things for the paper, all of which
is appreciated.

place, was quite ill.
The fruit is not all killed.
There will be peaches, pears,
plums and plenty of berries. Justj
as well have the cans and jars;
ready. It is a rare thing when
things fail in Lampasas county.
The prospect is good for a
splendid oat crop, and it is re-
gretted that so little of this grain
was sown by the farmers. Wheat
also looks well, and the corn
which was not entirely killed by
the frost is coming along nicely.

Monday and called pleasantly at
The Leader office, making all
hands feel good by his visit.
Thanks, brother.
W, T. Campbell is Dead.
News came at 2:30 o’clock to-
day (Thursday) that W.T. Camp-
bell had died at the residence of
his son-in-law, William Abbey,
at Houston at noon. The news
was a sudden and unexpected
shock to his many friends here,
as messages received this morn-
ing stated that he was decidedly
better than he had bsen for some
days.
The cause of his death was
blood poison, said to have been
developed from a scratch receiv-
ed on the railroad train between
Houston and Austin, when ac-
companying Miss Ima Hogg to
Austin to attend the funeral of
her father a few weeks ago. He
had been reported as ill some
days ago, and Mrs. Campbell,
Miss Sadie and W. T. Campbell,
| jr., had been with him since
early this week, and Villard, the
older son, went to Houston yes-
terday morning.
W. T. Campbell was by no
means an ordinary man. He
had great ideas, and the mental
and physical force to put his
conceptions into practical opera-
tion. It is stated of him that he
left England when but a boy,
and came to America to seek his
fortune. He learned the trade
of the printer, and made a suc-
cess in that line of business in
Indiana, where he made his home
until about twenty years ago.
Coming to Lampasas on a visit
in 1888, he was solicited to es-
tablish a paper here, and having
been fgiven such assurance of
support as he thought would jus-
tify him in making a business
venture of that kind here, he
established the Leader, and sue *
cessfully conducted it until he
sold it to other parties. Finding
so many opportunities here for
investment, he took hold of the
realty business, and soon became
one of the leading owners of city
real estate in this section.
When the oil excitement came
on at Beaumont, he was one of
first to visit that field and his in-
vestments there as elsewhere
proved a great success. As the
Spindletop field began to decay,
he invested, at Batson, Humble
and other points, and nearly if
not all of these were also success-
ful. He was a member of the
Texas Company snd belonged to
what was known as the Hogg-
Swayne Syndicate. From a poor
boy to a man of great wealth he
developed in a very short and use
ful life, being cut down when but
in his prime.
Mr. Campbell was a member of
the Episcopal Church, together
with his family, and many deeds
of kindness have been credited to
him in the world beyond of which
none save a select few here know
anything. The writer has known
of some of these acts, and feels
yet bound in a measure to secrecy
concerning them, as he made no
ostentatious display of what he
did for any one.
The sympathetic hearts of the
people of Lampasas go out to Mrs.
Campbell and all the children in
their sore bereavement, and all
sorrow with them.
It is not known where the body
will be buried, but it is supposed
that it will be brought here for
interment.
