CALL FOR a COUNTY NOMINA-
TING CONVENTION.

a convention of the Democratic party of
Washington county will meet at the court
house in the city Of Brennan on Saturday,
September 9TH, 1878, at II O'Clock \. NJ,
for the purpose of making nominations for
county officers, and for such other purposes
as to the convention may seem proper:
The Democrats in tie several justices
precincts are recommended to hold their
primary meetings on Saturday, August II,
10 select delegates to the county conven-
ton as above called. Some confusion and
dissatisfaction having arisen in previous
county conventions, from the fact of sepa-
rate delegations claiming representation
from the same precinct, il is hoped that but
one meeting will be held in each precinct,
and but single delegation will be sent
from each.
Each precinct will be entitled to one
vote in the county convention for every so
votes cast therein for the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor at the general election in
1876, and one additional vote for any
fraction of fifty votes over twenty-five
For the purpose of perfecting the organ
ization Of the party, it is further recon-
mended that the several precinct meetings
should appoint permanent chairman and
such other officers as may be necessary,
and that such steps be taken with regard to
nominating precinct officers as may seem
to them proper. 1t will also be competent
for such meetings to organize one or more
Democratic clubs at each voting precinct
in their several Justices precincts.
II is believed tina, with thorough organI-
sa,ion, and reasonable degree of energy.
the county may be entirely relieved Of the
thraldron and lnisrule whicl; has hitherto
oppressed US.
BY order Of the Democratic Executive
Committee for Washington county.

| am fearful that you will find our little
village has but little news. You rarely
ever hear anything but politics discussed,
and not being interested, pay but little at
tention to it. We have lost two of our
Washington ladies in the last month, whose
loss We deplore very much. Mrs. Oar
den and Mr.. Tom McCown were mar
ried on the 2Ist and left Immediately after
the ceremony was over for his residence at
Tow Ash, Hill county. didn't object to
Mrs. Darden marrying, but most certainly
did object to her leaving us, as our circle
seems almost incomplete without her.
Miss Jessie Alexander and Mr.. John Farris
were married OH the 18th, and left on a
bridal tour for Austin and San Antonio.
l thinl; Mr.. Farris should think himself
highly complimented and very fortunate In
carrying off the prize, as there were several
competitors in the field. Twas not present
at the marriage, as there were no invited
guests excepting DR.. LeGrand and wife,
and Mr.. Spencer, the officiating minis
ter. l had the pleasure of eating some of
the cake and turkey, which was excellent.
l enjoyed a delightful visit last week from
Miss Fannie Reach, of Navaso,a, who is
stopping at Mr.. Aicxander's, and visiting
her old friends at this place. Having liv-
cd here for number Of years, and then
being OF ten or Twelve years, she observes
many changes in the old town; many of
our old friends have quit the busy Eaunts
and now occupy place among the dead;
others have been called away to fill their
mission in life. As we recall old memo
ries, scenes Of our childhood and school
days come crowding up in Our magma
ton. We are The same happy, careless
children we were ten years ago. .'Whata
precious gift memory Isl We live the past
over and judge how to improve the future
by the lessons we have learned.
Miss Leila Blake, from Houston, is now
on visit to her aunt, Mrs. Mary White.
Miss Bessie McCown left last week for
Round Rock, where she expects to remain
several weeks visiting her sister, Mrs. Her
rick. Miss Matte Smith is in our midst
again and We find her very pleasant add
ton to our little circle; we missed her very
much during her residence in Brenhan, and
are happy in having her with US again.

OwLIsMs.-On last Saturday
the Owls. or Radicals, had a
meeting Of their county execu-
tive committee. The chairman.
Captain ~ Jack Lands, a color
ed gentleman, had the greatest
difficulty in maintaining order;
and, it is said, did not succeed.
The meeting was very bolster
Gus; every Owl present, black
and white, had something to
say. The final result of the very
stormy session was. that they
could not agree upon any dehn-
lite plan of action. On Saturday
night and lasting until daylight
Sunday morning, there was an
informal meeting of the Office
seeking owls and their strikers
held at a wet grocery" This
meeting was much more disor-
derby than that held in the at
ternoon, Tarantula juice, bug
Juice and snake medicine was
dispensed with j lavish hand
and numerous fights were in
dulged in; several heads were
more or less bruised, and one
negro had to take his head to a
doctor for repairs, it having been
damage by i blow from a stick.
y number Of the white owls
were at the night meeting, and
it is said, several Democrats
were looking ON as spectators.
The informal meeting was worse
than the regular one.

COUNTY CoSvETIoN.-E Else
where appears the call Of Maj.
B. H. Bassett, Chairman of the
County Democratic Executive
Committee, for a county con-
vention to be held on Saturday,
the 9TH day OF September next,
1t the courthouse in Brennan.
The call is so full and explicit
as to need no explanation. 1t
is to be hoped that full delcga-
ton will be present, and that
the action ofthe convention will
be such as 10 meet with the
hearty support Of the people Of
the county.

THERE arc 4 number Of white
men seeking Office at tine hands
of the colored people. These
men depend solely on the color
ed vote for their election. They
know that the intelligent tax
paying white men of the coun-
ty will not vote for them. They
go to night meetings, put their
arms around the necks of ne
groes and pat them on the back.
They try to buy their votes by
giving them pieces of fat meat.

Nor LovELY.-The Owl love
feast at Gay Hill on Thursday
was by no means lovely. At
the dinner some kind of 4 fri
cassce was served up under the
name of "owl gizzards fowls
have no gizzards) and partaken
Of freely by the colored breth-
rem. The day was oppressively
hot, and in the evening politics
and whiskey were literally
served up. In consequence of
this conglomeration Of mental
and physical food, some of the
colored gentlemen became mix
ed up in row, and for a time
the quiet spectators supposed
they were at Lanigan's ball and
not at a love feast. The num-
Der of fights was not reported.
We did not learn that any one
was severely damaged.

Owl AND CHICKEN On
Thursday night. about l2-or
more--o'clock, 4 eolored Owl,
who had been to the Gay Hill
love feast, brought a saddle
horse back to a certain stable
on West Sandy street. An cx-
animation of the saddle by day
light revealed the presence of a
nice, fat, plump, ycllow-lcgged
chicken snugly tied to the pom
mel. The owl had evidently
forgot about his chicken when
he arrived at the stable.

Death has again visited our community
and claimed WILLIAM c. TRAYLoR as his
victim. He has been taken away in youth
ful manhood, leaving young and devoted
wife TO mourn his loss; while true sympathy
finds response and flows out from the
hearts OF a host of friends toward the be-
reaved widow; yet her WILLIE has gene
to minglc. with the bright and pure of
heaven. Sad j, is TO give up our dear ones,
but the sweet echo comes to us whispering,
It's but one more link added to the golden
chain that binds US to heaven.

ROBBERY On Wednesday
