CITY AND COUNTY.

CITY AND COUNTY.
GARDENS are looking we'll.
But few vacant residences in tn
city.
SPRING has come-the jackdaw
are here.
THE city election takes plac
next Tuesday.
BRENNAN is badly in need o
better side walks.
Why not extend tho city railway
line to the parks?
SAY, isn't it about time for base
ball clubs to blossom2
BRENNAN needs more railroads
and needs them badly.
OUR grand jury did some splen
did work before adjourning.
CRop prospects are fine, is tho
general opinion of our planters.
A GOOD Touring mill is one Of
the prime necessities of this city.
The total enrolment at the pub
lie schools is 595 whites and 4Os
colorcd.
SEVERAL tramps are to be seen
lounging around in the suburbs Of
the city.
LESS cotton and more corn, hog
and bominy is what this county
needs just now.
Tue city canvass is beginning to
warm up and candidates are now
quite active.
The Manifest at Firemen's Park
on the l4th and 18th OF May will
likely be the best ever given in
BRENNAN.
TIE members of the new mill
tary company are drilling up, and
will present a nice appearance at
The Mal-iest.
OUR city now has one of the
most efficient volunteer fire depart
ments in the state.
DRUMMERs are numerous and &C
tive; they report sales tolerably
fair, with ar upward tendency.
THE BANNER learns that our new
military company has not yet de-
cided as to what kind of uniform
they will adopt.
ELECTION TICKETS. = Candidates
desiring tickets for the city cleo
ton will please bring in their Or
ders by Saturday.
But few farmers are coming to
town now-all hands are busy in
the fields and the season is all that
could be desired.
OUR city is greatly in need of a
new calaboose the old rattletrap
now being used for that purpose is
a disgrace to the city.
The awning beng erected in
front of Mr.. I. A. Lows new
building will add greatly to the
looks of that portion of the city.
-
THERE is but limited demand
fory Dung stock cattle In this coun-
ty. Yearlings are quoted at Sc
and 81 per head, according to size
and condition.
IMPROVE the public roads and
keep them in passable condition,
is our advice to the citizens of
Brennan, if they would retain the
trad, of the surrounding country.
BRENNAN has nice grounds and
a fine race track, butitseems there
is no effort being made to get up
races over the course this spring.
For what reason, we are unable to
say.
WILL Brown, the negro boy OF
whom mention was maid on Thurs
day, and who escaped from a po-
lice officer, was arrested early
Thursday morning by deputy
sheriff and lodged in jail.
A NEW and interesting feature
has been added to the owl meet
1ngs-waftlng highly odoriferous
eggs at The colored orators. 1t is
fun for the spectators, but the ora
tors do not enjoy it. Fact.
DRHRsEN, the man who was so
badly wounded in the late outrage |
near Burton, was alive at last &C
counts, but was in a very preca-
r1ous condition, with all the chan
ces against his final recovery.
BRENNAN cannot afford to allow
any scheme, having for its object
the advancement and prosperity of
the city to go by default; hence the
necessity of building the Brennan,
Independence and Brazos Valley
railway.
