A Chance for "a Town Hall.

A 7ery liberal proposition was
made bv Mr.. McAvoy, when here,
to the. people of Bastrop. In
substance it was this. that if the

the public the privilege of using

give IA series of entertainments,
two, thirds of the proceeds OF
which he would give the town
for the purpose of building a
public hall. Mr.. McAvoy ex-
pressed his surprise that Bias
trop has no hall. He declared
that he never cav IL more liberal
people than he found in Bastrop,
and be was anxious that they
wake up and erect a building
for the use of the whole pubic.
Now 1t our people will cooperate

public anus ment. We believe
If the enterprise is pressed upon

PERNICIoUS LITERATURE.

Our boys suffer most from the blood and
thunder literature scattered broadcast over
our land The confession Of young Pome-
roy was that the stories of successful crime
first suggested to him the fearful crimes
which he himself committed, and he Is not
the first or only one who has been led to
take up criminal career from the fascina-
ton thrown around it by the writers Of
coarse fiction for boys Hardly less mis-
t.ieyouz is the delusion wrought in boys
mind by fancilul pictures of life at sea.
The romance Of the story and the stark
reality Of life on board of q ship are two
things widely apart. One of these deludcd
boys on schoolship, writing home, said
There are three things a boy wants as
soon as he gets to sea--frst, TO 90 home
second, good square meal, and, third, to
get his fingers on the fellow who wrote
Sack Hathaway" Something to remem-
Der, boys.
