PORTABLE PRESSES
FOR
TRAVELLING COTTON GINS.

vIyHESE PRESSES are, beyond doubt, the best
I now known to the trade. They are snbstan-
TALLY made, and have little weight AS it is pos
sible to build press with the necessary strength.
They are convenient, and very rapid in packing.
Capacity seventy-five bales per day, weighing
500 pounds per bale Each Press is supplied with
the very best one e-and half inch manila rope,
by which the packing is operated. Two hands
can pack 500 pound bale in three minutes.
These Presses can be mounted on common farm
wagon, or the running parts of a thrasher, requl-
ring only four bolts to secure it to the wagon.
When mounted, it can be transported anywhere
as easily as q load of wood. A number OF them
were used in this county last season, giving en-
tire satisfaction. l submit the names or the par
ties who operated these Presses last season, VINO
are we'll known as reliable and truthful men, ana
will, at any time, confirm my assertion OF the
claims of the superiority of this Press over any
other known in the United States or elsewhere

I also furnish Stationary Cotton Press for Gin
Houses, made on the same principle as the Trav-
cling Press, but at much less cost. Mr.. j. Lean
der Parish used onein his ginning establishment
last season, and is highly pleased with It, and has
said and will say it again, that he can pack pale
in less time than he could run up his old screw.
Ask him and he will speak for himself.
would suggest to parties who may want one
of these Presses to leave their orders as early as
possible, as have heretofore been unable to sup

Crop prospects are fine

BowERSVlLLR, May II.
Editors Banner:
We had Il beautiful rain yes
terday which will be of great
advantage to corn now in roast
ing ear, some of which we
have in this vicinity. Cotton is
looking well and all in good con-
dition in this neighborbood.
Many hands are seeking en-
ployment and finding none;
health is good.
Mr.. Y. P. Bowers is having a
new press put up and his gin
repaired and will have a new con-
denser soon so as to be ready
for the expected crop of cotton.
Farmers are buoyant with hopes
OF a grand crop this year.
Two brothers named Buchan-
an were arrested by deputy
sheriff Smelser, several days
since at their home in Burleson
county, on the charge Of robbing
Mr.. J. N. Bowers store on the
9th OF March. They were
brought to Burton and identi-
fed by Mr.. Bowers and Mr..
Harris, a blacksmith who was at
work in his shop near the store
and saw them enter and leave
the store, but a goodly number |
of their clique, attended them at |
their trial at Burton and tried
their best to get them cleared,
but they were bound over to the
district court in a bond of the
pitiful sum of $3.50 each. 1t IS
an evident fact that our county |
will never be cleared of such
desperadoes while they have so
many friends on the sly,so many |
who are rated as good citizens
who all the while are working at |
and secretly upholding such
daring rogues, as was plainly |
shown in this case; birds of
feather will flock together.
Mrs. A. T. Bowers left on the |
train last Friday for Cleburne
on a visit to relatives there.
Miss Ida Gentry, who has
been in Williamson county for
the past few months, frightened
our circle for the brief space of
a week with her presence, but
has again departed to resume
her school there.
Courtships and weddings have
entirely played out in this vicin-
ity. ROBINSON CRusoE.

The BANNER learns that the
graders have commenced work
on the extsnsion Of the Eastern
branch of the G. c. & S. F. R.
R., in the vicinity of Snyder's
camp, Burleson county. Also
that a corps OF engineers have
been ordered to make a survey
of a route for some 50 or 90
miles beyond Montgomery, it
being the intention of the comp
any to construct about 100 miles
of track on that line altogether.
On the route between Snyder's
camp and the Brazos river there
is not fifty bales of cotton pro-
duced; while Rogers planta-
ton, east of the river, is the
only one of any Importance on
the line.

BALL AND PIsToL.-In this
case there is distinction in the
kind of balls-there was a ball
and also a pistol ball. 1t seems
that on Sunday night there was
a ball or dance at the house of
Chas. Kucker, on DR.. Bouldin's
plantation, about FIVE miles
south Of town. A young man
named Newsom, and Willis and
Pate Stonaker, were unlimited
guests, who partook of the beer
and inequalities of the dance
and also wanted to partake of
the supper furnished, but did
not want to furnish any money
for their share of it. The con-
sequence was a "shindy" in
which it is said that Pate Ston-
aker fired a pistol ball striking
Kucker in the forehead and
making flesh wound as well as
knocking him down. The three
men then hoped on him like a
hungry duck on a June bug and
all three having pistols they
played a tattoo on his devoted
head, probably thinking he was
a snare drum. Early Monday
morning it was reported that
Kucker was dead, but later
news was to the effect that he
was worth a regiment of dead
men. VIM. Kucker, a brother
of the wounded man, came to
town and made complaint
against the three parties named;
deputy sheriff Baine went out
to Newsom's house having
heard that the Stonaker boys
were there; when he arrived
Newsom's father came up from
the bottom and said that the
boys had skipped. Baine made
an Intellectual search of
the premises, but finding none
of the boys came back to town.
Pate Stonaker, the shootist has
taken a ride; young Newsome
and Willis Stonaker being able
to give bond are expected in
to-day, Tuesday.

PoLITIcs in this county are
as calm and placid as the water
in an underground cistern. Can
didates are doing a little talking
in a quiet way, and in some
quarters the supposed influen-
tial colored politicians are be-
coming objects OF interest.
When the white office-seeker
holds confidential consultations
with colored politicians and ex-
pert field hands, the colored
mans importance is felt to some
extent, but the shrewd colored
man who has had experience
with the white ofhce-seeker gen.
orally knows just about how
much can be made out of him.
Colored politicians as well as
white ones work for what there
is in sight. There is no search

ton and IN due time they will

Quite a large and fashionable
audience, comprising the youth
and beauty of the city, assem-
bled at the Armory last night,
the occasion being an entertain
ment by the BRENNAN Greys,
The company drill was well
done; next came the prize drill,
which was closely contested,
the Ist prize was awarded to
sergeant w. A. Sloan, and
end, to o. NJ. Cornitius. The
bayonet exercises caused a
good deal of merriment. The
close Of the exercises consisted
of what the company termed
japanese Evolutions." The
members of the company ap-
peared each with a good stout
sunflower, Oscar Wilde style,
pinned on his manly bosom,
while the color sergeant had a
whole sunhower "tree" which
he bore triumphly aloft. After
going through the usual evolu-
tons the members halted in
front of the gun rack and each
was furnished with a palm leaf
fan. The manual of arms was
went though with, the fans TAX
ing the place of muskets. The
fan drill had been carefully
worked up and proved a grand
success-its object being to af-
ford amusement to the guests.
Maj. Wallace and Mr.. R. Hoff-
man were appointed judges of
the Jap business, but were I'M
able to decide to whom the
honor belonged, as every man
showed proficiency in the art
of handling the fan. A
genthan present sugges-
ted that monkeying with
fans" would be a better name
for the drill than Japanese Evo-
lutions." After an intermission
for ice cream, the dance was
inaugurated and kept up till mid
night. The Greys scored an
other success.

NEGRO KILLED. The down
passenger train on the Central,
Saturday afternoon ran over a
negro man this side of Burton.
The negro was on the track
along side of a sack of corn or
meal when the engineer discov-
cred him, but before the engine
could be stopped it ran over
the negro's body nearly cutting
it in two. 1t was also reported
that the mans name was Tom
Smith. No other particulars
could be learned; it yet remains
to be found out whether the ne
gro was killed by the train, or
whether he was already killed
"onceP before being put on the
track. As the occurrance took
place in daylight the facts will
no doubt be fully developed.
LATER. Since the above was
in type we learn that the negro
was drunk and asleep with a
sack of meal and two bottles of
whiskey. The accident occur
red about three quarters OF a
mile above Burton.
