ner. Nose expected to make the re-

arrive. On Thursday, not having /

that our Banner mail carrier had met

caught in a snow slide or that some
kind of an accident had happened.

the mountain and piled about twenty
feet in depth for $50 feet along the
creek, and is hard enough for horse
to walk over. The snow that has
fallen during this last storm is heavy,
and the fall before this being packed
pretty hard is what caused the slides.
Such sliding was never before known
on the Banner route. Nose says the
snow is nine feet deep on the sum-
NIT. He says if there had been no
slides he would have been in on time.
This was something he was not ex-

There is a general growl about the mail
facilities OF this place. The route is
from Pena on the Mexican National
railroad to Rio Grande City, dis.
lance Of ninety miles through sandy
country, thence down thevalley Of the
Rio Grande river TO Brownsville, 10
miles. Whenever there is any rain the
mailsare from one to ak days late. This
occurs very often, and the mails come
in a ruined condition, frequently
soaked through and through. The
fault seems 10 lie with the contractors,
they not having capable or sufficient
teams to come through with very
small burro attached 70 blackboard,
and most of the time the mail 10 much
larger than the burro. We should not
be ignored in this matter. This is n
large and important office. The
attention OF the department at Wash
inRton has been called TO the matter,
but with little effect as the service
grows worse. Something should be
done. Either the government should
nav a sufficient sum to have the mails
brought in ON time by making con-
tracts with parties who would run bet
ter stock, or else the present contractors
should be fined until they can deliver
the mails on time.
Nothing has been heard from the
letter mail sack which was lost in day
light on big road about month
since.
The great abundance of rains Is of
immense benefit 10 the stOckmen of
this section but too late for the crops
unless the winter is late In which case
corn might he raised.
District court is in session and is the
center of attraction. Several cases
have been disposed of. The convictions
for the past week have been: Juan
Garcia, theft of cattle, given two years
In the penitentiaIy NJ. Martinez,
arson, fv6 years; A. Mesu, adultery
and seduction, two years, and Matias
Garcia, two years, theft Of cattle.

PARTISAN NOTES.
A Visit to the Public Schools, Etc


Correspondence of the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, Sept. 22.-To-day the
correspondent of THE GAZETTE paid a
visit TO the public schools in the city
in company with Mr.. Gibbons. We
found them getting down to work in
good earnest, especially so in the
higher grades. We fully realized the
fact that it will take some time to ar
range the system adopted in all of its
details so that it will run smoothly.
One great necessity forced itself upon
our notice-a building sufficiently
large to accommodate all the scholars
within the ages now being taught, in
stead of several buildings situated in
different parts of the city. The present
arrangement adds materially to the
cost of maintaining the schools.
AT least 70 per cent. might be
saved to the pupils if the Aiken
| institute was enlarged to seat all the
children. 1t is to be hoped that this
will be accomplished before another
session.
Through the kindness of our mayor
we were introduced to the various
teachers having charge Of the schOl-
|
Lille Smith as principal, and Mrs.
Ballenger and Miss Lille Braune as
assistants, in charge of about two hun
bred and fifty children, rs bright "A lit

studying the mysteries OF the first and
