To the People of Bastrop County:
We ask permission to direct your atten-
tion to a few facts that should interest you :
T. A. HASLER & CO., haye L>een do-
ing business in Bastrop, as a firm, for about
TWENTY YEARS; they have built up a
safe trade, which is shown by the number
of orders given for the different lines of

How satisfactory has been our business,
and how fair and how pleasant has been
our dealings and intercourse with patrons,
ask them—-their continued patronage ;s cer-
tainly very flatering to us and our business.
While we are in business for the profit
there is in the tmsiness, and do net pretend
to sell goods for the fun of it, yet we mark
everything down and sell our goods for a
living profit, giving to customers such low
figures as will not onlv induce them to buv
but hold them as permanent customers.
In the DRY GOODS and in the DRESS
GOODS lines, we cannot be excelled, either
in quality of goods, or in the price.
In the BOOT and SHOE lines we offer
bargains that cannot fail to please.
In the CLOTHING department, our stock

at low figures, will be sold at a bargain.
In the FURNITURE department, you
will find well selected lines, all of which
will be sold very cheap.

"That'a iny name. Now, If you will

Ah they neared'the outukirta of the
village, Mlaa Archinuty noticed a fine
residence that htood on rUing ground.
It ri'preaented the mixed ntyle of arcli-
itecture nowadayn ho much favorctl in

There were turrets and cu)iolaa, U\w

"Yea," replletl MIm Archiuuty, coolly.
Mr. Northrop wan ii|ulck t« pcrccive

and the eavea
The lawn waa aeveral acrea in extent
ami waa divided by a gravel drive, on
eat h side of which were brilliant par-
terrew that showed the artiatic t are of a
professional garde nor.
"How charming! How dearly I
should love to live in audi a country
hotuc!" exclaimed Mia* Archinuty.
'•Who la the owner?"
"The houae is owned by David Hen-
ton. and ia occupied by himaelf aud hia
only eon, Charles. They are wealthy
tobacco buyers."
Mr. t'raudall wondered whether hia
fair companion would take eo much in-
terest In the house if alio kucw that the
(teutons hatl outrageously "docked" a
number of | oor farmers who ha«l aold
their cropa of tobacco to them, lie re-
frained. however, from saying anything
disparaging concerning them.
At eight of the lake Mies Archinuty'*
enthusiasm nan again aroused. It was,
indeed, a beautiful sheet of water,
lying placidly between rich lowlands
that gradually sloped into hills of eom-
miniding height The ahorue were
mostly wooded, and at Intervals amid
the trees were small hotels and large
farmhouses at which city guests wore
entertained during the summer.
On a point of land projecting a short
distance Into the lake stood the home
of Mr i'randall, a plain but roomy and
comfortable white house
Mr. I randall's mother ami sister man-
aged the house, and the money earned
by taking Isiarders during the warm
mouths was their share of the family
revenue, the rest of it t ciiig derived
under the young man's supervision
froui the two hundred acres of the ad-
jacent farm.
The yoitng farmer saw the new
guest every day. but a strange embar-
rassment jMisseased him whenever he
approached her. At bt«st he was not a
ready talker, and lu the preseuce of
Miss Archinuty he lost the power of
speech entirely until she restored it to
hlui by asking him questions with kind-
ly tact
Ilia awe was Increased by the dis-
covery that she waa an artist. Almost

muty'e stay there was a hop at the

most dashing young man present was

tained her consent to go driving with j
her two day a late

"Do you mean to aay," said Miss
Archinuty, "that Mr Iletiton docks lu
this dreadful manner?"
"1 do. That ere tine house which you
admire so much was, accord in' to my
best belief, paid for by money made by
outrageous dot kin'."

weeka. C rand all wondered what she
could see lu him bi please her, for he
nae regarded by 'he farmer* who
knew htm best as a "mean cuss."
The truth Is. that while Mis* Arch-
inuty wa* a good girl at heart, and had
a *U| erlor Intellect, she was not quite
the divinity that the adoring furmer
believed her to be. It wa* pleasant to
ride behind the spirits! horeee, and she
liketl her couipaulon, a- customed to
good eoclcty and gentlemanly in hi*
demeanor
fthe repreacnted H- herself that it was
only a summer flirtation, and she re-
solved to cheek Mr Benton's advance a,
should they iMS'tmie too aeriou*.
That the ritdi admirer "meant busi-
ness'' soon became apparent to t'rau-
dall, whose love for the girl made him
ao keen thai he intuitively read the
mind of any man who paid court to again
ought to pursue with Mr llenton
When he next t ailed, she told him that
she had learned that he n as not honor
aWle in his business methods, and thu%
she did not wish their acquaintance to
continue.
Tl f young man vehemently main-
tained that he had been haaely slan-
dered by some one lie usked her who
her informant na*. but she tirmly re-
fused to tell him. lie then departed in
a rage, ami they did not meet again
that summer
Karly lu the fall Miss Archinuty re-
turned to her home in New York At
her departure she gladdened i'randall's
heart by telling him that she had
planned to spend a few weeks al the
lake ucxt summer.
No sooner hail she gone thai: the
farmer began to count the days that
must elapse Iwfore he tould ece her
her
It needed but a few words from the
farmer to lower Mr llentou In the
opinion of Mia* Archinuty Nhe could
1h tohl that he waa a cheat, who sought
as hie victims, not Ins equals, but farm
ers, ignorant slid too poor to tight him
