hilarious and blg.mouthed ncgroc
on tho street cornore. 1t is wei
MR. E. REIcHARDT is electe
county commissioner for this CON
missionors' precinct by majorit
of about 1875.
A MORE determined set Of OF mel
than tho citizens who met in Brcn
ham on Friday could not be tonne
anywhere.
THERE was q small bnt sccrc
meeting OF the radicals Saturday
afternoon-tho purpose of it die
not traHspirc.
SATURDAY morning we bad COO
and refreshing norther-the wcath
CT had been oppreslvcly warm fol
the season.
MEssRs. ]. L. SwEARIEdEN and
Heber Stone lett on Thursday for
Hearne in the interest of the
Brenhan and Brazos Valley rail
way.
FISHER & WEls on Friday last
received from Kansas sixty-fve
head of fine fat hogs. They were
beauties-if hogs have any
beauty.
CAMPTowN is said to be blessed
with couple of colored female
Republican politicians who arc
now enjoying themselves by de-
nouncing Democratic colored men.
TIE Brennan Rifles were called
out Monday night to guard the
jail in case any attempt was made
to release the eight negroes, from
FIcwelIen's, now confined therein.
SEVERAL paupers who belong on
the poor farm are in tho habit
of running away and coming to
town, where they are nuisance.
If there is any way OF keeping
them on the farm it should be
done.
ONLY about half the usual num-
Der of negroes came TO town Sat
urday and they were quiet and
tolerably we'll behaved. In fact
there is q marked change in their
demeanor since the result of the
election became known.
KIoKED.-A son of Mr.. JOSIAH,
aged Is years, on the Chadwick
farm, was kicked by horse on
Sunday, tearing the skin off the
forehead and fracturing the skull.
He was attended by DR.. Becker
and was doing reasonably well
yesterday.
DEDIcA1IoN.---Bishop A. W.
Wayman will dedicate st. Johns
A. M. e. chapel, corner of David
son and Sandy streets, Sunday
morning Nov. IA, al IL a. M, as
sisted by Rev. M. johnson, of Mt.
Rose Baptist church. The public
at largo is cordially invited to at
tend.
THE proceedings of tho Citizens
meeting printed elsewhere need
no comment; Its action was con-
servative, but determined. Colered
voters who have been bulldozed
and led estray by the so-called
white Republican leaders can read
between the lines and govern
themselves accordingly.
TIE returns from the Washing
ton box gives Mills 81 and Rankin
IA, Minkwitz gets So for treasurer
and Lockett 70 ard the proper
ton through the entire list of
candidates is the same with va
ration of one or two votes. Major
John A. Vernon was elected justice
and Il. C. Patton, constable.
AFTER the excitement on Friday
things cooled down and on Satur-
day we had a quiet day. Small
mass meetings of two three and
four men continue TO be held on
the street. County affairs is the
theme of conversation and the
white radicals continue to be con-
demncd IN the severest terms-the
feeling against them is so bitser
that 1T is likely TO last for some
time TO come.
THE DISTRICT ATToRNEYsHIP.-A
private dispatch from Caldwell,
received on Thurtday gives Major
Ragsdalc Il majority of 1880 in
Burlcson county. 1t is reported
that he has a majority OF about
$50 in Lee county. His opponent
Mr.. C. e. Lockett was on the Re-
publican ticket in this county, and
perhaps has a majority of a few
hundred, but not enough to change
the result. Major Ragsdale is
elected.
FIRE On Saturday night the
dwelling house of William Hickey,
about two miles and q half from
town was totally destroyed by
fire. The house was worth about
$500 and contained some furniture
and few hundred pounds of loose
cotton. Mr.. Hickey had moved to
town a few weeks ago and there
was no ono living in the house.
The fire was evidently the work OF
an incendiary. There was no in
surance.
