have our subscribers seud or
bring us items ot' news. If sub-
scribers would give us one item
each week, what a grand local
payer we could have. Send iu
anything but politics and we
shall be thankful.

w.ll tee peering up, new roofs,
new additions, new porches,
new barns, new fences, all be-
token general thrift, enterprise
and push. The prospect is for
more general improvement than
has taken place for many a year.
Everybody catch the spirit and
let business whiz.
—"Nothing adds more to the
attractiveness of a town, and
make a better impression upon
visiting 8trangers,t'aan newly
paiuted residences, neat picket
fences, good sidewalks, clean
streets and alleys, and withal,
a good number of shade trees
aud ornamental shrubbery and
flowers in your yards. It is in-
dicative ot refinement, culture,
good taste and thrift."
—From every view point the
farming class of this country is
in better shape now than at any
period since the civil war. More
pe pie own their own homes
and little farms, more are free
from the yoke of bondage in-
flicted by burdenstpme debts;
more are becoming independent
eaeh year by making a comfor-
table living for their families;
more are waking up to the ne-
cessity of giving their children
better educatiotal advantages,
aud withal, prosperity and con-
tentment seem to prevail
throughout the country. Let

reasonable here as at other
points. Able architects and

ger the salary or limited the
means. If a mau is honest, up-
right, and displays a willing- j
ness to help himself, there are
people here, many who will give
him whatever help is needed, so

of reason.
—Work is a great blessing.
Vou can uot see now but some
day you will say that you were
fortunate iu your boyhood days
because you were compelled to
work. Because you cannot get
power to do things save by do-
ing them. Look over the suc-
cessful men you know. Get
their history. Nearly everyone
was compelled to work iu boy
hood. They toughened theii
muscles by hard work and
sharpened their brains by look
ing out for themselves.
—Read thu announcements o*
your merchants in this issue.
Many a dollar has been saved
by a careful perusal of a mer-
chants ad. When a business
mau advertises for your patron-
age he not only has a line of
goods that "speaks" but there
may be some article or articles
listed that you desire and that
it may be advantageous to buy
at this tim*.

Little Miss Irene Howard de-
lightfully entertained a number

refreshments of cream and cake
were served. The little folks
happily took their departure at
the hour designated.

christian" work.
God's manifestations among
his people and the triumph of
Christian principals should al-
ways be made known. Because
the Psalmist David said "make
known his deeds among the peo-
ple." We therefore wish to speak
of our great meeting here, in
which fifty people or more was
brought to Christ; and on last
Sunday we ended our work in a
solemn administration of the rite
of baptism, as Baptists under-
stand. We believe in much water.

I am prepared to supply your
wants either in cord wood or

will appreciate your orders.
Geo. H. Perkins,
at FiUwilimrn & Perkins market-
ton, Texas, ably assisted us in
the good work and the faithful
members stood hard by and saw
the work well done. We com-
pliment the services of the Mt.
Rose members, also for which
they were amply paid. We heard
the Gospel during these meetings
and we should !.ve juL o^r r„-
ligion.
Because a religion that does
not have truth and morality as a
basis will not carry us beyond
the skies. We are also pleased
to say in this connection that
we had one of the strongest
lectures last week ever delivered
in Bastrop by attorney J. Vance
Lewis. Thus you will see we are
trying by might and main to lift
our people up to a higher plane
and we believe in the Southern
white man. We believed if we
are ever to reach our greatest
possibilities it will come through
the proper encouragement of our
friends at home.

Pastor Madison Baptist Church.
