The large frame building, on
the corner lot of Main and Farm
streets, known as the Red Fac-
tory Building, is to be torn down,
and the lumber sold at low price.
The lumber in this building is
of the heart from the large pine
trees grown south and south-east
of Bastrop, when much of the
log now sawed into lumber, was
not used as lumber, therefore, is
well seasoned, sound, better and
more lasting than most of that
cut and sawed from the trees of
today, of heart, seasoned, better
condition, superior to that of the
new. Assorted, will be sold for
less money than the new lumber
can be bought. Come and exam-
iii thi < old K-art lumber.

HORSE THIEF CONVICTION.
(Houston Post Special.)
Cueko, Texas, Jan. 14.—C. E
Fields, alias Dr. Hoffman, was
to-day convicted of theft of a
horse and sentenced to two voars.
He peddled spectacles in Cuero
under the name of Dr. Hoffman,
borrowed a team from a widow,
which he sold in Wharton county.
It is believed the man Fields
alias Dr. Hoffman, is supposed
to be the same man, under the
name of Dr. Jones, peddling spec-
tacles, hired the best buggy and
horse in the stable of colored liv-
eryman Jim Holmes, saying he
had orders at a point across the
river, and would also canvass
that section for other sales, he
wanted the most respectable one
he had, and was willing to pay
a good price for the turn out and
would return next day. Holmes
let him have the turn out, a new
buggy and a splendid horse that
he had just bought. He looked
at the "doctor" and the turn out
as it started in direction of the
river bridge, and that is the last
time his eyes rested on either.
The editor sat in his office
whence all but him had fled, and
he wished that very last dead
beat was in his grave stone
dead. His mind then wandered
far away to the time when he
should die, and his royal edito-
rial soul would go scooting to the
sky: when he'd roam the fields
of paradise and sail o'er jasper
s< as and all things glorious would
c ombine his every sense to please
He thought how then he'd look
across the great gulf dark and
drear, that'll yawn between his
happy soul and those who swin-
dled here, and when for water
they would call, and in agony
they'd caper, he'd shout to
them: "Just quench your thirst
with the "due" that's on your
paper."—True Democrat.

THE CO.'T AND WCRTII OF
A BOY.
Somebody has figured out that
tl e average boy who is depend-
ent upon his parents for a liveli-
hood until he reaches the age of
twenty-one years costs them four
thousand dollars. On this basis
of calculation a brood, for in-
stance. of six would represent an
outlay of twenty four thousand
dollars before they fret awav
from the home roost. The ques-
tion arises, does it pay to raise
boys and are there no other crops
that would prove more profitable?
If a boy turns out to be a cigar-
ette fiend, with a breath like a
turkey buzzard and a laugh that
would make the untutored don-
key feel perfectly at home in his
society with untrammeled and
unconquerable desire to avoid
work, it is safe to say that his
parents might have invested the
four thousand dollars to a much
better advantage But if the
boy grows up to manhood with
the lesson well learned that
wealth and success grow only on
bushes watered by the sweat of
one's brow, the parents need not
begrudge whatever they have
spent on him, for he will be a
source of increasing joy and
pride to their hearts, and when
they grow old and their hand?
tremble and their legs wabble
and their step is slow and falter-
ing, they have two strong arms
to lean upon and help them over
all the rough places that lie in
their twilight path.—Ex.
Old mellow and thoroughly ma-
tured it possesses every essen-
tial of a genuinely fine Kentucky
liquor—thats why L. W. Harper
whiskey is the most popular.

Did you ever sit on a mossy

ARD." It is a* laughing, bub-
bling, pure heart and home story
