children: Jim Benton of
Wyoming, Homer Benton of Mon-
tana, Bill Benton of Waco, Mra. Dan-
ky Henderson of Waco, Mrs. Bessie
Harris of Waco, Mrs. Rachel Coley
of Waco, and Mrs. Ruby Simms of (
McOeaville.
The Monday Club met Jan. 18 at
the home of Mrs. Andrew Bassel with
Mra. Othel Smith as co-hostess. The
meeting was called to order by the
president, Mrs. G. Tom Bigham. After
a brief business meeting the meeting
was turned over to the leader, Mrs.
Ryan Howard. Mrs. Howard said,
“Halliburton was born with more than
his share of the poet in his soul and
the vagabond in his heart. He grew
up with the serious handicap of hav-
ing everything he wanted.” The lead-
er called on Mrs. Elton Casbeer for
the review of Halliburton’s "Seven
League Boots.” In the tracks of Han-
nibal he rode his elephant over the
Alps, through the 8000-foot Great St.
Bernard Pass because he thought it
would be amusing. This preposter-
ous, extravagant journey, the grand-
est and most original of all of Halli-
burton’s adventures, caused a sensa-
tion throughout Europe."
Mrs. Howard then told of E. M.
Delafield, pen name for Mra. Paul M.
Dashwood, author of “Faster, Faster”
which was related by Miss Weta Hol-
ley. “The novel is a portrait of a mod-
em mother who boasted that she was
not Victorian, that she would not be
put on a pedestial, that she was fair]
artd dispassionate not only about her
children but about herself.” Claudia’s
(the mother) irritationpl impulses to
move faster, caused her tragic death
and proved that she really wasn't as
necessary as she thought.
The hostesses served sandwiches
and coffee to the nineteen members
