We found the bit Of ribbon
6e-petaled at our feet.
Upon Its silken textile
We scrawled In am'rous mood,
In cupid's sweetest language,
Loves hieroglyphios rude.
Then clipped the silk asunder-
Each kept an equal part
To join again forever
II heart were true to heart
And now find the ribbon,
The old daeuerreotype,
Heirlooms Of loves first dreaming
And Times relentless flight.
Here in the Land Of Waking,
In days Of manhood ripe,
! cherish we'll my ribbon,
And her dasuerreotype!
Out In the Dreamland Country,
Where croons the whippoorwill,
Mayhap, with hope eternal,
She keeps her ribbon still!

LIVERY BUSINESS CHANGE.

Messrs. w. G. Reynolds and II.
%. Ferguson on yesterday pur'
chased and took charge of the liv.
cry, feed and sale stable business
of J. W. Hunnicutt. They will
continue the business at the same
stand under the name of Reynolds
& Ferguson. Both gentlemen are
we'll known to the people Of Bryan
and Brazos county, and both are
experienced in handling stock and
are good business men. They in
tend to keep the business up to the
high standard Of excellence MAIN
tanned by their predecessor, and
to make improvements from time
to time as opportunity is afforded.
They ask a liberal share of the
patronage of the public, and this
the Eagle feels sure they will re-
ceive. Mr.: Hunnicutt states that
he has not formed definite plans
for the future. We join his many
friends in hoping that he will not
see fit to locate elsewhere.

ton OF fancy aud trick skating. They
presented beautiful and graceful sight.
Mr.. Was,ell was in evening dress and
Miss White IN a beautiful costume, and
with her natural beauty of face and figure
was most pleasing to look upon. Their
work together included some Of the most
wonderful and difficult skating ever execu-
ted in this city. Skaters especially enjoy
ed the performance, because they knew
how difficult IL was. The couple were
given hearty applause on almost every
trick or way of skating. Their waltsing.
two-s,epping and double two stepping
were the most graceful ever seen here. The
couple apparently Justly deserve the title
OF THE worlds best skaters. Mr.. Was

heifers sold at $3.50 in the quarantine to-
day, cows at $40 to s3.s5, bulls s3.35 to

Shortly before noon yesterday
two pistol shots rang out from the
corner ON which J. l.. Hearne's
saloon is located and caused con-
siderable excitement on the streets
for time. Investigation disclosed
the information that the shots were
fred by D. B. Knox at M. G. Nall,
who escaped injury. One of the
bullets struck a small shade tree in
front of the saloon and the other
struck the plastering on the facing
of the saloons door. There appear
to have been some eye witnesses
to a part Of the shooting,
one of whom was Sheriff r. M.
Nall, who it is alleged, knocked or
pushed the pistol down at the last
shot and placed Mr.. Knox under
arrest. Knox waived examination
yesterday afternoon on a charge Of
assault with intent to murder, gave
bond in the sum of $3.50 and was
released from custody.

Bridge 10 Plfst Class

Mr.. A. w. Buchanan Of this
city, and Mr.. ]. ID. Jones OF Har'
vey visited the long bridge or tres
tie across the Navasota river on
the Bryan and lola road few days
ago, and Mr.. Buchanan informed
the Eagle representative yes
terday that the bridge is in
quite bad condition. and growing
continually worse. The floor is
swagging and has a number Of
holes in II and some Of the cap
sills are broken. The condition of
the bridge demands immediate at
tention because 1t is one Of the
most important avenues Of trade
which leads to this city from sur
rounding counties.
Mr.. Buchanan says the impress
sion is going abroad that Bryan is
going to abandon the trestle and
let it 60 down. and work on
1t should be begun at once to coun-
teract this impression. Mr.. Buch-
anan thinks three or four thousand
dollars will put the bridge in first
class shape. and the Eagle thinks
it would be wise for the business
men to cooperate with the county
authorities in making necessary re-
pairs Of permanent character.
Bryan enjoys a large trade from
the territory across the river, which
there is every reason to believe she
can hold indefinitely on account of
the superior inducements offered
by the Bryan merchants. il the
roads and the long bridge are kept
in proper shape. This important
matter should receive immediate |
attention as numbers Of people are
here daily from that terri
tory all the year around and every !
day the matter is delayed will ins
crease the final expense.
