j Thursday, April 4th.
Ball game on Speer’s field
Friday, 5 o'clock.
The giant stride and the /slide
still hold the attention of the
children on the school grounds.
The slide was a gift from Mrs.
L. F. Whit^, and the stride was
purchased with the funds from
the entertainment given by the
Parent-Leachers’ Association.
T. E. Gleason is driving a
new Dodge.
John Poynor is in Lancaster
! selling life insurance. He was
i a guest last week in the home
<
of his aunt, Mrs. A. M. Cook.
Dr. R. E. Taylor writes to
sympathize with the Herald,
and says: “You are truly tried
by fire.” Yes, and we will try
to come out pure gold. The
check the Doctor enclosed will
assist in meeting heavy expen-
ses.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Black
entertained the following party
Thursday night at their pretty
suburban home: Mit and Mrs.
Chas. Hunstable, Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Billingsley, Mr. and Mrs.
H. W. Keirsey, Mr. and Mrs.
Gene Anderson, Mrs. Bessie
Hammond, Misses Oilie Wilson,
Nannie Billingsley and Farrar,
Messrs. E. U. Thompson, J. D.
Scott and Joe E. Gist. The
evening was spent in music and
games. A two-course luncheon
of sandwiches, cream and cake
was served- The hospitality of
this home always insures a de-
lightful time, and this event
was no exception.
Ellis Strain, who was home
for the week, had as his guest
William Sailor, a schoolmate
from Terrell school, Dallas.
Miss Laura’ White returned
to school Monday morning.
Mrs. Wortham Lacy went to
San Antonio Friday of last
week to visit her husband, at
Camp Travis. Wortham and
Clyde Denton were recently
made corporals, and instead of
being transferred to another
camp with a selected 500 with
which they had been classed,
•were retained at Camp Travis
to assist in training new men.
This shows the worth of these
officers and our people are
proud of them.
Mr. Easley who, while tear-
ing down the old mill on Mrs.
W. E. Murphy’s property in
West Ijancaster last week, re-
ceived a severe fall in which he

he will be confined for several
weeks. f

2, gave us his $1.50 to keep the

By S. L. RANDLETT, Preat.
Mr. and Mrs. Connor Ham-
mond last week moved into the
K. L. White cottage, corner of
Center and South Sixth, it hav-
ing been improved for their oc-
cupancy. ' Mr. Hammond pur-
chased the Guy lot, south of J.
H. Peacock's home, and will
build a residence there in the
near future. f
C. M. Lyon returned Sunday
morning from San Antonio,
looking so refreshed and reated
that it was not necessary for
him to say he had a great trip.
But he has made his friends
enjoy it with him in the inter-
e*8ting manner in which he has
told of events. He registered
at the Gunter, and then hunt-
ed up old friends and former
townsman, J.' M. Miller, who is
now at the head of the Cattle-
men’s association, ranchman, in-
terested in real estate, etc.,
etc. Mr. Miller took him in his
car to Camp Travis to see Jack
Morton, which was really the
intent of Mr. Lyon’s visit, and
after a weary search and a sec-
ond trip Jack was located and
he never stopped asking quegr-
tions as long as hie uncle wTra
in hearing. Jack is in the hos-
pital service, and stands high.
Mr. Lyon was a dinner guest
in the beautiful home of Mr.
and Mrs. Miller, who extended
many courtesies in the way of
entertainment and sight seeing.
Mr. Lyon also visited relatives.
He stopped at Austin to see his
niece, Mias Jennie George.
