Justice Woodward united a couple in marriage a few days ago and
was so embarrassed he looked more like the bridegroom than the happy
man himself. Yet the Judge is an old Benedict rooster of 40 or 50
years' standing -- more or less.

A good Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine for sale at this office. Will exchange it for a fresh sow, fat hogs, or lard.

George A. Branden, of Oakalla made the Leader a pleasant call
Saturday afternoon. He was once a newspaper man, having charged
the Burnet Bulletin, while Bro. Stevens cultivated a patch on Cocklebur Hill. Mr. Brandon
made a success of his newspaper venture, but preferred the quiet
pursuits of farm and ranch life, where he is making a much greater
success. --Lampasas Leader

Card of Thanks
I desire in this place to return
my sincere thanks to my friends and the public generally for the good
patronage they extended me in the Blacksmithing business since I set up
a few months ago and to promise them first-class horse-shoeing and
wagon and carriage repairing in the future at lowest figures. Try
me again. Yours to "live and let live."

Last Saturday, Mrs. Jeff Clements
met with a serious accident. She was driving out to spend the day
with her parents 8 miles east of town, when the horse took fright at
cattle and ran away. He ran a mile and a half and when he came to
Mr. Wm. Humphrey's turned into and leaped the wire fence, carrying a post and the buggy into the yard, and throwing Mrs. C. on her head. She was prety badly stunned, but is getting all right. Mr. Cull Hall brought her to town in his buggy. Certainly a narrow escape.

A funny incident happened on Frank Thomas's
pavement Saturday evening. A young man slipped on the stone
pavement and as he fell, he broke a bottle of whiskey which trailed
after him as he got up and went on. His disgusted remark was that
is the slickest pavement I ever saw!
Suppose all the liquor in the world was served the same way how much happier the people would be.

the poor creatures who get drunk...
