For some cause we have
been deprived of regular mails
at this office the past month.
There's a greater amount of mail
deposited at this office by far,
than any other of its size in the
state; and we presume that the
contractor is well paid for a reg
ular daily mail on this route.
During the very bad weather,
knowing the condition of the
roads, we made due allowance,
and made no complaint, al
though we were at the time
over a week withoutsm But
since the weather has improv-
ed, we see but little change in
the regularities of mail, we now
have mail about three times per
week.
1t is true the business of the
mass of patrons of this office is
not at all affected by the irreg-
ular receipt of their mail mat
ter. But there are some whose
business interest, are materially
injured or retarded thereby.
1t is to be hoped that there
will be an Improvement on this
route soon, before complaint is
made to the department. X.

GREsNvINE, Mch. IS, 1882.
Editors Banner:
l desire to call the attention
of some of our public servants
to matter of public interest.
l am creditably informed that
the banisters that supported
the railing on the bridge built
by John Hackworth, over East
Mill Creek, has been cut
down, and the bridge is now
without any side-railing at all ;
who did the cutting, or the
cause of it, l have not learned.
The former overseer of the road
has had his attention called to
the Importance of having the
bridge replaced with railing,
the overseer being under the
impression land he was. no
doubt, honest in his belief that
Mr.. Hackworth had insured the
bridge for a definite period of
time, and the time not having
expired, was bound to replace
the railing at his own expense.
Now, if l mistake not, Mr..
Hackworth only insured the
rock pillows that supported the
bridge. or the material of which
said pillows were built, for a
period Of three or FIVE years,
and he, in justice, cannot be
held accountable for damages
caused by individuals. Well,
as the county will, eventually,
have to own the public roads
and furnish all the material to
build bridges, cause-ways, etc,
the county commissioners may,
if they deem it a public neces-
sity, furnish the overseer the
with which to replace
said railing, and he will, no
doubt, have the repairing done.
The protracted rain season
caused the farmers to have
.ong faces and melancholy
countenances, but a few days
dry weather has unbent their
orows and they are now wear
ng smiling faces. Flowing is
he order of the day in the
Iicinity of Greenvine.

Another Old Settler Gone.


Mr.. w. w. Hackworth, one
of the oldest settlers of this
county, died at the residence of
his daughter at Ledbetter on
Sunday evening at 6 p. m.
Three or four days ago he
passed drought town in his
usual good health and spirits.
Mr.. Hackworth was nearly 70
years of age and came to Texas
in 1898 settling in the Penning-
ton neighborhood, near Bren-
ham, where he has since resid-
ed. His wife and a number of
grown children, as well as num-
erous grand children, survive
him. He was an honest up
right man, plain and unassum-
ing, and lived to see Washing
ton county grow from a new
settlement 20 be one of the old
est and wealthiest counties in
the state, having lived here a.
years. His remains were
brought down from Ledbetter
by the Monday afternoon train,
and received by the members
of Graham Lodge No. 20, A. F.
and A. NJ, who conducted the
obsequies. His funeral took
place from the depot and was
attended by a large number of
friends and relatives. Deceas-
ed was the father of S. A. Hack
worth, esquire and Mr.. John w.
Hackworth, postmaster here.
Some four years ago deceased
was sunstruck and although of
a very strong constitution he
never fully recovered from its
effects. Thus has another of
the pioneers of this county gone
to his reward.

Fire.


About 1890 last night, a fire
broke out in the kitchen at the
residence of IF. Parks, adjoin-
ing his stable. The alarm was
given and was promptly re-
sponded to by the fire depart
ment and citizens. The build
ings were of frame, but the
engine soon raised steam and
succeeded in saving the main
building. The furniture in the
the dwelling was all removed
in a very few minutes and no
doubt was damaged by the
hasty manner in which it
was carried out the; entire
damages will probably be
in the neighborhood Of
$500, which we presume is COW
cred by insurance. The horses
in the stable were temporarily
removed to the courthouse pas
ture and such vehicles as were
convenient were taken out. The
fire is thought to have origina-
ted from a defective flue or from
the cooking stove. A new and
reprehensible practice, that of
firing off pistols when an alarm
of fire is given, is coming in vo-
que, and judging from the num-
Der of shots fired last night one
would suppose that the town is
as full Of pistols as a healthy
dogs back is of hair. The city
authorities should put a stop to
this pistol shooting abomina-
ton.

The Col0rcd Vote.

The colored citizens OF this
town are now in the height o.
their glory; they are having a
perennial picnic, a protracted
emancipation celebration, an
aggregation of fourth Of July
and a long drawn out Christmas
holiday, all interviewer and so
skillfully blended together, that
it is utterally impossible to dis
tinguish, without the aid OF
a microscope. where one holt
day ends and the other begins.
The colored citizen now feels
his Importance; he is a freed
man; a citizen of the greatest
country under the sun, and a
voter. The vote of the man
who chops wood for six-bits a
cord, counts as much as the
vote of the president of the
United States. The colored
voter is as tickle as fortune he
hardly ever makes up his mind
fully who he is going to vote
for in an election where there
is no politics and where he is
to pick his man, the choice de-
pending on personal populari-
ty or fitness for the position.
The average candidate is
usually awake and he knows
the weak points of the colored
brother as well or better than
the colored brother does HIM
SELF hence it follows that the
candidate loads his pockets
down with fiat or imaginary
taffy and putting a few loose
quarters, two half dollars and
one buzzard dollar in his pock-
cts, which are built for the oc-
casion. having a loft, a main
story and a cellar, the dollar is
put in the cellar, the door is
locked and the key thrown
away, the quarters are kept in
the loft within easy reach, and
specially favored darkies are
given one occasionally. By this
means the candidate thinks to
win, not only the confidence
but the vote Of his colored
friend. Alter the city election
is over the holiday season comes
to a dead stop; the colored vo-
ter is no longer an object Of in
terest, he is given neither quar- |
tiers or fiat ,,taffy; he is like
a last years birds nest and |
left severely alone to shift for |
himself until the next election |
comes round.

SATURDAY evening is by some
devoted to a retrospective
view of how the week has been
spent, the wrongs done and the
good accomplished, but by the
average candidate Saturday
night is regarded as the harvest,
or picnic season of the week;
the candidate primps his face
and puts on his most bewitching
and seductive smile, hoping by
his Establishments to win over
to his side some undecided SOW
ereign, aud strange as it may
seem the undecided sovereign
is usually of the complexion,
called in French "nore." Sat-
urday evening is the season for
heavy work; the weeks labor
makes the colored citizen tired
and dry, and the fountains that
flow a stream of the amber fluid,
known as beer, are visited and
the dryness of the sovereign is
removed. Much work is now
being done by the candidates
and much yet remains to be
done.

Death Of Capt. +. W. schuerenberg.

For the past ten or twelve
days Capt. Schuerenberg had
been confined to his house, but
in the last day or two his
disease, congestion of the bow
els. assumed an alarming shape,
AT I:25 o'clock Friday after
noon he breathed his last. The
news of his death was rapidly
reported over the city and there
was but one sentiment-that of
unfeigned regret. The deceased
was born at Kettwig, Prussia,
October 27th 1881, consequent
ly was little over 81 years of
age. AT the age of Fl he emf
grated to Texas arriving in
Washington county in 1852 and
settling at Chappell Hill, at that
time one Of the best business
points in the county, where he
opened a blacksmith shop, he
being a blacksmith by trade;
after remaining at Chappell Hill
for some time he removed to
Independence and from indie
pendence to Berlin, and in 1874
from Berlin to BRENNAN, at all
of which place he carried on the
business OF a blacksmith. He
was a successful business man
and for the past few years in
addition to his blacksmithing
business he carried on an eN-
tensive shop for manufacturing
ofagricultural implements; a few
days before his sickness he was
negotiating for the erection ola
large brick building for his
works. He was one of our most
energetic and enterprising citi-
zens always willing to contri-
butte towards and take the lead
in any and all public improve
ments. Capt. Schuerenberg was
married in July 1858 to Miss
Louisa Mueller, who with two
sons, both now grown, survive
him. He was exempt from
service as a soldier by virtue of
of his trade, a blacksmith, but
he did not take advantage of it
going to the front at the head
of a company as a captain. His
death has cast gloom over the
entire community. A good man
has gone to his reward. Peace |
to his ashes.

The SURvEY.-Mr. w. H.
Vinson returned yesterday from
his trip on the line surveyed by
the Santa Fe corps from Nava-
sofa towards Brennan. When
Mr.. Vinson left the surveyors
were camped at Geo. Harbour's
place on Kuykendall creek. Mr..
Vinson had no difficulty in OBJ
tanning right of way along the
line surveyed-all gave deeds.
Mr.. v. thinks there will be no
difficulty in obtaining right of
way to this city. Old settlers
informed him that the line as
surveyed would notvary a quar-
ter of a mile from an air line
from Brennan to Navasota. AS
far as Kuykendall the route is
said to be practical and to pre-
sent no difficulties; from Kuy-
kendall to Brennan the route is
rather rough, but by no means
difficult: The entire route is
timber land and the building of
the road through itwould be of
great advantage as it would give
a market for timber that is now
valueless and has to be destroy
ed in clearing up farms. Those
interested should bear in mind
that a survey does not mean
building a road and we should
be prepared to meet the mana
gers of the road on a reasonable
bases if they determine to build
here.
