--Brantling & Miller can congratu-
late themselves on being proprietors
of the most tastely fitted up cigar stand
in the city. Like everything IN and
about the new lie Grande the stand
is first-class both as regards fixtures
and the quality Of their cigars and to-
bacco. We understand they will soon
receive large and well selected assert
ment of murschame pipes which will
challenge favorble comparison with
any stock in the city. Both propre-

"A special dispatch published in the
Houston and Galveston papers of yes
terday, says that the MclInnis Mill
Company, Of Ennis, Ellis county, took
the first premium at the st. Louis Fair
for the best quality of flour on eXhibi-
ton. The flour taking the blue ribbon
was manufactured by the McEnnis
Mill Company at Ennis. The wheat
of which this flour was made was
raised in Ellis county, on the farm of
DIR. Worthen. The awarding of the
premium in this instance shows the
capabilities not only of Texas mills,
but also of Texas wheat.
"A. M. Murphy, ofTyler, Texas, has
challenged Captain Bogardus, the
champion wing shot of the world, to
shoot deer in the field anywhere west
of the Trinity in Texas, the stakes to
be from one thousand to five thousand
dollars at the option of the challenged
party. We understand that Captain
BoSardus has accepted and that the
match will take place some time in
December. We know Mr.. Murphy
personally and are confident he means
business. The sportsmen of Tyler
have such confidence in his ability to
win the match that they are willing to
risk large amount of money on him.
Our Readers will remember our no
tice of some fine pears of Captain w
IL. CASTOR, grown on his farm
situated in Limestone county,
near Tehuacana Springs, and now
comes another specimen of mother
earth, in the shape of five Yam sweet
patotoes, the largest being eleven
inches in circum ference and twenty
inches long. The Others are a little
smaller and range from fourteen to
eighteen inches long. These potatoes
were grown on land which was heavily
SUBSIDIZED, and it cannot be called "A
potatoe "patch," as there is field of
thirty acres of this species of roots.
Who can beat this?
