THE FRANK LESLIE SPECIAL TEXAS
EDITION.

EDITOR BANNER:-For sixty days
1 have read very carefully the com.
ments of the Texas press on the
merits of the special illustrated Tex.
as edition of the Frank Leslie news.
paper. In a great many instances
these notices have been very unfayor-
able, and in many instances have
been q furious denunciation and re-
pudiation of what the paper had to
say of Texas. I have withheld my
verdict until the publication was
completed, and now that this is done
simple justice impels me to say,
that 1 have read very carefully every
one of these Texas editions, and 1
must express my amazement at the
injustice of these criticisms. They
start out with an editorial on the
present status, wonderful growth,
and limitless possibilities of the
state. No words could be strung
together more truthful, or more
complimentary to Texas. Every
word in the entire edition, effecting
the state in the remotest degree is
calculated to impress the stranger
most favorably and add to its the
greatness, grandeur, growth and
glory, and the publishers are there
fore entitled to our everlasting
gratitude. One word as to BRENNAN
as shown is the edition. The Board
of Trade closed contract with a
representative of the proprietors for
two columns of space, paying for
the same $3.50. which included 100
copies of the paper. The copy has
been published almost exactly as
proposed, and where any
change has been made, it has been
made to be still more favorable to
the city. The position of the article
is prominent, and the reproduction
Of the railroad map of the city, fur
nished by Henry ]. Morgan issimply
faultless.
Upon the whole the Leslie people
have performed their part of the
contract with the people of Texas
honestly, intelligently, skillfully and
we'll, and will, 1 have no doubt be
The instrument of attracting millions
TO its shores.

To the Voters of Washington County

To the Voters of Washington County.
We the undersigned call your at
tention to the fact that the Republi.
can County Convention which con-
vened in the city of BRENNAN on the
18th day of September, 1890, en-.
dorsed Ben S. Rogers for county
attorney, G. Minkwitz for treasurer
and H. R. Won Biebersteln for sur
veyor. While we appreciate the
confidence expressed by the Repub-
ican party in US as officials, yet we
are the nominees of the Democratic
party, and it is upon that ticket that
we are making the canvass for the
offices that we seek, and we do not
desire that any voter of the county
should be misled by our names ap-
pearing on the Republican ticket
as it is our opinion that our names,
if used on that ticket, will be for the
purpose of misleading voters and
adding strength to it.
BEN s. ROGERS,

The BRENNAN Truck Growers As
scciation have selected the first
Saturday in each month as the time
for the regular meetings of the As
ISOLATION. The membership of this
Association promises to be con-
siderably increased at the next
meeting as there are number of
applications on file. Already more
than 200 acres have been pledged to
be planted in watermelons alone, by
members of the Association, and it is
believed that before planting time it
will be decided to plant several hun
dred more. If the Truck Growers
Association succeeds in making this
a truck growing section it will have
accomplished a good thing for this
county, and from the earnest man
ner in which they have started out,
we have no doubt they will.

ATTENTION is directed to the ad-
vertisement of Messrs. Murphy &
Koch, proprietors of the Ladies
Exchange Restaurant" This res
taurant claims to have the best cook
in the State, and is run in first class
style in every respect. The opening
of this restaurant filed a long felt
want in Brennan for a first class
restaurant where a gentleman was
not ashamed to take a lady to get a
meal. There you can get what you
want, as much as you want and at
any time you want it.

THERE is talk of a petition being
circulated for names of those who
favor having a policeman to look af-
ter the 4th Ward. If circulated it
will no doubt find numerous and
anxious signers, for no section of
the city needs the protection of po-
lice worse than around the depots
at night. With a petition from
the citizens of that Ward
the council would no doubt
make some arrangements to
protect them from the petit thefts
and malicious mischief perpetrated
in that part of the city.

A POPULAR young livery stable
man is soon to wed one of Bren-
hams fair daughters. There is so
many of the young men going to
marry soon, that they say that the
livery man, furniture dealer, and
an insurance agent have formed a
club to which all others are invited
to Join, for the purpose of getting
license at the club rates, believing
that the county clerk will issue
them by the wholesale cheaper.

The recent fire next to Lockett's
stables taught his horses the danger
of fire, and Saturday when the
alarm sounded they all ran out from
a back lot and 1t was with consider
able difficulty that they were
stopped. The fact of their recog-
nizing that it was the fire alarm so
quick, only having been turned out
one time for it, seemed a little re-
markable.

SCENE in a Brennan iewelry store:
A young lady apparently twenty
years of age enters with an easy
grace of manners, as if she come pre-
pared to treat herself TO set of
diamond ear rings, walks straight up
to the counter, aud in answer to the
polite inquiry as to what could be
shown her she said: '.Nutbin'
tall, I jest come in to see the pur-
ties; this mornin' was the fust time I
ever was in a iewelry store, and I
jest thought it was the prettiest
place I ever did see." Strange that
a grown young lady in this section
never struck a jewelry store before,
and the crowd all looked at her
curiously and wondered where she
could have come from.

BRENNAN does business in a quiet
unostentatious style, but BRENNAN
is still doing business at the old
stand. If you ask if this is whole
sale point half the people in the city
will answer in the negative, yet
there are several as large wholesale
houses here as can be found in any
interior city in the State, that are
doing an immense business in a way
that one would think they were
afraid to let it be known, how
much they are doing, for fear others
would embark in the same business
and take away their trade. BRENNAN
makes no claims, at least her citi-
zens do not ever blow about it be-
ing manufacturing city, but when
you take the time to count up the
manufacturing industries of Bren-
ham you will that she has exactly
twenty-seven. There are no flies
on Brennan.

The BANNER offers its voluntary
apology to Gay Hill. In mention
ing that Mr.. Tom Stribbling for
the Athletic Association, would offer
a purse of $4,000 to Sullivan and
Slavin to fight under it auspices, it
meant to say Clay Station, which is
Mr.. Stribblings home, instead of
Gay Hill. Mr.. Stribbling is the
gentleman who some time since shot
deer, during the season in which
they shed their antlers. The ball
creased the buck and stunned it,
and Mr.. Str1bbling says he put his
foot on the antlers and cut the
deers throat, but as the knife enter
ed the bucks neck it bounded up
leaving its antlers under his foot
and carrying his knife in its throat.
He run it for ten miles but finally
lost it. He keeps the antlers in re-
memberance of the strange expe-
rience.

The party of hunters that recent
ly went down on the Yegua awoke
dry and thirsty Sunday morning, to
find that they only had one pint
flask left and while deploring the
drouth that was inevitable to the
whole tea party, some one suggested
that pint would do for two, and
there was no use in the crowd starr
ing, so they would throw high dice
to see which Two should have all the
spirits. The two young men that
won refused to wet a whistle" save
their own, hence the early return
of very dry crowd with the excep-
ton of these two, who are the only
ones who enjoyed the hunt.
