than any other one community,
it certainly seems strange that
they should exhibit so much
apathy. Unless Galveston IN :
creases her railroad facilities the
prospects for her rapid growth
and the enhancement of the
valne otpropertT there certainly
seems to be very small. As
the BANNER has said repeatedly,
the people along the proposed
line of the road are not only
anxious TO see the road built,
but are willing to assist to the
extent of their ability in its
construction. To us it appears
that the initiative should be
taken at the terminus of the
road, Galveston, and until the
business men and capitalists OF
''natural advantages" prove
thir faith by their actions, they
certainly cannot reasonably ex
pect the people in the country
to take stock and invest their
means in an enterprise, we con
ceive to be of paramount impor-
lance to them. A total sub

made up in quality. Among the new

INV. Daniel i. Siurtcvant, one Of
our oldest citizens, died on Saturday
last, after an illness of two weeks,
caused only by sudden cold. Mr.. Stur-
tevant was born In this town, and has
always resided near the place of his
birth. lie has always been straight
forward, honest, upright man in his
dealings with his fellow-mcn. Though
subsisting only on the reward of hard
labor, he was ever ready TO help with
what he had to spare. AS d neighbor
he seldom had an equal for accommo n
ton In all the smaller things that make
IT desirable TO dwell near such q one.
lie was converted to the faith of the
Methodist church when young, and has
always endcavored to walk in the way.
Circumstances connected with his fam
lily oftcntimcs rendered it hard to carry
the standard of the cross as high as he
otherwise would have done, but his
faith was no doubt well founded, and
although aware of his impcrfections, he
trusted in the Great Sacrifice for the
victory which came to him in the hour
of dissolution. lie passed away as dies
the spent wave along the shore. He

closing exercises of the school
i'll District No. 0, taught by Miss Con-
nelly, were held at the Methodist church
on Thursday evening of last week.
Quite large audience was present con-
sidcring the state of the roads. The
speaking was creditable to both teacher
and student. Very little prompting
was done, and they all came promptly
to the stage and acquitted themselves
with honor. Mention might be made
of some parts in dialogues and even
single pieces, that would have done
credit to speakers of more training, but
we pass the whole as a success. Some
fine tableaux closed the entertainment.

spersed with music: Prologue, John A.

AT the rehearsal for the entertain

tanning five dollars in money and sew
eral valuable papers, stolen by Butler
Robbins, young lad of twelve years of
age. lie was arrested on Monday last
and held for trial which, came off on
Wednesday. He stontly denied his
guilt through it all, and tried to put on
an injured air.S lie would have got free,
possibly, only he told a companion
day or two previously what he had done,
and what he had done with the money
and purse; but when his friend testified
what had been told him, and the purse
was brought into court he gave in, and
was sent to the State Reform School. II
is hoped others will follow soon.
