A Suggestion.

To the Banner:
The people of independence
want a rail, or tramway, and Bren-
ham certainly needs it.
Why cannot the people of Indo
pendence and vicinity and the
people of Rrcnham cooperate with
the Brcuhaln Street L r. Co. and
thus have he two places connected
inside OF twelve months by rail!
The Brennan Street r. X. passes
along side of both the freight and
passenger depots of the Santa Fe
K. r., and within one block of the
cotton compress on the Central
Railway; q short switch will con.
meet at that point. ii needle,
passengers and freight can be car.
ricd through the streets of Bren.
ham to the corporate lines by
horse, whert a light engene or 10,
comotive can attach to the same
cars and carry them forward
Thus the great expence of right
of-way etc, OF one and 4 half miles
through Brennan can DC saved
Doubtless the Street, R'y. would CO
operate and conform TO that which
mIght be to the best interests o.
all concerned in the premises.

JUSTICES CoURT.-Monday-Wm.
Brown, negro, who lives about
three miles from town. was tired
for unlawfully carrying a pistol
a vicious looking one, of the Bull
dog pattern. He was fined S25
and trimmings; total, s41.S5. In
default of payment he was sent to
jail. He sent for his papa to help
him out. He is yet to be tried for
fighting his wife, and, if again
fined, he will have to send for his
mamma and his mamma-in-law,as it
will take all the money both fami-
lies can raise to pay him out. The
way of the pistol-carrier is devious,
but not half so much so as it ought
to be.

proved to be q "wet one" and it is
described by our owl reporter as
having been a very jolly affair.
The colorcd gentleman who pre-.
sided so gracefully as chairman"
used bottle of whiskey, not a
mere whiskey bottle, as . gavel
and consulting medium, when a
knotty parliamentary question
presented itself. Just after the
owls had met three men were seen
going to the meeting with a PAIR
of gallon jugs each, suspended
over their broad shoulders. The
jugs contained attenuated taran-
tnla juice of Cincinnati manufac-
ture and of doubtful quality and
low price. The main guy of the
meeting was an ex-member of the
Texas legislature. The refresh
ments were consumed, but at the
wind up it was impossible to tell
which candidate had gained the
most friends.

DrOpped Dead.

On Friday afternoon about 9
o'clock Mr.. John B. Bowers was
standing on the corner of Main
and Ant streets, in front of Am.
mons store, engaged in pleasant
conversation with Mr.. J. L. Am
mons, Col. 1. II. Bowers and
perhaps another, when he sud
denly raised his shoulders and
clutched his cain in both hands,
his knees gave way and he fell
over on his back a corpse. All OF
this occurred in an instant. An
inquest was held by Justice Hack
worth and q verdict of death from
apoplexy was rendered. The
deceased had been in somewhat
feeble health for some time, but
had exhibited no symptoms OF ap-
oplexy, being 4 spare built man.
Mr.. Bowers was born in Alabama,
August Is, 1906, and was therefore
very near his eightieth year. He
with his family removed to Wash
ington county in 1858 and resided
here since that time. Up to about
three years ago helived on his farm
in the Pennington settlement, about
SIX miles from town, Tor the past
three years he resided in town with
his son. The deceased was an hon
orablc and upright man AID good
citizen.
His romans will be inferred in
tho family burying ground at his
farm. The funeral will probably
take place to-day.
