The festival of tho United German
' Singing Societies bich was hold at
this plaoo on Saturday night and Sua-
rlay 27th and 28th ulUwas the result
m wo learn of an invitation from th
Austin societies to those of fJew Brsuti
fels to meet them naif way for this
'purpose. Our resident Germans as-
sumed tho dufy of preparing the place
of meeting and making most of the
other arrangements for the occasion
which they did in suoh a manner o to
wiutho praise of their guests. The
ground selected was tho ono ohosen
for a celebration on last 4th of July
and is much the nicest of any hereto-
fore used for publio gatherings on oar
beautiful river. It was now fitted up
with a brood floor for dancing speak-
ers' stand tc. An evergreen arch
marked tho cntranco to tho grounds
with an appropriate inscription in Ger-
man and wns flunked by tho Ameri-
can and German National flags in
handsome and appropriate style.
In our last we copied from Austin
nod San Antonio pnuers some account
of the proceeding's und shall now aim
'to supply some omissions. .
The 'singing societies represented
wero'the Austin Maenncrchoir Wal-
ter Tips Director; tlio Austin Sscnger-
rundo; New Jirnunlels Mrenncrchoir
C. Wenzcl. Director: Hortontown
(icrm'a'uia' J. I51aescnz Director and
York's Greek Muxio Choir Edward
KbcrharJ Dirceto'. Lockhart and
other points were ' also represented.
The entire attendiince was largo.
Wii were present only a pnrt of the
timij on Saturday night and Suuday
alte'rnooo and were well pleased and
cntertnined. The dinner was' good
nnd plenty for all. The lager we need j
not e:iy flowed freely. Meantime nm-
sio nnd dancing wore ready forall who
wished to enjoy them. ; And we no-
ticed that not a few of our American
people entered into the spirit of the
occasion with a ret scarcely surpassed
by their German compatriots.
The old saying "Many men of many
minds" is true of nationalities as well
as of individuals and one people has
no nmro right to sit in judgment on
the amusements or social customs of
another than to dictate their political
r religious sentiments. A little more
travel and acquaintance with the world
would tend to dissipate all narrow
local or national prejudices.
Keally there are few things more ab-
sirJ than the prejudices which to
Hime extent prevail between the An-
lilo American and German elements
because- they arc to a lnrrc extent
kiudr-.'d peoples. Tl enriciiial settlers
of America were mainly Knglish. and
the Stion or German clemt-nt of Old
Kni-1 mil gave r.t an early day in hor
liksfory the predominant ptamp to the
mii'iu.l ill .tracer the hnjilinh too
ure about a dHftincni.-iicd as the Ger-
mm a drinker of bet r and le. They

. Editor Fbee I'ress: Wo have
bad pionty.raia about ilastrop; tor ove
(biya last woek wo had showers aoq
now wo also bayo. plenty ; gnats mos
quitoos and. house flies. Cotton crop
will turn out muoh better than ex-i
pected the top orop is good cotton
worms mado their appearance too. late
to .do any damage. Aeoro mast is
splendid it will save much corn in
feeding hogs. Bastrop farmers may
be happyra fair corn prop plenty mast
water and fall grass and a bcttqr cpt-
ton orop than last yeas (when he
worms .destroyed much) and .better
priboV for it. f A stray mad dog was
killed here last week.' "Jack McDoo-
ald who was arrested for the shooting
and kilUngpf.a pegro piaa on Han-
cock's farm .was released on a $500
bond the evidence being too slim.
Mr. A. Wiseman's branch etoro at
McDade was robbed of $500 worth of
goods bn the 27th nit;' the thieves ar-
rested nnd the'goods recovered. Our
former District Clerk Mr. George
Allen took unto himself a nice 'little
widow for a wife this week and more
weddings pre p prospect; what an in-
fluence rains and good prospect of
crops oxeroiso over matrimonial en-
gagomonts. ; " ' ' "'' " '
Rev. Mr. Williamson arrived here
Saturday and it still bids fair to in
terrupt his meotings again with rains
but inasmuch as Christians believe in
much water ho heed not complain if
he finds it in Bastrop. The ohuroh
however was full yesterday. Mr.
Northorafc to the regret of all evil
doers has finished the iron prison
cages with no hope of escape especi
ally with such a vigilant' bhoriff and
deputies as we have. Fleeing crimi
nals better give Bastrop' county a wide
berth tho jail and still Standing gal-
lows are a terrible warning to them.
Watermelons sell in town for twenty
cents. C. Erhaud.
Cor. Dahdrn failed to sell the five
per cent bonds nnd has returned to
Austin. This is a practioal "demon-
stration of tho folly of the coarse
adopt )d by the Governor and adherents.
The profits of the woolen mill at
New Braunlels laRt yedr were 981000
This tho only woolen mill in tho broad
state ot Texas has been running some
years wns onco destroyed by wind and
flo'od but has kept up work and is
now a eoo.d paying institution. Others
would pay also as well as mills for the
manufacture of cotton. Our citizens
might easily combine their en pi tnl nnd
erect a cotton factory at Columbus
where wo have splendid water power
at our very doors nnd such a factory
if properly conducted would pay a div-
idend of not less than 25 percent.
We clip the abovo from the Colum-
bus Citizen. Tho same might even
more pertinently bo said of San Mar-
cos In the Houston Telegram of the
2d inst. we find tho followinc: "Gov-
ernor lioberts said to a distinguished
and truthful gentleman at Austin up-
on one occasion that he would not
give a dollar a family to have people
come to Texas. Didn't want immi-
grants have too many already. The
name of our informant is at the ser-
vice of any friend of Governor liob-
erts who may demand it. How is this
for progress." If the foregoing is
untrue it is a great injustice to our
chief executive. If it is true the
proof should be presented at once.
The people should know it. San An-
tonio Express.
Ik we liare no heavy frost until the
middle of December one of the (in-
et rror ol cotton known for years
