MISS NEILL ENTERTAINS.
A most delightful event of the
season was given by Miss Lola
Neill Thursday evening last week,*
i the home of her parents. The
porch and yard were brightly
Hunted, and the young folks en-
joyed i he cool night breeze for
roe time before joining in an
unsing and interesting contest
entitled “My First ‘Romance”
After this Rook occupied the rest;
of the evening, resulting in the !
si prize being awarded to Mrs. j
u C. II. Hess, while the “booby,”
bottle of catsup, becomingly at- j
Hired, was presented to Deryl
, Perkins, with a consoling verse
about his inability to “catch-up.”
Divinity fudge was passed
among the guests at intereyals
Juring the evening, and later re-
freshments of delicious icecream
and cake were served.
The personnel of the party in-
putted: Misses Lena Mae Trick-
Eila Gennette Cochran, Cecil
barter, Minnie J. Jones, Lin
Harkness, Kate Dumont, Mary
Metcalfe, Mrs. J. A. Carter, Mrs.
I. Hess, and Charles Mullins,

SLUMBER PARTY.
Miss Cecil Carter invited a num-
; of the young ladies to attend
Humber party at her home Fri-
night, in honor of her
friend, Miss Jones, of Tehuacana
The young men were invited
ver to spend the evening, and
young folks thoroughly en-
1 themselves till a late hour,
h by the Mexican string band
Iding much to the occasion. De-
- refreshments were served
b ring the evening. Those pres-
■ ueluded: Misses Lola Neill,

raising to do so at the close of
peech. However, he failed

! lamely got out of it by saying
.d probably left it the hotel
Leader has in its possession
s directly contrary to
of the statements made by
Mon, which does not make
It to doubly discount at
y half of his oilier claims.
No denying it, the talk was ex
;ciy muddy, and might have

PEARSALL 4, BIG FOOT 9.
They come! They saw! They
conquered!
In these few simple words can
be explained the farce commonly
known as a base-ball game staged
at Cemetery Ridge last Saturday
afternoon.
Being utterly disgusted and
tired of witnessing the puny and
ineffective playing of the Pearsall
First Nine in the two most recent
base-ball games played by Pear-
sail, namely, the one with Miguel,
and the one at Devine on the 4th
inst. wherein Pearsall came out
second best by an overwhelming
score of 16 to l, the Pearsall
Second nine essayed to assert their
rights and issued a hold ‘and
sweeping defi to the neighboring
boys of Big Foot. The challenge
was promptly accepted and as No.
4 rolled into town Saturday morn-
ing the Big Foot lads descended
in all their glory upon the home
boys.
Promptly at 4:00 o’clock the
game was called and as our boys
(the “pride” of Pearsall fandom)
came trooping out upon the field
a mighty and thunderous cheer
shook thd grandstand (?). But
alas, it was to avail them nothing.
When the smoke of battle had
ended and the final batter had
been retired, the score card
looked something like this. Big
Foot 9, Pearsall 4.
The pitchers, Thomas Ridgeway
for Big Foot and Bell Little for
Pearsall, were about evenly
matched, the Big Foot hero
having a shade the better of the
argument, in-so-far as clean hits
were concerned, but the weird
support accorded Bell#was enough
to justify any pitcher becoming
“wobbly”: nine (9) errors: Good
night! While it is true that the
Big Foot boys were credited with
6 errors none of these counted for
runs, while in almost every in-
stance that an error was made- by
one of our boys, it figured in the
scoring.
The hitting of Mechler and
Henson for the visitors was the
feature of the game, each of
them having a percentage of .600,
getting three hits out of five times
up.

a host of friends and loving rela-
tives accompanied the remains ‘

offerings.
Mr Sanders came to Pearsal
when the town was first located
more than thirty years ago, and
has since made this his home, con-
ducting the Sanders Hotel. He
was one of our most esteemed end
respected citizens and bis demise

NO TRUTH INtIT.
Dilley, Texas, July 15, 1914.
Editor Leader:
I am just in receipt of a letter
from one of your prominent cit-
izens, telling me that it was being
told on the streets of your city
that I would be there to make a
speech and work for Jim Fergu-
son Saturday; Now, 1 want you
to say for me, that I said the re-
port is false from start to finish. I
am for Ball first and all the time.
I vote as I pray, and that is for
the right and for God and women.
Respectfully, G.W.Longino

FIRST BALE OF COTTON.
The first bale of cotton for the
1914 season, on the L & G. N.,
was raised by L J. Ross, near
Millett, and ginned by W. V. An-
gell, of that place Tuesday, July
14th. It weighed 617 pounds,
classed strict middling, and was
purchased by H.W-Earnest at 15
cents per pound. Wednesday
it brought 17 cents at auction in
San Antonio, and a premium of
$100 was made up for the grower.
FARMERS MEETING ATDUIET.
Ad interesting and well attend-
attended farmers meeting was
held in Dilley' July 9th, conducted
by Ira A. Durrenberger, U.S. Ag-
ricultural demonstrator of Frio
County. Mr. Dorrenbergor gave
an able and instructive talk on
silos and the material improve-
ments that the government is now
arranging for the marketing bu-
reau service. He laid great stress
on the necessity of raising more
feed and livestock, meat and but-
ter, and the advantages of crop
rotation The farmers in attend
ance included several from Pear-
sall.
Saturday afternoon Mr. Durren
berger held another good meeting
at Big Foot, speaking along the
same line, and impressing npon
the farmers the necessity of prac-
ticing crop rotation in order to
check cotton wilt and manitoad.
Mr. Durrenberger’s demonstra-
tions on the different farms have
proved valuable, and he hopes for
better .co-operation and better re-
sults another year.
SAM HELD OPERATED ON.
Sam Field was suddenly strick-
en with appendicitis Friday and
Sunday was taken to San Antonio
accompanied by his sisters, Mrs.
Needham Smith and Mrs. Lon
Huff with her husband. He was
operated on at once and is now
doing nicely. On entering the
taxicab to go to the hospital the
door#was slammed on Mrs.Smith’s
finger, crushing the nail and caus-
ing considerable loss of blood. The
injury was very painful and she
was compelled to remain in the
hospital for a day or two, to
avoid serious consequences.
