Mrs. W. J. Redmond, of Brown-

vantage of attending the South-
western university. She grad-
uated at the Lampasas high
school at the close of the last ses-
sion.

A Story
M. G. Northingtdn, one of the
best farmers of the county, was
among the pleasant callers on
The Leader. Owning some of
the finest river land as well as
abundant pasture, he' should
prosper and have every comfort,
as indeed he has nearly every-
where about him, with many of
the modern conveniences on the
farm. Very few are better fixed
that he and he knows how to use
his land and stock to the best ad-
vantage.
Mr. Jones was a successful busi-
ness man, had a big store and a
nice home and out of debt, ex-
cept a small mortgage on the
home. He went to bed one night,
happy and prosperous—the wind
came up in the night with a roar \
and leveled his property to the
ground, scattering it over the
surrounding country and crip-
pled Mr. Jones for life. The
mortgage took the lot, leaving
Mr. Jones penniless. He had
both fire and life insurance, but
had neglected to secure Tornado
aud Accident insurance.

J. A. Shepherd, who lives two
or three miles out, was among
callers on The Leader. He has
been like some others, a sufferer
from rheumatic trouble, and his
friends will be pleased to know
that there has been recent im-
provement.

| A Warning
Three things they say you can’t safely do-
fool with the tail of a cyclone, tickle the heels of
a mule nor monkey with a gun that isn’t loaded.
Permit us to add a fourth. You can’t make much
of a success of life without forming a saving habit.
Just a little saved from your earnings, a little
each week, each month, carefully deposited with
a good hank like ours, will amount to something
at the end of the year. It may seem mighty slow
at the start, but in time you will thank your lucky
stars that you started. Right now is the time to
begin, not next month. %

Willie Haynie, LaRue McFar-
land and A. J. Mackey are
among the former students of-the
State University who will again
attend that institution. They are
young men capable of making
their way in the world in any
profession- which they may
choose, and The Leader wishes
them success.
Miss Ruth Dildy has gone to
Baylor Female college, Belton,
where she will attend school dur-
ing the current term. She has
made a good record in the Lam-
pasas high school and will keep
up with the best of them at Bay-
lor. Dr. Dildy went with her,
but will be at home tonight.
The former home of Dr. R. O.
Smith has been purchased by
Arthur Frazer and he has had
the old residence torn down and
will erect a modern one upon the
place where the old one formerly
stood. The Leader is much
pleased to see the young men of
Lampasas securing homes of
their own and hopes others will
follow the example of this young
man. The man with a home is a
permanent and useful citizen,
while the one without a home is
liable to live1 in some other part
of the country next year, or even
next week. Get a home and stay
with it.
Clarence Nichols, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. B. Nichols, has
gone to Austin where he will
spend at least one year in the
State University preparatory to
entering the state medical school
at Galveston. The young m^n
is a graduate of the Lampasas
high school and has shown his
ability to learn what is required^
His friends will join his father
and mother in the hope that he
may grow into one of the leading
medical' men of Texas.
D. A. Holley, now living near
Adamsville, was here Tuesday.
He has recently been sick at his
home, and this is his first visit to
Lampasas in more than three
months. He formerly served
this county as custodian of its
funds, and made a faithful offi-
cial.
T. J. Criswell, of the Ogle sec-
tion, was here Monday and made
The Leader a pleasant call. He
reports that Mr. Boyd, who has
kept the postoffice there for sev-
eral years will probably give up
the position, and fear is express-
ed that the postoffice may be dis-
continued, though some patriot
will probably be found who will
take charge of it. A small store
has been run in connection with
the office, and the two should be
made to pay.
Mrs. J. W. Landrum has re-
turned home from a trip to Bish-
op, California, where she spent
some time with her sister and
two sons, all of whom are making
their homes there. She also vis-
ited the coast and saw the great
Pacific ocean, as well as some of
the mining districts, the hot
springs, and many other places
of interest. The climate in that
part of the world is cold all the
year round, that is temperate,
there never being any great heat
during the day. Fruits are
abundant and wages good. Mrs.
Landrum brought home a num-
ber of interesting pictures of
scenes where she visited. She
was gone two months and en-
joyed every hour of her stay
away from home, having visited
relatives at El Paso and Coleman
on her return.
It Removes the Morning Dullness.
Denison’s Coffees give vim,
vigor, vitality, strength and a
good spirit with which to begin
the day. Good at/ioon, and at
any other hour. Settles itself,
and always is the same. Try it.
Your neighbors are already using
it. We are sole agents in Lam-
pasas.

Dispatches report that forty
federal Mexican soldiers and ten
passengers were instantly killed
in the blowing up of a passenger
train some miles south of Saltillo
Friday of last week. The cars
were blown to pieces. The train
was looted and the surviving
passengers robbed. While the
crime will be charged to the reb-
el forces, they will paobably say
it was the work of bandits.
Last San Jacinto Yeteran Dead.
W. P. Zuber diecj at Austin
Monday evening at the advanced
age of 93 years. He was one of
the heroes of the battle at San
Jacinto when the army of Santa
Ana was captured and routed,
but was not a participant in the
battle, having been left to guard
the sick and camp supplies. He
was also an ex-Confederate and
for several years served as a
guide about^the capitol at Aus-
tin. He had partly finished the
writing of a book. with the title
of “Eighty Years in Texas,” and
it is said this book will be printed
in its unfinished shape.
“Hello, Jell! I noticed you in Bar-
bers’ Hollow today. Guess that ac-
counts for that stylish haircut and
that smooth shave.” “Now you’re
talking, Mutt! When you want the
best work, go to the middle shop. It’s
an oasis in the desert. You can always
tell the Lone Star customer, for he has
the smile that wont come off.”
