“Forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are be-
fore.” Those who were so for-
tunate as to hear the sermon last
night, based on the text*quoted,
were amply rewarded for any
sacrifice made to attend the serv-
ice. Rev. E. A. Hunter, pastor
of the Lometa Methodist church,
held the attention of the congre-
gation from the first word spoken
to the last word in a soul stirring
peroration. The singing through-
out the service was splendid.
Mr. Fisher phoned from Fort
Worth, late last night, that he
would leave on an early train
today for Lampasas. His wife
has been seriously ill. Bro
Hunter preached today at 10:00
a. m. There will be preaching
tonight at 7:30. Servioes through-
out the week at 10:00 a. m. and
7:30 p. m.
Everybody come, and let us
make this our meeting.

Mrs. J. S. Davitte, of Brown
wood, is a guest of her sister,
Mrs. A. W. Hoover.
We will show at Cozy three
nights a week—Thursday Friday
and Saturday—until further 'no-

Philathea class of the Methodist
Sunday school are requested to
mee.t promptly at 6:35 this even-
ing, in the Sunday school room
of the church.

^Preparedness
Is now being discussed by all people. The poli-
ticians draw a line on preparing for peace or
for war. The ministers preach it from the pul-
pit, the merchants discuss preparedness with
their customers; the farmers practice it in
seed selection and thorough cultivation.
“Preparedness” Really Means
To be ready to meet the emergency which may
arise, to be ready whatever may come. To do
this in the best way is to begin today to make
deposits in this bank, and continue until you
are properly prepared. Think it over.

Several of the pigeons which
have been alighting on the hands
of the courthouse clook have
been killed by members of the
Lampasas fire department, and
others will be killed as occasion
may offer. When the clock is
allowed to run at its normal rate
the time there is always oorreot,
but the weights or springs are
not of sufficient strength to carry
the machinery of the dock with
the additional weight of a pigeon
on one of the hands, hence the
face of the clock has indicated
inoorrect time frequently of late.
Theie is no protection of any
character over the several dials
or faces of the clook, and it is
said that should such covering
be placed the clock would soon
fail to indidate the time as the
covers of whatever material made
would soon accumulate so much
dust from the atmosphere that
the dials would not be visible.
The fire boys will keep after the
pigeons and it is hoped the clock
will continue to be the best time-
keeper in Texas.
FOUND—A hitch strap with
weight block attached. Describe
at this office and pay for this
notice.
Plenty of sour milk and plenty
of good, fresh butter. Also good,
fresh Jersey milk and cream for

A barn on one of the rent
places of Cam Longley, in the
Chadwick neighborhood, was
burned Sunday night. It is sup-
posed to have been the work of
an incendiary, who stole a quan-
tity of meat which was stored in
the smokehouse adjoining the
barn. Officers went out and
spent part of Monday there in
search of the possible culprit; but
did not get a clue sufficient to
warrant an arrest.
j R. T. Thogmartin, aged about
63 years, died 'Tuesday morning
at 10 o’clock at his home about a
mile south of the courthouse,
after a lingering- illness of sev-
eral weeks, there being a general
breaking down of the tissues of
life and a giving way of memory
and vitality. For many years
he lived in the Adamsville neigh-
borhood and stood high as a citi-
zen and neighbor. A few years
ago he moved to the Long Cove
community, and later settled
near Lometa, where he made his
home until a few months ago,
when he moved to what is known
as the Morgan place, just south
of the city line. Mr. Thogmar-
tin was a good man, a splendid
farmer, an enterprising citizen
and a Christian gentleman. For
many years he had been an ad-
herent of the Presbyterian
church, and died in the faith of
the Gospel. He leaves a widow
and a number of children.

T. J. Casbeer is in Brownwood
for a few days, attending a meet-
ing of the agents of the Texas
Company, of which he is the lo-
cal representative.
J. H. Parsons announces in
this issue of the paper as a can-
didate for the office of tax asses-
sor. Mr. Parsons is a native of
Tennessee, but has been in Texas
since he was a small boy, and
lived in this and Coryell counties
for the past eighteen years. He
is a young man of good educa-
tion and address and desires the
office that he may make a sup-
port for himself, as he lost his
left leg years, ago, and during
this time he has had no proper
employment, except to read and
study and try to prepare himself
for some character of public
work. He deems himself thor-
oughly qualified to transaot the
business of the office and asks
the support of the voters at the
primary election, promising
faithful attention to the office, if
elected.

Rev. C. H. Maloy, of Lometa,
Was here Tuesday and made The
Leader a pleasant oall. He is on
his way to Houston and will
spend some time in Marble Falls
and Austin while on the journey.
There is to be a meeting of the
Lometa-Georgetown Oil Compa-
ny at Houston on the 21st, and
he is one of the directors and
stockholders in that company
and will attend the meeting.
Some producing wells have been
drilled at Humble by this compa-
ny, and there is pending a prop-
osition to make a deal by which
it may be absorbed by a large
producing oompany. The an-
nual meeting of the Texas cattle-
men will be held in Houston next
week, and Mr. Maloy will proba-
bly attend that also.
Dirt was broken Monday aft-
ernoon for the new Presbyterian
church, to be located on the
corner of Third and Chestnut
streets. J. H. Waggoner has the
contract for the entire building
and is to turn it over to the
church completed, and hopes to
have it finished in the early sum-
W. H. Adkins, of the Lometa
Reporter, is here for a day or
two. He has been in Temple un-
der treatment for several weeks,
and appears much improved over
what his condition was some time
since.

Ed Harmon, of the Topsey sec-
tion, was here Saturday and add-
ed his name to the growing list
of subscribers in that prosperous
community. Mr. Harmon is one
of the progressive and successful
men of the neighborhood, and
insisted on his community join-
ing with the Unity people in se-
curing the first rural high school
in the county. It is a pleasure to
meet men of this character and
to know what they stand for in
the upbuilding of the country.
mer. Almost sufficient stone is j Harmon is a native Texan,
already on the ground to erect and has lived in this part of the
the walla, and masons will begin Btate pra0aOaUy all his life,
work as soon as the excavations
for the walls are completed. The
wofk will be what is known as
“Rubble range,” that is each
joint will be broken by an addi-
tional stone. This character of
rock work differs from dimension
work only in the fact that in the
latter each stone laid is supposed
to be of the same size, while in
the “Rubble range” work, ^ the
joints only are broken as it is
called. The work and material
will all be of the best character,
and the Presbyterians are to be
congratulated upon the success
of their enterprise.
And now the good housewife
is preparing for the spring gar-
den, and the merchant who has
seeds on sale is reaping a small
harvest of profit on such sales.
The city man should allow the
country cousin to produce the
vegtable and then pay him a
good price for his produot. It is
the fair way and the cheaper one
in the end.
Try a sack of Silk Finish and
be convinced that it is the best.
