Miss Vonnie Lee Tice, of Killeen, is
Two Prodace Houses in Lampasas
Buy Nearly Nine Thousand
Turkeys.
Monday and Tuesday of this week
the two produce houses in Lampasas
bought nearly nine thousand turkeys
—to be exact they handled 8,600.
There w*ere even more than this
amount brought to the city, but the
local firms were not able to take care
of all that came on these two days.
Of the two days sale of turkeys,
Tuesday was the record-breaking day,
five thousand' being handled on that
day alone.
The price paid for the turkeys was
20 cents, and it is said the birds are
in especially good condition. The fi-
nancial aid this by-product of the
farm will bring to Lampasas is no
small item and with the crop at its
peak now for Thanksgiving trade and
with the Christmas trade yet to come, |
the money put in circulation will help
the financial condition wonderfully.
Refrigerating cars are now on the
railroad tracks ready to ship the
dressed birds north and east, and a
steady trade will be maintained in
the turkey business from now until
after Christmas.
It is said that a number of wagon
loads of turkeys had to go back home
late Tuesday evening on account of
local firms not being able to handle
all that were brought in, but in all
probability this will not happen again,
as the number of birds were decreased
considerably during these two days.
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hewgley went to
Temple Tuesday morning for a short
visit.

The people of the Friendship school
community gave an entertainment
Friday evening, Nov 9, which was wed
attended by the people of that com-
munity and a few of the Lampasas
people, and heartily enjoyed by ail
present. Those attending from '« am-
pasas were: Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Bark-
ley, Mr. and Mrs. V. E. Curry, J. C.
Griffin, J. R. Key, Roy L. Walker, W-
B. McGee, C. C. Abney, Gordon Mack-
ey, Claud Donnell, Ray S. Carney and
Herbert J. Abney.
The Friendship school is one of the
best rural schools of the county and
the people are justly proud of their
building and progress made in the
work, and this meeting was a get-to-
gether affair and no special program
had been prepared for the occasion.
Music was furnished throughout the
evening by the band and the welcome,
address was delivered by little Miss
Mabel Spivey and received hearty ap-
plause from the entire house. A. O.
Harrell was master of ceremonies and
gave a brief history and accomp-
lishment of the school.
Several of the Lampasas people
responded to the invitation to speak,
but the pie sale which was to follow
the program seemed to be on the
minds of all of the speakers and they
cut their talks short in order to get
to the pie selling as soon as possible.
The school is in need of some liter-
ature and the women of the com-
munity had baked pies to be auction-
ed off. The sale was quite a success
and $73.20 was realized from the sale
of pies.
The band which is composed of the
following members: Hugo Frank, Os-
car Frank, Edgar Frank, Willie
Frank, Frank Green, Perry Green, Lee
Green, Harold Spivey, Clyde Spivey,
Leonard Spivey, Jim Harrell and O.
L. Nance as director, has only been
organized three months and is show-
ing rapid progress and was heartily
applauded after each number.
The Friendship school is taught this
year by Mrs. O. L. Nance and Miss
Minnie Chambers and they are doing i
some excellent work and receiving the
hearty co-operation of the patrons
and pupils.

A Wish
“T HAVE TAKEN Cardui for run-down, worn-out
-»• condition, nervousness and sleeplessness, and I was
weak too,” says Mrs. Silvie Estes, of Jennings, Okla.
“Cardui did me just lots of good—so much that I gave
it to my daughter. She complained of a soreness in her
sides and back. She took three bottles of Cardui and
her condition was much better.
“We have lived here, near Jennings, for 26 years, and
now we have our own home in town. I have had to
work pretty hard, as this country wasn’t built up, and it
made it hard on us.
“I WISH I could tell weak women of Cardui—the
medicine that helped give me the strength to go on and
do my work.” This card fulfils her wish.
