tine bunch of young fellows, who
are loyal to their town as well as
to the "eats" of life.
Decidedly the most recherche
atl'ai r of the holiday season was

Did you know that in the early
clays of Texas when the question
of locating th * capitol of Texas
was under con side rat ion, Bastrop
and Austin were rival candidates
for the location? That is history.
They were and the usual com|>eti-
tion of corner lot speculators
held the attention of the voters
of Texas in a spirited campaign.
Thus it was that Past rop came
within one of being the capital
city of the infant Republic. The
honor went to Austin very
properly as it should have done,
for "The Father of Texas,"
Stephen F. Austin, deserved to
have his name pcr|>etuatcd.
Did you know that in those
days Sam Houston was as well
known on the streets or roads of
Bastrop as our own Capt. B. 1>.
Orgain or Mr. P. O. Elzner are at
this date?
Did you know that there yet
remains within a block of the
present court house a part of
the old Fort that was used to
defend Bastrop from hostile
Indians? 1 am told so. There
are many other such items duly
recorded, or ought to be so
recorded at any rate.
Do you know how Bastrop
county voted on that momentous
issue that decided peace or war
in the year 1*01? The writer
would be pleased to purchase at,
a fair price, copies of Thrall s
History of Texas or Yoakum's
History of Texas, or Potter's
History of Texas. The latter
was known us the fighting parson
from the fact that he reverently
laid his 45 on the top of the
pulpit alongside of his bible just
before commencing his sermon.
It is said that decorum, good
behavior and attention was his at
all times. Very many people
take it into their heads or possi-
bly born with the idea already
fixed in their noedle that history
is very heavy reading: that it is
not easy to grasp or to interest
one. Hut if they will only dis-
miss that idea and take up a line
of history they will be surprised
how much of it is interesting.
They will tind that they are fol-
lowing a line of thought that is
an account of the doings of men
and women and whole people or
nations that is far more absorbing
than fiction or novels, and far
more beneficial in that it will
cultivate a thrist for more such
knowledge, to say nothing of the
benefits derived from a handling
of the subject by masters of
language and thought. Be good
enough to look up the piles of
books laying around about the
house and see if you have got a
copy of Thrall's or Yoakum's or
Potter's History of Texas, and
communicate with the writer.
The Bastrop Public Library
is nicely furnished with many
volumes of history and it is sur-
prising how few patrons avail
themselves of the opportunity to
read these volumes. It is an
opportunity of a life time. Sorry
it is not used as it should be.

It has pleased our Heavenly
Father to call from loved ones
and friends into eternni rest,
Mrs. Minna J ung, beloved wife.of
Mr. George W. Jung, of Galves-
ton. Recognizing the hand of
Omnipotence we bow submis
sively in our grief, striving to
till her vacant place with tender
memories of her cheerful c tinsel
and over helping hand, and to
emulate in our lives the fervent
christian zeal that was so char-
acteristic of hers. Irreparable
is the loss of a loving wife,
devoted and tenderly thoughtful
daughter and sister. To those
who thus mourn her, no tender
our deepest sympathy, praying
that the All-Wise Father may
soothe their aching hearts with
unction from on high, and lighten
their ({loom with the glorious
rays of the hope that foretells
the dark river.

When the day of lift- is tied,
When in Heaven, with joy to jfreet
thee
Where no farewell tear is shed."

Elegant Home Coming Dinner.
Of the many merry Christmas
feasts, there was scarcely one
more enjoyed than the one at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
Smith, eight miles west of Bas-
trop. Their children are all
grown and none are left with
the parents but twice each year,
at Christmas and on Mr. Smith's
birthday in June, they and the
grand-children come Hocking to
the old home, for at least one
day they all try to be together.
For many days before, the
eventful ones preparations are
being made quietly by the old
folks, but no quietude after the
children begin coming in. Ex-
citement and joyousness is at its
highest on Christmas morning
when everybody tries to be the
first to say, "Christmas (lift!"
Such slipping around and peep-
ing from behind doors a"d shout -
ing, till even the oldest ones be
come as lit He child ron. But try
as they may ho child is quick
enough to get "Aunt Sallio's"
Christmas gift. She was never
caught napping on Christmas
morning.
Although most of the dinner
has been prepared before-hand,
each girl must help, or els*; hin-
der, and there is hurrying and
scurrying backward and forward
from the big old kitchen to the
still bigger dining room, "Let
me do this," and "I'll fix that,"
until it is wonderful how Mrs.
Smith can smile serenely through
it all.
At last the dinner is ready,
and such a dinner! This year
the feast was more elaborate
than usual, for a two hundred
and fifty dollar plate was laid for
each of the eight children and
the grandchildren were not for-
gotten, thus making the festival
cost Mr. Smith more than two
thousand dollars. Of course all
faces were radiantly happy, but
none more so than those of the
givers of these good gifts.
The afternoon passed all too
quickly and those children who
live near enough to go home for
the night, reluctantly went their
several ways thinking "how nice
it is to go home for Christmas,"
and ere long they will all In*
