HAPPY AGAIN. The city
marshal was happy on Satur-
day. He caught a simon pure
tramp. A white man pretend
ing to be lame has for several
days been prowling around the

insolently demanding food. The

but unable to come upon him
until Saturday, when he was
captured and inearcerated in the

AT the term just closed there
was but four convictions, viz
Jones for murder, Simpson,
keezee and Upshaw. An as
sault with intent to kill was re-
duced to a simple assault and
the defendant fined ST. There
was three mistrials in felony cas-
es and several acquittals. Sew
eral prisoners are still in Jail not
having been tried at all at this
term. The criminal term taken
altogether may be put down as
a failure. The expense incurred
is about $500. Although the
county attorney had ample
time TO get ready for trial in
several cases he was not ready.
The three mistrials do not speak
volumes in his praise. 1t is
said on the outside that crook
ed" juIors caused one mistrial
if not more.

THE HATcHEr.-On Mon
day night about 9 o'clock, a
negro woman who was on her
way home, was attacked by
another negro woman, who was
lying in wait for her at the gate
to Mr.. Thomas Dryers stable
lot on Sandy street. The am
pushed woman was arm ed
with a little Ratchet and struck
the other very severe blow on
the head cutting huge cash
in the scalp and, it is said, frac-
turing the skull. After the blow
was delivered the woman dis
covered she had struck the
wrong party and because of the
mistake hit her another lick for
being the wrong person. The
woman who did the carpenter
work escaped and has thus far
eluded arrest.-Cause jealousy.

CoTToN = GROCERIES, We
take special pleasure in calling
attention to the card Of Mr.. w.
D. Cleveland, of Houston. Mr..
Cleveland has been in business
in Houston for some years and
by his liberal dealing has made
hosts Of friends, His stock of
groceries is large and complete
and his prices are such as to
compete with any market IN
lhe South. He also pays spec
ial attention to handling cotton
and it is claimed that Houston
offers a Superior market on ac-
count of the low charges. We
can confidently recommend Mr..
Cleveland to such of our read
ers as may wish to ship their
cotton or buy groceries.

As UsUAL.-On Wednesday
night a colored female, whose
character is as far from that of
Caesars wife as the antipodes
are apart, went to the mayors
residence, and swearing out a
warrant, had William Price,
Esq, a ,colored gentleman, ar
rested for some imaginary
crime. Price, Esq, spent the
remainder of the night with the
fleas in the bastile. The mayors
court was opened with all the
pomp and circumstance usual
on such occasions. Price, Esq,
was brought into the presence
of the mayor, but the complain
ant being duly called, made de-
fault and failed to appear. Price
was admonished to depart with
out day, and the officers mourn
cd the loss of prospective trim
mings.

EDITORS BANNER -

EDITORS BANNER -
Not a line from any of your correspon-
dents in the last BANNER. l reckon they
have all wiited during the heated term-too
hot to write-but the editors of our paper
must get up something entertaining, if they
are sweltering in their sanctum, what does
ii matter to u.s. It's they make their living,
and if 1 have not paid up my subscription
yet, it does not matter, editors have an easy
time anyhow-the get the first and last
messes of roasting-ears, basket of the
reddcst peaches, the biggest Watermelon
and sometimes the biggest potato. Then,
Of course, the generous editor will give the
liberal donor a puff in his paper,-that
don't cost much, only a little spaceis occu-
pied that might be filed with an advcrtis-
ment worth FIVE dollars, which would puff
out considerably the editors depleted
purse; but then, if editors want to be popu-
lar, they must be generous and not stand on
little things. In a word, we want first
class paper with good deal of originality,
choice selections, all the news of the day,
both at home and abroad,-want as few
advertisements as possible,-but, most of
all, We want it to cost us as little as possible.
Now, hope l have not described the feel
ings Of many of your readers, yet it may
hit some of them. Then, il the people of
Washington county would have paper of
which they may be justly proud, let them
remember that labor and material cost
money, and, however generous may be its
editors, they must be sustained by liberal
paying patronage
Our first bale of new cotton came in yes
terday. 1 understood the owner did not
get bid on it. One merchant said he did
not suppose there was money enough
among them to pay for it. reckon he
didn't owe any of them. Farmers COM

SECRETLY. fhe Embellishments
anaSfarviAists repaired to the
Testsra part of the hall
With R, J. Moore, ,colorcd,
as chairman and Ed. Lockett
as SECRETARY. A cry was raised
to make the "He Bear" chairman
of the whole meeting; the oppo
sition wanted the same distinc-
ton for Moore. Everybody
talked and yawped and hand-to
hand conflict was imminent.
The city marshal appeared on
the scene and commanded
peace. A committee on con-
ference consisting of three on
each side was appointed. The
committee and their fuglemen
retired. Grandilquent speeches
were made and an incessant
gable was steadily maintained.
After an absence of two hours
the committee returned and re-
ported that they couldn't agree.
a proposition WAS now made
to reorganize the two conven-
tons again. Meantime the
principal candidates busted
themselves holding consulta-
tons with the delegates. Thus
the time was delightfully."- pass
until the sun disappeared be-
hind the western horizon and
sable night eveloped the earth
in darkness almost equal to
that of the convention. Itwas
then mutually agreed to adjourn
till 9 o'clock this morning. A
cursary count showed about IS
pale faced delegates, many of
them candidates and forty or
fifty negroes present.
On the part of the Klaeden-
istic wing. Steve Hackworth,
Johnny O'Riordan and Jim But
lerbobbed among the delegates.
The MISUNDERSTANDING
wing had its feathers plumed by
Hutchinson and Harvin in pei
son, with r. S. Booker as acting
assistant, adjutant general and
aid-de-camp; the trio made
themselves very busy among
the delegates. At the begin
ming ofthe lovc-feast all except
delegates were excluded from
the floor. At times during the
proceedings the scene. beggared
description and perfect pande-
monium reigned supreme. The
fun will be resumed this morn
ing. The nights caucus will
probably determine the fate of
many ofthe aspirants for negro
suffrage.
