—The commissioner's court,
with full c( urt present, have been
in continuous session since Mon-
day morninp and will not adjourn
until this, Saturday afternoon.
The repuiar routine of business
has been pone through, the coun-

with the new election low, the
county farm and other county in-
stitutions and property inspected,
considered the purchasinp of an
iron fence for the court house
yard, and in obedience to a peit*

—Several farmers called at the
Al'YH.Tisi K office this week to
tell us of the cotton crop. Com-
missioner's Lindner, of I'aige,
Tally, of Smithville, Simmons, of
Cedar Creek, and Stewart, of
lOlpin, say the cotton stal« is tall1
arid seemingly healthy, but ex-
amination finds but few bolls. 1
Boss Yoast says in his patch on
Cedar Creek, he closely inspected
ten larpe stalk«, and the ten did
not average three bolls to the
stalk, but his father, whose farm
is five miles distant from his son,
says he examined ten stalks in
his field, counting sixty pood'
bolls on the ten stalks, while1
blooms and squares were abun-
dant on all of them. A few days
hot sunshine may make a de-
cided improvement in the bolls.
Boss Yoast reports the boll
weevil in his field as numerous as
tK sands on the sea shore.

gest and most complete fall and
winter stocks ever received in
Bastrop. They contemplate mak-
ing certain changes in the interior
of their store, that will not only
add beauty to the store, but the
better facilitate the display and
handlinp of the immense fall and
winter stock. Close buyers
should take advantage of their
summer sales, as extraordinary
bargains will be offered for the
next two weeks.

TH10 PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The repuiar meeting of the i ffi-
cers and members of the Public
Library Association, was held in
the Library room, Aug. 10,
IB Kl.
Report* from \arioua officers
were heard, and the interests of
the Association were found to up
in good coi dition.
A pleasing feature of the meet-
ing was the reading of a note,
from Mr. W. A. Hlghnr.iih, ir.
which he pres* nted to the library,
a new tet of Louise MuloackV,
works. The gin is highly appre-1
ciated, as well as the kin I wishes
that accompanied it, snowing as
it does, that the Library has a
pla.-e in the hearts of the people.
I'nder the efficient manage- |
ment ( f the new President, Mrf.
B. 1> Orgain, the room has n
rendered more attractive, and,
one must appreciate the improv-
ed appearance, which is calcu-
lated to induce the wayfarer to
linger awhile and enjoy the com-
panionship of the wiee and pood
of all apes.
A neat ' Werner" book case is
filled with standard literature: —
Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, Kllict,
Kipling, Shakespeare, and, now
Mu Ibach, look down upon us most (
invitingly, and, if these do not
please, just pass on a little further,
and, select from the late books,
that which cannot fail to attract
the lover of good literature.
In short, the Library is an
ornament to Bastrop an inetitu- j
tiun, worthy of the fostering care ^
of her citizens, who should rally
most heartily to its support, with |
worls of approval, and their
money. S. O.
Bastrop, Aug. 11, 190.1.
Iui:n.—At her home, near Bed
Rock, August 5th, 1!*0.'I, Mrs.
Flizabeth Duran, wife of Mr. J.
M. l>uran, at the ape of 72
years.
In the fall of 1854 she professed
religion and joined the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church; and
was a consistent member to her
death. A true christian lady has
gone to her reward. She was the
mother of six children, only one,
with her husband, survive i.er.
A devoted wife, a fond mother,
a kind neighbor, her death is
universally regretted.
The funeral took place Wed-
nesday afternoon of last week,
the interment taking pl,i e in the
Bed Bock Cemetery, Kev. < ieorge
Cox, conducting the funeral ser-
vices, in the presence of a large
number of relatives and friends.
