Austin IS being very social this season,
and we think it augurs only good. A
community that is united and friendly,
that can meet and loves to meet often to-
gether in social and informal manner,
is the community where the great MAORI
ty of persons like to live. If we open
our house. and invite our neighbors in
occasionally, they can but feel that we
care for them, that we are interested in
them that we do not live alone for
self

The tim bers now in the Fleck House
barn were first put up by Yates & Lewis,
on their addition, at point just south
of the Catholic church-in about 1855.
It was intended for the starter for good
sized building to boom that end of Aus
tin. Building material was difficult to
procure in those days. besides being very
expensive, and this building never pro-
crossed farther than the frame work.
After Drawing the elements for few
years, the weather beaten timbers were
sold, taken down. and used for the frame
for the Lacy (now Fleck) House barn.

on metropolitan airs by having Vassar
Polo clubs, and other Establishments, by
which to lure the Dicke]s away from the

Sodom and Gomorrah of old should be
a warning to these wicked cities.-A1bert
Lea Enterprise.
The Vassar Polo club Jared pretty slim
IN Austin. But few patronized the enter
tainment. When young women 60 about
the country engaged in such question
able occupation, they had better be plac-
ed. where they belong, near the bottom
of the scale of society. We notice they
receive no very f1attering notices from

Did you ever sleep, and dream OF
husband, or wife, or child, or dear friend,
that was sick, or dying, or dead, and felt
IN your agony and desolation, that all
the world was dark as night. that every
hope had departed only bitterness and
tears and anguish before you? And oh,
how happy you were. on waking, to find
it was only dreadful dream" How
little we realize the blessings we have.
We never appreciate, we never know the
blessings that are our own until we are
bcreft of them. Let US not wait to learn
by loss, to prize the good gifts we pos
sess.

| Every community is bound by the
unwritten law of compensation to pat
ronize its home dealers, providing al
ways that home dealers are worthy of
patronage and keep up with the reasona-
BILE requirements of the community.
The men and women who invest their
money in trade, permanently loca ate and
stand ready to provide for the COM
munity, meantime bearing their share Of
the burdens in the way of taxation. con-
tributions to public charities and enter
prises, etc., are the ones who are entitled
by all the rules of fairness and justice to
the patronage of a community 50 far as
they can meet its requirements.-Ex.
