of baseball by league teams here
during the present ball season.
Other towns joining in this en-
terprise are Belton, Temple, Tay-

anteed in addition to the local
stock subscribed for.the purpose
of getting up the grounds, grand-
stand and arranging for the
games. Lampasas will be on the
map all summer and if baseball
be worth anything to a place we
should get the full benefit of the
best there is. H. Hoffmann, A.
L. Higdon and a number of
others who are enthusiasts for
such sport deserve the credit for
getting Lampasas into this six-

grounds will be located or how
soon the regular games will be-
gin, is not yet known, but it is
certain that ball will be the chief
amusement for the summer.

Air Casth
Air castles are like the Irishman’s idea about
riding in an air ship. He said: “Begorra, 1 don’t
care how high they go wid me so long as 1 keep
one foot on the ground.”
It’s the same with building your castles in the
air. When tempted by big dividends and get-rich-
quick investments, keep one foot on the ground—
both would be better. Standing at the gateway
between air castles and slow but sure investments,
stick to the good old mother earth. Until you do
invest, your money will be safe in our bank.

Marriage Licenses.
The following marriage licenses
have been issued by the county
clerk since our last report:
W. S. Medders and Mrs. L. E.
Cruse; Ben Person and Miss
Lena Wall; L. E. Morris and
Mrs. Mary Waldrip.
The half block of land on the
north side of Third Street, just
east of the H. & T. C. transfer
track, has been entirely cleared
of the old houses, sheds and
ether riibbish, and the Cameron
lumber yard wilt ho opened.there
in the near future. Tne o<*rnpany
has purchased this property, and
will move part of their sheds and
other buildings to it, and that
will be the future place of busi-
ness. While the tendency of the
business part of the city seems to
be towards the east, there is yet
some excellent property in all
parts of the city, and the judg-
ment of The Leader is that it is
all priced too low.
The rain was about the same at
Nix, Lometa, Kempner and Lake
Victor as at this place, but it did
not.reaoh Briggs, Burnet county,
and it is supposed the country is
still dry from that point south-
ward. Rain was much needed
in the Lometa country, as well as
south of Lampasas, but nothing
was suffering at this place. The
rain, however, will do good here.
