How Tombstone Got Its Name.

Mr.. Warner, of Tombstone, l be-
Geve?"
Right you are, said man with e
big mustache and broad brimme.G
hat in the Office of the Brunswick.
''Yes, I'll tell you how Tombstone got
its name. In the early days, when the
Apaches were pretty bad around our
part OF the country, prospector came
along by the name of Ed Schifin. He
had been prospecting for a good while
without finding much of anything, and
when he announced his intention of
trying his luck around our camp (Which
was then totally without white popula-
tom he was warned that he would not
get back, and his friends would have
to go up and build tombstone on his
grave.
He went, though, and the first day
ne found a rich piece of float which
assayed g, $50. The man is now worth
g, 100000, and the place has had the
name of Tombstone ever since. In ap-
pearance he is a common miner yet.

GREENvINE GREETINGS.
GREENvINE, July 2, 1891.


BRENNAN BANNER The mercury
for some days has been running W
to 102 degrees in the shade; the
weather is hot and dry. Greenvint
has not had a good rain in two
months, and in consequence of the
protracted drouth the corn crop IL
this vicinity will be cut short, sc
that the farmers cannot count OF
more than a fourth of a crop OF
corn.
Hay making is the order of the
day, the farmers adhering to the Ole
adage, which says "make hay while
the sun shines" Perhaps 80 tons
or more has passed through Green
vine during the last ten days.
The health of this community is
good.
Rev. S. Hesig, of Houston, is here
visiting his son, DR.. E. S. Hesig.
Mrs. E. NJ. Amett, of Rockdale, is
visiting relatives at Greenvine.
Mr.. Jno. Bartels has gone to
Boerne, Kendall county, for his
health.
Two young school teachers, Will
liam Wendt and Thos. Lightfoot
have gone to San Antonio to attend
the normal school.
Mr.. Chas. R. Won Beiberstein has
gone to Austin to attend the sur
veyor's convention.
Mr.. Messmer, the gas we'll borer,
has gone a thousand feet under
ground and turned back. If the
citizens of Brennan want an artesian
well they would do well to employ
MIR. Messmer, for he never gets dis
coureged or stops half way.
Greenvine is slowly, but steadily
improving. One of your BRENNAN
Mr.. Korf, has recently
finished a nice residence for Mr.. c.
W. Fischer.
Well we are not going to wait
any longer for the railroad, for Mr..
T. ". Boone has commenced grad
ing the road west of Greenvine,
whether by Jay Gould's or the
county commissioners order, it is
not known.
The justice court of precinct No.
s, has about played out and litiga-
ton is at low ebb.

The Fourth at Burton.

The Fourth of July celebration at
Burton was largely attended ann the
115th anniversary of the signing of
the declaration of Independence be-
fttingly celebrated. Judge Beaure-
gard Bryan was the orator of the
occasion and viewed the history of
the Nation birthday from the battle
of Lexington when the first blood
of the revolution was spilled in
Aprllq775 followed by those Bun
ker Hill Ticonderogo and the in
vasiou of Canada, when reconcillia
ton become hopeless, and the con-
vention met at Philadelphia July
4th, 1855, and adopted that instru-
ment written by Thos. J. Jefferson,
announcing that thirteen American
colonies had thrown of the yoke OF
England for ever, and were free and
independent states.
Prof. Kruger, also of this. city,
spoke in German, and Judge L.
Kirk made a short talk.
There was music, dancing, feast
ing and rejoicing, and altogether the
celebration was a success.

NewsYork,s Night Workers.

The number of night workers in New
York would make quite formidable
army. 1t is calculated that $4,000
people begin their labors after dark and
their numbers are being constantly in
creased. The hotels and restaurants
employ the greatest humber, about 10,
900 people being necessary to supply
the city's night wants in that direction
The bakers come next on the list, and
that the sleeping portion of the city
may have its HOT rolls and fresh bread
for the coming day 1000 people are
laborirg. The saloon keepers and
their assistants number the same as the
bakers The butchers are 8, 900 strong
and the gardeners and marketmen are
equally numerous.
The steamboatmen and sailors, the
liverymen and hack drivers, and the
milkmen are 1000 in number. The
surface cars need 1900 men and tht
elevated roads 1900 There are 1000
engineers and firmen, LOCO district
messenger boys, LOCO printers, and
1000 men in the fire department The
different telegraph offices employ 700
men, and the journalists, postoffice
clerks and custom house inspectors
number each about 400. There are
LOO men in the police department,
and just one-half of these patrol the
streets every night. Then there are
private watchmen, laborers, fruit ven
ders, ETC., and the number is estimated
at 10000. Only for these night
workers the life and wellbeing of the
city would be sadly incomplete.-New

Changes of Climate

Kill more people than is generally known
Particularly is this the case III instances
where the constitution is delicate, and among
our immigrant population seeking new
homes in those portions of the West, and
where malarial and typhoid fevers prevail
at certain seasons of the year. The best pre-
parative for a change of climate, or of diet
and water which that change necessitates, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which not only
forfeits the system against malaria, variable
temperature damp, and the facilitating eff
fets of tropical heat, but is also the leading
remedy for consupitation, dyspepsia, liver
complaint, bodily troubles specially apt to
attack emigrants and visitors TO regions near
the equator, mariners tourists. Whether used
as a safeguard by sea voyagers, travellers by
land, miners, or agriculturists in newly popu-
lated districts, this fine specific has elected
the most favorable testimony.

The Ball and Banquet.

The ball and banquet given by the
young men in honor of "Our
Nettie" Monday night, was attended
by all the young folks and quite a
number of those who are no longer
in that class. A delicious cham
payne punch was served and E. P.
Curry, Esq, delivered the first
speech setting forth the purpose of
the banquet, and paying a glowing
tribute to Miss Estes, in whose
honor it was given, predicting a
a bright future for her at Hamilton
college, and how she would by win
ming laurels there, not only honor
herself, but the county and state
from which she goes.
Mr.. D. G. Giddings, Jr., respond
ed to the toast sour Nettie," and in
a happy effort took a prospective
view of her achievements and paid
a tribute to her worth, which found
a hearty response in the enthusiasm
felt by every one present.
]. D. Bryant, Esq, of Richmond,
spended to to the toast show it
looked to man that was in it." and
graphically described some of the
maneuvers of the battle of the
ballots.
Judge G. c. Garrett was called
upon and delivered a classic little
speech in which he portrayed to
Miss Nettie the difficulties she must
surmount to win the Iaurels that
she expected to return from Hamil-
ton wearing, showing that there is
no crown without its cross, no vic
tory without great labor.
Col. D. G. Giddings closed the
speech-making with a practical lee
ture which was replete with fatherly
advice and with wise suggestions to
govern her in her course through
Hamilton, that any girl could profit
by, who contemplated going away
to school. He spoke of the interest
manifested in the contest and how
whatever laurels she won at the
college would reflect credit upon
Brennan, the county and state
from which she went.
The entertainment was concluded
with grand ball which lasted until
a late hour.

A New European Sporting Resort.

For the sportsmen in search Of new
worlds to conquer some interesting
and trustworthy statistics are to hand
from country hitherto little visited,
and yet not difficult of access-to wit,
Bosnia. The name of this province
has long been associated with the maze
of political problems included in the
eastern question, but from official re-
ports published by the local author
tiles of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we
gather that these territories have some
special claims to the attention, not
only of statesmen, but of those who love
the pursuit of big game.
1t appears that the abundance of
bears in the highlands and of wolves in
the lowlards OF Bosnia is such that the
government offers capitation grants for
their destruction, and it is reported
that in consequence of these offers
during the ten years ending in 1889
SS4 bears and $3.50 wolves were de-
stroyed. In the one year-1SS5-as
many as 129 bears and 1,057 wolves
were killed, and about the same num-
Der in 1887. The central highlands of
Bosnia are said to be the principal
haunt of the bears, especially to the
south and west Of Trav;Iik and Sc
rajcvo, while northern Bosnia is over
run by wolves and harbors few bears.
There must be many sportslnen TO
whom it would be worth while to try
their luck in Il country 50 well stocked
with bears.-Land and Water.
