WHEAT.-Mr. J. v. Matson,
ofthe Long Point neighborhood
has a small crop of rust proof
wheat now ready to harvest. 1t
is stated that several farmers in
that neighborhood and in the
vicinity of Burton have small
crops or patches of wheat. Mr..
H. KNITTED. of Burton, has
bought a thrashing machine for
neighborhood use. The practi-
cability of raising wheat has
time and again been demon
strated, but for some reason
farmers do not raise it. Per-
haps they are waiting for a mill
to be built. Wheat can be sold
at Austin, Houston or Calves
ton, and whenever it is shown
that wheat will be raised here,
men with capital will be found
to put up a mill. The advan-
tages of Brennan as a site for
Touring mill have frequently
been alluded to in these
columns.

The oat crop in this vicinity

here: Grass worms are devour-
ing cotton in Mr.. B. G. Sayles'
plantation. Crop prospects are
by no means flattering in this

In the proceedings Of the
mayors court will be found the
names of Mrs. Buckow anG
Mary Buckow charged with
vagrancy, They arrived on the
night train from Houston Tues.
day night and put up at the
Central house registering as
from Mobile. A detective from
Houston Swallowed the couple
to Brennan and posted the
nifiht police, telling them to
look out for them. After
breakfast. Wednesday the ladies
started out on a begging expe-
dition. Mrs. B. is a woman of
about 20, Mary is about IS or
10 and is said to be quite pretty.
She claims to be the old wo-
mans daughter. The elder one
did the begging here, claiming
to be in distress and on her
way to meet her father in wes-
tern Texas. When arrested
she had a hand satchel with
seven or eight dollars in small
change in it. They paid their
hotel bill in dimes and nickles.
AT the hotel another satchel or
gripsack was found and in it a
seven-shooter loaded to the ut
most capacity of the chambers.
1t appears that the couple ar
rived in Galveston on Sunday
or Monday and put up at the
fremont House, the best hotel
in the city. In Galveston the
girl did the begging and was
quite successful, raising a con-
siderable sum ofmoney. Crook
edness being suspected they
we're arrested and run out of |
own. They then went to Hous- |
:on and must have spent Tues |
lay in that city; from whence |
hey came here, only to get
INTO trouble. Both are well |
iressed and when put in the
'astile the elder one lighted a
wax taper and getting on her
,nees engaged in prayer
he said she Always pray
d when in trouble and
laimed to be a Roman Catho-
&c. When on trial in the may
RS court she also prayed a few
erses, emitting the ceremony of
Citing the candle. The elder
) an adept and has been in
curt before; she wanted to do
II the talking herself. From
he fact that they travel in good
lyle and always put up at the
est hotels it is evident that they
re in a lucrative business. Our
itizens innocently contributed
S or S. to their exchequer be-
IRE they were pulled.

1eings. No animals, he says, enjoy
a more comfortable life, or are better
cared for, than those we keep for food.
If we did not eat them, they would be
exterminated, for they wouldno be able
to take care Of themselves. Yet, in the
very sight of the wonderful animal hap
piness that they enjoy, 1.-THE sentiment

also be denounced for giving life, and at
the same time making death one of its
necessary conditions. Then, if the kill

far more extensive scale, ''for the boil
ing of cabbage involves the immola-
ton of innocent slugs and caterpillars,
and tens of hundreds of thousands OF
aphides are sacrificed in topping row
of broad beans, to say nothing Of the
millions of Colorado beetles that have
been mercilessly murdered in order that
ruthless, selfish man may satisfy his
greed for potatoes"
