W. H. Cameron had a rat kill-
ing at his barn on Mesquite creek
Wednesday, resulting in the
death ^of 172 rats before the day
was over. He had the assistance
of several neighbors and a num-
ber of small dogs in completing
this good work, and after all
about thirty rats got away. Rats
and fleas are said to be respon-
sible for the spread of the disease
known as bubonic pleague, and
these rodents should be killed out
of all the country.
A Patriotic Show Window.
J. L. Bauman* advertisement
writer, decorator -and general
utility man at the Higdon-Sen-
terfitt store, has dressed a win-
dow to show some historic events
and flags of the nation, all with"'
out reference to the sale of goods
by the house. Pictures of George
and Martha Washington adorn
the first scene, and pictures of
Lee and his generals, a Confed-
erate flag and a Confederate bill,
tend to show the southern feat-
ure, without which it would not
be complete.
Flags of varied periods of the
United States are shown, begin-
ning as early as 1774, and on to
1777, when the official flag of the
nation as then constituted is
shown. Cards conspicuously
placed tell of the origin and date
of these national emblems. A
number of shields and other de-
signs of national interest are
shown in the window, which is
an indication of the" patriotism of
the window dresser, all these de-
signs being his own work with
brush and board. It is a unique
conception, and worthy of study.
See it.
Mrs. Mattie Cox, now an active
city missionary of the Baptiat
church, working in San Antonio,
is here for a visit of a few days
with her father, R. F. Farmer, of
the Izoro neighborhood.
Bridge Bond Election July 18.
While the candidates for gov-
ernor are switching around the
circle, and all the local candi-
dates are busy looking after their
interests in the coming primary,
July 25th, it should be remem-
bered that there is an election to
be held in this county on the 18th
of July which is of more impor-
tance, locally, than the election
of a governor for the great state
of Texas.
By proclamation the commis
sioners court has submitted the
q uestion as to whether the peo-
ple will vote for the issuance of
bonds in the sum of $14,000 to
build four bridges in the county
at several points where they are

Navy Goes Dry.
Washington, July 1.—Secreta-
ry Daniels’ famous order banish-
ing intoxicants from the navy
went into effect today. It not
only abolishes the traditional
“wine mess” of the officers, but
bars all alcoholic liquors from
every ship and shore station of
the navy.
Beginning today, any officer
found in possession of alcoholic
liquor on board ship or at any
naval station, will be guilty of
misconduct. Commanding offi-
cers will be held directly respon-
sible for the enforcement of the
“dry edict.”

much needed. Probably at three
of these places concrete bridges,
such as that constructed at the
Jones branch crossing on the
Llano road, would answer even
better than iron and wood
structures, but the bridge across
the Lampasas river near Kemp-
ner, must be of the suspension
pattern, and high enough to be
out of danger in time of high
water.
The Leader believes in public
improvement and has nothing
but commendation for the court
which has done so much of this
kind of work during the past
eight or ten years, but there is
yet much to be done.” As fre-
quently remarked, a road is no
better than its worst place, and
the places where the people have
asked for these bridges are said
to be almost impassable in times
of bad weather, and it is through
their petions that this election
has been ordered.
Those who are interested
should see that there is a full
vote polled Saturday, July 18th,
and get all to vote for the issu-
ance of bonds who will, as fail-
ure'would result fatally to all the
places seeking relief from these
bad crossings, which the county
is abundantly able to remedy.
Do not let the fact that there
is an election to be held on the
following Saturday, deter you
from going to the polls Saturday,
July 18th, and casting your vote
“For the Issuance of Bonds.”
The bridges are needed, and
this is the only way they can be
secured.

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: “I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
I tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should bo
kept in every family chest.
