A DOLLAR OFFERING.
TO BENEFIT OF DEMOCRACY, AND
IN BEST INTEREST OF ALL THE
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THIi
UNITED STATES OF
A M E R 1 C A .
The following well expressed
lines, accompanied by the dollar
offering, from Mrs. S. J. Orgain,
is an act the Advertiser would re-
joice to see imitated by many
others in Bastrop. Our last re-
mittance to Chairman Johnson,
be it small or large, will be made
to-day, Saturday, 24th.. It will
reach proper hands in time to as-
sist in paying necessary obliga-
tions incurred, and the Adverti-
ser would be glad to receive a
number more of dollar contribu-
tions previous to that date and
hour.
We are proud to be able to say
that many Bastrop Democrats
have cheerfully contributed the
dollar asked, a few, even more,
but regret to also say, there are
many others who should, have
failed to perform their duty, and
not contributed the dollar. Help
to raise at least $100-00 from the I
town of Bastrop. The contribu-1
liens lack but a few dollars reach-
ing that figure, and a few dollar
contributions will make up the
amount. All democrats who have
not contributed should, without
delay, hand in, or send in, the
dollar. It will help, and the dem
ocrat so doing, will have dis-
charged his duty,—by giving all
he was asked to give.
Following is the well worded
letter written by Mrs. Orgain:
Bastrop, Oct. 22, '08.
Dear Mr. Cain :
I have read your earnest appeal
asking for contributions to tlu>
Bryan Campaign Fund, published
in the last issue of the Adverti-
ser. I am well acquainted with
the Bryan family, having visited
in the home of Mrs. Bryan, (the
mother of Wm. J. Bryan,) at Sa-
lem. 111., during my last trip
North, and therefore feel a per-
sonal interest in the election of
Mr. Bryan, aside from any polit-
ical reason. In addition to this,
as a loyal democrat, I claim the
privilege, woman as I am, of do-
nating my dollar, (which I here-
with send you,) to aid the "peer-
less one" in the fight he is now
making in behalf of all the
people.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. S. J. Orgain.

THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
In the following clipping from
the Austin Statesman, parents
and guardians having children to
educate, as well as all persons ir>
terested in, and desire, the pros-
perity of all schools, in city, town
and country, will prove interes-
ting and instructive. It is in line
with a contribution published in
to-day's issue, from the pen of
our efficient County Superinten-
dent, Hon. Hartford Jenkins.
The reading of both will inteiest
and instruct you. Read them,
and then vote for the amend-
ments. as all, desiring the best of
good to all schools, will do. Here
is what the Statesman says:
"Vote for th*} school amend-
ment. Everybody else about will
do so. Keep in good company
and vote for it yourself. Don't
be a deadhead or drawback in so
<ood an enterprise. Give the chil-
dren growing up in the country
the same and equal opportunities
for a common school education
that the town and city children
now have and have so long had.
Equally before the law is an eter-
nal principle of free government.
The country raised boy and girl
have not been blessed with the
sair.'. educational advantages that
have surrounded the city and
town girls and boys. This school
amendment proposes to confer
equal opportunities upon them all,
live where they may. That's
right, too. Vote for it. Make it
a part of the organic law."
And, for the Statesman, the
Advertiser will say, that the par-
agraph above, is to the point,
full and complete explanation ex-
pressed in few words; which
may be read, thoroughly compre-
hended by the most casual read-
er, while it will be exceedingly
enjoyed by those interested.
