B. A. Mayor arrived Monday after
noon from Fairmont, where, in company
with J. A. Bates, he had been witnessing
the field trials of the National Kennel
Club for three days. Mr.. Mayor saw
noted sportsmen from all parts of the
U. s., and also many valuable prize dogs,
some of them rated at a $1,000. The trial
was still in progress when the above
gentlemen left.
Our old friend and pioneer barber,
Tip Bullock, has rented the little room
adjoining the post-ofice on the west, and
is putting it in repair for first-class bar

running order Saturday, and will hence

his own name alone. His former partner,

at the old stand under the Mower County
Bank. Success to both shopsl 49,.

BAD BOYS The BANNER
learns from a responsible eye
witness that several, boys, whose
ages range from II to Ia years,
were practicing target shooting
with vertiable cartridge shooting
pistols in a secluded spot in the
Fourth ward a few days ago.
Some of the youngsters made
good shots, showing:.them to be
expert in the use of the gay
and festive pistol. Many of
the parents of these hopefuls
were no doubt laboring under
the happy delusion theat their
boy" was at school. 1t is said
by those in position to know
that a number Of Brennan boys
from 10 to ID or 10 years old
are in the habit Of going "heel-
ed" The practice is an abom-
Unable one and will certainly
lead to mischief. Parents who
suspect their boys of carrying
pocket artillery should make an
examination of their boys pock-
cts and boots after the young
sters so to roost. Bad boys as
well as good ones are sound
Sleepers.

NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-J. L.
Watson and H. L. Moore, pub
fishers Of our esteemed contem-
porary, the Independent, have
dissolved partnership, as ap-
pears by notice in that paper,
Saturday afternoon. The bust
ness in the future will be car
ried on by J. L. Watson, w. P.
Ewing and w. D. Cochran,
under the firm name of Watson,
Ewing & Cochran. The junior
members of the firm are both
young and talented, and are,
we believe, just starting out in
life. Mr.. Ewing is a native of
Brennan, and. Mr.. Cochran Of
Austin county. They have
chosen a useful as well as hon
orable profession, one in which
success is assured, to the be-
ginner. Mr.. Watson, the SEN
Tor of the hrm, is a polite, affa-
bic and popular young man,
and his confreres are both very
popular. The BANNER cordial
ly welcomes the Juniors into the
journalistic field, and it hopes
they may always find their
newspaper pathway strewn with
the choicest flowers.

FEST AND SCHooLs.-It is
stated that the children of the
public schools will not take part
in the Mai Fest procession on
Friday. This is to be regretted
as games for children have been
made part of the programme
and it was the intention of the
committee to admit all the
school children going out in the
procession free of charge. No
more interesting feature Of the
procession can be imagined
than seeing three or four hun
dred happy chill dren in holiday
attire marching to the Fair
grounds for days holiday and
pleasure. The schools have
participated in every Mai Fest
for the past FIVE or SIX years
and to miss them on this occa-
sion would certainly be a dis
appointment. If the children
can be got out in no other way
they might go out in wagons,
if any means Of procuring them
can be devised. 1t is hoped,
however, that the determination
not to join the procession will
be reconsidered.

BAPTIST churches in the south
are divided into two classes,
first and second, being rated
according to the ability Of the
congregations to pay. All the
6rst-class churches pay the trav-
cling expenses of their pastor
when on business connected
with the church. The BRENNAN
Baptist church being frst-class
it pays the expenses of the pas
tor, Rev. DIR. c. c. Chaplin, who
in company with Mrs. Graves,
Mrs. Frank Robertson, and
Miss Josie Goodlett, will leave
on Thursday to attend the
Southern Baptist Convention at
Greenville, S. C., and from
thence the party goes to New
York to attend the Northern Bap
tist anniversaries. DIR. Chaplin
is president of the Texas Baptist
convention and represents that
body at the meetings above
mentioned. The New York
board of northern anniversaries
has very kindly donated the
handsome sum of three thous-
and dollars for the benefit of
Southern Texas, the money to
be expended by the Baptist
State Convention.

PIcNlc.- Friday the various
Sunday schools of this city,
their teachers and the parents
and friends Of the pupils, held a
union picnic Watson's pasture
on the banks of Woodwrad's
creek. The picnic was largely
attended; there was an abund-
ance of good things to eat, also
lemonade and ice cream and so
far as we were able to learn the
day was one of unalloyed pleas
ure; the weather was all that
could be desired, neither too
hot nor too cool, and there was
neither wind, rain or dust. This
picnic was entirely different
from the one on Mill creek on
the Santa Fe road two years.
ago.

ANDREW Wolf, whose ex-
ploits as a smasher of buggies
while driving an OK team were
duly recorded the other day, en-
tered into a written agreement
with the city to pay all damages,
provided he was not prosecuted
on a charge of drunkenness.
Saturday, he came to town and
paid Rev. Mr.. Mitchell $40 and
Rev. L. P. Tucker S., in full
settlement of the damages to
their vehicles. He also paid 81
for feeding his oxen. There
may be fun in getting drunk
and trying to drive an OK team,
but there is no money in smash
ing buggies.

CROPS AND CoTToN.-Mr. J.
M. Byrns, who is paying special
attention to the cotton crop, fur
nishes the following report: The
weather for the past ten days
has not been so favorable. Rain
is needed badly, and some cot
ton is suffering a little. Some
of the cotton planted lately
needs rain, to bring it up. The
dry weather having temporarily
suspended farm work, the farm
ers have taken advantage of the
spare time, to bring in the REM
nants of their cotton crop, and
receipts have been very good,
averaging one hundred bales a
day. A good rain now would
be of immense benefit, and
would greatly improve the pros
poets for a good crop.

Patriots.

A BANNER commissioner the
other afternoon drilted into con-
versation with prospecting
prospective patriot, who was
probing the possibilities and
premeditating the practicability
Of presenting himself promi-
nently before the public for the
position Of sheriff. The p. p. p.
proceeded to say that at pres
ent, as near as he could count,
there was already twelve pros
pective candidates for sheriff
loose and at work, while he sup
posed that the woods was liter
ally full of other candidates that
have not yet got into condition
to come into the clearing. The
county has perhaps twenty-five
or thirty men who would be
willing to accept the Office of
sheriff. The wise man always
takes time by the forelock, and
in this case taking time by the
forelock is announcing their de-
sires in the BANNER, which pa
per is universally read through
out this and adjoining counties.
1t will cost no more to announce
now than it will a week before
the election. The BANNER is
well crowded with paying adj
vertisements, but it will en-
deavor to make room for all
announcements that are paid for
cash in advance. An announce
ment in the BANNER puts man
fairly and squarely before the
people and the only thing more
that is required is a sufficient
number of votes-these we are
not prepared to guarantee.

PUBLIC ScHooL.-Prof. Hand,
superintendent Of the public free
schools informs the BANNER
that the total enrolment Of pu-
pills since the list Of September
last is o2o and that last week
the average daily attendance
was 72o, which we think is re-
markable large considering the
season of the year. All the
rooms on the school grounds
are comfortably full and some
of them are very much crowded.
Mrs. Beaumont's room, an
apartment only IS feet square,
has 81 pupils and Miss Hynes'
room is also uncomfortably
crowded. From froty to nifty
pupils in the maximum number
allowed to a teacher in the well
regulated graded schools. The
ladies are doubtless doing
their best, but they have more
children in their rooms than
they can possibly attend to.
and in addition it is unhealthy
for SO many to be crowded into
one small room. Brennan
needs a commodious brick
school house very badly, other
wise the schools are in a highly
prosperous condition.

SILK Culture.

For several years past Mr..
Chas. F. Herbst, of this city,
has been experimenting with
silk worms and has demonstra-
ted to his entire satisfaction
that they can be successfully
raised here; samples of cocoons
raised by him two years ago
were submitted to experts in
Philadelphia and pronounced
equal to the best. The only
drawbacks in the way was the
lack Of suitable food for the
worms. The Japanese and per-
haps other varieties ofmulberry
are best suited for them, as the
quality of the silk depends en-
tirely upon the leaves they are
fed on. Mr.. Herbst three years
ago planted a number of null
berry cuttings and now has on
his Silkville place, south OF
town, upwards of 400 mulberry
trees growing finely and
as large as a mans arm,
in addition to these he
set out this spring between
5000 and 10000 cuttings. AS
it is not a good plan to COM
merce stripping trees before
they are three or four years old
Mr.. Herbst did not raise any
worms this year, but next spring
he will endeavor to raise enough
to produce money result:
heretofore he has only expert
mented. Last year he gave Mr..
Jno. Alexander, of Washington
in this county. a number OF eggs
from which he raised cocoons
and also saved eggs; this season
he raised about 1000 cocoons
or about seven pounds OF silk,
but as he used bois d arc leaves
exclusively in feeding the worms
the cocoons are of inferior quail
ity, but the possibility ofraising
them is amply demonstrated.
The indications are so soon as
it is demonstrated that silk cul-
ture can be made profitable here
it will become one OF our per-
industries.

BAD LUcK.-A German nam
ed Wolf came to town Thurs
day with a load Of some kind
of produce on an ox-wagon,
drawn by one yoke of oxen.
Having no load to haul back
on the wagon he concluded to
load himself down with tarantula
juice, which he did and started
to drive home; at the parson-
age he ran. his wagon into DR..
Mitchell's buggy, upsetting it
wrecking the top; further on he
ran into Rev. L. P. Fuckers
buggy breaking the shafts,
springing a wheel and coming
very near ditching Mr.. R. Wolf
was taken in and bastiled. No
charge was preferred againsthim
and he will probably get off by
paying the damages, some SIS

that is now over waist high and
is Iaid-by, he has two hundred
and twenty-five acres of cotton
that has been worked twice and
and most of it has squares.
This shows what can be accom-
plished by work in the proper
time. Others could do as well
by pursuing the same course.

A WATcH.-On Friday morn
ing the BANNER reported the in
generation in the bastile Of an
unknown drunk and down.
When the d. and d. sobered up
he informed the marshal that
he had left his horse tied to the
rack at the courthouse fence
before getting himself filled
with bug juice. Enquiry was
made and no horse could be
found; the officer was satisfied
that the brute must have been
stolen; the prisoner was a pray
erful man, and he prayed to be
released in order to find his
horse: his prayer was answered,
and he started out to find the
missing horse; the supposition
now is that the horse is much
missed as the man has not yet
returned. He left four nickels
and a brass German-silver-
plated watch, the retail price of
which is from four to six bits a
bushel, depending altogether on
the demand for watches Of that
character. The question that
now agitates the mind of the
marshal is, what to do with that
brass German-silver-plated So
called watch.
