so sure in ultimate results as the

Jordan Everett celebrated his
eightieth birthday Sunday at his
lome 15 miles south of Lampa-
3as, there being 11 of the 12 chil-
Iren present, and 47 descendants
ill told at the dinner. A great
[time was enjoyed, and the asso-
ciation was pleasant and profita-
)le to all. Such re-unions tend
|to cement affection and love, and
ire good for those who can at-
tend them. The old gentleman
is yet hale and hearty and may
live for a number of years, hav-
ing had some eye trouble but
itherwise has always enjoyed
rood health.
Rev. Z. V. Liles is at home

Mrs. Harrison Miller, mother
of Fernando, Zeno and Webster
Miller, Mrs. Stinnett, of Gates-
ville, and Mrs. Saylor of Gold-
thwaite, died at San Saba, at the
home of her son, Webster Miller,
Saturday, and the body was
brought through the country Sat-
urday night to this place to the
home of her son, Fernando, and
was tenderly laid to rest Sunday
afternoon, a large number of
friends attending the service.
Mrs. Miller was among the
pioneers of this section, she and
her husband having settled in
this county in its early history,
and for many years Mr. Miller
was the county surveyor of this
county. They were of the repre-
sentatives of the better class of
the older settlers, now nearly all
having passed away, but their
memory lingers and they are
kindly thought of by all who
knew the hardships and perils
which they endured when this
country was in its formative
state.
Mrs. Miller and all her family
were strictly religious and moral
people, being members of the
Presbyterian church and held to
the doctrines so strenuously be-
lieved by that denomination.
Mrs. Miller was 77 years of age
at the time of her death. Many
friends sympathize with the be-
reaved sons and daughters.

Misses Mary Scott, Willie Ber-
ry and Zoe Vernor have gone to
San Marcos where they will
spend the next eight weeks in the
state normal school. Misses
Alice Eads and Annie Mae Earn-
est, both of whom have taught
in Lampasas, will also be in at-
tendance there. Prof. G. D.
Scott will be a “looker on” there
for a time, after which he will
probably spend a time at the
University normal. He is al-
ways looking for good ideas and
uses them in his work.
T. M. McGehee, Misses Alta
Fullwood, Elnora and Julia
Wykes are among the attend
ants at the San Marcos summer

were also two other young men
in the crowd, but The Leader
failed to get their names.

Townsen & Lamb.
A telegram received here Mon-
day morning announced that
Clarence Weeks had been shot at
his home, Reuben, Mississippi,
and that he had died from the
effects of the wound. Mrs. J. C.
Ramsey and Mrs. Hosea Bailey
and little babe left at once for
the old home, the young man be-
ing their brother.
An imaginary shipment is
passing over the Santa Fe rail-
way from Houston to some point
in California and return, with re
quest that each agent where it
stops put a “sig” upon it and
send on. It was at the Santa Fe
depot here Monday, and measur-
ed 12 feet in length, and had nu-
merous designs upon it as well
as signatures from each station
where it stopped. It was dec-
orated with local scenes here,
and will go to Temple, Milano,
Cameron, Bellville Junction and
on into Houston. Probably it
will be 15 feet in length when it
returns to Houston. It is suppos-
ed to be a box car filled with per-
ishables, but there is no car, the
entire billing being imaginary.
Melmoth Stokes is here from
Georgetown and will probably
remain for some days. He took
second honor at the Southwest-
ern University, and is the editor
of the annual issued by the grad-
uating class, and has been su-
perintending the publication of
this book for some time, having
finished his work in the school
studies some months ago.
School is out and the children
are having a great time, some of
the larger ones being already off
to the Colorado to fish, hunt and
romp for a week, while others
are enjoying themselves in vari-
ous ways at home. They have
already forgotten that there is
such a thing as lessons, but their
memories will return when
school opens again.
At The Sunday Schools.
Baptist attendance 157, collec-
tion $16.98; Methodist attendance
202, collection $7.10; Chris-
tian attendance 185, collection

attendance 33, collection 25c.
Rev. T, G. Alfred, pastor of
First Baptist church, preached
at the Methodist church Sunday
morning, taking as his text “Ye
are witnesses of these things,”
and from this text gave an ex-
cellent sermon, showing that
testimony was the most impor-
tant thing in courts as well as in
every day life. His sermon was
largely seasoned with quotations
from The Book, and the dis-
course was greatly enjoyed.
News has been received here
of the death of Mrs. E. R. Dildy
at Gatesville, her death having
occurred some days ago. She
was the mother of Dr. Joe E. Dil-
dy, and had visited him at this
place one or more times. She
had reached a ripe old age and
was ready for the summons to a
better world.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Higdon,
Edgar Reed and the noted col-
ored cook and camp minder,
Wade Reed, are on the Colorado
river this week, and will enter-
tain quite a party from San An-
tonio there during the week.
Among this party will be Judge
Davis, county judge of Bexar
county, and members of his fam-
ily and others from the big city.
They will all probably be here at
the good roads meeting Saturday.
Agreed on One Point.
Hokus—Toothache, eh? I’d have
the blamed thing pulled if it were
mine. Pokus—So would I, If it were
yours.
His Labor Doubled.
Kostrov, a Russian poet, labored for
years translating Homer’s “Iliad” into
his language and the highest offer he
received for it was $35, which dis-
couraged him so much that he threw
the manuscript into the fire. After-
wards when he was famous in his own
country he did the job all over again.
Royalty of Virtue.
If there be no nobility of descent
all the more Indispensable 1b it thal
there should be nobility of ascent—t
character in them that bear rule so
fine and high and pure that as men
come within the circle of its lntfuenct
they involuntarily pay homage to thal
which is the one pre-eminent distinc-
tion, the royalty of virtue.—Bishop
Henry C. Potter..
