The Elbow Club.

The regular meeting of the mem
bers of the Elbow Club was held at
the cosy quarters of Sergeant Chris.
Miller at Fort Brown yesterday.
The new constitution and by
laws of the club were read to the
members and after grave delibera-
ton in which every member took
an active part, the constitution and
the bylaws were adopted
The bylaws are very strict and
calculated to make every member
more patriotic. One of the prin-
cipal requirements is that members
must attend church every Sunday
morning, aad in order that they
may be prevented from falling by
the wayside it is ordered that they
attend prayer meeting in the after
noon at Sergeant Miller's Since
the 18th of July, some of the mem
bers have shown a disposition to
attend the Irrigation Congress held
in Matamoros every Sunday and it
is hoped this bylaw will counter
act that deplorable tendency to
revert back to the stein-in-hand
Sunday.

ever lived in. Beyond the arrest of
two little boys who were suspected
of harboring designs on toy store
there has not been an arrest in two
weeks. Il is doubtful if any town
in the United States can show as
clean a record as that of Browns
vile during the past year, elimi-
mating the negro soldier raid.
A bunch of very fine Martinique
bananas was presented to the edi-
tor yesterday by H. C. Sti1lwell of
the Rio Grande nurseries. These
bananas are smaller than the regu-
lar bananas of commerce, but far
surpass the latter in delicacy Of
flavor. Mr.. Stillwell's success
with bananas at Brownsville has
proven beyond controversy that
this fine fruit can be produced for
the market here. He now has
about three acres of bananas and
says he will not stop planting
until he has a hundred acres of
them.
Go ahead and build your wa
ter-works first, and you can very
easily put in the sewers afterwards
for few thousand dollars. One
thing is certain you must have the
water-works before you can have
sewers, said DR.. Brumby in con-
versation with a HERALD reporter
the other day.
The program rendered by the

ers.

Because of the undeniable fact that a
man cannot possibly be at two different
places at one and the same time despite
the sworn statements of various wit
nesses, Judge Mills released Harold
Liverpool from custody and decided
that he was not guilty of manipulating
a razor upon the countenance of Chippy
Chapman.
Chippy, sallow. thin negro with a
head of hair resembling a large floor
mop, was the first TO tell how terribly
he hadn't been hurt

Then he stopped, apparently overcome
by emotion.
