The Lampasas jail has not a
prisoner within its walls, the last
one having been Sent to the road
gang,!where all the county con-
victs are now kept at work.
Great credit is due the commis-
sioners for the good work they
are doing on the roads with coun-
ty convicts, and some credit
might be given 10 the entire pop-
ulation of the county for the good
behavior which has characterized
the citizenship during the past
several years. The few negroes
who have determination to gam-
ble have had proper attention
from the county court, and some
of their white associates likewise.
All the other crimes connect-
ed with the courts here for a
number of years have been com-
mitted by “passing strangers.1”
The Leader congratulates the
courts and the inhabitants of the
county on the general moral tone
of the country.
The 1700 head of cattle recent-
ly sold by J. F. White to a party
in Oklahoma were shipped Sun-
day, and filled fifty cars. The
town was full of cow bovs who
had assisted in rounding up and
driving the immense bunch of
steers. Who says Lampasas is
not a cattle mai’ket?

Four tables were arranged for

son which furnished the color
scheme. The score cards were
beautiful postals in crimson
roses, and the covers of the score
books were embossed with roses.
! Just before the game began,
Judge Browning, on behalf of the
guests, presented the honoree
with a handsome white fancy

safe with only half enough assets

this would have been for that

half his capital, instead of debts
amounting to half, or more than
half, he was supposed to own !

More than twenty complete
stories are included in the con-
tents of the May numbers of The
Youth’s Companion—stories of
thrilling adventure; stories of
quaint but heroic character;
stories of animal sagacity; stories
of life on the sea and in the
mountains; stories 01 the irre-
pressible conflict .among the low-
er creatures; humorous stories
and amusing sketches—not one
of them but gives the mind a
fresh impulse or adds to one’s
useful information.
grandfathers were enabled to ac-
cumulate something to divide
around among their children.
“The rule is-the other way to-
day. Most men and women
spend all they can put their
fingers on and run along in debt,
behind the world, besides. They
maintain no reserves to keep
them going in time of fire, drouth,
flood or pestilence. They are
wholly improvident, and are lia-
ble to sit flat in the road as pau-
pers at any time.”
The above is as true as the
gospel. This is an age of waste,
of carelessness, of profligacy, but
it is time to call a halt, to put
aside a reserve, to save for a
rainy day, for a fire or flood, any
or all of which may come un-
awares and unannounced. Re-
serve force or funds make men,
women and institutions strong.
■ Debt, waste and extravagance
| produce weakness, despondency,
failure and disaster.

Dear Sir: Here’s the gist of the
paint question:
1st. Every job painted Devoes takes
less gallons than any other paint.
2nd. The paint that takes least gal-
lons wears longest ; Always. We can’t
help it.
Yours truly,

Some reports of damage by the
cold weather come to The Leader,
but in a few days the corn and
other vegetation which shows
this damage will so far recover as
to show that the matter has been
forgotten. Texas crops and Tex-
as weather show some surprises,
but always come around with
good results.

An important decision was
rendered this week by the su-
preme court of Texas affecting
procedure in holding local option
elections. The law which allows
an election to be held in com-
missioners precinct is upheld,
but where two justice precincts
constitute a commis sioners
precinct and one of the justice
precincts has local option already
in force, then the court holds that
an election for local option can-
not be held in that commissioners
precinct but must be'held in the
remaining justice precinbt alone,
for the other justice precinct has
locol option already in force. It
has been the customs to hold
elections embracing a precinct
that had prohibition in force,
and by combining the two make
the situation stronger for the
pros.’ and a number of such
elections in Texas are now void
because of this decision.—C o-
manche Chief.
