The fall of cotton has often Gre
ated panic and resulted disastrous
ly to thousands, but it seldom re-
suits so seriously as the fall of one
bale on Capt. T. G. Clay's place
near Independence, Monday, when a
little five year old colored boy was
killed by 1t.
He was left at the house while
the family were out in the field
picking cotton. There was bale
of cotton standing up edgewise in
the yard, and as he was found at
evening, when they returned from
the field under the bale, which had
been turned down on its side, with
his hands extended and the cotton
covering all but his head, the sup
position was that he went to Jump
up on it and turned it over on him.
The little fellow was cold and stiff,
indicating that the accident had in
all probability happened soon after
they LETT the house.

The Old and the New.

The old Baptist church has been
sold to Mayor j. a. Wilkins, for
500, and will at perhaps at an early
day be removed to give place to a
handsome new structure. The old
church was largely built of cedar
lumber and much good timber can
be saved out of it. Mr.. Wilkins is
required by the contract to move it
off leaving the ground ready for the
new building which they hope to be
able to start in the near future. At
last accounts about $500 of the
amount towards the erection of the
new church had been subscribed.

Mr.. F. A. TAYLOR, assistant train
master of the Santa Fe, eight years
ago an operator at this place, was
in the city yesterday. He is the
same gentleman who, when coming
out of Temple once, a crowd Of
toughs tried to run his train and
were occupying more room than
they were entitled to, and when he
demonstrated with them drew PTS
tolls on him, stood his ground,
talked back to them, pulled the bell
rope for the train to stop, and gave
the three taps for it to back up to
the station, some two or three miles
back, without attracting the atten-
ton of the toughs as to what he was
doing, and before they had ever
taken their guns off of him an officer
boarded the train, covered them,
and arrested them all on charges OF
OBTAINING the U. S. mail, interferr-
ing with an officer, delaying the
train, and carrying pistols. He had
engaged them so warmly in the
quarrel while they had him covered
that they didn't notice the train
running backwards.

WILL COME HERE.
BRENNAN the Southern Terminus of the
Nayasota Branch.

BRENNAN the Southern Terminus of thu
Navasota Branch.
Through trains from Navasota
run to Brennan now, arriving here
at 1:45 p. m, and leaving for Nava-
sofa at 4:10, arriving there at $50,
giving Navasota people and those
along the line a chance to come to
Brennan and do any amount of
trading and return the same day.
As Brennan has been made the
southern terminus Of the Montgom-
cry branch of the G.. G. & Santa Fe,
the trade of Brennan IS expected to
be materially increased, and mer-
chants of this city will be sleeping
over their rights, blind to their own
interests and reckless with their
main chance of increasing Bren-
hams trade very materially if they
don't make big effort to get the
people all along this line to coming
this way to do their trading. Some
inducement should be offered them.
The merchants might get together
and resolve to do something to
bring them, if it was only to pay
their railroad fare when they pur-
chased some stipulated amount of
goods. To be the southern termi-
nus of this branch, with such IA
vorable schedule to Brennan is no
small thing for this city if the effort
is made to turn the trade this way.
Do something.

Has Lost His Seventh.

Some time about the latter part
of June the BANNER published an
item to the effect that Mr.. Ed Wat
son had just lost horse, it beng
the sixth in the last few years and
all before he had owned them long
enough to get much service. The
beginning of the strange fatality
with Mr.. Watson's horses was one
which died with the collie, the sec
ond died from a snake bite, the
third was kicked on the shoulder
and died from the effects of it; the
fourth was struck on the head by a
falling limb, while in the pasture,
the fifth dying from some unknown
cause, the sixth getting tangled in a
rope with which he was tied and
killed himself. For some time he
hesitated about buying another, but
could not well do without one, and
purchased another, and was talking
about getting policy on its life,
but we never learned whether he
did or not, at any rate the seventh
one is dead and if Mr.. Watson is a
little superstitious about the strange
fatality that overtakes all the horses
he has owned for the past few years,
it is not without some grounds for
