Snowman Barnum has again offered to
sell all of his real estate in Bridgeport,
Conn, at one-fourth less than its value, if
Mr.. Cleveland is elected, but time he
makes the sale dependent also upon the cleo
ton of a democratic congr ess in both
branches. He says: 81 will put up $50, 900 in
cash, binding myself to comply with this
agreement on the conditions named, and
l will give 5000 to any man who
will secure a syndicate before the
election, that will put up like
sum and bind themselves to accept the
offer" AS an advertisement for Barnum,
this is very good. Very few people. how
ever, believe the old man means what he
saws.

Eli Perkins is wearing tobacco poultices
over his face as the result of too free use
of his mouth. He stopped in Winchester
Ky, the other day and ordered dinner at
Col. Andy Mitchells restaurant. Pretty
soon he concluded that his order was not

From Pleasant Grove.

The terrible weather last week,
which was agony to the young peo-
pie, also distressing to the older
ones, at last gave way to quite a
pleasant Xmas, which all seem to be
hugely enjoying in this vicinity.
Mr.. Quinton Bone, formerly of this
section, but who now owns ranch
out on the plains, is visiting his old
friends and participating in our
Xmas festivities. On the 26, party
of the elite of Giddings: viz Misses.
Eliza Moore, Carrie Knox, Anna
Cabbiness, and Emma Burnes, es-
corted by Mr.. George Cox, might
have been seen, exchanging their
seats in the cars for those in hacks,
which was awaiting their arrival at
the depot, to be driven to the resi-,
dence of Miss Carrie Bowers, with
whom they dined and spent the
night, the greater part of which was
passed in most pleasant sociable,
given in honor of them and Miss
of Austin, who is also visit
ing Miss Carrie.
Mr.. Dan Harrell, of Oenaville, ac-
companied by Misses. Daisy Talley
and Letea Harrell, are visitieg rela-
tives here. Mrs. VIM. Stuckert, of
your city, paid flying visit this week
to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Y. P.
Bowers. There was a dance given
at the residence of Mr.. Tom Gentry
last night. Marriages are as scarce
rs hens teeth, though we may have
one yet before Xmas is over, as we
hear of one disappointed swain still
carrying his license in his pocket.
Leap year will soon begin, and the
girls are threatening to make use
of its liberties with vengeance.

morrow to attend schoolat Giddings

A MEETING ought to be held imme
diately to place in Brennan in line
with the present immigration move
ment. Our delegate, Col. Giddings,
has returned from the meeting OF
the committee of 81 at Dallas. A
thorough organization of the com
mittee has been effected, and right
now is the time to begin county or
ganization in order that the peculiar
advantages of each particular sec
ton may be fairly exhibited. This
cannot be done without organiza-
ton. Money must be raised, some
competent man must be secured to
write up the county, and host of
other things are to be done, which
can only be done by thorough or
ganization. Washington county
ought not to be behind in this move
ment. We need the people, we
have room for them, and we have
to offer them, at least as
great, as any other section.

is tall and erect, and retains the
strength and vigor of manhood. He
has lived in Texas something over
fifty years, and after being enamel

and rented land, on which he has
made good living. He remembers
well the "run away scrapes" and the
hardships incident to those days.
He talks Familiarity about Davy

noted men who figured in Texas at
that early day, having made fires

INSTALLATION AND BALL.-The in
stallation of officers of the Cartimel
lodge, No. 80 I. O. o. F. took place
Tuesday night at the lodge room
near the GRADER building. The seats
were comfortably filed with specta-
tors. The ceremony of installation
impressed everyone as beautiful and
dignifed. The members all appear
to take great pride in their order,
which seems to be in a fourishing
condition. After the installation,
an invitation was extended to all
present to proceed to Eldridge hall
where most elegant feast had been
to which full justice was
done by the assembled guests. AT
forwards, dancing was INDUCED in to a
late hour, and every one left pleased
with the successful outcome of the
entertainment. The members of the
lodge deserve great credit for their
efforts to amuse and enter
tain the visitors.

The bad weather interfered seri-
ously with Christmas in the country,
and diminished popular enjoyment
to a great extent. Many dances
and entertainments, were entirely
given up on account of the weather.
Usually town and country people
interchange visits during the hol-
idays, and this was also prevented
to a great extent.
