Once a wise man was strolling down the street, and, in passing, he saw a ton dollar bill
lying on the walk. Being of a suspicious nature, he would not pick up the bill, fearinj it was
some advertising dodge or fake. Following the wise man came a common sense mm, who was
willing to run a chance for an equal chance of making ten dollars. He picked up the bill and
found it genuine. Some people still follow the example of the wise man quoted above, and ig-
nore the saving of from 15 to 35 per cent on an average, on buying their Dry Goods, Clothing,
Shoes, Etc. In fact, on almost all their wants.
There are hundreds of people in Bastrop County who take the same chances of the com
mon sense man in this little story, and buy their Clothing, Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats, and all
their wants, at the Green Flag Store and reap rich rewards and go on prospering. ARE YOU
A WISE OB. COMMON SENSE BUYER?

A few of the friends of Misses

most enjoyable evening at the
home of the young ladies last
Friday night.

"Monte Cristo" was greeted by
a small audience at the opera
house, Saturday night last, but
those present seemed to enjoy
the play very much, especially
the acting of Mr. Southers, as
"Monte Cristo." While the sup-
port given him was nothing ex-
tra, the acting on his part alone
was well worth the price of ad-
mission.

The rough element that couldn't
comprehend a "Punch and Judy
show, and don't know when to
laugh and when to cry, and who
generally occupy seats on the
left-hand side in the gallery at
the opera house, during a play,
should be made to "behave" or
"stay out." They had to be
called down again last Saturday
night.

i have heard that if has been reported
in the Vidette andotherwise, that I have
gone to Sherman county, to arrange to
move my family there, ami make thi .
my permanent place of residence, etc.
Thi* report in untrue and unlets prompt-
ly corrected may do mo harm in my
besine sin Maxtrop and adjoining coun-
ties It is true that I have l>een and sun
now charmed with the .situation in Slier-
man county, and it is prohahle that if I
were i young man just starting in busi-
ness, | would locate there forthe practice
of my profession, hut taking conditions
as they actually exist, the truth is, my
removal from old Bastrop is an impossi-
bility, and it is quito eertaia that 1 will
never do ho.
My presence here now is to assist my
son in some legal business entrusted to
his care, and as soon as I hiii through
with it, which will lie in a few days I
will return to Bastrop, and continue my
business there as usual.
Hoping that you will publish this, |
remain. Yours, Very Truly,
J. P. PoWLKR,
St. Paul, Minn , March 13.—
jJim Younger wants to get married
| but can not because he is legally
jdead. Younger submitted the
question of whether or n t ho
^ could wed to (iovernor Van Saut,
j who has looked into the matter
j with some surprising results. In
: Minnesota a man who is a life
prisoner iscivily dead. The only
way he can make any binding
contract in the eyes of the law is
through the board which paroles
him. It is not pro I table, however
that the three members of the
board of control, separately or
as a whole, will agree to enter in-
to a marriage contract with any
woman for the benefit of the
paroled convict. The only way
for Jim Younger to become a
married man in Minnesota is to
get a pardon. Another phase of
the law is that neither Jim Youn-
ger nor his brother Cole, if they
establish any business of their
own, as has been contemplated,
can be held for any debts which
they may incur. Younger's ap-
p!i ation s.iys nothing of the pro-
posed bride.
