The BRENNAN Field Artillery ship
ped 13 horses, their gattling guns
and full equipments on a freight
early Friday morning.
Mr.. THos. ROCHE, who recently
committed suicide in Fl. Worth,
was well known here, having had
&<he contract for building the Santa
Fe road through here.
The doctors say that Brennan and
vicinity is healthier than it has been
at this season, for years, much
of which is attributed to the excel
lent fruit in this section.
THERE was a good crowd out
Thursday evening to witness the
guard mount, Inspection and drill by
the Light Guard, and listen to the
music OF the Light Guard band on
Main street.
A CAR that had been switched off
on the spur track at the Amsler
building for the Truck Growers to
load watermelons, run off at the end
of the switch Thursday and was de-
layed about two hours before they
got it back on
A COAT of paint is badly needed
on the city hall. The cupulo also
needs repairing, several Stats have
been broken out of the sash and
altogether it presents a dilapidated
appearance, and should be repainted
and repaired at once.
The BANNER has arranged for a
special correspondent to take in the
encampment at Austin, who will
endea7or to keep the Brennan peo-
pie informed as to what is going Oh
there, especially among the home
teams.
SETH, the little 9-year-old son of
Mr.. w. ". Searcy, while fooling
with % calibre pistol Thursday
evening", accidently discharged it,
the bali taking effect in his left fore
finger. The bail glanced around
the bone without breaking it, FORUM
ately only making a flesh wound.
INTEREST is growing in the meet
ing. Rev. Mr.. Williams rips up the
worldlians something after the man
ner of Rev. Sam Jones, creates com
ment and talk on the street corners,
and others not in the habit of going
to church go out to hear just what
he will say, and who'll be the next
to catch it.
The Central railroad company are
crowded for room IN their yard here
and are figuring on putting in more
side track, provided they can trade
for certain property that is in their
way-tbe' Mcdonald and II. Fisher
building for instance, They are
also figuring on buying the o.
Ilndeman lot adjoining.
WHETHER on account of competl-
ton, the commission or the general
excellence of its management, we
are unable to say, but the Central
railroad is making some excellent
time in handling freight. A gentle
man ordered a car OF ice from
Houston at 3 o'clock the other even
ing and it was received at u p. m.
TIE BANNER has on one or two oc-
casions previously mentioned that
in view Of the people having heard so
little about the constitutionalamend-
ments, which are to be voted on the
second Tuesday in August, that it
would be good idea to have mass
meeting for the purpose of discuss
ing these and urging the people to
turn out and vote for them.
Mn. EARNEST CAESAR, of McGregor,
half brother to Mr.. F. Fischer, of
this city, accidently shot himself
while out hunting last Saturday. He
was getting through wire fence,
just as he had got through, seeing
rabbit, he jerked the gun muzzle
foremost through the wires when it
was discharged, the contents taking
effect in his left shoulder.
Mr.. A WoEHLER put in some mo
tor fans in his bar room and restau-
rant some time since and endeay-
ored to run them with a gas engine,
which proved to be a failure. He
then introduced steam engine, but
it did not work to suit him and he
