The Lampasas fair.
It is only a few days now un-
til the opening of the Lampasas
County Fair, and all the people
should get ready to attend. The
attractions will not be as great
nor as extensive as some of the
state fairs, nor as the world fairs
held from time to time in various
parts of the United States, but
that it will be a good fair for
Lampasas county The Leader
does not hesitate to assert.
The racing attractions will be
splendid, there being now already
a number of horses in training
on the grounds, and the track
being in excellent condition,
probably as good a track in every
respect as can be found in the
state. The grounds have been
walled in, and a large number of
stalls have been prepared for
taking care of the horses, cattle,
sheep and other stock which may
be brought in for exhibition or
testing speed.
There are good premiums-of-
fered in the agricultural depart-
ment, and the farmers ought to
take sufficient interest in the fair
to see that every department is
well supplied with good exhibits.
Corn, wheat, oats, melons, pota-
toes, onions, tomatoes, cotton and
various other vegetable products
ought to be ready to enter and
placed so as to attract the atten-
tion of visitors as well as home
people.
There will be a department for
the ladies which will cover all
their “work from the kitchen to
the finest embroidery work, and
those who contest in the several
departments under the control of
the ladies will have opportunity
of getting valuable cash prizes
for their efforts. Art, fancy work,
flowers, culinary, etc., have not
been neglected, and all will have
some exhibitions, for which lib -
beral premiums are offered.
There wilFalso be a baby show,
and on the 7th of August there
will be an old £ fiddler’s contest,
which ought to* bring out a good
crowd.
With nearly two thousand dol-
lars in premiums and purses for’
the races, and liberal prizes in
all other departments there ought
to be a great fair at Lampasas
August 6, 7 and 8. Get ready
to attend, and bring any thing
you may have worthy of exhibi-
tion. It will all help to make up
a complete whole.

Mrs. A. V. Thomas reports a
novelty in the way of production
from a certain peach tree at her
home. In the early part of the
year it showed fruit, which grew
to a email size and fell off. Later
a fairly good crop of the average
size was produced, and now there
is still another crop on the tree,
a sample of which was shown at
this office, but they do not seem
to promise much in the way of
good fruit.
J. P. Word and wife, Whit-
throne Wheeler and wife, Mr.
Wheeler’s brother, Miss Elaine
Webber, Miss Lula Smith, John
Blair and family, and possibly
others, made up a fishing and
camping party which left for the
Colorado river to be gone a week
or ten days. They did not give
their exact route or the place
where they intended to locate, as
they are out for quite a time and
do not desire to be disturbed.
People may expect some tall fish
stories when this party returns.

balloon met with an accident,
and so far has not been repaired
so that it is safe to make an as-

There has been considerable
discussion recently about exclud-
ing consumptives from Texas,
and now it is stated that the gov-
ernor favors such a measure, and
that it is possible he may make a
proclamation against this disease
the same as is made against yel-
low fever and other contagious
diseases, among other things
making it a finable offense for, the
railroads to carry persons who
may be afflicted with such dis-
ease.

that the crops are splendid in his
