CRY AND COUNTY.

CITY AND COUNTY.
QUITE q number of planters are
buying seed corn from dealers in
Brennan.
MAY FEsT.-It has been decided
to hold tho Firemans' May Fest or
the 14th and 18th of May.
New and better pipe is being
laid down in some portions of the
city by the water company.
The BANNER returns thanks for
an invitation to the ball ofSchlller
Lodge No. SO, A. o. U. W. at Froh'
SIM hall, on the 2sth inst.
THE ball at Pleasant Hill on the
evening of the 14th inst, was
largely attended and finely en-
ioyed by all those who attended.
THE spring time approaches, and
the small boy is getting his pin
hook ready to save the hungry
little perch from q watery grave.
PERSONAL. Col. Peter Haber-
man and wife, of Pittsburgh, Pa,
are here on visit to thler son-in-
law Mr.. August Bngelke. Col. e..
is an extensive coal operator.
SEE change in R. Roffman's ad.
he is offering fine line of tailor
made clothing. Is sole agent for
Philadelphia fine hats. Has an
attraction limo of dress goods.
Grand opening on the 18th inst.
We trust that our farmers now
see the necessity of raising corn
sufficient for home consumption.
Raising cotton with which 10 buy
corn, flour, bacon and other sup
plies, is an improbable business,
20 say the least OF it.
STEVE RANDLB, an enterprising
colored farmer living about . mile
east of town, has all his corn
planted. He has also sixteen acres
planted in cotton, but 1t is not up
yet. If he escapes frost he will
have very early cotton.
The public road between Bren-
ham and Wesley is SAID to be IN al
most an impossible condition; load
ed wagons cannot make 1t through
Mill creek bottom. This road
should be put in first class order,
as Brennan derives a big trade
from that section of the county.
WHIPPED.-At Burton on Tues
day morning a ter the arrival of
the west bound accommodation
train, upon which he went up from
Brenham, a man PANIED L. Docket
was set upon by two or three men
and severely handled. He had
boon witness in the county court
on Monday.
ARRIvED.-One A. G. Rollman,
who formerly resided IN this city,
and who is wanted on a charge of
embezzlement, was arrested a few
days ago IN Kendall county where
he was engaged in teaching school.
He arrived in charge of an officer
at 2 3. m. Thursday and now is
comfortably located in tho county
Jail.
THE county white Teachers In
stitute met in regular session on
Friday afternoon, and carried out
an interesting programme. The
city and county institutes have
consolidated for professional work,
and meetings will be held regular
Iy on the second Saturday of each
month, at 2:3O p. M, in the public
school building.
AN attempt to hold "dry" owl
meeting at Camptown, Thursday
night, proved failure. A barbe-
cue consisting of sardlnes and bug
Juice, or festival at which beer and
Holsters are served generally draws
a fine crowd of owls. The most
successful owl meetings are those
at which the candidate furnishes
ample refreshments, such as con-
densed corn, beer, sardines, etc.,
etc.
SPECIAL attention is called to the
double column advertisement of
Mr.. F. Krentzlin, one OF our lead
ing grocery merchants, who IN ad-
dition to his extensive grocery
business has taken the agency for
Lemp's Western Brewery, one of
the largest, Oldest and best known
breweries of st. Louis. Mr.. Krentz-
lin will keep on hand at all times
a full supply of Lemp's key and
bottle beer which he will supply
TO the trade on reasonable terms.
q. MIXED owl meeting was held
at Iatrousvllle Saturday night.
1t was q mixed meeting in that
several candidates for mayor were
represented by proxy and perhaps
in person. The owl meeting was
originated for the purpose of tutor
ing the colored voter IN the way
he should cast his vote. The col
ored voter has, to use q slang
term, "caught on" and he takes all
the candidate will give him-after-
