DEATH OF Mr.. THOMAS ]

DEATH OF MR.. THOMAS j, LLOYD. We
regret to state that Mr.. Thomas j. Lloyd,
who has been the inmate of a sick room dur
ing the past winter, died on Wednesday
night last about o'clock, in the 47th year of
his age. Mr.. Lloyd was born two miles west
of this place, where his father still resides,
and was for several years extensively en-
gagged in the purchase and sale of lumber
He was very highly respected, and his death
will cause feeling OF deep regret among all
who knew him. He was twice married and
leaves one child, little girl, by his first wife,
who was daughter of Mr. Ezekial Hughes
formerly of this place, but now resident of
Iowa City. His second wife, daughter of
Judge Richard Jones, of the East Ward, a
very excellent and much esteemed lady. will
have the sympa.hies of all in her great be-
reavement.

BIG BOOST FOR NJ M'PIKE.-Nothing but
the wild hunt after Office in which we are
so earnestly engaged could ever have tempt
ed us to forget our innate modesty long
enough to give place TO the following kind
words of good cheer from the generous and
prolific pen of Brother Buckingham, of the
Altoona Ecenify Mirror, wLo has piled it on
so thick and strong that we are almost
tempted to'believe it was not ourself at ali
he had in his minds eye when he gave vent
to his feelings in this wise:
Our esteemed friend and fellow Journalist,
II. y. McPilIe, of the Cambria Freeman
wants ali his political friends to understand
that he does not intend TO strike his colors
even when ne dies, for he expects to run for
county treasurer this auh every time here
after until he makes it, if he has to make his
canvass as a carpet-bagger in the land where
Bob Iugersoll will never more trouble virtu-
ous and religious editors. Testing aside,
Mac. says:
We don't know who originated the rumor tnat
we had Withdrawn from the contest for County
treasurer but we are assured that such Il ru-
NOR was prevalent at Galitzin. aud probably
elsewhere, only a few days ago. 1t is proper to
say thBt there Is no truth whatever in the al
legged withdrawal our Intention being to firht
1t out on that line until the last armed foe rx-
plrGs,' unless it should happen, which is not at
all improbable, that we should have to do a lit
tie expiring on our own hook before the other
twelve or fifteen candidates have all received
their final quietus.
There is no use talking, Cambria Is booked
to elect Democratic treasurer every time
and this being the fact nothing bat the bas-
est lngratitude can push aside the claims of
Mr.. McPike. He has sdone more for his
party than any man in the county and de-
serves recognition. We hope to see him
make it, as he is good fellow a genial gem
tleman, an honest and capable man. Our
Galliizin friends may paste this in their
hats.

Editors Banner.
| notice in your last weekly
issue that you desire a cores
pondent from this place; and,
without any flourish of trum-
pets we make our bow to the
public, and offer You our SER
vices, though humble they may
be. Graball is situated in the
extreme eastern portion of
Washington county, and we
think we can say without exag-
geration that it is the best por-
ton of the county. Brennan is
distant about nineteen miles,
Navasota twelve miles, Court
ney six miles, and Washington,
slumbering in her quiet
beauty, six miles. The
Methodist church, known
as old Crock Island, is noted
in thed,istory OF early REVEALS
and old-fashioned camp-meet-
ings, which are now almost a
thing ofthe past. We have one
academy in the neighborhood
also called Rock Island" but
we regret to say it does not
seem to be flourishing. Our
colored brethren also have a
school, which is considerably
patronized. Crops are little
backward, but the farmers, de-
spite the low price of cotton,
are in buoyant spirits. Several
acres of wheat have been sown,
and is looking well. Of course
this is merely experimenting,
and if it proves successful a
considerable acreage will be
sown this fall. The only no.
table occurrence in the neigh
borhood recently was the
launching last Sunday evening
on the majestic Brazos by DR..
R. H. Butterfield of his most
beautiful yacht, "The Red War
rior." Truly did she walk the
waters like a thing of life, /" and
the shout that went up from the.
assembled multitude was really
deafening. Long live the gal
LIANT doctor was resounded from
the hills many hundred yards
up.the river. The doctor bore
his honors modestly, and only
bowed to this continued greet
ing. KENO.

There has been shipped by
express from BRENNAN to Hous-

18th 1877, to March 10th 1873,
SIS cases continuing 70, $40
dozen eggs" 1t will be seen
that the hens in this vicinity
have not been idle during the
winter. At an average Of only
ten cents a dozen, these eggs
would amount to s2634, equal
to the value of nearly 90 bales
Of cotton, at 9 cents per pound
In addition to eggs, large guam
titles of poultry, dry hides etc.
have been shipped. The total
value Of minor articles of pro-
duce shipped during the year,
amounts to large sum in the
aggregate.

Presbyterians have a aourishing
Sunday school, which seems to
be exercising good influence
in our neighborhood, as l note

Thirty-cisht Ruck shot Landed In
Negroes Body.

|
Some weeks ago a difficulty
| occurred between a negro nam
;; ed Bill Garrett aud his wife; the
result was a separation; this wo-
man subsequently took up with
another negro named Andrew
Rander. who lived on the Hall
Davis plantation, near Welcome,
Austin county. There had been
some skirmisliing between the
two men, Garrett on one occa-
sion having caught Rander, ar
his, CARROTS, house in bed with
his wife; he proceeded at once
to run kander off. About two
weeks ago Rander and the Gar
rett woman, who had been
living together as already
stated, came to Brennan
and bought some supplies
and : household goods. They
returned to the plantation
about dust; supper was prepar,
ed aud Rander, the woman and
another negro man were sitting
at the table quietly and COM
furtahly enjoying their rcpast;
just at this time man supposed
to have been Garrett slipped
up to the door and fired heav-
lily loaded shot gun. Holes to
the number of tllirty-eight were
madein Randers back killing him
instantly. The gun was fired at
shortrange andnelther oithe other
twoparties wereinjured. Garrett
was arrested on suspicion but
has been released on bond. As
the shooting was done after
dark it was impossible tc recoy-
nize the man.

DESERVED lT.-The Commls-
sinners Court at it's last session
displayed its wisdom in ap-
pointing one Wells, a negro, as
road overseer in the Washing
ton district. The other day
Wells was busily engaged in or
dering out hands to work OH
the road. He approached MIR.
Tom Evans, citizen of the
town OF Washington, and or
dered him to work on the road
at the same time saying. at
you don't 90 I'll make you"
Mr.. E. replied, stating that che
knew his business. The negro
then became very insolent, when
Mr.. Evans knocked him down
with afull grown axe helve. A
brother of the negro then
Clipped in, and stated what he
would have done under the cir
cumstances. and also used some
sancy language to a Mr.. George,
who took ont a knife. As soon
as the colored gentleman dlscov-
cred this, he recol!ected that he
had urgent business out Of town,
and lett OH the double quick.
The one who had partaken of
the axe-helve salve lett town
immediately after its application
TO his head. It seems that the
appointment of a negr5 road
overseer had an elevating ten
dency among the negroes gen
orally, and they were disposed
% put on good deal of "style."
1t may he remarked that there
are plenty of good white men in
the neighbor!ioo | who are COM
potent to manage all the road
work.
