ONE of the largest planters in
this county,a gentleman whose
cotton crop will be upwards Of
a thousand bales, and who has
heretofore been in the habit OF
shipping his crop, said to a BAN
N2's repsrter that he thought he
would aeI H. en,;r. cr~r III
Breniam this season as he felt
satisfied that it would bring
more net cash here than it
would by shipping 1t. Persons
bringing cotton to Brenham are
at no expense whatever. If it
is worth 10 cents a farmer gets
$50 for a bale weighing 500
pounds, the buyer paying the
compress charges when he
ships it. If there is any injus-
tice in this or anything about
it that smacks of monopoly VIC
fail to sec it.

sxcst Mill Greek Turner's fst.

Mill creek turner's came off last
Saturday near Seidells store, in
this county. On account of the
inclcmency OF the weather dur
ing the day the attendance was
rather small-therc not being
more than one hundred aud fifty
persons on the ground; but,
those who were present amused
themselves with games, social
conversation and beer drinking
until IL NJ. when the Alamo
Turner's arrived and were APP
propriately received by the La
bahia and West mill creek turn
ers, accompanied by band Of
music. During the day thefes-
tivities were materially interior
red with by showers of rain,
driving the ladies to the restau-
rant while the turner's sought
shelter at Wendtwain's beer
stand, where they amused
themselves in singing popular
German airs and drinking beer
at intervals.
At ? o'clock the exercises
were opened by ten juvenile
turner's, all Of whom were award
ed prizes in value according to
merit-Carl Beberstein receiv-
ing the first prize.
At 2 I-2 o'clock came the
test between the Mill creek
turner's, Labahia prairie turner's
and the Alamo turner's OF this
city. Messrs. II. Muller, A
Haubold and ]. G. Ranki,i were
chooses as judges. Their entire
exercises were goOd-all ac-
quitting themselves well, giving
evidence of thorough practice.
The following three gentlemen
were declared by the judges as
e,>titledto the prizes: Ist prize,
VIM. Stuckert, Alamo turner's;
End prize, L. Fuchs, Labahia
turner's; 3rd prize, A Kieke,
West Mill creek turner's.
The balance of the evening
was devoted to games for chill
dren, climbing the slippery pole,
&c. Thirteen boys climbed the
pole to the top and received
prizes for the same.
About 6 o'clock P. NJ, the
weather cleared up and people
began to arrive upon the
grounds quite freely. AT sun
set dancing on the platform
commenced and lasted, until
sunrise next morning. Every
thing passed off very pleasantly
until about II o'clock when
general free fight took place,
lasting for about one hour, in
which several participants re-
ceived few bruises, being
caused by coming in too close
contact with some other fellows
fist.
Quite number of candidates
were on the ground and as they |
were literally inclined, beer
found a ready sale and rapid
consumption-though we be-
lieve they all claim to have re-
turned home duly sober.
We regret exceedingly to
have to state that some of the
BreEham turner's did not con-
duct themselves in strict accor-
dance with the rules of etiquette.
and decorum. They were the
guests of that association and
should have had higher regard
for the rules and regulations of
the same. Boisterousness is to
be condemned always, especial
ly in presence of ladies. They
should remember that kindness
and gentlemanly courtesy costs
but little ard is always COM
mendable.

The building on the corner
Of Ant and Quitman streets was
owned by +. Busse, and was DC
cupicd by him and Geo. Rcitz,
Busse occupying the corner as
a family grocery store, while
Reitz had a barber shop in the
southern half. Most of the
stock was removed as was
Rcitz's furniture. Busse had an
insurance of $500 in the AItna
on building and stock. Rcitz
was insured for $3.50, which
will probably cover his losses.
The building was Il total loss
and was worth perhaps 5000.
Adjoining Busse was the
building owned and occupied
by Geo. Eckles as barroom;
it together with the fixtures was
a total loss. Insured in Ian
cashire company for $1,000, on
building, stock and fixtures,
which was probably all it was
worth.
E. Kamien and ]. Jannasch
occupied the building next door
to Eckles, it being divided by
partition. Kanicn used his
portion as d dwelling and
grocery store. He saved most.
of his effects but had no insur-
ance. Jannasch had his shoe
maker shop in his portion OF
the building. He saved por-
ton of his stock. He was in
sured in the AItna for $500.
The building was the property
of f. Busse, but whether in
sured or not we could moi
learn.
Thu fourth and last building
was occupied by c. +. ;Theilau,
as a small grocery storc-no
insurance. The building was
the property of Mr.. Thomas
Dryer.
A detachment OF the Bren-
ham Greys was out and did po-
lice duty in guarding the pro
p9rty rescued from the build |
ings, though some one who
wanted to practice stealing, |
carried a part ola barrel of on
ions off to the north side of the
public square, distance Of two
blocks, and left them.
Eckles had been in the habit
Of keeping his bar open all
hight, but on Monday night he
closed UP at twelve o'clock.
There are various conjcctures
IS to the origin of the fire, the
prevalent opinion is that it was
he work of AN incendiary. The
,rand jury being now in session
will investigate the matter.
The entire loss of property and
will in all probability
lot exceed $4,000.

SPIKE TEAM. "A colorcd gen

team that would set James
Gordon Bennett wild with envy.
The turnout consisted of a
tumble-down shackely cart
made of the fore wheels of sec
ond hand OK wagon, while the
team was three lean, lank and
hungry donkeys, whose ears
were half as long as their bodies.
The harness on the animals was
fully in keeping with their bodi-
ly condition and the appearance
of the cart. The turnout did
not attract any attention in
Brenham, but on Broadway.
New York, it would have drawn
an unusual crowd.

ALLEGED ROBBERY A Ger
man named John Lange, living
on Mill creek came to town
and sold some cotton, after
which heproceededto'wood up
till he raised about SO pounds
of steam; his safety valve being
set TO blow off at 100. He star
ted home in this condition, but
after going a mile or two lie re-
turned TO town and reported
that he had been met on the
road by two negIocs, and that
altar tussel in which he fired
seven shots from his revolver he
was robbed, by them, of sI25,
aud that he had shot one of the
negroes in the hand. NTessrs.
Gee. and Baine, deputy sheriffs,
went out to where the robbery
was alledged TO have taken
place, but could discover no
sign of a struggle having taken
place. They also inquired at
neighboring houses, but no
shooting had been heard by the
inmates. The man continued
to take on wood and fire up,
telling different stories in re-
gard to the robbery. The sub
stance of the story is, Lang got
drunk and lost his money.

A little before one O'Clock on
Tuesday morning an alarm Of
fire supplemented by i bright
light in the center Of the city
aroused sleepers and brought
the male portion Of our popula-
ton hurriedly 10 town.
The fire was discovered in
the rear of George Ecllcls' bar
room on Ant street, next door
to the corner ofQuitman street.
The building was an old and
dry frame and by the time the
alarm was given and the fire
department arrived at the scene,
the flames had gained consld-
crablea Roadway, the en-
tire building being envclop-
cd in flames. The night was
perfectly calm there beinghard-
ly a perccptatlc breeze, which
was very fortunate thing.
Eckels' bar was in one of four
old one story frame buildings,
the flames spread rapidly TO the
other buildings and by the time
the steamer began throwing wa
ter nothing could be done be-
yond preventing the flames
from communicating TO the 9th
er buildings in the vicinity, The
entire fire department was out,

CocKLE-BURs.-M Mr.. Jno. II.
Grabow, a successful farmer and
old subscriber TO the BANNER,
appeared at this Office on Sat
urday morning and in his hand,
as an olive branch, was one ofthe
the finest punches of cookie
burs imaginable. He said, as
passed by field ofvery super
Tor burs, he remembered read
ing about fine amber cane, corn
oats, millet, watermelons. gum
DO, string beans, big beets, ear
ly peas, tomatoes, pumpkins,
cucumbers, gourds, apples,
peaches, pomcgranites, red pep
pers, radishcs, tobacco, potatoes
and cabbage heads, but never in
all his reading had he heard of
fine cock|e-burs being brought
to a newspaper Office, and be
ing struck with the superior
quality of those in sight, he
concluded to pluck a specimen
and bring it in, but he wishes if
distinctly understood that they
did not grow on his farm. He
is certainly entitled to "honora-
BILE mention" for the originality
of the idea. 1t always affords
the BANNER pleasure TO make
mention of the choice products
of its farmer subscribers, even
including cockle-burs.
