DEATH OF MISS JENNIE HEWETT
Miss Jennie Hewett, who has made
her home here with her sister, Mrs.
J. F. Coker, for the past forty-two
years, died Tuesday morning about
10 o’clock after a sickness extending
over only a few days. The immediate
cause of her death was erysipelas in
the throat and head. The deceased
was born in Alabama in 1855, and
came to Lampasas in 1883. During her
residence here she had made many
friends and the neighbors who have
learned to love her so well will miss
her from the home where she had re-
sided so long.
Three sisters are the immediate rel-
atives left, and are Mrs. J. F. Coker,
of Lampasas; Mrs. Taylor Walker, of
Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. B. H. Ben-
nett, of Wilmar, Ark. On account of
the long distance from the other sis-
ters neither of them will be here to
attend the funeral services.
The funeral services will be con-
ducted Wednesday morning at 10
o’clock at the home of Mrs. J. F.
Coker by Rev. J. W- Parten, pastor of
the Baptist church, and interment
will be made in the Oak Hill • Cem-
etery.

SENATE REJECTS CHILD
LABOR AMENDMENT
Austin, Texas, Jan. 26.—The sen-
ate today rejected ratification of the
federal child labor constitutional
amendment 23 to 2.
Senator Charles Murphy of Hous-
ton and Senator A. E. Wood of
Granger voted in opposition to the
majority.
The bill of Senator Ward of Cle-
burne, making libel a falony, was laid
on the table in the senate subject to
call. The measure is regarded as par-
ticularly oppressive by newspaper
publishers.
Senator Mooi’e of Greenville offer-
ed a bill to tax motor vehicles. Mo-
torcycle owners would pay $4 annual-
ly and private automobiles from $4
to $10 according to weight. Trucks
would pay from $10 to $30. Passen-
ger motor vehicles for hire would pay
in addition $5 annually for each seat.
Judges of the district court would
constitute a juvenile board in coun-
ties of 100,000 population or over and
in cities of 40,000 or more, according
to a bfil introduced by Senator Par-
nell of Wichita Falls.
Practice of Chiropody would-be reg-
ulated by Senator Charles R. Floyd’s
measure. The Senator from Paris
would require the state board of
health to examine and license practi-
tioners.
The cattle tick eradication bill in-
troduced by Senator Parr of Ben-
avides and referred to the committee
on live stock and stockraising, would
make tick eradication compulsory in
all of the state except a portion in
south and east Texas, whei*e it would
be left to local option elections.
People are still suffering from the
“flu” or bad colds, and measles still
claiming victims, and a number of a-
dults are suffering from the disease.
No serious sickness is reported from
these particular ailments, but it is a
good idea to be careful and not re-
lapse.
WOULD-BE COLONY
' FEARED SWINDLED
LAREDO' Tex., Jan. 26.—What
Federal officials believe is another
land swindle, was unearthed here
Monday when a carload of 58 men,
women and children arrived here from
Oklahoma with the intention of tak-
ing up lands in Mexico which they
claimed to have purchased.
They ckme from Chatocah, Okla.,
in a special car, prepared to continue
to the State of Vera Cruz. According
to the tale told them by the land
agent, the Mexican government was
to furnish them transportation south
from the border.
When they applied for the transpor-
tation at Nuevo Laredo, Mexican of-
ficials said they had received no such
order from the Federal authorities.
It was that discovery which turned
the colonists back.
They reported to Federal author-
ities here that the Vera Cruz land was
sold to them by a man who gave them
his name as A. C. Johnson. A full
account of the transaction was turned
over to American Federal investiga-
tors.
The 58 colonists were permitted to
remain in their car here, and will
begin the journey back to Oklahoma
Tuesday.
Mrs. Word Skaggs arrived here on
the Monday night train from Long
Beach, Califorina, and is the guest of
her mother, Mrs. Ed Easters. . She
and Mr. Skaggs started from Califor-
nia in the car, but Mrs. Skaggs took
sick and had to lay over en route a'
Tucson, Ariz., and got as far as Va
Horn, Texas, where they left theii
car and came on the train as far a-
Sweetwater. Mr. Skaggs turned bac
to Van Horn after the car and Mrs
Skaggs came on to Lampasas, an
they will probably be here permanent
ly.

Wm. McCauley, prop, blacksmit

horses, and there were times when
could hardly straighten. The kidne

highly colored. I felt all played out
