Brenham weekly banner. [volume] (Brenham, Tex.) 1877-1907, 1884-04-24

make its appearance on Tuesday
afternoon. Shaw Il BiayIock who
have been doing the press-~rork
and furnishing the paper refused
to give further credit. An effort
is b5ihg made to organize stock
company. Afternoon journalism
in Galveston has never proved sue
cessiul. The old Civilian is the
only evening paper that seems to
be able to hold its own, and it is
not making q fortune at any alarm
ing rate. The Print was live pa
per and struggled hard; it deserved
n better fate.
! ABOUT the LIST Of May tho San
Antonio Light will be enlarged to a
seven column paper; the enlarge
mont is made necessary by the in
creased demand for advertising
space. The Light is real live,
sprightly paper and always pre-
sents the news in a concise and
readable form, and it is evidently
a favorite with its readers. 1t is
an e1empliication of the fact that
the politics of newspaper has lit
tie to do with its popularity. Po-
litically the Light is Republican,
and in its town the Republicans
are hopelessly in the minority.
! HENRY WARD BEEcHER learned
thing or two in his trip to the
South and was magnanimous
enough to speak his convictions
publicly when he returned home.
Among other fair and just state
ments he made was this: ''In spite
of many local hindrances which
have prevented the full develop
ment of that section, the Southern
people are as well disposed towards
the building up of educational in
situations ss those of the North"
Beecher, if he remains so, is a very
fair specimen of a reconstructed
Radical. A visit to the South works
wonders. III
Mr.. LAME, of Indiana, who visit
ed Mr.. Tilden at the same time the
California delegation did, tells a
somewhat different story than that
sent out by the latter. He says
that Mr.. Tilden did not give them
moro than one. minutes audience.
John F. Bigelow, who is looking
alter Mr.. Tilden's house, as well
as person, whisked the Western
statesmen into Mr.. ITilden's pres
ence and whisked them out again
in very shortorder. They did not,
according to Mr.. Lamb, have
enough talk with Mr.. Tilden to be
able to give anything positive about
that stateman's intentions. Mr..
Lamb, it seems, didn't gather any
thing material himself. -i7i
We are in receipt of a circular
from r. E. Lee camp No. !, Con
federate Veterans, Richmond, Yir-
ginia, stating that grand bazaar
will be held at Armory Hall, Rich
mond, on the 14th of May and will
continue during the month. The
object is to establish home
at Richmond for disabled, ex-Con-
federate soldiers who are unable
to take care of themselves, and
whose helpless and pitiable |
condition calls for a liberal charity,
in some sense, above and more
pressing than any other brought
to notice. Money sent to d. S.
Radford, treasurer, care of Plan
tiers National Band, Richmond Va,
will be properly applied. |
The Victoria Advocate speaking
of the trouble of the Continental
meat company seems to attribute
the difficulties to an attempt on
the part of the Fort Worth branch
of the establishment to freeze out
the Victoria end. The Advocate
says the business of the company
has not been DISASTROUS at Victoria.
Up to January 1st, eight months
from the beginning of operations,
there were slaughtered l2,1l9 head
of cattle; 9491 sheep and 1896
calves, the total value OfwhIchwas
so96,77s. While it is a fact that
the expenses incident to the estab-
lishment OF the business were un-
expectedly large, the net result
has not shown loss. 1t is true
no money has been made, but it is
also true that none has been lost.
