An Important Question:
Am I developing a rash reserve
which will provide an income or
enable me to grasp my oppor-
tunity the moment it arrive* ?
Do you know of a better way to develop a
reserve than to deposit \ <mr income in the
Citizens S't-ite Bank and pay it out by check.
That plan will give yon an incentive to keep
your balance growing, and your account, large or
small, will be welcome.

Copperas and its tributaries, and
has found that a dam 200 feet in
length, 2S feet high, will back
up the water for a mile and a
quarter above the dam. That
the creek when damned will hold
water is evidenced by the good
<1 laiity of clay on its sides and
bottom.
Mr. Powers is putting500 acres
oi land surrounding the proposed
lake into the project. This land
is covered with beautiful pin 's,
has splendid elevations and is an
ideal location for a park or coun-
try club.
He is organizing a club, com-
posed of Bastrop business men,
(ladies are eligible to member-
ship however). This club will
own the 500 acres together with
the lake, the dam and the 2000
foot well.
We believe that Bastrop needs
a country club. Stocked with
fish the lake will be a paradise
to lovers of the rod and reel,
while in winter duck shooting
would be in vogue. Boating and
