San Antonio, taking in the inter-

pleasant visit and the Fair the
biggest, the grandest and most
interesting ever held in Texas.
Rev. and Mrs. Cullom H. Booth
left Wednesday morning for Aus-
tin. en route in buggy through
the country, having shipped their
household furniture by railroad.
Rev. Booth's pastorage of the
M 'thodist church at Bastrop for
the past two years has been pro-
ductive of the greatest christian
g hmI to the town, membership
increased, elder members revived
and a pleasant harmony and good
feeling brought about among the
several christian denominations
that will be felt for many years to
come. Never was there a Meth-
odist pastor and christian wife
more dearly beloved by Bastrop
people. Indeed, there are many
sorrowing hearts in Bastrop over
their departure from our midst.
May God's richest blessings ever
rest with them through life and in
the end may they reap the rich
reward promised to the true and
good of earth is the wish of all
Bastrop.

en in this city next Tuesday,

F-amous Shows, which are now
Eitively united and form the
^est show ever preeented by
this well known circus firm.
Three of their famous shows
have been united this year which
now places the Gentry Show
among the leading amusement
enterprises of this country.
One of the principal features
of this year's entertainment is
the wonderful performing ele-
phants, eight in number, twice
as many as they have ever had
before, who comprise a band of
musicians playing on almost
every kind of musical instrument
known, this act alone shows that
the Gentry Bros, are foremost in
the trained animal kingdom.
These sagacious performers are
not only musicians but perform a
number of feats that are nothing
«hort of marvelous.
The grand street parade one
mile long will leave the show
grounds at 10:30 o clock sharp
next Tuesday morning. Nov. 20,
and will be presented on the
principal streets. The street pa-
geant presented by the Gentry
Bros, this year is sa'd to eclipse
all former efforts by any circus,
it being a beautiful spectacle
long to be recalled.

In addition to the annual Flow-
er Show given by the ladies of
the Cemetery Society there will
he presented at the Opera House
on Friday nicht, a highly inter-
esting Concert.
The children, under the efficient
management of Mrs. B. C. Clark
are training for the presentation
of the lovely little cantata, "The
Rainbow's Fete." In addition to
this, there will be splendid spe-
cialties by our favorite amateurs.
It will only be necessary that
the Bastrop public know that this
is our children's contribution to-
ward improving the hallowed spot
where our sleeping loved ones
rest, to have their efforts meet
with the greatest success.
Your presence at this Concert,
will serve a three-fold purpose
viz you will spend a pleasant
evening you will assist the good
ladies in beautifying "Fairview"
and you will encourage our chil-
dren to cultivate those talents
which add so much to the beauty
and brightness of life.
The price of admission will be
small. Let every one attend.

—Go to Max Gloeckner's for
fresh groceries; he deals in the
best the market affords. Some
dealers turn customers away rath-
er than sunply them with any-
thing but the freshest and best.
Mr. Gloeekner is such a merchant
and deserves your patronage.
A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
In the early hours of Sund iv
morning, the Restaurant-Confec-
tionary of Owen Chalmers, situ-
ated on Main street, adjoining
south of the First National Bank
of Bastrop, was discovered on
fire. The alarm, quickly given,
received prompt response, but be-
fore the firemen could reach the
spot the burning flames had pro-
gressed so rapidly it was impos-
sible to save stock or building,
only a rortion of the frame saved
and that in a badly damaged con-
d tion, hardly worth the tearing
down. We learn there is a light
insurance on stock and building
but not sufficient to cover loss.
The building was the property of
Mrs. A. J. Batts, was built many
years ago by her husband, now
deceased, and used by him as a
; saddler and harness shop, and the
.last frame building left on the
block.
GIVEN "a WAY!
' Mr*. Delia Kennedy has on ex-
hibition a large doll which will
be given away to her customers.
Every customer who purchases

coupons Dec. 24, 190(5, will get
the doll, and next to the largest
will get a beautiful white hat*
which wili be on display next
week.

A FINE APPOINTMENT.
In the opinion of the Adverti-
ser Hon. Sam Sparks, democratic
nominee for State Treasurer, has
acted most sensibly in the nam-
ing of his appointments immedi-
ately after his election, thus re-
lieving the suspense of the appli-
cants and saving himself great
annoyance. We, as well as many
Bastrop friends of Lee P. Gatlin,
rejoice to find his name among
the number named by Mr. Sparks
for a position in the Treasurer's
office. Mr. Gatlin is well fitted
for the most important duties
that may be given him. For four
years as deputy county clerk
of Bastrop county, every duty to
the dotting ofan i, faithfull / and
correctlv performed, and Mr. S ,
will find he has made no mistake
in naming Lee P. Gatlin, of Bas-
trop county, as one of his assis-
tants in the discharge of the du-
ties of State Treasure/,
