The Optimist's Glass.

Amid the disasters, wrecks and
disappointments of the opening year.
it Is gratifying to note the tremors
of returning prosperity in South
Texas. Its tremendous agricultural
resources and products that supply
the worlds needs and imperative
demands, it's unrivalled fertility of
soil will push it to the front and on
top in the race for prosperity and
progress, despite adversely at home
or abroad. It is Impossible to re-
strain the advancement and greatness
of people that possesses the un-
rivalled plethora of resources that
characterize this favored section,
Let the people unite with industry,
frugality and economy and work for
independence from the cankering
shackles of credit, and soon their
capital will be sufficient for their
own needs, and their generosity and
ambition to excel will employ it
wisely and iudiciously.

MURDER AND DROWNING.

Jealousy Causes Trouble Among the
Colored People of Sand Prairie.
"a Navasota special of the 18th
says:
At late hour last night the news
of a shooting afray and suicide at
Sand Prairie reached this city, and
that there was considerable excite
ment among the colored people of
the community, which is in this JUS
tice precinct, about three miles from
Navasota.
Al Kennard was the desperate
man and bent upon avenging
wrongs, imaginary or otherwise,
supposed to have been done him.
Al had become extremely jealous of
the attentions paid his wife by an
other colored man named Bart Gus>
tus, and to put an end to his
troubles, he went to his cabin on
Lewis j. Wilson's plantation, took
his shotgun from the wall and sent
three buckshot through the middle
of Georgia Ann Kennard's body,
from which the attending physician
says she will not recover. Kennard
then started Oh hunt for Gustus.
He was met by MIR. Gus Black, who
took his gun from him, and thinking
he was disarmed, let him go. Col
ored people who had heard of Ken
nard's intention quickly informed
Bart Gustus. When Kennard put
in his appearance Bart gave his
nimble legs a splendid opportunity
to display their abilities, and before
al could get a clear shot was too
far away to be in much danger, so
was not touched.
From there Kennard made
straight for the Brazos river. Mr..
Black, who by this time was in hot
pursuit, arrived on the bank a few
moments after the plunge and is
said to have seen the man rise to
the surface three times and disap-
pear forever.

CHAPPELL HILL ROMANCE.

On her way to Baylor College Hiss julia
Justice WEEDS Mr.. Conway Booth.
When man looked for the first
time upon the barren waste of an
untried world he wept for the
traquil Wales of Eden, but woman.
trusting the man she loved, sighed
not for the past, but looked to the
future and with that divine spark OF
intuition saw behind the ragged
mountain the smiling hand of pros
mise. She solaced his heart and
strengthened his faltering steps
with the tears of sympathy and the
sunshine of love, coaxed the barren
soil until the flowers of hope and
progress bloomed along his paths
way, and when at last he reached
the mountain tops and saw the light
of new world dawn in the east, in
gratitude to the woman who with
patience and endurance had kept
ever at his side, he gathered the
choicest flowers her own loving
hands had planted, the flowers of
hope, of love, of fortitude and con-
tentment and crowned her the queen
of civilization. In all ages gentle,
loving woman has welded the
scepter of inspiration.
In the morn and liquid dew of
youth Mr.. Conway Booth and Miss
Julia Justice, we'll known and
popular young people of our
neighboring city, Chappell Hill,
have embarked on the matrimonial
sea, in which enterprise the BANNER,
in common with other well wishers,
hope for them long prosperous
and happy voyage. The voyagers
are both on the sunny side of their
teens. The ceremony was solemized
at EIgin Monday evening, the bride
being on her way to Bolton to COM
plete a course at Baylor Female
College.

THAT ROUND HOUSE.

Brennan Thought to be in Line OF Pro-
motion for Santa Fe Improvements
There was a rumor floating around
loose in the city Wednesday, which,
if it can be materialized will make
the wheels of the city's prosperity
whirr with the energy which the
Aladdin's lamp of the present time
ready money-always brings. The
rumor was nothing more nor less
than that the Santa Fe railway COM
pany had submitted a proposition to
certain leading business men of the
city to the effect that for a reason
able loan and certain amount of
land suitable for their buildings and
tracks, they would move their round
house from Sealy to Brenham.
Brennan is the logical location
for the round house, being the
temiuns of the Navasota branch of
the Santa Fe, of about equal dis
lance between Temple and Calves
ton, and the only city of any i'm
portance between those two places.
There may or may not be any
thing of Importance in the above
rumor, which is given for what it is
worth and no more. One thing,
however, is certain, BRENNAN is pre-
pared to entertain any reasonable
proposition along this line, and will
meet it on halfway ground, or a
little beyond that point, of necces-
sary.

Not Guilty.

In justice court Friday afternoon
Maggie Stinsel, a strawberry colored
bell of Csmptown, was arraigned on
charge of disturbing the peace.
Stated more specifically the charge,
preferred by John Matthews, alleged
that on Thursday night the defends
ant did curse and abuse the said
John Matthews in manner reason
ably calculated to provoke breach
of the peace, against the peace and
dignity of the Lone Star common
wealth. The defendant was repre-
sented by Mr.. G. Wiebusch, who
made his initial appearance as q
member of the Brenham bar, as an
sppointee of Justice Ewing. The
states witnesses failing to make out
a case against the defendant,
County Attorney Buchanan moved
to dismiss the case and Justice
Ewing told her to go home.

RAPID TRANSIT LAUNDRY.
The Young Laundry Wagon Doing
Rushing Business.

Rushing Business.
Things grow dull in BRENNAN oc>
casionally, the same as in other
towns, but you can count on q
renaissance of festivities here with
the same degree of precision that
the astronomer calculates eclipses or
tells US when a new laid comet will
indulge in a little pyrotechnic horse
play by way Of diversion.
The mild form of monotony which
has held the boards hereabouts for
the past few days got a crimp put
in it Friday when the horse that
pulls Young's laundry wagon gave
an intrepid equestrian performance,
beginning near the Union depot and
extending via West street to Main
street and up that thoroughfare to a
telephone post in front of R. Hog>
mann's.
Hal Coleman oficiated as time
keeper plenipotentiary and bottle
holder extraordinary during the ex-
ercises, while Harry Jacobs assisted
in a part of the equestrian act. Los
ing his balance Just as the curtain
went down or the first act, the dar-
ing driver of the laundry hippodrome
went down between the wheels of
the soiled linen chariot, the last
wheel of which passed over him, in
ficting a few bruises, but not
breaking any bones. The atmos-
phere in the immediate vicinity of
the runaway was for time impreg-
mated with dust, hair, horse, driver,
laundry wagon, whoops and exple-
tives, and the surrounding elements
were thick with debris.
Finally quiet was restored, order
creeped out of chaos, those who
had taken to the woods returned,
the proud spirit of the horse
was subdued, and very little damage
done.
"Old Sorrel Top" the quad
ruped hero of the above narrative, is
fonder of running away than the
most ardent pair Of lovers whose
hearts ever beat as one, and when it
comes to q matinee performance
through the principal thoroughfares
of the city with the least possible
damage, he is q star of the first

AS result of the action of the city
council last Monday in reference to the
Western Union Telegraph franchise, it
is now rumored that the company will
not establish an up town office. The
matter stands tha. the telegraph COM
pany was asked to place and maintain
an up town office for the convenience of
the city. In return they asked the city
for franchise granting them the right
to run their poles and wires through
town. The form of ordinance they pre-
sented was that usually granted by all
cities which they enter. 1t was not more
comprehensive, they claimed, than those
now enjoyed by the telephone and cleo
trio light companies. The council ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
company, but, as it was stated at the
council meeting, they feared that they
would be granting too much by allowing
the franchise presented, and restricted
them to the use of the street running di-
rect to their proposed office. This the
company regarded as unjust dlscrimina-
ton, and have, 1t is understood, decided
not to establish the office.
