Ba.strop, Texas, July 19. '07.—
Most Worthy Grand Presi-
dent, and members of the Grand
Lodge Sons and Daughters Pro-
gressive Association of Texas.
We your committee or. special
resolu'bns. beg to submit the
following resolutions:
Whereas, the Grand Lodge of
the Sons and Daughters Progres-.
give Association has been so
c jrdially welcomed to the Citj of
Bastrop, and
Whereas, we recognize in the
citizens of Bastrop, this noble
commonwealth, expressions of
deepest and' most generous de-
sire for the welfare of the whole
people, and
Whereas, we see demonstration
of the above, in the Board of
Education granting us the use of
the Auditorium of the Colored
High School building, whiefr has
added so greatly to our comfort
and convenience during the pro-
gress of this Grand Lodge,
Therefore, resolved, that it is
the unanimous sentiment of the
Grand Lodge, that these expres-
sions of good will, and these
gtuerous proffers should not be
passed by without expressions of
heartfelt gratitude and assur-
ances of our deepest appreciation.
Resolved, further, that we rec-
ognize in these acts of kindness,
expression.- of the deep and abid-
ing interest, that the white peo-
ple of the South have in the ab-
solute welfare of the Negro, and
an effort on their j art to assist
in driving out ignorance, super-
stition and vice from among our
people.
And resolved further, that it is
consensus of opinion of the Grand
Lodge, that we have received at
he hands of the Board of Edu
cation, the character of treat-
ment that shall ever be regarded
as of the most generous nature,
so characteristic of the good
white people of the South.
And therefore resolved, that
the Grand Lodge by unanimous
vote returns thanks to the Hon-
orable Board of Education for
their kindness in this instance.
Respectfully submitted,
Miss M. A. Johnson,
D. J. Hull,
Miss E Jones,
J. H. Hickman,
W. M. G. Washington
Committee.
Resolved that these resolutions
be spread upon the face of the
minutes and a copy be sent to

lication.

Mrs. L. B. Kerr, W. G. Sec.
—Where art thou going?
Why to Harry's Restaurant at
the Iron Front, where the best
to be had is served.
COTTON WARE HOUSE.
Bastrop must have a cotton
warehouse and it behooves the
people of Bastrop to at once
make a move in that direction.
Neighboring towns have erected
good and substantial ware houses
and Bastrop must at once fall in
line.
—Harry eau feed you, and
put you to sleep too.

Editor Advertiser:
Please allow space in Advertis-
er for following short statement
of Hill s Prairie, people and the
promising growing crops.
Prosperity throughout Prairie
is apparent to the most casual ob-
server of growirg crops. The
prospect of a good cotton crop
with corn plentiful, is indeed very
promising. Indeed, extra fine.
It is true, Mr. Boll Weevil is as-
serting his presence and doing his
part in the way of annoying and
pulling the farmer back, but by
strenuous effort on the part of
workers, the cotton is certainly
making just the same and corn
ears increasing in size and good
weight. Our farmers, from ex-
perience have learned that it re-
quires steady early and lute work
in the fields, much good plowing,
to asure big crops of cotton and
corn, and have decided to contin-
ue running tho plow until Sep-
tember.
D. II. LeSucur says his hands
plowed over his 300 acre farm in
three and a half weeks, and will
plow it over again.
We certainly have much better
prospects for abundant crops of
corn and cotton now than at this
time last year, even without any
more rain.
The "LaGrip" which has been
soiely affecting cotton, is fast
disappearing, the weed growing
bolls forming, and altogether, is
doing nicely.
Indeed, Hill's Prairie has a lot
of the best white people in the
cc ntry, while her colored people
are industrious workers and good
farmers.
Chas. LeSueur, the Johnson-
grass King, has as good a crop 011
his Johnson farm, as any farmer
in the county can show. It is bet-
ter known as the "Dutch Field."
Frank White and Columbus
Roberts are on the ('apt. Grady
old farm, have good crops, the
best crop since Mr. Pierce left it.
The negroes arc all doing well,
