PUBLIC SCHOOLS Some
days ago We received a copy of
the fifth annual report of the
superintendent of the public
schools in the city of Brennan.
1t is a very neat pamphlet of
thirty-three pages from the
press of Frederick r. Carrick.
Mr.. ]. T. Hand is the superin-
tendent.. The following items
may prove of general interest.
The receipts for the year 1879
SO were sso63.o5, including the
balance of s3I5.SS on hand in
1879. The expenditures were
So6o3.S7 leaving a deficit of
s64o.s2 caused by the assessor
receiving in payment OF the
school tax, city warrants drawn
on the general fund. The en-
rollment for the year was $50
whites and Ala colored making
a total of $50.
The monthly cost Of tuition
by total enrolment is 70 cents,
and the cost of tuition per
month by average attendance,
per capita is 90 cents. "The
public school economy will
challenge comparison with any
system of schools, either public
OF private, and it is only likely
to be surpassed the ensuing
year in your own schools" says
the superintendent.
There are three white male
and six white female teachers
and five colorcd male and one
colored female teachers employ

THE BANNER is an old esta b.
lished, popular and modest news
paper; in fact, modesty is one
of its failings, still it has no
cause to complain, new sub
scibers and new advertisements
continue to roll in. Brennan
needs two or three papers that
are well muscled with wind, pa
pers that can publish long win
dy articles and blow a bugle
blast in their own behalf. For
the Banners part it is kept
busy collecting and publishing
news for IFS readers.

INDEPENDENCE. Sent. %

INDEPENDENCE, Sept. 22.
would give me great pleas
ure to, had the time, to draw
contrast between Texas and
Georgia. l have just returned
from a protracted visit to the lat
ter state, where l took particular
pains to look at the crops. The
old worn-out lands OF Georgia
have TO be fertilized before they
will produce cotton. The cot
ton in Georgia is from 6 to Is
inches high and the rows from
Is to "a inches wide and it will
take from 8 to ten acres to make
a bale. In Georgia and Ala
bama about 2-5 ola cotton crop
will be made. The people
seem to be in good spirits and
look as if they are all right and
afraid to come to the rich lands
of Texas. In Louisiana the
cane and rice crops are fine.
In Texas l found crops fine and.
about halfgathered. There will
be several families emmigrate
from Georgia to this county in
the fall. My advice to tenants
in Alabama and Georgia is,
come to Texas, S. N. ],

We have examined the poor
farm and find that paupers are
not properly cared for by the
superintendent; they are very
much in need of water, there
being no water on the farm.
The inmates complain that they
are not properly fed and they
are scantily clothed.
We call the attention Of the
commissioners court and desire
that they take some action in
regard to the county paupers.
We respectfully submit the
above report to your honor.
This 18th day of Sept. 1880.
