Mr. Borden owns a “cedar tract” near Bastrop, Texas. The machinery is already purchased for a sawmill and factory, the latter to compress two and a half pounds of bee into cakes of two ounces. So the Bastropites may look for “big things” in as short a time as it will take to become constructed.

Hogg at Bastrop.
BASTROP, Tex., Oct. 31.—The political pot no longer simmers, but is boiling, and men, women and children alike stand committed and interested in the vital issues to be settled at the polls Tuesday week. Governor Hogg spoke to a packed opera house in the city Tuesday, and old Bastropians, who indorse the Clark faction of the democratic party, smiled when Senator Fowler introduced him as “the regular democratic nominee for whom all good democrats should vote.”

Bastropians (Bastropites? Bastropers? Anyone know the answer here?) can’t seem to get a break.
