Crockett Enterprise.
A (iforgia editor offers a year'*
subscription to his paper for the tlrat
Ma^on load of watermelons brought
to his olllce.
In sizing up a chronic kicker, an
exchange says; "If the paper was
printed on gold with ink of silver,
and the subscription price was 50
cents per year, some poor, deluded
specimen of humanity would kick
because there was not a diamond set
in each corner of the page, and want
the price cut down to twenty-five
cents."
The next great congress of re-
ligions will be held iu Delhi, India,
in 18D8. The call eminates from a
Hindu of illustrious debent, Maulana
Syed Nesrat Ali Sahet), the editor
and proprietor of the Moslem
Chronicle, a Delhi paper that is
printed iu liotlt native and foreign
languages and lias u wide circulation
in India. Tne aim of the projector
is "to enable the representatives of
the various religions to draw con-
clusions as to the merits or demerits
of the various religions, not in uu
antagonistic, but in a truth-seeking
spirit."
While the church folks are trying
to decide upon a plan of religious
campaign the ensuing year the
Groosbeck Journal begs leave to pul
in its oar: 1. Let every son of a gun
that belongs to churches pay his
debts first and foremost. 2. Instead
of sending off after some theological
acrobat' or hallelujah jack, let all
Christian people get together (after
having paid their debts) and have n
week's union prayer meeting. Then
call in the different pastors that
preach in town, and a revival would
result that would mean something.
Did it ever occur to you that oid
liastrop keeps well up and often far
ahead of its sister towns in the way
of public improvements and public
enterprises? That the old town, like
Masonry, never booms, but steadily
moves onward and upward, always
improving and growing as the days
and years go by. Occasionally we
hear of to•* i i springing into cities, an
if by magic, open fields rapidly dot
with fine public buildings, dwelling
and business houses, which are im-
mediately tilled with a temporary cit-
izenship, soon to be left empty, while
the said citizenship, or a large major-
ity. go to help start a boom for some
| other "tnushroon" town. Not so
with old liastrop. There can be no
"mnshroon" growth here.
The old historic town of Bastrop,
however, while not investing in boom

I'll be along after awhile, and wheu
I do get there, you will see no slid-
ing backward, but a continual mov-
ing forward; I may move slow, but
powerful sure, and don't you forget
it."
Iu looking back but a few years,
we see old liastrop, with but few
houses, scattered here and there over
the big valley, most of the land un-
fenced, over which horses, cattle and
hogs grazed and roamed at will.
We see it when it looked almost en-
tirely deserted, with precious few-
persons expressing confidence in its
future come-out; we see it when the
business houses "dropped out" and
moved to "greener fields." When

The grand old town will never
die; it may sometimes slumber for a
time, but only to awakeu to renewed
life and vigor. It has furnished a
number of able and useful statesmen
who have reflected honor upon them-
selves aud country, enjoying slate
and national reputations, and others
can be furnished, when called for,
possessing merit equal with those al-
ready furnished, only an opportunity
necessary to develope them as states-
men of fine worth; a very rich and
fertile country surrounding it, from
which it derives a trade, year in and
year out, that is ample and always
safe and reliable.

The sons of ex-confederates pro-
pose to organize a mounted batallion

and they are said to favor the idea.
The J 'ew York letter carriers will

The suggestion of the committee on
decorations to use Grant's "Let us

Acting under orders from the
authorities of the town of Hradford,
England, a chemist has just made
an analysis of a testament which has
been used in the Kipon court for
sixty years ami which is said to have
been kissed by 40,000 people. The
analysis was made with a view to
ascertaining what danger there is in
the practise of "kissing the book."
No germs of typhoid fever, tuber-
culosis, or diphtheria were found.
The chemist reports that he identi-
fied seven species of micro-organisms,
which in a very interesting manner
cover the three divisions <>f the fungi
order. The only germ of a dubious
character was one which is usually
found on wounded or sore skin.
Although this germ is not necessarily
harmful, there are conditions in
which it might produce unpleasant
complications, ami the chemist said 1
he would not kin- any surface upon
which they were spread. If salivary
germs could be left in that manner
other microbes of a more dangerous'
character could be left, which was a1
strong argument ngaiust "kissing
t?ir book."
1 "planted" at. McDade, the old Ao-
jvKinisKit was urged to follow, and
| told if we remained much longer, the
I place would be deserted aud we
| alone left to tread the silent streets,
while there w as strong talk of moving
the county seat to Klgin or Hill's
l'rairie; we did have dull times fur
a short while, but the town was only
slumbering and in due time awoke
to new life, when many who had left
wished they were back. It will be
the same in the near future. Kveu
now, notwithstanding we have some
sixty-odd business houses, the very
extreme stringency of the times only
find about six vacant, all of which
will be occupied later on, not later
than the first of September.

A splendid system of water works,
abundantly supplies water to citizens
throughout all parts of the town; an
electric plant, in progress of con-
struction, second to that of no town
in the state, from which the burg
will soon be lighted with electricity ;

sumption, and abundance to spare

importance in the town. A steam
cotton gin and grist mill, and a
crumbling court house was about all,
in the way of public enterprises, we
had to boast of. Our onlv means of
egress and ingress, was the stage
