ON 36 FOOT RISE
The ( (dorado river at this point has
been on a rampage for the past three
days, reaching the highwater mark
of approximately .17 f.^-t Wednesday
afternoon and began receding at a lata
hour Wednesday night, and by Thurs-
day morning had gone down eight or
ten feet. The river was the highest
since 11)15.
I radically all of the river bottom
com and cotton was washed away,
but no report of any stock lost.
One loss of |jfe was reported it
central lexas to Thursday morning,
and predictions were that the crop
loss over the flooded area was com-
paratively small.
Traffic was at a standstill Tuos-
day and Wednesday. Onion, Cedar
ami Alum Creeks were all out of
banks, Tuesday and Wednesday, but
it is thought that by Friday morning
traffic will be normal.

1 fancy when the gnmc is done,
And we shall dress to play no more,
Twill little matter what we've won;
* )r what shall be our finest score.
Only the friendship and the fun
Will tin conquest pondered o'er,
The |o■ ses and the grain will fade
From them we'll quickly turn aside.
F.ven the brilliant runs we've made
Will strangely cease to stir out' pride.
Other- hall play when we have
played,
Viid try the very feat- we've tried,
\nd looking back in that last day
Perhaps we'll ee with clearer sight
The purpose of our vein's of play,
And find, outlasting skill and might,
The little memories down the way
Of joyous friendship and delight.
Not this prize won or lost will be
The sum of our achievement here;
But we shall scan the years and see
Face, afar and faces near
That light the book of memory,
\nd bared our every smile and tear.

On last Thursday night, the Texas
i Power and Light Company held their
regular bi-niontldy Safety Meeting
! for the employees and officials of
their plants at Bastrop, Sniithville,
liiddings and West Point. They also
' had as their guests the employees of
the Austin tias Company of La
I irange and Sniithville.
The meeting opened at the Stey-
mann B< staurant with everj'l. ody
gathering around a table loaded with
everything imaginable good to eat,
and all the palatable trimmings in-
j (duding cake and ice cream.
After everybody had had their fill,
I Mr. .1. F. Haines, manager of thi-
district, stated that the ladies pres
eiit were invited to attend the liixie
theatre as g-.i. ■ t - of the Texas Power
and Light Co. After the departur-
of the ladies, the regular business
session was held. This included a
complete lite of instructions on safety
md resuscitation in the event of
electrocution er other unconscious-
lie , rendered by accideit; •*. Actual
ib inoiist ration of the prone pressure
mi ' hod i given, and several eni-
idoyi were asked to give this demon-
■ tration, -o as to familiarize them-
elves in case some one with their
ivw happened to an accident.
A full report of hazardous con-
eitioii i Msting at the Iik'iiI plants
and over the cities served were given
and discussed in length. Also the
hazardous conditions that existed at
the plant and were reported on at the
last Safety meeting were reported
repaired. These inspections are
made in regular intervals and every
precaution is made by the company to
prevent accidents or loss of life, and
every hazard is ordered to lx> repaired
immediately.
The T< xa- Power and Light Com-
pany spares no expense in making
everything safe for their employees
and giviiuj their customers service.
Servh e is their logon, and you may
see their employees out most anv
night working to give their customers
ervice. and to protect human life.
The e meet ing > prove very bene-
ficial. as they give the employees of
the different plants a privilege to
learn what theii nei-rhhoir* are doing
and take notice of their accident
reported and watch their step.
yhi;r' intc.< itiiij. talks were also
n a le b\- Mi. W. It. Pansome who wa
a -t ockll' dile' r t!'e lo 'l'l plant be^on
ellimr their interests to the IVxii
Power and I.'ght Co., and Dr. T. B.
Taylor, one of the local company*
physicians.
The meetinr as a whole was a ver
enjoyable on , and will go on record
•is . tie of the most interesting ones
held in some time.
Since last a day was set aside in
honor of departed soldiers, the ranks
of the rreat war heroes have been
thinned by the passing of Marshal
Focli.
din of the great generals of all
time, his brave spirit now belongs to
eternity. Like many great generals,
lie , poused peace with all his might
and main, yet proved a pierce and un-
relenting warrior when struggling
for a righteous cause.
Significant was th" coupling of his
name with that of the Unknown Sold-
ier at the time of his death. Beauti-
ful was the thought of saluting them
both one the greatest general, per-
ha. . of the World war; the other, i
unknown, obscure.
It is in that spirit that we must'
celebrate Decoration Day, reserving
i uc honors not only for the famous
and glorious leaders, but dividing
then as well among the humblest of
I'.. who have served their people
in a common cause.
Our tribute of gratitude and love
iuu ' embrace all those who gave
tl:. lives with equal emphasis for
t!.«
t hi
it lei s and ruled, tin mighty and
umblc, the known and unknown.

It was also stated that, there was a
probability of using only one train to
send out-hound mail at night, and
that would be the south-bound. No
mail north.
The citizens of Bastrop should get
busy about the matter at once, ui
this would work a severe hardship
on our city. Today we receive no
parcel post from the night trains, (
and to cut out the first class mail .-ser-
vice at night would make our city
