The Bastrop Advertiser
Let us worU and stimulate cv-
s?ry legitimate enterprise by Riv-
ing it all the friendly encourage*
iti, nt we can. and unite our in-
dustry. intelligence and capital
in p ; ion cause for the good
of our town.
People take newspapers nowa*
dav s, read them and then throw
thrm awav. They never think
what a source of pleasure and
profit —or reminiscence and
thought, a file or even a number
of such a paoer would be to them
twenty or thirty years alterwards
Our excellent schools is a feat-
ure greatly appreciated by the
best people of this section, and
are proving attractive features.
As a excellent trading point
our town is already ahead of any
place in the country or this sec
tion of country. No place of its
size in the county receives great-
er shipments of merchandise.
Every good citizen of this town
should take a special local pride
in all that pertains to home. The
schools, the churches, th*
amusements, the hasiness. pie:
urec, the picnics, the celebration*
in fact everything should be lo
eri on by our own people just •
can be gotten up elsewhere. '1 iu
town that says "we can, will
always succeed.
Yon can begin to teach a child
to take pride in his or her home
town very early in life. Explain
to them how it detracts from the
bei.utv and value of a town to
disfigure its side walks by piling
diit 011 them or marking them up
with crsiyon. Let them feel thai
i hey hare a great responsibility
i*i keeping up the pride of their
town. Children like to feel that
they are important.

When the people can lie made
to understand that it actually
costs more in time and money tc
travel over a poor road than it
does to travel over a good one,
they will be less inclined to be
grudge the expense of good roads
and what is more important still,
will be willing and anxious to put
the business of road making into
the hands of intelligent men who
understand the business. Poor
r^ads are the expensive things
th*t curse a country district.
On ; of the best evidences of a
rib.-ig, up-to-date town is a well
kept park. Even if, of necessity,
it must be small it serves its pur-
pose by showing strangers that
the citizens of the town take
pride in its appearance. Yet this
park must be well-kept, else it is
worse than none at all. Author-
ities can see that it does not be
come the loafing place for all the
"gentlemen of leisure" in the
village. Every town which has
a small park recognizes a "good
thing" when they see it and ev-
ery town which does not possess
a park has still "a good thing"
coming.
An Illinois editor retired from
journalism and in his "good-bye"
is chronciled in the following
language: The undersigned re-
tires from this paper with the
conviction that all is vanity.
From the hour his paper was
started to the present time he
has been solicited to lie on every
given subject, and can't re-
member having told a wholesome
truth without diminishing his
subscription list or making an
enemy. Under these circum-
stances of trial, and having a
thorough contempt for himself,
he retires in order to recruit his
moral constitution.
Every man is a part of his
town. The town embraces the
fortunes, and in some measures
at l<-ast takes on the character
of the man. So loyalty to one's
town is no more than loyalty to
one's self; and this loyalty is in
the line of ail well shaped hu
man nature. Therefore it is
right to say that the man who
does not stand up for his town
i3 in some way dwarfed. There is
something wrong about him.
His fellows will pass this judg
ment upon him, and the chances
are that while he may add to the
discomfort of others he will not
escape making himself unhappy.
