CAMP DALLAS GIVES
* SECOND CONCERT
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock
given by the Camp Dallas Band was
enjoyed at Anderson Park in Dickson
auditorium. There was a large crowd
who heard the program, but it is said
the entertainers did not have the in-
spiration of seeing the large crowd
on account of so many remaining seat-
ed in their automobiles, instead of
taking seats in the auditorium.
The program consisted of a num-
ber ox band selections, and the med-
ley number of old familiar airs
brought forth a hearty applause, as
the general public never fails to ap-
preciate “Massa’s in De Cold, Cold
Groun’ ” and other such familiar mel-
odies. Miss Mary Stokes is a favor-
ite soprano of Lampasas, and she
captivated the audience on this oc-
casion when she sang as a solo, “Morn-
ing,” by Speaks, and also responded
to a hearty encore. Messrs. Heath,
Settle and Ewell, the Camp Dallas
trio, rendered several selections which
were first class and elicited prolonged
applause. Conductor Herzog has made
many fi*iends for himself and the band
by furnishing these splendid musical
evenings, and Lampasas people are
enjoying the opportunity of hearing
them in a splendid way.
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Torbett, of
Georgetown, were guests here Sunday
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Pierce. Mr. Torbett is manager for
the Garner-Alvis Co. at Georgetown.
GEOLOGIST HERE MAKING
INSPECTION
A. J. Greit of New York, but tem-
porarily making headquarters in
Waco, is here making geological in-
spection and on Friday went out to
the W. M. Aynesworth place in the
McCreiaville community ]and looked
over the well on his place in which
was recently discovered a gas pocket.
Saturday he went out on the H. C.
Townsen and W. A .Nuckles places
and the first of next week will look
over the F. J. Harris and E. S. Hunt
holdings, with a view of drilling for
oil. Mr. Greit is said to be a suc-
cessful geologist and comes highly
recommended.
E. M. Aynesworth of Waco, a
brother of W. MT Aynesworth, writes
that, the people of Waco have im-
plicit faith in Mr. Greit as a geolo-
gist and recommends him highly. It
is stated that he has eastern capital-
ists back of him, and if he finds the
indications here good for oil, wells
vail be drilled.
Lampasas people have put a con-
siderable amount of money into oil
projects with no satisfactory results,
and consequently they are skeptical,
though it must be admitted that
many firmly believe Lampasas coun-
ty has plenty of oil, if it could only
be located.
Mr. Greit expects to be here for
several days and will make a thor-
ough geological investigation, and
perhaps there will be something in-
teresting to the general public at a
later date when he has completed the
work.
JONES-CASBEER
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock the
marriage ceremony of one of Lam-
pasas’ most charming young ladies,
and one of Liberty Hill’s popular
young men, took place when Rev. J
Grady Timmons united in marriage
Miss Mary Marie Casbeer of this city,
and Emmett Anson Jones, of Liberty
Hill, the nuptial vows being assumed
at the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Casbeer.
The bride was reared to womanhood
in Lampasas and belongs to one of
the most highly respected families in
this county, the Casbeers being among
the oldest and sturdiest families liv-
ing here. She graduated from the
I Lampasas High School, took a busi-
ness course and later accepted a posi-
tion with the Kempner State Bank,
as cashier, but during the past year
she taught in the Lometa public
schools. She is an attractive young
lady and possesses many rare virtues
of womanhood.
Mr. Jones is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
D. L. Jones, of Lometa, and until five
months ago l'esided in that place,
where he was connected with the W.
F. & J. F. Barnes Lumber Co., and
was also mayor of Lometa at the time
he resigned to accept a promotion,
when he was offered the position of
manager of the two Barnes lumber
yards at Liberty Hill and Leander.
He is a progressive and capable young
man and has a host of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones left in their car
immediately after the ceremony for
Waco and Dallas, and after a few
days’ visit will go to Liberty Hill
where they will make their home.
Only near relatives of the two fam-
iiiles witnessed (the ceremony, in-
cluding- S. H. Casbeer and family,
Mrs. P. A. Nichols, of Breckenridge;
Mrs. V. A. Snell, Mrs. Emma Man-
kins; Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Jones, of
Lometa, parents of the bridegroom;

cere congratulations are extended to
the happy young couple.

CAMP MARLAMONT HAS
INCREASED ATTENDANCE
Dr. J. V. Brown is spending a few
days here looking -after the Camp
Marlamont summer school, and re-
ports the enrollment now numbers
118 students. Dr. Brown is well
pleased with the school and says that
all have- settled down to work. and
everything is running along nicely.
Plans are being worked out to have
a big baseball game on Ju’y 4th be-
tween Camp Marlamont and the Lap
list Academy summer school in San
Marcos, which numbers between 80
and 90 students. The plan is to have
the Camp Marlamont school go to
San Mateos on July 3rd and spend the
Foui'th of July holiday as the guests
of the Acad : ly and return on the
5th. And if possible have the San
Marcos school come to Camp Marla-
mont and enjoy anfouting here and
give them an opportunity to see what

a summer school. It is hoped that
these plans may be worked out to suit
the convenience of both schools and
that the ball game may prove a means
of diversion for the holiday occasion.

Austin, Texas, June 17.—Foard
county sent $7,550 to the State treas-
urer Tuesday in part payment of its
drouth relief loan of five years ago.
This reduced the county’s indebted-
ness to the State to $1,075.
Nearly all of the counties which ob-
tained loans to buy seeds following
the drouth period have paid all or
part of the loan. In one or two ex-
ceptions, no part of the loan has been
repaid to the State.
The last Legislature adopted a reso-
lution instructing the Attorney Gen-
eral to proceed to collect the money
loaned to- the counties and letters
were forwarded advising that the
loans must be repaid. This has caused
more payments than usual and the
total indebtedness has been materi-
ally reduced.
