—Our friend. F. Keil.in the north-
west part of Bastrop, raised this
year, the finest onions ever grown in
this county. They are extra large.
— Decoration Day was properly
observed in Hastrop 1 hurstlay, and
the graves of our loved ones, in
Fairview's "City of the Dead," were
profusely decorated with flowers in
endless variety.
—There is more water in the
Colorado river al this point, at the
present time, than known for many j
months. The water rose to a depth !
of 6 feet this week, and is down at
present to about '2' feet.
— Knowing ones express the opin-
ion that there will be plenty of water

very little the balance of the year.
— 1 he many ftieuds of Mr. I'.tiss '

week. We tender his family and!
relatives sincere condolence in their
great atlliction.

figures. Your inspection inv'ted.
—Complaint to the effect that the
AnVKRTiHKit of last week was not re-
ceived at Hill's Prairie and I'pton.
The fault is tot at Hastrop. The
papers were mailed Friday after-
noon, and promptly left the Itastrop
postolllce, hence the fault must be
with the distributing clerk on the
mail car. We will endeavor to pre-
vent a like recurrence in future.
—We learn of the death of Mr.
Jones McDuff, which occurred at his
farm residence near McDuff, Thurs-
day morning, April i?lst, 1 W1 m. He

eminent physician of the State. The

thy to the bereaved family and rela-
tives.

wheels. Your i<-e delivered by
'he Hastrop Ice Factory, at '• cent

—While there is not much blow,
inn, the Mat Fest, to be given under
the auspices of the Hastrop Fire De-
partment, at Fireman's l'ark, Wed-
nesday and Thtirnday, Ma\ llh ami
&th, bids fair to occl. in amu-ement
and pleasure, anything of the kind
ever given at the Park. 1'lie com i
inittecs are all at work, using every
effort to make the Fest a complete i
success. Prof. Alf Jung is ^ettii^i
his band in good triiu for the occa
sion. and delightful, soul-stirring
baud music may be confidently ex-
pected. In addition, Prof. Max
Hoppe, and his assistants, are care-
fully drilling his "Hayseed" band,
which will discourse music through
streets and at the Park, the like ol
which is seldom seen, and unst be
heard to be appreciated. Besides,
"Uncle Josh" will be on hand in
full force, and, it is to be hoped,
with the addition of Consular W. CI.
Holes, wht) will be "appropriately'
met at the depot, and is expected to
head the street parade, will greatly
nthl to the fun and pleasure of the
occasion. If it is fun you want, the
coming Mai-Fcst will give it to you
to your heart's content. A goodly
number of citizen* have positively
promised to assist in making tin
parade a grand success, and it i*
confidently believed there will be
more decorated wagons, and other
amusing characters, in the procession
than ever before seen on the street.-
of Hastrop. The Kerr string bant!
will furnish music for the ball in the
pavilion each night.
— Hastrop now tioasts three St
Bernard pups, the first of the kind
ever shipped to Hastrop. The trio
consists of one male and two females.
The lirst, a male, was received by
T. W. Cain, Saturday last, Leo
Zieten and W. J. Miley receiving the
other two, Monday. They are as
lice a specimen of pups as eye ever
looked upon, ami are thoroughbreds.
It will be remembered that <leor^c
'lould recently purchased three St.
Bernards, paying ?1 "2,000 for one,
and $1,000 each for the other two,
a total of $-'0,000 for the trio. Tin
Bastrop gentlemen, however, not
having the money "to throw to the
birds" that (ieorge commands, did
not pay quite that much money for
their pups, but it is safe to say,
double the money they paid could
not buy them.
Ucv. (Ieorge Van Pell tilled tin
pulpit at the Christian church Sun-
day morning, being pr< vented b\
rain from preaching at ni^ht. Kev
Van Pelt is a forcible, fluent ami I
eloquent speaker, the membership I
being indeed fortunate in securing the i
services of so gifted an orator. \N e

trop Christian church under the
pastorage of Kev. Van Pelt. Ser

Character of Noted Infidels of the Past.
Kochesler and Wharton were pro-
fligates ; Woolson was a gross blas-
phemer; Blount was a suicide; Vol-
tair was noted for impudent audac-
ity, lllthy sensuality, persecuting
envy, base adulteration, tyranny and
cruelty ; Kousseau was a thief, a liar
and a profligate; Herbert, llobbs.
Shaftsberry, Tiudal, Chubb and
Lord Kolingbrook were all guilty of
vile hypocracy, of lying, deceit and
licenciotisness.
What fruit can be expected from
such trees? The above is a lovely
set. elegant crowd, line specimens of
depraved humanity, admirable lead-
ers for tin- people. Truly, "birds
of a fc Nthcr flock together."
