They Doi(t Take It
Down
In every country town there is a sign
at the railroad crossing like this:
Now, everybody in that town knew it
was a railroad crossing the day the track
was laid. When the sign was put up it
took two days--not longer--for every in-
habitant to become familiar with it. In a
week even the small children could read
and spell it backward. Did the railroad
take it down? No. If they had the warn-
ing would have been forgotten in a week
and smash-up and damage suits would
have resulted. Transient advertisements
act the same way. You must keep ever-
lastingly at it, like the railroad crossing
sign.--Eli Grocer.

A Civic Awakening.
There are men—and institu-
tions—that, on instinct, rage
against every step taken toward
civilization that is taken by the
community in which they live.
People who go forward looking
backward—bili o u s p e o p 1 e—
whose grouches may or may not
be hereditary, but is constant,
people who resent the birth of a
newidea, or the entrance of a
new custom, however, useful it
may be,
Lampasas is grateful indeed
that none of the above kind of
people claim its citizenship for if
there is a people progressive in
all direction, educational, moral
and physical, it is the people of
Lampasas. A people who have
felt a great awakening of civic
pride, and who hail with keen
appreciation and joy new cus-
toms that promise to be uplifting
and helpful in their influence.
Hence the observance of Arbor
Day next Tuesday by the civic
auxiliary, is attracting much in-
terest and attention from the
public. The program committee,
Mesdames Mace and Greenwood
and Misses Markward and Ad-
kins is planning a splendid
program for that day, and the
entire public is invited to attend
the exercises at 3:30 p. m., at
school house next Tuesday. XX
Mrs. Martin and son, of Bryan,

Mrs. B. F. Wiley.

cheted pin cushion tied with
ribbon. The refreshments were:
Chicken salad on water cress,
nut bread sandwiches, pickles,
reception wafers, apricot ice.
Col. J. E. Morgan again an-
nounces as a candidate for the
office of county clerk, a position
which he has held for the past
sixteen years, and one where he

the people. Polished in manner,
accustomed to meet men in all
grades of life and above all of
being familiar with all the work
and records of the office, he be-
lieves he can continue to fill the
office to the satisfaction of the
people, and asks your vote and
influence.

The announcement of W. H,
Simmons as a candidate for re-
election to the office of commis-
sioner of precinct No. 1, ap-
pears in the proper column. Mr.
Simmons has made a good record,

on the meetings of the court,
faithful in his supervision of
claims against the county funds,
progressive in all his views of
the business of the people, and
aggressive in road work and
supervision. Through his di-
rection and under his manage-
ment the public square has been
made a place of beauty and the
roads of this precinct have been
wonderfully . improved. Taking
his record as his recommenda-
tion, he asks your consideration
of his claims upon your vote for
re-election.

What is to hinder the farmers
in our county having a trades
day in Lampasas once a month?
Can’t they have it the same day
the farmers institute meet? If
they have cows, horses, mules or
hogs for sale, it would be a good
time to get together. What do
you say about it, Mr. Editor?
You are always interested in ev-
erything that is good for your
town or county.
[They have such a meeting the
first Monday in each month, in
which all may join. This editor
hopes no meeting of a public
character will be held on thefsame
day as the Farmers Institute,
which we regard as one of the
most important meetings of the
county.—Editor. ]|
