Hockey April oath 1877.
Editors Banner
San Jacinto day was not par
ticularly observed by the citi-
zens of this little village except
to give the train that brought
the freboys a hearty greeting,
though it is named in honor of
the gallant captain of artillery,
Hockey, who was placed in
charge of the "Twin Sisters,
and who we well know was an
efficient and brave officer. On
ly the almost incessant cIatter
of lumber handling, was as usu-
al heard. "Remember the Al
amo, Remember Goliad'' was
not heard upon the streets at
all during the day.
However, Hockey is prepar-
ing for another grand effort with
her dramatic club" on the
evening OF May LIST, Mr.. hurry
will give us a rendition of
"Dead Shot," and will reap
pear in the charming Vande-
vile entitled .:The loan of a
lover" We anticipate even q
greater success than before, and
would like to see Brenllam rep
resented; a ticket can be Sc
cured for the senior or junior
of the BANNER, and we hereby
invite yonr severest criticisms.
The grasshopper panic had
visibly affected the lumber bus
mess in all its departments, or
ders had ceased, wagons could
not be paid because lumber
makers did not feel like making
large shipments on the prospect
of crop; the mill man could
not RIM without a certain amount
OF cash orders, consequently as
much uneasiness has been felt
here as in the more immediate
farming region.
Do Rivers ''timid'' colnpan-
ions in danger, and crisises of
great bodily exposure, should
now rally to his standard, and
enable him to sustain the repu-
tation he has heretofore enjoy
ed of gallant repartee.
Fine rains have visited this
entire section of country, over
which the farmers are jubilant,
crops are unusually late but
looking very pretty.

CROP PROSPECTS.

In our ride to and from Bell
vile, Friday and Yesterday, we
saw some beautiful crops. A
few farmers on Kentucky Ridge
and near Travis, have been Sc
riously damaged by the grass
hoppers. But their proprietors
are not demoralized by the dis
couraging circumstance. They
are planting over. The soil
being in excellent condition for
receiving the seed, the replant
will make fast time in growing,
and perhaps do better than the
earlier planting.
On the plantation of Elder
G. W. Harvey, we saw a field
of corn yesterday, which was
hall thigh high, and some stalks
nearly or quite hip high.
At and around Bellville the
grasshoppers have done little OF
no damage. Gardens look beau
tiful, and are very forward. AT
the residence of Hon. J. P.
Bell, where we dined Sunday,
there were snap beans, English
peas, and white head cabbage.
We brought home with us a
couple of potatoes grown by
him, which are six inches in
circumference, and tour inches
long.

The Tax Law.

The new tax laws, enacted by
the last Legislature, are but little
known; and for the benefit of
taxpayers we give it below:
1. The collector makes reports
and remittance quarterly.
2. The collector must post lists
of delinquents at the courthouse
door and two other places in the
county; sixty days afterwards he
can seize upon and sell lots and
land, or sufficient to pay the
taxes due thereon.
3. Before the day OF sale pro-
perty must be advertised in a
newspaper in the county for 8
weeks. Ii no newspaper, notice
must be posted thirty days at
the courthouse door.
4. 1t a city lot, enough shall
be taken off the corners IN a
square to sarist.y the claim.
5. The property can be pur-
chased by individuals, or the
state, county or city.
6. After the sale the collector
is empowered to give deed, which
shall be good.
Z. The owner of city lots or
lands has two years from the day
of sale in which to redeem pro-
perty, by rendering to the pur-
chaser his heirs, assigns or rep
resentatives, double the amount
bid and paid by. him.
s. The collector cannot dis
train till after the LIST of March
succeeding the assessment on
which tax dues are claimed
He cannot seize or sell lands or
lots for taxes due for 1876 until
after March LIST, 1877.
9. The homestead cannot be
sold for taxes prior to the date OF
the Constitution of Texas, but
can for the tax of 1876.
10. City collectors have the
same powers, and are governed
by the same rules as county COZ
lectors.
IL. Owners may claim to pay
back taxes upon the assessments
OF 1876.

oaks were venerable and grand,

the liquids of the springs were
pure and translucent. But Nat

these waters tasted. Perhaps
he didn't taste them.

PREPARE FOR THE FEAST.

The Volksfest to-day, we
trust, will be participated in by
all our citizens. For to-day and
to morrow, let business cares
be locked out of the heart, and
customers locked ont of the
stores. A man who devotes his
time and energies to business,
through the year, can well af
ford to give himself and his en-
l, ployees a b~ief respite from the
cares, tatigues and labors of
life, and enjoy the invigorating
tonic afforded by pleasant recre-
alton. Such coure, may save
a Doctors bill. The human
machinery requires occasional
relaxation. 1t will not do to
keep the bow always bent. 1t
it is attempted, as every body
knows who remembers his boy
hood pastimes, the bow soon
loses its elasticity, and becomes
useless property. So too, man
to retain his best powers, men
tai and physical, unimpaired,
must sometimes check up.
Then let us all to day, Amer
leans, Germans and their de-
scendants, throw ourselves on
the bubbling stream so inviting
ly prepared for our passage into
the rosy realms of pleasure, and
enjoy, without stint, a generous,
soul inspiring respite from
"carking care"
Long may the Volksfest be
observed and honored among
our people, and thoroughly in
terwoven with our customs.

In the first few days of warm
weather the temptation to begin
garden operations ottens gets
the better of a prudent regard
for the condition of the soil.
Too much care cannot be used
to prevent the working of ground
that is at all sticky. The bak :
ing that will result will injure
the soil for years. Ground stir
while wet late in fall or in mid
winter will take little, if any,
harm, as the freezing before hot
or dry weather comes prevents
the caking. but if once "pud-
died" and so dried several win
ters' frost will Ae required to
reduce the brick-like mass to
friability.
