wheat, corn, rye and potatoes, and find it
equal to any high-priced fertilizer that have
used within the past ten years. On good
land it makes fine crops at once, and on thin
lands, have watched its action carefully,

ments, number of which were made. Mr..

that they should be cared for as other streets

The "Jug Breaking, on last Monday night
! at Brandenburg's Methodist Prot. Church, at
| Berret, was we'll attended. During the sum-
mer the children belonging to the Sunday
school were given little earthen jugs, in which
they received contributions, to be applied to
the building of the new church. Consider
able enterprise was manifested in the good
work by the children, as their well-filled Jugs
testified. The interior of the church had
been decorated for the occasion. On the
stage was parlor organ, at which Miss ANNE
Smith of Baltimore, presided. Rev. u. II;
McCready, pastor of the church, conducted
the exercises. The opening address was
made by Master Harry Brown, and delivered
in good style; then followed music and reel
tations. Rev. Mr.. McCready sang, with much
feeling, Sankey's famous solo, Come Miss
Annie Smith sang sweetly the solo Cast thy
Bread upon the Waters.'' The singing was
all particularly good. The rectations were
well delivered and applauded to the echo.
After these came the breaking of the jugs and
counting the contents. Mr.. McCready called
the roll, each scholar responding by marching
triumphantly up with his or her little jug.
Mr.. Joseph Brandenburg and Mr.. Charles
Schroeder counted the coin, while Mr.. Belh-
son kept tally. They went all the way from
six cents to eight dollars. Little Harry
schroeder having the most money recelyeu
the first prize, and the second was awarded to
little Miss Allie Bennett. About so was
realized. We hope soon to see new church
as soon as the members of old Branden-
burg deserve success in their efforts.
The people here have finally reached the con-
clusion that they have been doing too much mp
hill work travelling over the public roads.
While politics were being discussed at Freedom
last Saturday, the subject of public roads was
brought up, and subscription list was actn-
ally started to grade the steep hill on the Ell
dersburg road, near Mr.. Browns residence.
Two hundred dollars is all the money required.
Mr.. r. J. Baker headed the list, and was
quickly followed by Mr.. j. Oliver Wadow and
others. The requisite amount is expected to
be subscribed at the primary meeting. The
county should assist in these enterprises
Politics are still lively. Harmony should
be the watchword now. .

ing to the institute amounted at tn
close of last term to SSH. Your hon
orable board authorized the expendi
ture of the same for an assembly hall
to be also used for instruction In mu
sic and calesthenics. The contrac
was made by the local board of direc
tors and the hall has just been com
pleted and / am Informed meets al
the requirements Of the institute.
The Terrell asylum board, in sessj on
to-day, decided that Contractor Nc
Donald should receive pay for all nc
ceptance of material as furnished, less
fifteen per cent. of its value and the
cost of putting 1t In the building.
The board of education to-day re.
fused to purchase $4,000 worth of
Bexar county bonds sent here from
New York. They are good securities,
but the board preferred to distribute
the balance of the permanent fund
among the counties themselves, which
have already spoken for an amount
sufficient to exhaust 1t.
The capitol board will not hold a
session until perhaps the last of the
week. The members are privately
studying the contents of a
long communication from Arch
itect Myers, which purports to
make startling disclosures. He is
very anxious for the appointment of u
gentleman in another state to succeed
Superintendent Clark, and it is under
stood intimates that the latter has been
made the instrument of attempted
fraud.
Rumors have long been rife that the
capital syndicate were dissatisfied
with their bargain. The GAZETTE re-
porter has trustworthy information.
that they are exceedingly anxious to
get rid of the contract. No one could
be surprised here if they should
throw it up ard abandon their
present improvements. These have
involved an expenditure of between
$4,000 and S300,000, small portion
of which might he converted into
cash. The attempt the syndicate is
to get immediate possession
OF the lands, but which will fail, is
and may be only the final
step before abandoning their contract.
These are questions which are eagerly
discussed by the officials, and while
is avoided. yet enough has
been CLEANED TO justify the statement
that the forfeiture of the capt.
toll contract by the Chicago syndicate
IS imminent. 1t is surmised that the
depreciation in Texas land consequent
upon the fence troubles is one lucent
i've to such n cause.
The land commissioners received |
private advices yesterday and to-day |
concerning nine applications for land |
which were illegally filed as actual
settlers. There are about one thousand |
lctual settlers applications now on
lie. and it is estimated that one-half |
ire from persons not such as contem-
plated 10y the law. After the board
'cts upon the applications the com
nissioners will cause to be published
he name of each applicant with the
ection purchased, so that if fraud is
'erpetrated it may be discovered.
