BRENNAN TALENT ABROAD.

The following deserved compli-
mentary notice of a Brennan young
lady is clipped from the Austin
Statesman of recent date:
"Miss Lula Curry opened her
music school here on last Tuesday.
As a result of her work of last
session Miss Curry won the conf
dence and plaudits of all of her
patrons. She is an instructor of
rare ability in both instrumental and
vocal music, and those wishing their
children to become adept in
either or both arts should not fail to
take advantage of the present oppor-
tunity to secure the services of one
of the best teachers in the country"

BOOMING THE TOWN.

The proprietor of the BANNER was
approached on the streets on Mon
day and informed by certain we'll
known citizen that he had been ap,
pointed a committee of one by a
proposed Joint stock company, to
confer with US relative to the pur,
chase of the BANNER plant, and
asked the price. After telling him
that the office was not really for
sale, but reluctantly naming a very
reasonable price, we were informed
that our figures were too high; that
they did not want to make any
money out of the enterprise, but
wanted simply to BOON THE TOWN. "
Just what he meant by blooming
the town" is quite difficult to under
stand from his standpoint. 1t is a
notorious fact that the BANNER has
worked faithfully and energetically
for the advancement of the interests
of Brennan for the past "a years it
has advocated every prominent en-
terprise and measure that has
amounted to anything in the town,
such as the building of a compress,
new courthouse, opera house, oil
mill, gas works, ice factory, sausage
factory, city railway, public schools,
pulp factory, &c, without the hope
of reward all of which have as
sumed shape; but, we are sorry to
say, some of the enterprises have
had to succumb to the inevitable,
viz :: the city railway, gas works, ice
factory and oil mill.
Now, a few words with this new
"would-be boomer" would not likely
be amlss. If YOU are really in earn
est about blooming" the town, just
take our advice, and invest some of
your idle capital in a stock com
panY to run the oil mill, which now
lies idle; electric lights, a broom
factory, a cordage factory, can
ming establishment, and many other
small industries we might name.
Turn loose your money and build
up Brennan enterprises and stop
your eternal kicking.
The BANNER is willing to do what
is Legitimate and right in the way of
building up Brennan enterprises,
but the BANNER is powerful stick
les for the truth, and does not in
tend to make any false representa-
tons in order to ''boom the town"
Sabe.

RAISE YOUR OWN FEED.

As the floats were passing up a
prominent street from the depot
Thursday heavily loaded with bran,
gentleman said to the reporter:
''See that feed? It's strange that
people of this county should have to
BUY feed of any kind. They ought
to raise it to sell. There is no Sec
ton better adapted to the raising of
stock feed than Washington" And
after a short pause in which he
seemed to be mentally soliliquising
on the folly of having to ship corn
and bran, and even hay, here from
other places not as well adapted to
the raising of it as Washington
county, he said: ''It's easy to raise
all you need, and as an illustration"
said he, 'this year 1 planted a ten
acre filed, and after cutting one acre
of the corn green, on which L fed my
stock this summer I have gathered
from the other nine 800 bushels of
corn, 500 bundles of fodder and sew
eral stacks of hay, enough to feed
my two horses and cows all the year."
He didn't seem to think that it was
any extraordinary yield for his nine
acre patch, either, though thirty
three and third bushels of corn to
the acre is good corn for any place,
and in some sections would be con-
sidered marvellous yield. But the
story Of what he done on this nine
acres shows that there is no reason
why there should be large shipments
of stock feed to BRENNAN or any
other point in Washington county.
A very small place will make enough
to obviate the necessity of shipping
such products from other sections.

LILLE WHITES CONSPICUOUS FOR
THEIR ABSENCE.
Not Quite Full Ticket Nominated.

NOT Oulte a run Ticket
The county Republican Conven-
ton, pursuant to a cali of the chair
man of the Executive Committee
met Thursday.
The clans were gathered at Camp
town around little lions church, i'll
the eastern suburbs of the city, dis
cussing the probable result OF their
meeting by one o'clock and at 2 p.
M, W. H. Blount, colored, chair
man of executive committee called
the meeting to order and put in the
chair as negro who knew no more
about parliamentary usages than a
hog about Sunday. With the aid
of assistants, however, he managed
to get a vote of the delegates for a
temporary chairman and secretary,
which resulted in the election of W.
81. Blount for the Guardianship and
H. d. VIM as secretary and on
permanent organization they were
retained in the same positions.
Looking over the delegation, only
A of whom answered to roll call, it
could be seen at a glance that it was
distinctly a negro convention. A
typical negro convention, represent
ing every class of them from the
Earned" parliamentarian, who prides
himself on his political chicanery
upon which he depends for his
<.fooence," to the simple. minded
"oId plantation darkey," of anti-bel-
}um days, who knows well enough
how to manipulate pig sty OF hen
roost, whose wool has whitened
during his schooling, but would
no more embarrassed to be caught
in a watermelon patch, and consid-
cradle more at home pulling the bell
cord over a bucking mule, where his
sonorous "whoa, dar," could stop
something, for it couldn't in the con-
vention.
The preliminary skirmish being
over, the convention proceeded with
"what they were there for, the nomi-
nation of a ticket, to make a show
of organization, with no chance for
OR hope of election, with the follow
ing result:
For county judge, W. G. Brazier,
of Burton, white
For sheriff, Thos. Await, of Bur-
ton, white.
For district clerk, H. D. Winn, of
Chappell Hill, colored.
For tax assessor, Julius Hope, of
Burton, white.
For tax collector, j. Fl. Hutchin-
son, of Brennan, white.
For representative, ]. G. Cain, of
Brennan, colored.
There were too many offices for
the number of aspirants present and
the nomination for county clerk,
treasurer, county attorney and coun-
ty surveyor, went begging. The
executive committee will solicit men
to run for these offices.
Delegates to the foatorial conven'
ton to meet at Caldwell were ap-
pointed, and the curtain of night
falling upon the assemblage, they
dispersed without electing a chair
man of the county executive commit
tee or awaiting for motion to ad-
journ.

TO THE HONORABLE DISTRICT
COURT OF WASHINGTON CO:

We the grand jury of Washington
county at the close of our session at
the Fall term of 1890, of the District
court of Washington county, beg
leave to make the following report,
to wit:
Upon visiting the county poor
farm of Washington county, we
found eight paupers on hand. Two
whites and six colored, SIX male and
two females. Houses and fencing
in very good condition. All inmates
are very well satisfied with the man.
agement of Mr.. Wilfrr.
The county jail of Washington
county we found in a rather ordina-
ry condition, that is, not as far as
the duties of the Tailor are con-
cerned; on the contrary, the cells APP
peared clean and the prisoners upon
questioning them seemed to be well
satisfied with their treatment and
board.
The court house, its various
rooms and furniture we found in ex-
cellent condition, chairs and desks
free of dust, halls and stairways
well swept, courthouse yard and
shrubbery looking clean and grow
ing nicely. We can not help but
commend the janitor's performance
of his duties.
During our session we found
twenty-six bills, which we think in
comparison with the work of former
grand juries shows remarkable de-
crease of crime in our community.
We have been in session II days.
Our bailiffs have been very faithful
in the discharge of their duties, and
have never retarded our labors by
failing to summon a witness.
W. 81. ELDRlDGE,
Foreman of the Grand Jury.

A GENTLEMAN who has been work
ing eight head of horses out On the
Nayasota branch for the past week
or two has been trying an expert
ment with feed, the result of which
may be of interest to those who have
stock to feed. Four of the horses
he has been feeding on corn and
oats and four on cotton seed meal
and hulls. The work of each
quartette is the same, and the four
that he has fed on the cotton seed
mealand huils are getting fat, while
the others on corn and oats have
been growing thinner. He is of the
opinion that the cotton seed meal is
the best food for work animals and
his experiment bears him out in it.

friends and the immediate relatives OF
the bride Thos. Turner, Esq, led to

The groom Mr.. Turner, is young
lawyer of bright prospects, already

Brenham's fairest daughters.
The bride is the charming daugh-
ter of Dr. W. A. Lockett, promin-
ent physician of this place, and one
of the fairest flowers in the social
circle of Brennan, which is noted as
a veritable boquet of the fairest that
blooms.
The presents were numerous and
costly, furnishing abundant evidence
of thepopularity of the bride, list
of which are not published out of
consideration for one of the brides
chiefest graces, modesty.

Outside Influence.

From a number of the leading col
ored republican politicians it is
learned that one reason why the
''fxed slate" was shattered at the
recent republican convention held in
this city was that they didn't like the
outside interference. They are very
well satisfied to run their own ma
chine and parties from a distance
coming in to dictate to them, do sc
on an unwarranted presumption
that they have not the confidence
in themselves to pull through with
out outside help. They are getting
tired of it, hence their refusal to en-
dorse the ticket prepared for them
it is said, by visitor who holds a
government position.

will not lose his arm, though it look
cd very bad at first, having twelve

A Valuable Invention.

The BANNER reporter was shown
the model of new invention Satur-
day which promises a fortune to the
inventor. Mr.. E. A. Franklin, an
inventive genius, who for twenty
years studied patents and is the in-
ventor of many valuable ones, has
just completed the model OF a safe
fish-lock, thing that the railroads
are looking for, ieasmuch as it is
from spreading rails caused by inse-
cure fshplates that causes a large
per cent of the railroad accidents.
This invention is a model of simple
ity, an automatic spring fastening
the nuts at every turn forward so
that they can't be turned backwards
by persons disposed to wreck a
train by this popular method of re-
moving the fish plates and allowing
the rails to spread, and all the jar
ing of ages would not turn them
backwards one iota. The cost of
manufacture will be comparatively
nothing and the simplicity of its
working recommends it. Like all
good inventions it seems strange
when you look at that, with the
pressing demand for improvements
in fish plate fastening, that no one
has thought of it before. The
BANNER congratulates Mr.. Franklin
and trusts that there will be no de-
lay in getting his invention patented.
and reaping the reward that his
genius deserves.

Finn, colored, charged with the
murder of his wife few months
ago near Chappell Hill, came up and
he plead guilty, receiving a sentence
to the penitentiary for life. His
plea of guilty is believed to have
saved his neck, as the opinion was
almost universal that he would
stretch hemp.
