otism, and our city one whose handiwork is
seen in all its good developments.

to this, our great affection.
Resolved, 6. That as his life was control
ed by the principles of our order, and of

Local Correspondence.
From Independence.

Our pleasant little village pursues the
even tenor of its way. You have already
been informed of the closing exercises of
the schools here. As an outside spectator
we were impressed with the belief that Of
the graduating class of young men, ten in
number, there were some who would,
with proper energy, make their mark in
the world, and do hcnor to their alma
Mater"
In the graduating class was Temple
Houston. youngest sou Of Gen!.. Sam.
Houston. He is 4 young man of steady,
temperate habits, and hard student; he
won the ]. NJ. Williams medal for the best
logical speech on commencement day,
Temple steps out upon the battle field of
life with high aspirations, and We believe,
with energy enough to carry him through.
Baylor Female College sent out eight
graduates In their essays we thought
they did credit to themselves, and honor to
their preceptor. The essay read by Miss
Bessie Fickers on Money" evinced
much thought and logical acumen; it
showed that one woman at least, knew
more about money than simply how to
spend it. If was a young man, or
widower, would put on my prettiest looks
when she was about.
The z4,h inst being St. Johns day,
Milan Lodge No. II celebrated it by
public installation of officers; also very
instructive address on the antiquity, and
principles of Masonry by DR.. Crane, after
which dinner was served; then followed
the comforting the degree Of To Eastern
Star upon several ladies, by Bro. Wilson,
of Brennan. The officers for the ensuing
Masonic year are, DR.. S. F. Styles, w. NJ;
T. J.. Hairston, S. w; W. &. Wood,
J. w; G. J. Duncan, Treas, W. o. Nor
gan, Sec'y.; J. NJ. Crocklin, Tyler.
We have just had the pleasure Of mceing
Mr.. John Hudson, of Caldwell, a most ex-
cellent young man (heis not a candidate.)
We'll authenticated rumor says that ere
this month shall close, Mr.. Harry Haynes
will take unto himself oonsort.
We think from present indications few
more weddings are on the tapis.

Love Feast.-On Wednes-
day night there was another
love feast at the colored Metho-
dist church, at Chappell Hill.
Quite a number of black and
white Republicans were in at

supposed to have been enjoyed
by the party, as the blacks and
whites were out all night, and
were seen riding into town on
Thursday morning about sun
up. This is the list of the Bren-
ham mourners, as near as could
be learned. If any of the gen.
tlemen named were not thar"
we will make the correction:

JUSTICES Contributing the
last day or two the following
cases have been disposed of by
Justice Zurcher:
P. Ravers, a negro, was
charged with assault and bat
terry; whipping his wife. A
| friend of the woman's came to
town and made complaint. A
warrant was issued, Ravers ar
rested and four witnesses sum-
moned. Upon the trial the
woman swore that she wasn't
whipped, consequently the case
was dismissed. All this trouble
was for nothing there being no
trimmings in the case. Negroes
frequently make complaints.
but before the case comes up
for trial make friends, and by
refusing to prosecute have the
cases dismissed.
Halsey Munson, colored, was
up on a charge of assault with
intent to murder. There being
no evidence to sustain the
charge Halsey was dismissed.
Chas. Wesch, the man who
stole a watch from a hand at
Zeiss' brewery, was committed
ojail in default of 500 bond.
He will be tried by the county
court.
John Brooks, charged with
A." threatening the life of a human
being, waived an examination
and gave $500 bond for his ap-
pearance before the District
court.

SoME SNAKE.-A few DAYS

SOME SNAKE.-A few DAYS
ago, while Mr.. Otto Linderman
and friend were fishing on
New Years creek when
Mr.. L. was not a little surprised
at seeing a monster reptile
swimming across the pool to-
wards him. His friend was
busily engaged waiting for his
bob to take a bath and did not
discover Mr.. Snake until he
was making his way up the
bank, r'heu he dropped his
piscatoriai paraphernalia and
decamped. Mr.. Linderman de-
molished his snakeship with a
long pole. 1t proved to be a
monster Iattlesnake with IS
rattles and a button. Its length
over all is six feet seven inches.
Mr.. L. has the skin Of the rep
tile in his possession and is thus
prepared to give ocular DEM
onstration of the truth of this
snake story.

ALLlcAroR.--On Thursday, a
negro boy, about fifteen years
old, and about FIVE feet long,
made his appearance upon the
streets with a live alligator,
about four feet in length. The
alligatorwas carried by the tail,
and was quite lively. He 1.-THE
alligator) was an ugly looking
customer. The negro boy was
trying to sell the critter, but
could find no one who wanted
to buy a pet of that kind. The
boy said he caught it with his
hands, in the Brazos river, be-
low Chappell Hill.

GIDDINGS & GIDDINGs.-As
much interest is manifested by
the public in consequence OF
the death of Mr.. ]. D. Giddings,
we called on Mr.. Hemming,
manager of the banking bust

done. MIR. Hemming requests
us to say to the public that, so

Pleasant Experience

Is always the happy result of using Parker.
Ginger Tonic. The mother gains surpris-
iIgly in health and strength by its aid, and
her babe thus obtains happy comfort and
peace that shows how wonderfully the
strengthened nervous and physical condition
of the mother reflects itself on her nursing
little one. II is rare comfort 20 have Ner-
vousness, headache and sleeplessness sub
dued as only this remedy can do ii, while
that destroyer of our little ones-Cholera In
fantum, and the dreaded Cholera, Dysen-
terry, cholera morbus, collie and cramps, are
shorn of their terrors and speedily cured by
this incompatible corrective and invigor-
ant. Buy from your druggist, R. E. Luhn
a dollar bottle, or sample bottle at fifteen
cents and test its merits.
