METHODIST LADIES ENTER-
TAIN AT SILVER TEA
The ladies of the Methodist Church
entertained on Wednesday afternoon
with a Thanksgiving tea from the
hours of 3 to 6 at the parsonage.
Bx-o. J. O. Whitaker and Mrs. Whit-
aker greeted the guests in the living
room. Seasonal flowers were arrang-
ed in baskets and vases throughout
the rooms where the guests mingled
in pleasant conversation.
A program under the supervision
of Mrs. J. R. Key, consisted of a
group of readings by Mrs. B. C.
Greenwood, choruses by the high
school choral club, directed by Miss
Helen Northihgton, and a reading
by little Miss Maclyn Stevenson.
Mesdames M. Y. Stokes, W. F.
Mace, J. W. Ellis and J. R. Key
poured tea at different hours. The
tea table with its silver services was
centered with a huge striped curshaw,
in which were clustered yellow, or-
ange and red chrysanthemums. Group-
ed around this were different fruits
and sprays of ornamental pepper
with its yellow and red fruit and
green foliage.
Assisting in serving were Mes-
dames Emmett Shanks, H. E. Steven-
son, Edgar Smith Jr., Worth Har-
man, Weldon Cloud, Brown Mayes,
Dennis Black Jr., and Campbell Seale.
Mesdames f. F. Gilbert, Oscar Bold-
ing, Jack Campbell Jr., and W. D.
Florence were in charge of the trays.
Others assisting in entertaining
were: Mesdames W. A. Berry, George
Culver, M. M. Landrum, D. T. Briggs,
Charles Stokes, Helen Wolf and H. J.
Abney.
Over one hundred ladies called
during the afternoon.
It was stated in this paper re-
cently that a special sermon would
be delivex-ed at the Episcopal Chui’ch
Sunday, Dec. 2, by Rev. Wentworth
A. Riemann for the Lampasas foot-
ball squad. It should have been
stated that the sex-mon would be Sun-
day, Dec. 9, which is the second Sun-
day in the month.
MAIL BOX INSTALLED FOR
CONVENIENCE AT POSTOFFICE i
A mail box has been installed at
the curb of the postoffice for the con-
venience of the public. All letters
placed in the box will be handled
just as if they were mailed in the
office. This makes it very conven-
ient for those who might not wish to
go into the building to mail letters.
The clerks in the office will handle
mail from that box just as though it
had been placed in the letter box in-
side the office.
An error, which we regret very
mxxch occurred in this paper Fi-iday
in giving the names of the surviving
children of Mrs. John LaBounty. The
names should have been: Mrs. J. R.
Patterson of Topsey, Mrs. Ethel Al-
lan, W. E. LaBounty, George La-
Bounty and C. I. LaBounty of Lam-
pasas, and J. A. LaBounty of Fort
Worth.
J. W. Roper of Dallas is a guest
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geox-ge
Gartman. He is Mrs. Gartman’s fa-
ther.
— and Father
did the Washing Once
This incident was told of a local man, in a local home.
The laundress failed to show up—his wife wavs in-
disposed—something simply had to be done about the
washing, so he decided he’d be the laundress himself.
For an hour he sloshed and lifted and lugged—and
then he called us. His hour in the cellar convinced
him hut washing was no work for a man—certainly
not' for a woman.
You’ll find our laundry labor-saving too, and in ad-
dition, you’ll find it economical and clothes conserving.
Phone for our representative today and Rave him ex-
plain our many helpful services.

A CORRECTION
COURT HOLDS KIDNAP
LAW TO BE VALID
DENVER, Nov. 30.—An appellate
court sharpened the teeth of the
Lindbergh law today, with a decision
that sealed a sentence of life im-
prisonment for Harvey Baley, ma-
chine gun kidnaper now in Alcatraz
federal prison.
Constitutionality of the Lindbergh
kidnap law, the government’s strong-
est weapon against kidnaping, was
upheld in one brief sentence: “To pro-
hibit the use of the channels of in-
terstate commerce to facilitate the
cx’irne of kidnaping is clearly within
the power of congress.”
The decision, handed down in the
10th cix-cuit court of appeals, marked
the first time axx appellate court has
passed upon the law.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our apprecia-
tion of the kindness shown us by
neighbox-s and friends during the ill-
ness and at the time of the passing
away of our dear mother and grand-
mother, Mrs. John LaBounty. We
also appreciate the beautiful floral
offerrhgs.

The Woman’s Missionary society
held its last business session of 1934
Tuesday afternoon, with Mrs. C. C.
Abney as hostess, and Mrs. J. F. Gil-
bert leader of the devotional exer-
cises. The editorials from the Woxdd
Outlook were given by Mrs. W. A.
Bex-ry, in which she portrayed the
life of Dean Tillett of Vanderbilt
univei’sity, who has had the Christian
training of young men for fifty
years. The poem written by himself
on his eighty-second birthday was in-
spiring as well as it was good poetry.
Interesting minutes of previous meet-
ings were read by the secretax-y.
Committees were appointed for the
harvest day silver tea at Mrs. J. R.
Key’s on Dec. 4, and for the social
meeting with Mrs. M. Y. Stokes as
hostess on Dec. 11. The correspond-
ing secretary was requested to order
Year Books now> and th^ Year Book

ing reports wex-e given by the offi-
cers. The local superintendent re-
ported work planned for the parson-
age.
The society decided to postpone its
next rummage sale until after Christ-
mas. Following a prayer for guid-
ance by the president, the report of

sented, and the following ladies were

On last Tuesday, Nov. 27, Mrs.
J. C. Tolman of Houston visited the
local Episcopal Church and was the
speakex- at two meetings on that
day. Mrs. Tolman repxesents the
department of x-eligious education in
the Diocese of Texas.
In the afternoon at 3 o’clock, the
Ladies’ Guild and Auxiliary met at
the home of Mrs. A. L. Higdon. Az
this meeting Mrs. Tolman spoke con-
cerning the women’s work for the
coming year of 1935. She proposed
several courses of study for the year-,
among them a course on modern
Japan which will be used in the
spring. Mrs. Tolman also empha-
sized the need of a definite devotional
px-ogram at every meeting; meetings
lose their value when the details of
business consume all the time. Mrs.
Higdon, as president of the Guild
and Auxiliary, presided at this af-
ternoon meeting and closed it with a
talk in regard to the work of the
coming year.
In the evening all of the members
of the church met at the home of
Mrs. S. J. Campbell-Scott for an in-
formal parish gathering. During the
evening there was a short program
in which was presented an outline of
the church’s work in the community,
the Diocese, and the world. The rec-
tor explained the need of Christian
leadership in the community today
in such fields as adult religious edu- i
cation, social service and young peo- j
pies’ and students’ activities. Clem- J
entine Abney told of the work at j
Camp Allen which she attended last;
summer. This camp is one of the
projects of the Diocese of Texas in
the advancement of Christianity to- j
day; thex-e are five camp sessions each |
summer, two for girls, two for boys, j
and one for adults. Camp Allen is s
on the bay near Houston. Mrs. Tol-
man spoke of the general missionary
wox-k of the chui-ch in Mexico, Japan,
India, China and among the Indians
of New Mexico and Arizona; she has
been in personal touch with much
of this work throug*h her long ser-
vice in the Diocese of Texas and on
the national council of the Episco-
pal Church in New York.
While in Lampasas Mrs. Tolman
•was at the home of Mrs. J. F. White.
Fx*om Lampasas Mrs. Tolman went
to Belton and Temple where she ad-
dressed the members of the Episco-
pal churches in those places.
