off the tail end of a tornado for
a keepsake, put the sky in the

but ntver, never be deluded with
the idea that you can beat our
High Grade Blue Ribbon Flour
for $1.75, at T. A. Hasler & Co.
Whereas, the success attained
and its enjoyable features have
been secured largely through the
well prepared program and the
thoughtful and efficient interest
of the county superintends.t and
other officers of the institute, and
the hospitality of the good people
of Bastrop and the board of trus-
tees, the quartette, and others
who may have contributed to our
pleasure and entertainment;
Therefore be it resolved, That
I we express our appreciation of
all the efforts put forth in our
behalf and our thanks for the

copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the

The Advertiser of Jan. 15„
1882, contained the following ac-
count of several robberies in
Elgin:
"A robbery in town last night.
The houses of R. V. Standifer,
F. M. Buman and the postoffice
kept by Mr. Scott, were gone
through. The burglars were
evidently in search of money, as
they took but a few articles,such
as pocket-knives, smoking tobac-
co, can goods, etc. The cash
drawers were relieved of their
contents. In the postoffice, let-
ters and billetdoux were lying
around in premiscous confusion,
many of them torn apart, as if
the work was hurriedly done,and
quite a number are missing. The
postmaster is fearful that two
registered packages were taken,
as he does not recollect whether
he gave them out to the proper
parties or not."
The following officers of Bas-
trop Lodge, Knights of Honor,
were elected during the week of
Jan. 15, 1882:
B. D. Orgain, I).; G. R. Allen,
V. D.; R. Burger. A. D.; W. H.
Grimes, C.; E. Bastain, T.; C.
R. Haynie, R. ; II. P. Luckett. F.
R ; A. S. Lewis, G.; L. Helman,
G.; A. J. Butts, S.; H, P. Luck-
ett. M. E.
Trustees—T. C. Cain, C. B,
Garwood, J. H. Goodman.
Notice was given in the old
paper of the death of Mr. John
J. Smith, which occurred in Bas-
trop county Jan. <>, 1882, at the
advanced age of 82 years.
The following local items are
taken from the Advertiser of
twenty-eight years ago:
"Capt. VV. W. Knowles has
moved back to Bastrop, and is
now living at his mill near Live
Oaks, west of Bastrop."
"Teamsters and others tell us
that the roads in the country
were never in such a wretched
condition as now."
"Mr. Thomas Haynie, of Lam-
pasas, brother of Mr. C. R. Hay-
nie and Mrs. H. P. Luckett, with
his family, are on a visit to Bas-
trop."
"Mr. James Moore and Miss
Fannie Goodman were married
at the residence of the bride's
father, Mr. E. Goodman, on
Wednesday night, Jan. 11, 1882,"
"Planters are preparing to sow
large fields of oats, as soon as
the ground is ready for plowing.
The oats and other small grain
now up is looking splendid.
There is every prospect for a
heavy yield."
"Notwithstanding the con-
tinued rains of the past ten days,
ihe river at this point, is as low
as at any time during the sum
mer months."
"Attention is directed to the
advertisement of Mr. L. W.
Olive, dealer in groceries and
general merchandise, at the
store formerly occupied by Mr.
A. Wiseman."
"SI.25 a bushel continues to be
the ruling price for corn in Bas-
trop."
"The Record notes the pres-
ence of our townsman Col Philip
Claiborne in Georgetown."
"A new case of small pox de-
veloped at Austin, Monday, the
first and last for over a week."
"Mr. John Kohler's little child
about 8 months old, accidentally
poisioned iiself with strychnine,
Monday. It got hold of an empty
strychnine bottle, from which
it got enough to have proven fa-
tal had it not been for the time-
ly arrival of medical assistance.
The child has recovered."
^ "The talented forger, VVm. E.
Gray, whose exploits are given
in an article published on first
page, will be readily recognized
as the notorious Dr. Colletso, who
figured so extensively in Bastrop
a few years ago. He should
never have been pardoned. Sinir
Sing does not contain a more
shrewd and consumate villian
than this Wm. E. Gray, alias
Dr. Colletso."
One of the Advertiser's re-
porters made a trip through Hill's
Prairie tin; first of the week and
as he called at s 'vera! of the
hospitable homes uf the commu-
nity, he found some of t !ie fol >:.<
sleeping as late as 11:30 a. m.
This aroused us to ask why they
were sleeping no late, and we
learned from a friend that a
company of young folks together
with some married couples, had
been down to the Smithville car-
nival, Monday night. They said
the carnival was a great sueie s,
and that Hustling Harry did a
fine business. The party re-
turned to Hill's Prairie on the 3
a. ni train, reaching their home
at 4 a. m., a id later. When they
arrived at t le Prairie, the con-
ductor told them that the street
cars had st >pped running and that
they would have to walk home.
Such is life. Maybe the old j
adage ought to be followed some-
time. "Believe half you see and i
nothing you hear."
The following party from Mill's j
Prairie attended the carnival at;
Smithville Monday night: Mr. |
Chas Jenkins and wit'e, Mr. Bob)
Watson and wife, Misses Katie
Lou Oidiield, Mona Nash, Lizzie1
Hubbard and Winnie Craft,
Messrs Malcom Oldfleld, Clarence
Hubbard and Fred • .

Dr. Arthur B. Reynolds, in a
n n rpttfiriM public address alluded to the
i matter in the following words:

ten years of age for crime and
misdemeanor, the determination
of the age of consent, etc. As
the country becomes more densely
settled and the struggle for exis-
tence sharper, many of these
matters which have hitherto
been of minor insignificance,
will take on a deeper meaning
and acquire greater importance.
Hence the urgent necessity for
remedy of the defects which
prevent a proper registration of
births."
