Austin does not hunger for 4th OF
july celebration this year. For several
wears she has done her full duty in this
respect, and this tine asks for sweet rest.
At the best there's lots of humbug in ex-
pending so much money every 4th or
July in powder and fire-crackers. The
Fourth is holiday, and the merchants
should close their stores and give their
employees and themselves day OF, and
the time can be we'll spent in some pleas
| ant, quiet recreation.

home talent recently, in the Opera House,
We Internationally omitted the name of
Miss Ruth Brooks as one of the organlsts.
As she was organist at all of the rehearsals
preparing for the concert, and prominent
as one of the organists at the concert, we
feel that this apology on our part is due
her at this time: Miss Brooks is always
cheerfully ready to aid wherever and
whenever her assistance is needed and
the singers of Austin particularly ap-
preciate her efficient services.

of the best people of Austin and vicinity
who were held spell-bound by the elo-
quence of Rev. J. Halstead Carroll. D. D.,

no words of ours can do Justice, but the
immense audience were carried by his
eloquence from the solemn hush of tear
full interest to the irresistible peals of
laughter, by the wonderful word pictures

and we hope he may be secured in the
near future to deliver some other lecture;
We can assure him full house at any
