Suffered So She Couldn’t Use Arm
At Times—Tanlac Relieves
Trouble.
If I had gotten hold of Tanlac twen-
ty years ago I would have been a hap-
pier and healthier woman, instead of
puffering like I did,” said Mrs. Kate
Wisdom, who formerly lived at Nor-
han, Okla., but now resides at Clovis,
Tew Mex.
“For twenty years,” she continued,
‘I had been a sufferer, off and on,
from indigestion, rheumatism and
other troubles. After eating any-
hing I would bloat up with gas that
kept me in misery, my heart would
eat like a trip-hammer and I would
et short of breath. I didn’t sleep at
11 well and would often have to sit
p in bed before I could breathe with
ny ease and by morning I would be
all fagged out. Rheumatism in my
rm and shoulders hurt me terribly
nd my joints would get so stiff I
could hardly use my arm at times.
‘Soon after beginning with Tanlac
my appetite improved and I can now
eat anything I want. I soon got rid
of that bloating and the pressure on
ply heart was relieved. I tried many
other medicines for my troubles, but
found no relief till I took Tanlac. I
am feeling all right and Tanlac has
been such a benefit to me that I have
told many others about it and they
say it is helping them too.”
Tanlac is sold in Lampasas by
Mackey & Ransom, and in Lometa by
A. L. Skaggs.—adv.
WISHES SHE’D GOT THE OIL SITUATION.
IT 20 YEARS AGO. The oil situation in Lampasas
county has greatly improved since the
last report and development is pro-
gressing very rapidly. Several wells
that have been closed down are start
ing up, and several new wells will be
drilling within the next two weeks.
The Boston-Lampasas is drilling at
about 350 feet with a first class
standard outfit.
The Western Lampasas is closed
down for a few days at 800 feet—
closed down for repairs on boiler.
The Waxha-Tex No. 1 is drilling at
between 700 and 800 feet.
Waxha-Tex No. 2 is drilling at 300
feet. Both of these wells are owned
and operated by a Waxahachie com-
pany.
The Howell is still closed down, but
they report that they will resume op
eration about the middle of March.
The Key, which has been elosed
down for the last six months, will re-
sume drilling within the next ten days
as parties are here now making the
necessary arrangements to get start-
ed off. This well is down about 360
feet.
The Texoleum Trust Co., which has
been closed down since April, has new
machinery up and operation has been
started. This well is down 800 feet.
No reports on the Smith well.
The Nelms-Marvin is st,ill closed
down for casing at 1100 feet.

JUDGE SPANN ENTERS
RACE FOR RE-ELECTION.
Belton, Tex., Feb. 24, 1920.
To the People of the 27th Judicial
District:
I had definitely determined and ac-
cordingly annonced that I would not
be a candidate to succeed myself as
District Judge.
However, since the matter has been
presented in the light of public duty I
have reconsidered, and hereby an-
nounce that I will be a candidate.

work will go on day and night.
With these three men, Messrs.
Mace, Rancier and White, behind the
proposition, this will be one of the
most interesting wells in the county,
as they have the reputation of push-
ing things through to a happy conclu-
sion in a business way.

BAD BACK TODAY?
The Teinart, 5 miles north of
Kempner, in the edge of Coryell coun-
ty, is drilling at about 3200 feet with
a strong showing of oil on each slush
that is baled out. This is causing
some excitement, and all kinds of wild
erroneous reports, but the indications
are more than favorable and pay oil
will very likely be struck within the
next teh days.
The Gocher, 1% miles south of the
above well, is down about 2650 feet.

I am profoundly grateful for the
many assurances of support and the
high esteem in which my administra-
tion of the District Court is held. The
chief compensation for a duty well
done is the appreciation of those
for whom the service is rendered.
If it be your will that I shall con-
tinue to be your District Judge, I
shall render you the best services of
which I am capable.

and makes you dull, nervous and
tired. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills for
weak kidneys—the remedy recom-
mended by your friends and neigh-
bors.
J. F. Robertson, Mgr. of Farmer
Warehouse, Lampasas, says: “About
four years ago I needed a kidney
remedy, and as Doan’s Kidney Pills
were fecommended to me, I decided
to give them a trial. I had been suf-
fering from a lame back. It hurt me
in the small of my back, just through
the region of my kidneys. The pain
was more severe when I was at my
work and at times, I could hardly
straighten up. I soon found Doan’s
Kidney Pills were bringing relief. I
kept on taking them, getting them at
Hoffmann’s Drug Store, and two
boxes gave me a cure. My back be-
came strong and my kidneys were
healthy. The benefit has lasted and
I give Doan’s Kidney Pills the credit.”

On May 22, 1919, Mr. Robertson
added: “I can always recommend

gave me has proved permanent. I
haven’t had the least return of kid-
ney complaint since.”

JUDGE SPANN CANDIDATE TO
SUCCEED HIMSELF AS DIS-
TRICT JUDGE.
The Leader is authorized to an-
nounce the candidacy of Judge F. M.
Spann to succeed himself as Judge
of the 27th Judicial District. Judge
Spann was first appointed Judge to
fill the unexpired term of Judge
Robison, and was then elected four
years ago to fill the place. He has
given his careful and prompt atten-
tion to all matters coming up in his
court and always tries to dispose of
cases as promptly as possible. Judge
Spann has rendered very efficient
service and for that reason his many
friends have requested-that he again
become a candidate for the office.
His candidacy is subject to the action | $300,000.00
of the Democratic primary election in
July and he will appreciate your vote
and influence. Judge Spann’s letter

Texas, at a cost of $5,000,000.00, .and
Governor Hobby is especially inter-

NEW OIL WELL FOR
COUNTY.
LAMPASAS
Miss Minnie Crawford went to Top-
sy Wednesday afternoon to visit her
sister, Mrs. Ed Harmon.
A new oil well company has been
organized with A. R. Mace as presi-
dent, Will Rancier, of Killeen, secre-
tary-treasurer, and Chas. H. White,
manager. The location of the well is
eight miles east of Lampasas on the
J. I. Votaw tract, near the mouth of
Mesquite creek, about two miles
west of Kempner. The company has
worth of stock, and the
material is being laid down on the
ground now and work will be pushed
forward with rapidity. The president,
A. R. Mace, says the rig is the biggest
in this part of the state. The drill
hole will be eighteen inches in diam-
eter, and the derrick will be eighty-
four feet high; the machinery is of
the very best, and the drillers have
experience and know how to get best
their future home.
Mrs. Walter Smith, of the Unity
neighborhood, and her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Carpenter, who have been
visiting in the Smith home, left
Thursday morning for Belton to be
with Arthur Carpenter, who had the
misfortune to get his hip broken. Mr.
and Mrs. Carpenter live at Maxdale,
and will return home after a visit
with the son who got hurt.
JUSTICES OF PEACE
CAN FINE SPEEDERS.
Austin, Feb. 23.—Justice of the
peace have “original concurrent ju-
risdiction” in all cases arising under
the criminal laws of this State in
which the punishment is by fine only,
and where tho maximum of such fine
may not exceed $200, except in cases
involving official misconduct, held the
Attorney .General’s department in an
opinion written by Assistant Attor-
ney General Clifford H. Stone, to R.
J. Windrow, State highway engineer.
The question arose over a commu-
nication received by the highway en-
gineer from O. J. S. Ellingson, city
maitager of Sherman, who advised
that the County Commissioners of
Grayson County have appointed a
motorcycle officer to enforce the traf-
fic laws, and in arresting offenders
this officer, Ellingson writes, insists
on filing the complaints in the justice
courts, while the city manager takes
the position that such complaints
should be filed in the corporation
court.
The opinion, as written by Assist-
ant Attorney General Stone, does not
