EVKHVONM knows tho meaning of "machine power," the great, mighty,
moving force of to-day. (Jreat governments are great machines. The
great political parties, when thoroughly organized, are simply huge machines.
Our large commercial and industrial concerns are mnchines; so are the great
armies and great navies ot the world. '1 o make a great army or navy I hit'
will light like a perfect machine costs a great deal of time, ability ami money.
One of the hest examples of "machine power" is the
Elzier Corner ol 7210 Spare Feet
It is now developed and perfected to the point of the greatest rflicicney. It
is ;i wonderful engine ef economy. Hut it could never have attained its pres-
ent great power without some deep principle underlying its motives. And
that principle has been, "LOWKK PRICES KVFAi LOWEK." This
This mighty machine is now at the service of thousands of people of Bastrop
and other counties, and nothing can stop its onward progress. All the
favoritism in the world, and all the force of established custom in the world,
and all ihe pulls of one kind and and another in the world cannot li\e beside
our lower prices.

(Extract from an address <
Bred t<> confederate \eterans.)
Since you grounded your arms
and saluted our colors for the
last time you have 1< pt the rov-
fina ill of peace you gave, a ml k«• |. t i
il faithfully. < hily in retrospect-
ion have you made the war again,
or waged it as did the soldier of
the army of Northern \ irginia,
nt whoso bedside I watched a lit-
tle time ago waiting while thecan-
(llo of life grew dim, again to
Rhine with supernal brightness
beyond the valley of mist and of
tears. Before the dissolution there
came a delirium. That devoted
form" almoststill to this time
tossed in its helplessness upon the
bod. The trembling hand reach-
ed out to grasp the weapon long
lain useless, and from the shadow
of death's agony was moaned out
oommands to action and cheers
to unseen comrades. I grasped
his hand to reassure him as he
passed into the presence of the
only power which could eompn "
him—passed into the presence of
lis Clod. In memory never to
forsakejiie do I see that face, a
panorama of the past, which tells
of hurry ire. battalions, the tread
of nvn li.ilin legions, the shock
of meclinu; and the whole wild
tempest of war. I know that
HCain lie is bel> re L'iehmotid

seven desperate days—I know
that once more he staggers under
the burden of a second Manasas,
and now is at Harper's Ferry—
at Antietam's old stone bridge,
and on the heights of Fredericks-
burg—again he struggles in the
wilderness and night of C'han-
ccllorsville, where chance clashed
with destiny and Stonewall .lack-
son reeled and died—at Winches-
ter and in the valley of the
Shenandoah—at | (lettysburg, the
pivot of the century, where the
"muse of history takes up her
pen to record the birth of a new
nation," as Pickett's division
moves to its mighty charge.
There is the hush of sleep :is thai
gallant body of men goes toitsj
duty and death as steady and as;
brave as the Imperial <iuardofi
the old Napoleon. A gent le I reeze j
is dallying with their crimson I
batlleflags and their burnished
bayonets glisten like shafts of
sunlight. Half the distance have'
they gone before the enemy re-
covers from a paralysi- < f admir-
ation and deluges them with lead
and iron. Men fall as do leaves
in a wind swpet forest; yet those
broken ranks are reformed and
closed and in dead silence that
body advances still. Again and
again are they drenched with
that withering fire; yet they neith-
er recoil nor falter, but treading
over fallen comrades they press
unflinchingly on. "Naught but
death stops men in gray!" Only
KM) yards away is the coveted
ridge where victory and peace
and home awaits their coming.
They freak into the double-quick,
the air rent by the mighty rebel
yell; the starry cross in triumph
waves on pilencc Federal cannons.
I look again. The form is still,
the hand I hold is pulseless; the
lips their moaning have ceased,
and the soldier, weary of war and
of strife, is passing in peaceful
review before Ins come ind. r-in-
