The Use Of Lemons.

Bear in mind that lemons are the
most useful fruit in domestic econo
my. The juice of half lemon in 9
teacup ofstrong, black coffee, with
ont sugar. will often cure headache,
Lemon juice and salt will remove
ordinary iron rust. Ii the hands
are stained there is nothing that
will remove tie stains so well as
well as lemon. Cut the lemon in
half and apply the cut surface as il
1t were soap. Lemon juice is also
remedy for rheumatism and for
Oillousness. In the latter case, take
the juice OF a lemon before break
fast, pulp may also be eaten, avoid
ing every particle ofskIn. Lemon
juice with sugar mixed very thick
and taken at intervals relieves a
cough. 1t must be very acid as
well as sweet.

DAILY PAPERS.

The publication OF a daily paper
in a small town is, to say the least,
rather d hazardous undertaking,
requiring liberal expenditure of
money and unremitting care and
labor. The greatest of economy
and careful engineering is requIr-
ed to keep 1t afoat, even with a
liberal patronage. These reflections
are prompted by the announce
ment ofthe resuning Of the publ
cation of the Sherman Daily Reg.
lister, which suspended few weeks
ago for the want of patronage
sufficient 10 defray the expenses
incident to its publication. The
citizens of Sherman, feeling an in
terest and pride IN their city and
the want OF a daily paper, came
forward and pledged q sufficient
amount of advertising patronage
to induce the publishers of the
Register to resume its publication,
Now that an increased patronage
has been pledged the Register we
hope that it may have easy sailing
over the journalistic sea. tits i'm
possible for any community TO be
too liberal in the support OF then
home paper, as it is an established
fact that newspapers 90 more
towards building up towns a I'd
communities than all other
agencies combined. The better
the patronage, the better the
paper.

MORE RAILWA y.

The BANNER has at all times and
under all circumstances been a
staunch advocate of Brennan and
of Washington county; it has al
ways been in the front rank in the
matter of advocating improve
ments, and it feels that it has the
right to tell the truth, as it did the
other day in an article referring to
"Lost o Opportunities" 1t will do to
stop occasionally and look back to
see what has been done and what
might have been done. Washing
ton county is beyond doubt the
equal if not superior of any county
in the state as an agricultural dis
tr1ct, but we have relied too much
on our natural advantages and the
effort to sucure manufacturing ana
industries and trade has not been
such as it might have been. The
trade of the Washington neighbor'
hood has been lost or virtually lost
by our failure to puild good roads
and bridges. The thing to be
done now Is TO go TO, work to re
cover lost ground; regrets and re
carnations do no good. The build
ing of tramway or light narrow
gauge railway from Brenham W
the Brazos bottom via Independ
ence to Cooks Point in Burlesor
county, would bring here almost
az large trade as Brennan now
has, and by extending 1t In 6
southwestly direction via New
UIm and in the direction of Col
umbus we would open up to rail
way communication a thickly pop
ulated section of country that j:
now without any railway facilities
whatever. If the people of Bren
ham will build fifteen or twenty
miles of railway IN either direc
ton named they will then have ne
difficulty in bonding the road IL
build as tar as they please. W.
must first help ourselves before
king outsiders TO help US.

St. Louis Republican.

St. Louis Republican.
The smuggling" match under tho
auspices OF the Boston Institute OF
Technology seems to have been o
most interesting affair according
TO all accounts. Before "a large
attendance of ladies and gentle
men, as the local papers assure
US, the first bout began between J.
d. Williams, champion OF the Bos-
ton Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, and Edward Grew of the
Harvard Athletics. Grew "faced
pluckIly," but the Christian cham
.pion "was the better man" and
hammered HIM all over the head"
On the second round "Grew was
so groggy he could hardly see, -
and was no better when the third
opened. On a succeeding round
he received "a singer on the
smeller" from Williams left which
''sent him to grass senseless." He
was carried out by his seconds,
while the victorious champion oil
the Christian association was
raised to the skies on the ap.
plauses of the friendly bellies from
Beacon hill. There were sixteen
entries all told In the match, but
attention seems to have centred
chiefly on this, the thrilling in
teresI OF which has been so family
indicated. The only after event
which aroused enthusiasm was {
set-to between two represents
tives of the Young Mems Christian
association, SIN which the me1
fought until they were too weak
to stand"
Lest false differences should bt
drawn from these facts it ough
to be stated that these were no
ordinary smuggling matches, bu
exhibitions Of physical culture, >
no less refined and elevating in
their nature than the sight of John
Lawrence Sullivan dressed in 6
fg-leai and posing as Apollo Bel
vedere or Ajax Oileus.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

This is the caption of an article
IN the LAGRANGE Journal OF the 4th
inst. 1t is an article ofvital inter
est to the business men and espe-
cially the property owners of Bren-
ham. Hero is the gist oft: "a
delegation of leading citizens of
LaGrange have gone to Galveston
for the purpose of being present
at meeting of the directory of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way to confer with them and offer
them inducements TO build a line
OF railway from Somerville, Burle-
son county, TO LAGRANGE and furth-
er westward il deemed advisable"
The Journal says: "Should the
company build the road, it will
prove of incalculable value to the
country through which it passes
and likewise be q good investment
for the company. A line drawn
from Somerville direct to this place
would cross the Austin branch OF
the Central at or near Gravel sta
ton between Burton and Ledbet-
ter, leaving in Its course Round
Top, Warrenton, and Rutorsvillc,
each q few milel to the east. The
distance from Somerville to La
Grange is about fifty miles and the
country through which the road
would pass is favorable to easy and
inexpensive construction" The
advantages of this road to La
Grange would be manifold.
That such line of railway would
be beneficial to LaGrange is plain
enough; LAGRANGE wants addition
al railway facilities and is seeming
Up willing to pay for them. If the
line, as proposed, is built the con-
sequences to Brenhom can very
readily be figured ont; it won't
take many states and pencils TO do
it. A very large trade that now
comes here will inevitably be di'
verified to other points. 1t seems
to the BANNER that Brennan has
no trade to lose; she needs all the
trade she can get and more too. Ii
is o we'll established fact that rail
roads both make and kill towns
II Brennan had more railways
they would be the cause of making
the town. We have quoted fully
from our Lagrange neighbor; oul
people can draw their own infer
ences and make their own calcula
tons The BANNER would sugges
that if LAGRANGE and the Santa FL
people want to build a tap roaC
that Brennan is q good point IL
start from. An air line road iron
BRENNAN would pass through
a thickly settled and fertile coun
try that is now unoccupied by
railway, and it would be materially
beneficial to both BRENNAN an La
Grange.
