The following from the Dali
las Herald is as applicable to
Brennan and the surrounding
country as it is to Dallas:
Let every man and woman
see to it that within the next
week, his or her name shall have
been handed in to the census
enumerator for the ward in
which he or she may reside.
This is a duty that every good
citizen will take the greatest
pleasure in discharging, fo- we
wish to have recorded as large
population as shall be possible
for Dallas. There are impor-
tant matters depending upon
this question of population, and
unless we show the requisite
figures we may lose certain priv
ileges that we now have. Don't
wait for the enumerator to call
on you, but hunt him and see
that you are registered.

An Atlanta Entrrnrise.

From the Atlanta Constitution March ~ lssn,
Atlanta Is certainly an extraordinary
city, and her rapid and substantial growth
and prosperity is as much wonder 10 the
outside world as it is the pride and graft
tca;ion of her citizens. We Eavc here IN
process Of rapid development some impor-
tant enterprises, Of which our people know
but little. This remark has been Sugges-
tex by the fact that this reporters attention
has been frequently attracted by dray loads
of goods, the boxes all OF the same size,
about II VI rs inches square. and all brand
cd simply as. 5. 81 In this We recognize
the trade mark ola well known medicine
which is being manufactured in Atlanta by
the ''Swift Specific Company" On in
quiry, we learn that this company was or
ganized in June 1870. with a paid-in-cap-
ital Of $4,000 and that Col. II. J. Lamar
is the president, +sT5l Mr.. ]. w. Rankin,
Secretary ard Business Manager. The
charter provides that the capital may be in
creased to any smount required TO coduct
the business. 1t may be of interest to our
people to know that this company are con-
Quoting business of considerable magni-
tude in Atlanta; that in the various depart
hiCutS ONSi lOitl pclsOuS alG CouSl1ntly
employed in the preparation OF as. s. s.
This inclndes the hands engaged in gath
airing the fresh roots ond herbs from the
woods, and those boiling, bottling, ship
ping, etc. 1t is remarkable that, having
been so little advertised, there should be
such a large demand for this article. The
reporter noticed shipments TO nearly every
important point in the country, from Maine
to TeXas-Nashville, Cincinnati, Toledo,
Milwaukee, Detroit New Orleans, Mobile,
Galveston, Dallas, Hot Springs, Arkansas,
and several parcels to more distant points.
In fact it seemed as though it was gong to
every city on the continent, and to hun
dreds Of towns where line has never been
printed about it. There is only one solu-
ton to this extraordinary demand. and that
it is the merit of the article: The high
character st the proprieters, the clond Of
witnesseswho testify to its curative prop
critics, and the rapidly increasing demand. I
leave no doubt on the mind of any reasona-
bic person that it is positive cure for the
pestferous disease. One prominent
physician OF this place says Of il: "Our
science has not made known a combination
equal to this for the purpose indicated"
Another says: .'The world ought to know
it"

Many persons are puzzled ia
understand what SUCH terms as
nails. "Fourpenny" means four
pounds to the thousand nails,
and @sixpennY" means six
peuads to the thousand and so
on. 1t is an English term, and
meant at first "tenpound" nails

but the English clipped it to
"ten-pun," and from that it de-

The Atlanta Constitution
thinks that there is a bright out
look for our cotton planters in
the almost complete failure of
the cotton crop in China. China
is a long way of, but an accident
like this always affects the prices
Of cotton in the European mar
kets. The Chinese require
several million bales Of cotton
for home use every year. 1.-THE
home crop fails they make up
the deficiency from India, and
the Indian export to England
falls off, and American cotton,
as a consequence, goes up in
price.

To be beautiful, buoyant and healthy,
the whole female constitution must MAIN

of life. Otherwise, no female can posi-

SUDDEN DEATH.

On Saturday morning at al
early hour report was spread
on the street that old man Camp
bell was dead. 1t seems that
David Campbell, who for the
past FIVE or six years has fol
lowed the occupation as janitor
came up town and went to the
office of Messrs. Shepard & Gar
rett, lawyers, to clean 1t up,
having a pass-key he did not
disturb Mr.: Shepard who sleeps
in an adjoining room. ME-.
Shepard's boot black came up
and in passing the law office
door observed Mr.. Campbell
seated in an arm chair with his
head thrown back and his arms
hanging loose by his side. The
boy calling to Mr.. Shepard
said, "lor Mr.. Shepard, I be-
lieves Mr.. Campbell is dead"
Mr.. Shepard Immediately went
into his Office and feeling Camp
bells pulse found it gone, he
sent for a doctor WHO as soon
as he saw Campbell pronounced
him dead. Campbell had just
finished cleaning the Office and
had apparently sit down to rest.
The deceased was a Scotchman
by birth and was one of a num-
Der of English immigrants
brought to Texas some years
ago; he had lived in Brenham
about 7 years and was quiet
and unobstrusive in his manner.
His age was about Il years.
The deceased leaves an aged
wife, and two married daugh-
tiers, living near Chappell Hill,
to mourn his loss. Justice Nc
Chung summoned a jury of in
quest, who after due inquiry
a verdict of death by |
heart disease.
His funeral will take place

June Is.

| Euitsts blnIltl'
Yesterday was quite an ex-
citing day in the Justices court
in this place. Early in the morn
ing a good many people came
to town, among them. +. L.
(Randle who hunted up his hon
or. J. J. Wyatt, justice of the
peace, and constable Gee, and
stated that a man. had been kill
ed at the race tracks near the
residence of T. J. Evans, on
Friday June II, and that as he
| )Randle) was on that day in
volved in a difficulty with Mr..
Jessie Muse and he thought a
shot from his (Randle's) pistol
had struck and killed the man
whose name was James w.
Russ, and that he (Randle)
wished a full, fair and complete
investigation of the matter.
1t appears from the evidence
that Muse began qurrel with
Randle and made the first ad-
vance on him, drew his pistol
and told Randle to draw and
same thinks Muse shot first,
while other witnesses think
Randle's pistol fired first, but l
think all agree that Muse began
the quarrel and that Randle |
seemed to avoid a difficulty and
asked Muse to explain himself
several times, and said two or
more times, that he had nothing
against Muse and did not want
a difficulty with him. Several
parties endeavored to keep
Muse quiet and out of the diff |
Guilty and one or more trends |
pushed him back but they final |
ly began the shooting and Muse |
was wounded on the right leg |
just above the knee. @ |
After hearing the evidence
his honor, J. J. Wyatt, remarked |
if the law would allow it he
would discharge Randle without !
bail but under Art, 273 of the
Code of Criminal Procedure, he
thought it was his duty to re-
quire bail bond, and fixed the
amount at five hundred dollars,
which Randle had no trouble
in making without leaving the
court room. do not think l
ever saw anybody appear to re-
greet anything more than Mr..
Randle, and his brother Jules
A. Randle, and suppose Mr..
Muse too regrets it, for his faith
er who is a good man and citi-
zen was here yesterday and met
the Handles very friendly. and
all seemed to sympathize with
the brother of the young man
who was killed, and should his
parents read this, l feel fully
authorized to say that they have
the sympathies of this COM
munity in their affection. The
evidence clearly shows that Mr..
Russ was a stranger to both par
ties, (Randle and Muse) and all
are fully satisfied that it was an
accidental shot that struck and
killed him, and here, l will add
that learn that Mr.. Russ was
about eighteen years old and
was very quiet sober and good
young man.
