The editor of the BANNER is in
debted to Mr.. Monday, the florist
and gardener, for some fruit which
he designates as new kind of fruit
the seed of which he got from Hi
nois. They are about the size of an
orange and resemble that fruit in
color. They look very much like
pomegranates, or the old-fashion
"smen melon" Mr.. Monday says
that when cooked into pies they
taste all the world like peach pies
and cannot be distinguished from
that kind of pie.

known citizen of Washington coun
ty, died at his residence four or five

ter a lingering illness of consump-
ton. He was about forty-seven

the county for several years. He
was for two or three terms county
commissioner from his precinct and

if he was salaried official. The
funeral will take place at four o'clock
this wednesday, afternoon, and all
of the old acquaintance of the de-
ceused and friends of the family are
invited to attend. The funeral Will

On Monday morning while DR.. J.
r. Williamson's buggy and horse
were standing in front of his resi-
dence adjoining the Santa Fe rail
road track a countryman came along
in a wagon to which horse and a
mule were attached and ran square
into the buggy, turning it complete
ly upside down and damaging it
considerably. There was ample
room for the driver of the wagon to
have avoided the buggy, and as he
was not drunk or blind, it is be-
lieved that he collided with the bug
gy Intentionally. After upsetting
and smashing the buggy the farmer
lashed his team into a gallop and
hurried off from the scene as rapidly
as possible. DR.. Williamson went
in hot pursuit of him, and overtak-
ing the team, seized the brides and
called Justify for policeman. Off
Ger Lockett responded and started
to put the countryman under arrest,
but an agreement was effected by
which the driver of the wagon was
to pay all damages done to the
buggy, and he was released. There
is a great deal of careless driving
done in the city, and it would be
well to make a few examples of
those who manifest reckless disre-
gard for other peoples property.

day about a countryman coming to

was the one alluded to, as he had
bought melons two or three times.
He excused his apparent thriftless-
ness and extravaganza by saying
that his ground was too rich to raise
melons, and that it takes light
sandy land, whereas his lard was
stiff black soil, and said that if he
didn't buy melons or beg them he
would have to do without.
