The People Who Sell It For Less
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Walker are
spending a day or two in Goldth-
waite with friends.
Miss Lela Eason, of Palestine,
spent a time here as the guest of
Mrs. J. W. Lane.
D. J. Stoneham and two little
daughters, of Grimes county, are
here to spend a time with rela-
tives. j
Mrs. Chism, of Llano, is here
to take the baths at the Hanna
Springs, and to enjoy the fine
climate.
Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Bivins, of
the Adamsville section, are at
home from Galveston ^and other
points in southern Texas, where
they have been on an outing.
M. A, Hooton, the truck farm-
er and all round citizen, was
here from Ogle Tuesday and
‘made the Leaderman an appre-
ciated call. He tried living away
from Lampasas some years ago,
but like some others came back
and is prospering.
Eastern Star chapter will meet
tonight at Masonic hall. All
members are requested to be
present.
Mrs. H. E. Lowe and children
are at home from Colorado,
where they spent a good part of
the summer. They are glad to
be at home, saying it was too
cold for them in Colorado.
E. S. Long left here this week
for Sonora, Sutton county, mak-
ing the trip on his motorcycle,
which he knows well how to
manage. It is probable he will
return in the same manner with-
in a few weeks.
The first Sold spell of the sea-
son has been with us since Wed-
nesday morning and may remain
some days yet. It makes a de-
mand for heavier clothing, more
covering on the beds and in some
houses the winter fires have been
built;. However there is an in-
vigorating effect produced by
these early northers that is
wholesome to business as well as
to the general good feeling.

There ismo royal road to wealth. The get-rich-
quick schemes are all planned on the theory that
a new sucker is born every minute.
Think of the money that leaves this town
every year to pay for stock in faking mining
deals, oil speculation, wireless stock, patent
right territory and other “blue sky” invest-
ments that eventually leave a “blue” investor.
All because home securities were considered
too slow. You can’t make a fortune in a minutej
Keep your funds in a reliable bank like ours
and don’t be afraia of home investsments simply
because they are slow but SURE.

Baptist Ladies Aid.
The meeting of the Baptist aid
at the church Tuesday afternoon
was a very interesting one, and
was called to order by the pres-
ident, Mrs. Browning, promptly
at 4 O’clock.
The lesson was the 39th chap-
ter of Exodus with “Service” as
the text word. Mrs. F. J. Harris
proved an interesting leader,'
and a general discussion followed
which was beneficial to all pres-
ent.
Some business matters came
up before the society and were
promptly decided upon.
Mrs. Martin gave a report of
personal work done by herself
and Mrs. Williamson as to visiting
the sick and strangers of the
church and aid; also turned in
some quarterly collections.
Mesdames Abney, Browning,
Browh, Martin and Williamson
were appointed to attend the Fifth
Sunday meeting at School creek
Saturday.
The usual week of prayer for
state missions will be held at the
church every evening at 4 o’clock
from Oct. 7 to 11th. The
next aid day will fall on Tuesday
of that week, so we wiHomitour
regular Bible lesson and have a
short business meeting, after
which Mrs. Browning will have
charge of the prayer service.
Mrs. Key being absent, Mrs.
Andrew aeted as secretary.
The following members were-
present: Mesdames Irwin, Har-
ris, Brown, Abney, Martin, Rip-
py, Williamson, Browning, An-
drew, Ozburn, Colbert, Senter-
fitt. . xx
Those interested in the study
of expression will please see Mrs.

Travel is light on the railroads,
most of the visitors who were
away for the summer having re-
turned, and very few of tlie bus-
iness people having time to visit
at this season of the year. The
camping grounds-at the springs
are vacated and but for the mar-
keting of the cotton and hay
crops there would be little doing.
Claud Landrum who has spent
the summer with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Landrum, left
Tuesday for Austin, where he
will again pursue his studies at
the institute for the deaf and
dumb; He is making a good rec-
ord, both as to conduct aftd to
progress in his work,' and his
parents are pleased with his work
there.
Mrs. John Kirschvink has gone
to Temple to be with her husband
who is in one of the hospitals
there. Mr. Kirschvink had to
submit to an additional operation
and has been quite ill since his
return to Temple, but is reported
as'being somewhat improved at
this time.
Col. J. J. Peacock, of Tow Val-
ley, was here this week with cot-
ton, he and his neighbors bring-
ing twenty-two bales, after hav-
ing tried and discussed the sur-
rounding markets. They real-
ized 11.30 for their product, sell-
ing all together. Mr. Peacock
does most of his marketing here,
but this time brought his neigh-
bors with him. Glad to see him
show his friendship for Lampa-
sas.;-;/
Presbyterian Aid.
Members of the Presbyterian
Aid Society held their regular
semi-monthly meeting Tuesday
afternoon with Mrs. Marshall
Wells.
The meeting was called to or-
der the president, Mrs. Fairbolt,
and further conducted by Miss
Myra Blair, who was leader for
the afternoon. After a prayer.
Miss Blair distributed questions
on the VII chapter of Acts. The
lesson having been well prepared
by all, was freely and thoroughly
discussed, and Miss Blair proved
herself a most competent leader.
Many points ' of interest to the
society were discussed. After
adjournment some time was
spent in a‘ social way. Fruit
punch and cakes were served by
the hostess.
The ladies will greatly miss
their faithful member, Mrs. Kate
Knight, and trust her absence
from their midst will be of short
duration.
Those present were Mesdames
Flazer, Taylor, Senterfitt, Mc-
Cauley, Knight, Fox, Fairbolt,
Clack, M. R. Higdon, Thomas,
Wells, and Miss Blair. X
Christian Aid.
Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 Mrs.
Yates entertained the Ladies Aid
of the Christian church. The
meeting opened with a song, fol-
lowed by a number of sentence
prayers.
Mrs. Word Smith led the scrip-
ture lesson which was Gal. 1st
and 2nd chapters. Each mem-
ber had been furnished a list of
questions on the'lesson which
proved very interesting. At the
close of the devotional exercises
all stood and repeated the Lord’s
prayer in concert.
A lengthy business session fol-
lowed. Among other deeds of
charity which our Aid is doing, a
family had been reported in des-
titute circumstances, who were
camping in or near our town.
The appeal met with a hearty
response. Food and clothing were
sent them by the good ladies
which made sad and unfortunate
hearts glad.
It was a pleasure to have Sister
Bledsoe with us and to welcome
her as a new member.
Our hostess, assisted by her
daughter, Fay, and Edwina
Hooker, served delicious cake
and cream to the following mem-
bers, Mesdames Little, Walker,
Mace, Word, Valliant, Miller, S.
J. Smith, Patterson, Sihgletary,
Stewart, Word Smith, Hooker,

F. C. Roy, of the Topsey sec-
tion, was here Tuesday . He is a
young man who intends to secure
a home of his own and become
independent of landlords,; and
that is the determination for the
young man and the young woman
to have, and always leads to suc-
cess when they co-operate. Suc-
cess to you, young man.
