PoLITIcAL.-A BANNER re-
porter in a conversation with a
prominent republican of this
city learned that there is a
strong feeling among the re-
publicans in favor of having
good county officers, and he
stated that with this object in
view the republicans would vote
for good men irrespective of
politics. and that they do not
think it advisable to hold any
nominating conventions the
coming summer. There is ap-
parently a strong and growing
feeling among the conservative
men of both parties to lay aside
politics in county affairs, for
this year at least, and unite in
electing d set of county officers
that will faithfully, honestly and
fearlessly discharge their Off
cial duties.

man who lives near the line Of
the Santa Fe railway, in the
southern part of town, was Wis

the Germania ball. About fifty
dollars worth Of groceries, pro-

were carried away.
On Tuesday night about half
past ten two men armed with a
wheelbarrow in which to carry
off the plumber made an attempt
to break into H. Werner's gro
Gerry store, but were heard, shot
at and driven off.
The gentleman who was
robbed does not desire newspa-

FUN.-The snipe hunting
season seems to be full upon
US and the fun loving portion of
our hunters are making the
most of it. Snipe driving is
always done in the dark Of the
moon; the snipe drive well, but
for reasons that are never salts
factorily explained by the man
who holds the lantern and the
bag, they never get caught.
Last Monday night there was a
nice, quiet little snipe hunting
party out, and last night there
was a fine large party of gay
and festive snipers out in the
field. They left town about
eight o'clock with a beer key, a
gun, a lantern, a victim, and
couple Of big bags into which
the unsuspecting snipe are to
be driven.
Since the above was in type
a portion of the snipe hunters
have returned and called at the
BANNER Office to report. AT
nine o'clock last night the vic
tim, whose name is Herr Won
Tholdur, of,Leinefelde, Germa-
ny. was left sitting on a beer
key, of the size known as an
eighth, which Won Tholdur had
been induced to carry out on
his shoulder laborlng under the
impression that it was loaded
with beer, but it wasn't-it was
filled with water and although a
faucet was taken along the
glasses were purposely forgot
ten. Won T. was armed with
candle and when our informant
left he was holding open the
bag, which was made expressly
for the occasion and was con-
of two four bushel
burlap oats sacks, sewed to-
gether, open at one end and
half closed where they were
joined together, making a sort
of a back parlor' of the second
sack, much on the same princi-
pie as quail net is built. Won
T. held the candle in one hand
and the open mouth OF the bag
in the other while the assistants
went out in the field to drive up |
the birds. The remainder OF |
the story needs no explanation. |

NEARLY A FIRE.--Friday
evening at 7:3o a blaze was dis
covered in a small plumber
room between Swearingen's law
office and Axer's cotton room,
in the Giddings' building on the
south side of square. Ashes
had been deposited in a wooden
vessel and at the time men,
toned broke out in a nice blaze.
A bucket of water sufficed to
put it out. An alarm of fire
was given and the fire depart
ment turned out promptly, but
their services were not needed.
Damage between three and
five cents. Hot ashes in wood
en- receptacles have caused
more fires than any other one
cause known. Too much care
cannot be exercised in dispos-
ing Of ashes; they will remain
quiet in a box for a week on
purpose to start a fire.

COTTON SEED OIL The
BANNER is indebted to the Bren-
ham OIL Mills for a sample Of
their refined cotton seed oil.
1t was thoroughly tested in fry
ing fiap-jacks and is pronoun-
ced as far superior to any lard
sold in the market. For cult
nary purposes in which lard
is used the refined oil is far sup
erior; it is purely vegetable oil
and is strictly clean, which is
much more than can be said for
the so-called lard sold in the
south, and another and greater
advantage is that it IS decided
ly cheaper and much more
healthful. 1t is destined at no
very distant day to entirely
.supercede the use of lard in the
kitchen and its manufacture will
prove most important item in
the cotton states. The BANNER
is informed by several parties
who have tried refined oil for
cooking that they find it far
superior to lard, and in the flu
ture they will use it in prefer
ence.

CORN meal is now very prec-

bucket full, but is weighed out
at three cents a pound, or a
$3.50 a bushel, which is near
about a starvation or famine

worth more than corn here is
Somewhat of a mystery; all
grist mills give a bushel of I'M
'bolted meal for a bushcl OF
corn.

yesterday the weather cleared

to stand a drouth of three or

are all very much behind with
