Last Saturday afternoon the

were privileged to hear one o
the most stirring patriotic
speeches over heard hero when
lion. W. E. Maytvtrd of Bastrop
delivered an address from the
Central depot platform in the in-
terest of the Third Liberty Loan.
A large crowd was present, all
the business houses having been
closed during the time so that
the business men and theirclerks
could attend. Mr. Maynard gave
a clear stateuient of some of the
reasons why we are at war, and
drew a vivid portrayal of the
horrors and crudities which our
enemies are inflicting upon help-
less Belgium and the conquered
portions of France, paying his
compliments to '.he Kaiser in no
uncertain terms.
He impressed his hearers with
the immense cost of carrying on

sary for its vigorous prosecution,

Man, has removed from Elgin
to Austin and is at r ()7 East 15th
Street. Mr. Griffin has boon in
this territory for a number of
years and has a wide circle of

lident that in locating at Austin t
he has widened his field for bttsi
ness, A man of sterling worth, I
honorable and truth worthy in j
every respect, Bastrop County s |
loss is Austin's gain, and the I

donee, a christian gentleman, j
I whose word is as good as a gov
j eminent bond. May health,

Bastrop friends,
tronage of the people of

Mrs. McCord is chairman for la
dies for Bastrop town and Mr.
McCord chairman fcr the men.
These with sub committees, men
and women, have secured quite
a goodly list of subscribers and
tin town reports more than Its
quota. Tho quota for tin* town
is $00,000, and subscriptions
show $07,000 taken. But the
• 1 venth dist rict and Texas are
t Jling behind and that becomes
| a matter of t sponsibility for ov
jury loyal American iu the dis
t, Neighboring towns in the
co ty are showing up splendid
ly and all workers are plunging
into tho cause for the final drive
of the campaign, determined to
go "over the top'' in lining up
behind the boys at the front with
money to equip them for the
struggle. Mrs. Delia Kennedy
is chairman for Bastrop town in
the war savings work and has
the town pretty well organized
and bringing in good results.
Mrs. E. H. Jenkins is count.y
chairman of the war savings and
chairmen have been appointed in
tho rural towns and communities.
Patriotic speeches have been
made all over the county and at
tho movies, and patriotic songs
have been given to appreciative
audiences. I lut still there is the
strange problem of men and wo-
men of means who refuse to lend
Atcerica their n\or.oy in this
awful crisis, while claiming all
the comforts and freedom which
America is giving to them.

READING CIRCLE.
On Friday afternoon tho La-
dies Reading Circle met in regu-
lar session with the president,
Mrs. P. C. Maynard, in tho
chair. Mrs. W. A. McCord led
in the Round Table, making it
quite interesting to all present.
She also gave an encouraging
report on the liberty loan week,
of which she is chairman here.
The service at the Episcopal
church on Sunday evening last
was exceedingly impressive. The
text was from St. Paui's epistle
to tho Romans, "The Powers that
bo are Ordained of God," and
was a clear presentation of the
tints of our country in this war.
Tho preacher showed from the
contex F that St. Paul's commen-
dation of the Roman government
of his time ha I the great merit
of high service in mind. Tint it
was the best and justest govern-
ment the world had seen, even
though the monster Nero was at
that moment on the throne. It
maintained peace throughout tho
civilized world; it's^corner stone
was not force, but law buttressed
by force. In other words it was
a great servant of a great people.
Hence it was ordained by God —
All governments which are great
servants, which maintain right-
ousness, justice, liberty and op-
portunity are God ordained, just
in proportion to tiieir achieve-
ment of service are they holy.
Our national government is pre-
eminently ordained of God, for
it has developed the most effec-
tive means for accomplishing
God's ends in this country, and
it has entered this war to widen
tho area of justice and liberty in ,
the earth—only so can it main-
tain its own integrity and free-
dom. It is not fighting to des-
troy the Gorman people, but to
d(istroy the oppressors of the
German people. Indeed, a com-
ploto victory for tho Allies will
givo the German people greater
blessings than they have ever
before enjoyed, and it alone will
admit them into the comity of
nations, for there can again be
no possible intercourse betuVen
the present powers of Germany
and tho civilized peoples of the
earth, for t hey have demonstrat-
ed their absolute inability to un-
derstand or e.j operate with other
governments. They are the col-
lossal liars of the ages. They are
merely refined barbarians, sav
ages, than whom the world has
produced none more pitiless or
ruthless, and no pledge they can
givo can be accepted by any na-
tion, for they are bankrupt in
honor and morality. Thy re are
but two possible alternatives,
either the civilized world must
destroy Prussian government, or
civilisation must perish. At the
conclusion of tho sermon Ser-
geant Otto Dietz displayed our
country's flag before the altar,
and the congregation stood at
attention, while Mrs. Haynie
rcudercd the "Star Spangled
Banner. ' The flag will be dis-
played at every service while the
war lasts. Joseph Cahde.v.
