Rigid Economy.

There is a good stery told OF the
economical qualities of two we'll known
and wealthy gentlemen living in the
east part OF town that is good lesson
for those recklesly egtrayagaDt persons
who are not possessed Of the true spirit
Of economy. On certain night one OF
these gentlemen called on the other to
transact little business at the formers
residence. The host lighted candle
that they might examine some papers,
but he Immediately blew it out again
when they were through, leaving both
sitting in the dark.
"Why did You blow ont the candleT'
asked the caller.
"Oh, we can talk in the dark az well
as in the light, and it saves the candle
was the reply,
They continued their conversation for
short time, when the host heard some
mysterious sounds coming from the di-
rection of the callers chair, and asked
what his friend was doing.

TWO HANDSOME STOCKS.
A BANNER reporter was recen

A BANNER reporter was recently
shown through the handsome Gents
Furnishing Goods establishment Of
Mr.. E. Hoffman, on the north side
of Main street. 1t was early in the
morning before the usual crowd OF
customers had tumbled the stock,
and heater and more conveniently
arranged store the reporter has not
seen in the city.
Everything was tastefuily arranged
and easy of access for the con7en-
fence of his customers on the first
floor, and besides the elegant line
of men, boys. and children's cloth
ing, of which he carries perhaps the
largest and most varied stock in the
city, his elegant and unique shoe
department is the most convenient
and tastefully arranged of any in the
city. A long line of folding-door cab
inets, the height of the counter, easy
of access, reaching the length of the
store, containing large and varied
stock of boots and shoes of every de-
scription, graces the first story, but
this was not all, in the second story
there are piles upon piles and stacks
upon stacks of clothing and furnish
ing goods.
The store is model of neat
ness and convenience, and the clerks
polite and accommodating. The
genial proprietor is a substantial,
reliable man, and when you trade
with him you have the assurance
that you will be honestly and fairly
dealt with. He is a wide-awake
thorough-going business man, fully
alive to the interest of his bust
ness and will let no opportunity
pass to offer his customers induce
ments to continue trading with
him, giving them the advantages
of his experience in the selection of
such goods, which were purchased
with special reference to the trade,
for spot cash, in large quantities,
thereby enabling him to give them
the advantage of all discounts.
Next door to him, is the two-story
wholesale and retail store of Mr.. R.
Hoffman, through which the repor-
ter was shown at the same time, of
which much could be written, but
our limited space precIudes further
comment to-day.

A Broken Leg.

DR.. W. A. Lockett returned We'd
nasday evening from LaGrange
where he was summoned by tele-
graph Tuesday night, to attend Mr..
Chauncey B. Shepard, who is there
with his leg broken. He left here
several days ago with a party for a
months camp hunt. Tuesday the
party purchased mule from a gen.
tleman for $40 with the understand
ing that he was to give them $35
for it on their return month hence,
and MIR. Shepard mounted the ami
NAL and before going a great dis
lance was thrown, the mule kicking
him on the leg breaking one bone of
it. He will be brought home, reach
ing here Thursday or Friday. His
many friends here will regret to
learn of the accident.

A Lady Assaulted by a Black Brute.

A gentleman of this city who has
just returned from trip below here
stopped over Wednesday night at
Kinney, ten miles south of here, and
heard the particulars of a terrible
crime there which happened day
or two ago, but the news of which
was being kept quiet in the hope of
capturing the fiend.
Mr.. Harris left home to deliver a
beef to butcher, and when his
wife, who is said to be young and
handsome woman only II years of
age, went out to feed her husbands
horse, just as she reached the horse
lot gate a negro emerged from his
hiding in the high weeds near by, and
pulled her short distance into the
rank weeds, where he attempted a
eniasus offense. Her struggles and
steams caused the brutal wretch to
beat her most cruelty, after which
he abandoned her, the family say
before accomplishing his purpose,
though the lady received serious in
juries. Herdower limbs W ere scratch
ed and bruised and her face badly
hurt where he stepped on her. Her
cries were heard, but those who
heard them, supposed it was some
boys who had been creating con-
siderable noise in the vicinity, and
were not responded to. The lady
was so badly hurt and laboriug un-
der the excitement and shock to her
nerves passing through such an Or
deal that it was some time before
she could give sufficient DESCRIPTION
of her assailant for parties to begin
a search for him, and no clue had
been picked up when our informant
left there. She described hun as
black, thick-lipped, heavy set negro,
wearing a SLOUGH hat and pair of
thick soled brogan shoes.

a Long Felt Want Supplied.

For some time one of the crying
necessities of Brennan has been fo-
place where you could go any time
of the day or night and get a first
class meal to order. Messrs. Muir
ply & Koch recognizing this neces-
sity, have opened on Sandy street
opposite the BANNER Office, such
place. Opening on the street is a
neat little Office in which will be
sold confectionaries, fruits and ei-
gars by the clerk of the establish
ment MIR. Elisha Parker. Separated
from this Is large diningroom neat
ly papered and carpeted, the walls
hung with beautiful dining room
pictures, and furnished with six
tables, neatly and elegantly laid.
Back of this cut off by a close parti-
ton is the neat little kitchen, pre-
sided over by an imported cook.
Ernest Lenthold, who thoroughly
understands the business, end can
fill orders for anything in frst-class
style from an oyster stew to the rarest
delicacy. The restaurant will be
run as it has been fitted up, in first
class style, on the European plan,
where you can go and order whatey-
er you want, paying only for what
you get. No effort will be
spared to keep this place up to the
standard of excellence at which it
opened up, and improve upon it
whenever opportunity presents its
self. Besides getting a first class
meal there at any time of the day,
of whatever pleases your fancy or
tickles your palate, they will keep
fresh oysters on hand at all times
for sale for family use.

a SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A two horse team runaway late
Monday evening, starting in front of
Murphy's saloon, in which were two
German farmers a lady and child.
The one that was driving fell out as
the wagon turned the corner but
was not hurt. Mr.. VIM. Lambert,
of Prairie Hill, was the other gen
tleman, he jumped out to stop the
team and broke his leg just above
the ankle. This left the lady and
child alone in the wagon with the
horses running at full speed, and
but for the heroic courage of Mr.. S.
J. Simon, who at great risk ran in
front of them, caught the lines, and
by persistent holding on stopped
them, thereby saving the lady and
child from probable fatal disaster.

SELLS-BARRETT.

These talismanic words blaze on
almost every dead wall, bill board
and fence in this place. These two
names have become household words
in every state and territory in the
union. Sells Brothers have achieved
enviable fame as purveyors of amuse-
ment from one coast to the other,
and are known as the proprietors
and personal managers of the finest
circus, mensgerie and hippodrome
in the world. Barrett has become
scarcely less renowned. His exhi-
bition has been noted chiefly for the
excellence of the performance as
well as the character of its manage
ment. Sells Brothers traversed this
country last year, and everywhere
their exhibition was pronounced
''au fait." It was a coup de grace"
on their part of the country, to open
negotiations toward a consolidation
and which was accomplished. These
two truly great shows will now
travel together, giving joint parades
and joint exhibitions. The success
of the undertaking is already as
sursd. Notwithstanding the enor-
nous expense of the enterprise the
price of admission is unchanged.
Both shows will be at Brennan on
Monday October q.

Heavens food-gates, and took the
starch out of much holiday attire
But there was nothing to do but
take it.
Preceding the procession a crowd
had gathered at the Park which was
also decorated for the occasion,
Germania Hall being magnifcently
decorated, and furnished with special
reference to the occasion. The Bell
vile and Sealy contingency joined
with festivities just after the arrival
of the procession, their arrival being
cheered to the acho.
A large platform S0xS0 was in
closed for those who wanted to
dance, but the rain rendered it IN
serviceable while the reporter was
on the grounds, though the sweet
strains of music gave many desire
to take a turn. Lively airs kept the
crowd lively and they seemed deter
mined to make the most of the &C.
casion, rain or no rain. The damp
weather threw no damper on the
enthusiasm of the crowd, and though
it was raining, beer flowed almost as
freely as water
Among those booked for speeches
were Prof. Kreuger, 81. Muller, and
Judge c. C. Garrett, and though
the reporter did not hear the adj
dresses he takes it for granted that
they were appropriate, well timed
and eloquent.
German day will long be remem-
bered as an event in the history of
Brennan, and the celebration was
a success in spite of the rain.

Mr.. THos. AWAIT, independent
candidate for Sheriff was in the city
Saturday. The BANNER reporter
had the pleasure of meeting the
gentleman, and found him very
pleasant, though little sore on the
BANNER for its aggressive democra-
cy. The BANNER is democratic and
hardly less could be expected of it
than that it would throw all the
cold water it can on the election of
republicans. However, if Mr.. Await
is elected he impressed us as man
who would make fearless and eff
Gent officer, besides he is not re-
publican, and two years ago was the
first time he ever scratched demo-
cratic ticket. In State and National
politics he votes the Democratic
ticket straight, but in county poll
tics, is independent.

Murphy, and at their residence on
Sandy street, surrounded by about
twenty-five of her sweet little friends
she celebrated the event in magnifi-
cent style.
They had swings and ropes to
jump and were delighting them
selves to their hearts content on the
beautiful lawn and among the flow
ers, when the reporter peeped in.
He was met at the gate by the little
hostess and accepted her invitation
to see the pile of beautiful presents
by her admiring friends, the follow
ing of which is an incomplete list !:
Miss May Mcfarland, scrapbook.
Miss Myrtle Mcfarland, ehilds

ents by relatives and friends from

At 5 o'clock the little lassies
formed according to size on the
lawn and marched to the dining
room where awaited them banquet
feast fit for the Gods. The table
was beautiful, beside its burden of
cake, fruits, and CONNECTIONS of every
kind, two large stands of choice
flowers ornamented the table.
Miss Mamie was queen of the
hour, surrounded by happy throng
of sweet little friends, among whom
she circulated endeavoring to see
that all participated in the festivities
with the grace that would have done
credit to one much older.
The BANNER acknowledges the re-
ceipt of a handsome waiter, and
wishes for Miss Mamie the return
of many anniversaries that she may
spend as happily.

A BANNER reporter was shown a
day or two ago a long letter from a
e'green goods dealer" in New York,
who invites his victims to the city to
fleece them. He encloses an imita-
ton clipping from New York paper
about expert counterfeiters to make
the bait more tempting. Numerous
men have been feeced in this man
ner, but it was a Texan who put
one to sleep in New York few
years ago when the green goods
dealer went to change packages on
him. 1t is strange these men can
not be apprehended and their ne
farious business broken up.

That Kipner,r1ls Outrage.

The account of the outrage by a
negro brute on a lady at Kinneyville
the other day was correct as report
ed in the BANNER, with the excep-
ton that the lady was Mrs. Harri-
son instead of Harris, and was not
as young as stated. The lady is a
daughter of Mr.. 2. Hammond, of
Hampstead. The country has been
secured for the culprit, who, if
caught, will be summarily dealt
with, but he seems to have covered
well his tracks as not the slightest
trace of him has been discovered.
