THE Baptist entertainment given last
week was in every respect very credit
able performance. Much time and labor
were employed in making the necessary
preparations, and the performance, was
received by An intelligent audience with
evidences of marked appreciation. Some
CT the plays we're rendered in the most
felicitious manner, and when it is re-
membered that many Of the actors-all of
them in fact, were only amateurs, it is
surprising that they did SO we'll. If the
stage lacks patrons, it can find recruits
among the young men and misses of Aus
tin; VIC can name several that with the
usual practice, would become 'stars' i'll
the profession. While every thing was
we'll done, il is not unlikely that the mu-
sic was as highly appreciated as any 9th
er part Of the entertainment.

SOME time ago we noticed the building
Of Jail, contemplated by the Commits
sioners. The foundation is now complet-
ed-Mr Patrick Berrctt.having done an
excellent piece of stone masonry, in its
construction. It occurs to us that the
building may be made two stories high
with but comparatively little additional
expense. The county at present has no
jury-roo:n. Nor has it any suit IDLE place
for the convenience Of subordinate OFF,
GERS. A second story can be placed above
the iron frame Of the Jail in such way
that the latter may be removed, should
its removal be desired, without taking
down the entire structure. The stairway
leading to the present court room, can be
made to answer the additional purpose of
ascent to!the new building, while the up

Of remark. and although seemingly dry

Attention

For the first time in the history of our
little city, a series of lectur cs has been
inaugurated for the instru ction and en-
tertainmcnt of the people. Many of our
citizens have long desired something of
this kind, and BY their expressed wishes
and promises of support, have cncour
aged the officers of the Reading Rooms
to venture upon the present project
Now that it is fairly started, we call up
on all who have the welfare of our city
at heart to come forward, and with mon
ey, time and presence, do all in theirpow
or to make it a. success. The business
men of our town will find that 1T PAYS
to invest in such things, for everything Of
the kind which can be brought into, the
town, renders it more attractive dwell
ing place and is 4 great inducement to
those who are looking for western homes.
Hence this course of lectures, it. rightly.
encouraged and supported, will bring in
habitants of the best character into the
town and put money into the pockets Of
our tradesmen. .--..- r
/. We look especially to those who are
members of the Reading Rooms Associa-.
ton for earnest and interested labor and
and support. The success of the enter
prise depends largely upon the efforts of
each individual mem Der. Such series
of lectures cannot be carried on without
great expense. Many people here do
not realize the benefit they will be, and
need to be aroused and persuaded TO
give us their support.
| In the first place, then, each one should
make some sacrifice, it necessary, in or.
der to purchase tickets for the course and
persuade others to do SO. Times are
hard, We know, but Christmas is ap.
preaching and almost every one is lay.
ing aside little money for Christmas
gifts. What one could be better or more
pleasing than i course-tickct for these lee.
lures? Surely no one can complain of
the price-much more than the value of
the money will be received We would
particularly call the attention of parents
10 this fact and assure them that no gift
will be of more lasting benefit to their
children than this method Of instructing
and elcvating their minds.
Single tickets 70 each Of these seven
lectures will cost yons $3.50, with extra
charge for reserved seats. For $500 you
can purchase acourse-ticket for the whole
number of lectures with your choice Of q
reserved reat which can be had upon ap
plication to the Secretary Of the Reading
Rooms. Parties from Brownsville, Ian
.lsing and the surroundi ling country gene
Iraily, will fnd II i pleasant recreation Il
