THE OIL MILL.

Manufacturing industries are the
guide posts to a citY's greatness.
They furnish employment to wage
earners, and wage earners are the
support of a cities trade. Every
manufacturing establishment started
up is a milestone passed. In Bren-
ham there is an oil mill standing
lidle, a mile stone on the road of
progress in sight and Brennan dali
Ping by the wayside. Shall we
bntinue this procrastinstion until
me has crumbled this guide-post
of progress, and in our march left a
lap unmarked? Well, we should
mot, at least. BRENNAN cannot af-
ford it. IF one by one, these mile
stones of progress are allowed to de-
cay or more progressive travellers on
the same road allowed to rush
ahead and remove them from our
road, soon we will be lost On the
plains, wandering aimlessly about,
knowing scarcely from whence we
drifted or whittier we are going.
This milestone is now in open view
only a short distance ahead, and by
a small effort can be reached. Fifty
thousand dollars will reach it, and
&e understand that three men have
agreed to put in $4,000 each, put
ting us within $4,000 of it. Let it
be the first goal of Brenham's ambi-
,cs6n- to reach The amount is a
mere pittance compared to the ben
eft its starting up will be to Bren-
ham and the surrounding country.
The oil mill will not only consume
the cotton seed of this section, linus
furnishing a home market for a
farm product and supply the paper
pulp factory with raw material
hulls-for the manufacture of paper
pulp, but in addition to this, home
market can be found for the cotton
seed meal, making it cheaper by rea-
ason of the freight that it costs to
lit here now. 1t will furnish EN-.

1t is needless to attempt to give only the
vaguest outline of the wonderful success
which Pe-ru-na has met with in the cure of
catarrh. This success is entirely due to the
fact that Pe-ru-na eradicates the disease
from the system instead of temporarily re-
leving some disagreeable symptom,

THE NEGRO KILLING.
Definite Information Will Require a
Court Investigation.

Definite Information Will Require
Court Investigation.
In the row at negro frolic about
mile north of the city Saturday
night in which Bill Seadon was
killed, and Will Cole wounded,
there seems to have been several
participants and the various &C
counts of it are so different that it
would be too much for the BANNER
to endeavor to tell its readers the
full particulars, for it is doubtful if
a preliminary Investigation where
the witnesses will have to make
their statements under oath, will de-
velop a true account of it. About
the only points on which there is no
dispute is that Bill Seadon was
killed and Will Cole wounded. DR..
Hynes examined the wound of the
dead man carefully, removing the
scalp for that purpose, and arrived
at the conclusion that he was shot
with a gun loaded with slugs lighter
than lead, and struck on the head
with an axe, or some heavy weapon.
In JAIL.
Jackson Howard was arresSed
Saturday night and incarcerated in
jail by Deputy Sheriff Sails, who
then searched for Bob Meredith I'M
til 4 a. m. Sunday morning, but
without being able to catch him. Sun
day morning, however, he went to
the home of Constable Boyd to sur
render, but he was not at home.
Deputy Sails heard of this and
thinking he might change his mind
about coming in, went out and met
him coming toward the city and
brought him in, placing him in jail
Both of these men are charged with
the killing, and both deny any
knowledge Of it.
The first man to reach the city
from the scene of the conflict was
Louis Allcorn and he related that
Bob Meredith was the man that had
the gun, an old musket; that he saw
it in his hands cooked, and after
wards heard the report, but didn't
know who fred it. Will Cole, the
wounded negro, said Saturday night
that negro by the name of Ridley
did the shooting, but we under,
stand has since said that Meredith
did it. No one seems to know who
used the axe which was found sus-
piciously convenient and which is
supposed to be the weapon which
made one of the wounds on Sea-
don's head, discovered by Dr.
Hynes at the examination.
