Of course it is none of our business,
every gin in the valley will be going | but w8 think a fathci. who is ab!e t0
at full blast.
It is estimated that the valley this
year will turn out a crop of more than
100,000 bales of cotton, 10,000 bales
in excess of the total yield last year.
This estimate is based on a larger
yield, and the fact that valley cotton
is in better shape now.than it has ev-
er been at this time of year in the
past.
Efforts are being made to get cotton
pickers from every available source,
to prevent any loss due to a shortage
of labor.
Mrs. D. T. Briggs returned home
Monday from Houston where she has
been with her son, Porter, who under-
went an operation several days ago in
the Baptist Hospital. She reports
Porter doing fine and now able to take
care of himself in a wheel chair, and
it will not be necessary for her to re-
main with him while he is recovering
from the operation and taking elec-
trical treatment and other methods of
restoring the use of his legs and feet.

Of course a miser doesn’t get much
fun out of life, neither is a pauper
very hilarious.
Our observation is that it is easier
for girls to catch a beau these days,
but harder to hold him.
Another reason why the beauty doc-
tors ought to be optimistic is because
there is still a great deal for them to
do.

TWELVE ARRESTS FOR
GAMBLING
Sheriff A. R. Harvey and his deputy
John Alexander, arrested twelve men
Saturday afternoon on a charge of
gambling. Most of the number plead
guilty and paid fines, and probably
all of them will follow suit.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Lionel Sims and children and Mrs.
Chas. Wright, who have been living in
Austin since moving from Lampasas
several years ago, will be interested
to know that they have moved to San
Antonio and are delighted with their
new location. The only objetcion we
have to this move is that they are far-
ther away and may not come to Lam-
pasas as often as heretofore, but we
hope they will wend their way back
STRUCK BY GOLF BALL
Thursday evening Sylvester Lewis,
son of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Lewis, was
struck in the head over the left eye
by a golf ball and was knocked un-
conscious. Sylvester has been cad-
dying for the golfers since the
opening of the Country Club golf
links, and was caddying when
he was struck by the ball. He was
brought to town to the doctor’s office
immediately after the accident where
he had medical attention, and Friday
morning was reported all right. The
ball only missed his temple an inch
or two, which was fortunate indeed,
as a large knot appeared over the eye
which indicated that the lick was of
sufficient force to have caused trouble
if it had struck him on the temple.
_ Mr. and Mrs. J. R. McMillan, whdi
live on Lucy Creek, left Friday morn-
ing for Temple, where Mr, McMillatf
wall undergo an examination in tb/o
hospital. He has been in poor health
for some time and is quite weal-.. Bob
