THE TOWN OF BRoOKsHIRE.

Over the Prairie.

Brookshire. Texas, July Demonstrating
the fact that four years ago. where now
stands Brookshire with it's sixteen or
twenty business houses. there stretched
only the broad open prairie its growth
seems almost marvellous TO the eye of the
casual observer. But when one considers
its close proximity to Houston, its splendid
railroad facilities it's vast and untold
wealth In rich and fertile lands, its genial
and htalthful climate. then one can see
why there is sprnging up at this point one
of the very first business centers In
Southern Texas.
The business houses have more than
doubled in the past year and the good work
still goes on.
Mr.. j. II. Ferguson, one of the leading
men of the town, recently moved in from
Pattison, and has put up neat private
residence and handsome store i0XS0 feet.
which is wen filled with general stock.
T., Donniean, Esq, has just completed an
attractive two-story frame business house
while Mr., C. Fletcher has added to his pos
sessions large and commVdious structure
which he found necessary 10 enable him
to handle he increasing trade.
TWO churches and an excellent school
house grace the town, which is also sup
piled with a good hotel and well kept
livery stable.
The county is rapidly filling up with
both American and Bohemian farmers.
Crops of all kinds are A l. There will
probably be 10000 bales of cotton shipped
from Brookshire this season.
a protracted meeting at the Methodist
church Is now in progress. conducted by
the Rev. Sayers of Houston and the local
minister. Good results are anticipated.

SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, July S.-Regular
Correspondence.) Counterfeit dollars are
again making their appearance in this
city. Some one purchasing goods at ''The
Fair" got rid Of one of them. Later County
Assessor Kendall got one of them in pay
ment of taxes. Last Monday at the Ath-
letic park the ticket seller gave rs cents
good coin and ticket for another. None
of the coins so far discovered have the ap-
pearance of being recently made. About
two years ago Will Hildebrand of this city
was sentenced to San Quentin for counter
feting, and as he is now in the city again
it is probable that the old gang is at work
again.
The will of the late F. M. Slaughter, who
died at Rincon, will not be contested in the
courts as the contestant has brought about
a compromise, and sensational develop
ments that We're looked for will be lett
buried. The case has been dismissed.
1t is to be war to the knife between the
board of education and Janitors Aiiison

SHIPMENTS DOUBLED
FRUIT rs COMING IN BY THE
CARLOAD
Has Been Disposed of in This Market
Shippers All Tell the Same
Optimistic Story

Whether or not it is because of the in
quence of the low prices people have
eaten more, the fact nevertheless re-
mains that nearly 100 per cent more
fruit has been shipped into this market
this season than ever before. The fruit
shipping and commission houses are
unanimous in their reports of large in
crease of business, and not only has the
quantity increased but new sections are
shipping goods into this market
From Fresno melons have come by the
carload, from San Leandro valley three
or four straight carloads to one firm of
currants, gooseberries and cherries; from
along the Sacramento river, from Por-
terville, Tulare and Santa Rosa, local
tiles from which fruit has heretofore
rarely been shipped here, it has come
this year in quantities; and more, 1T has
| been consumed, rs per cent of it, right
| in this market.
Not more than 25 per cent. has beer
reshipped to outside towns, and It IL
| felt to be- due as much to the increase ir
population as to the fact of the low
prices, although it is conceded that ow.
ing to better methods of distribution the
fruit has reached the consumer this veal
