in other words, you car

BILL PosTING.-Brenham has
some bill posters who knowing
that their deeds are evil go
forth at the dead hour of night,
when chicken thieves and
ghosts are abroad and paste up
bills and dodgers on door fac
ings, doors, shutters and avn
ing posts; much to the annoy
ance of the occupants of the
premises so defaced. As the
bill poster does his work at a
time he can not be detected the
party or parties in whose inter-
ests the bills are posted should
be heavily fined. If the city
has no ordinance against de-
facing houses by sticking up
bills, one should be passed
without any unnecessary delay.
Ifany one wants dodgers print
ed with neatness and dispatch,
and at BRENNAN midsummer
prices, the BANNER is prepared
to do it. N. B. No snide
work turned out at this office.

damage, while in others they
have denuded the plant of TO-
liage and the exposed bolls are
opening rapidly, comparatively
little being in the latter condi-
ton. In the Washington neigh
borhood the worms have done
no material damage. In the
west end Of the county from
Burton 70 Greenvine there has
been no rain for eight weeks,
yet the worms have appeared
but have not done any material

Peck's Sun Items.

A stage driver who drives the
stage from Argyle to Monroe skip
ped out the other day at Monroe
with sixty dollars entrusted to his
care by acripple to buy wooden leg.
When a man gets SO mean as to
steal the wooden leg from cripple
we are astonished to see him out of
politics.
The brewers of the country are
holding congress in Chicago this
week, and representatives of all the
Milwaukee breweries are in attend
ance. We trust that no deadlock
will occur, on account of the brewers
from Virginia, SO that the members
will pair off and 60 home, leaving
the body without quorum. How
ever, 1t is altogether probable that
the business Of the congress will be
done expeditlously and in court
eous manner The members are
brewers, not senators, and it is safe
to say there will be no calling each
other liars, with loud applause in
the galleries, causing the presiding
officer to bring his bungstarter down
and direct the sergeant-at-arms to
preserve order.
A Milwaukee fireman has invent
ed new fire engine, and those who
have had it explained to them say
there is no doubt about it. 1t will
drive all other fire engines out of ex-
istence, and is so simple that a little
child might easily mistake it for the
Wisconsin legislature.
A landlord who had been COM
planned to by tenant in regard to

We cannot believe some Of the
stories that are told of Boston girls,
and their worship of Culture, or
cult" as they have abbreviated it.
1t seems hard to imagine two Boston
school ghls. studying the theories Of
evolution and protoplasm and talk
ing about their young men acquain-
tances, and when one inquiries,
" How's his cult?' meaning his cul-
ture, the other replies that 1t is
perfectly mag" Somehow this does
not look feasible.
The bungling manner in which
criminals are frequently hanged has
checked sensitive people, and has no
doubt been a source of regreat to the
criminals. In hanging Jeliboff, one
of the assassins of the car, the rope
broke, and the executioner was given
one hundred lashes for his careless
ness. In this country, where the
rope breaks, the executioner is given
three hundred dollars, the same as
though nothing had happened.
However.if the sheriff is a gentleman,
he never fails to offer the condemned
man an apology.
