larger than last year.
In spite of repeated warnings
men are still silly enough to
send the Banner anonymous

into the waste basket The
writers will confer a favor by
not sending them. For the
hundredth time we again state
that no communication will be
published unless the name of
the writer is furnished.

not come up to the guarantee
of the makers. The company

mine whether they will accept
or reject the engine.
County Court.
The attention of the court and
a jury was occupied duringTues-
day and Wednesday in trying
the case of F. W. Becker vs. the
City of Brenham. This was a
case of Injunction restraining
the city of Brenham from enforc-
ing fines and penalties against
Becker the plaintiff and for
damages for daily prosecutions
and imprisonments for violat-
ing an ordinance passed to car
ry into effect and enforce a con
tract made by the council with
Lyd. Smith who had erected a
market house under a contract
that the city should; rent free
have the use of the upper sto-
ry and Smith should have the
entire income frome the rents
of stalls in the market house;
this contract to last for ten
years-' and at the end of that
time provfded the city of Bren
ham maintained this as the only
market Tiousc in the city and
enforced the sales of all fresh
meats and fish at said market
house exclusively for ten years
then Smith was to make title of
the market house absolutely to
the city.
The case turned or the au
thority of the city to make any
such contract.
1st" Because the'eity coun
cil voted away (which it could
not) its and its successors' right
to remove said marketplace or
establish any other market
house or place in the city and
thereby made a void contract;
and that any ordinances intend-
ed to carry into effect and en-
force this contract was void.
2d. That the contract tend-
ed to establish and did estab-
lish a monopoly and the ordi-
nances were therefore void.
The verdict of the jury and
judgment of the court were for
the plaintiff and for damages
S250. There is no doubt an
appeal will be taken.
They are Anxious.A gen-
tleman who lived in this for a
few months but who is now a
citizen of Austin county came
to town a day or two ago on
business He ..had hardly got
fairly into the business part of
town before he was approached
by one candidate after-another
until he had shaken hands with
eleven candidates .each candi
date was inquisitive about the
gentleman's health --and each
was under the impression that
he was a citizen of the city and
a voter.
Improvements. The new
colored Methodist church at
Watrousville now in course of
construction seems to be mak-
ing slow progress towards com-
pletion. The late residence of Mr. R.
D. Harris on west Sanday street
recently purchased by Mr. John
A. Randle is being thoroughly
remodeled and repaired.
A handsome string of new
palings has been erected in front
of Mr. Rogers' new residence
w est Main street
Capt F. W. Schuerenberg
has had his premises enclosed
with a handsome paling fence.
Beautiful Baton. There is
now on exhibition in front of
Zeits' saloon a beautiful baton.
It is a- piece of 4x4 oak scant-
ling and is about 30 inches in
length; it is fashioned into a
maul and has every appearance
of having res(ed in the quiet se-
clusion to be found in the ut-
termost depths of a mud hole
for many many years. It is
adorned wiih a tag bearing the
inscription 'JJaton of Office."
Pasted on the baton is a piece
of paper wifh the words "To
be presehte3 to the choice of
the people for City Marshal at
the coming election. By the
appreciative1 Voters."
New Church. The building
committee of the Methodist
church on Saturday 'last open-
ed the bids for the erection of a
new church. The brick and
stone work was awarded to Mr.
.ferry and the wood work to
Mr. J. W. Webb both of this
town they being the lowest and
best bidders. Bids were also
Lreceived from Houston and
Austin builders.
On Thursday afternoon the
singing club of which Mr. G.
Lehmann is a member escorted
him to the train singing a pop-
ular song and bidding him a
pleasant trip. On the evening
previous he was serenaded. Mr.
L. goes to Germany for a visit
of three or four months dura-
tion. A number of his friends
met at the saloon of Mr. B.
Lehman a brother of the gen
tleman who had left and had a
pleasant little re-union.
Conoert-
The concert for the benefit of
the Presbyterian church at the
Opera House on Friday eve-
ning was attended by a large
and fashionable audience.
Through the failure of some of
the parties whose names were
on the protframme to attend it
became necessary to make some
changes. The programme so
far as number of pieces was
concerned was fully carried out.
lt would be unjust to criticise
an amateur performance but
taken as a whole the entertain-
ment was highly creditable to
all concerned. Several of the
pieces were rendered in a
style worthy of special men-
tion but as it is not our pur-
pose to criticise we forbear ma-
king special mention of any. The
entire entertainment was a com
plete success and the audiericeT"a'

several "bad" boys in he gal
lery who annoyed the audience
and performers by whistling at
the most inopportune times.
Three Sunday schools were rep
resented but none of.the gen-'JwhIchre-organJzeJafcw'mont3ls
tlemen connected with them
claimed the whistling boys.
We are not in favor of resort
ing to violent measures to
secure and maintain order and
would modestly suggest as a
mild and effective means of cur
ing whistling boys that they be
strung up by the thumbs for
the short period of sevenyears
at the expiration of Avhich time
it is more than likely they will
know better. The total re-
ceipts were S90 75.
The committee desire to ex
press their obligations to the
ladies and gentlemen who lent
their efforts to the evening's en-
tertainment and to whom its
success was mainly due; and
also to a generous public for
its liberal encouragement and
indulgent criticism.

Run Away. On Wednes-
day afternoon a farm wagon
driven by a man and loaded
with two venerable geese tied
together by the legs ran away
on Ant street the horses head-
ing northward. One of the
horses run on a dray driven by
a colored man and scared him
so badly that it is extremely
doubtful if he gets over it in
time to vote on Tuesday next.
The entire result maybe sum
marized thus: One colored dry-
man badly scared; one dray-
horse astonished; two wagon
horses excited; one trace chain
broke; two old geese spilled
on street; one wagon driver
much perturbed. The owner
was arrested for leaving his team
unhitched and promises to pay
all damages.

That Charivari. Last week
the Banner gave an account of
a cliarivaii or "calithumpian"
serenade in the Barnhill settle-
ment out in the post oaks. One
of the serenadcrs called at the
Banner office to -say-that not-
withstanding the fact that he
and the others did some very
responsible running 'for the
amusement of the party seren-
aded they had some-fun too.
He says he slipped around a
day or two ago to take a look
at the scene of action and is
fea'rful the party will lose his
entire crop as he is not yet
through hauling musical instru-
ments su"h as coal oil cans
cow bells cow horns tin trum
pets and conch shells from the
field where "they were left in
such profusion as to seriously
interfere vwith the cultivation of
the ground. He.thinks honors
are easy as the serenaded par-
ties have been put to trouble
enough to fully compensate the
runners for 'skedaddling."

A quiet monotony pervades
our community; to such an ex-
tent docs it prevail that it seems
to have infused itself irto the
atmosphere that surrounds us.

streets was broken the other

whiskey the cause; a little fine;
some short trimmings the re-
sult We had quite a frost in the
lowlands last Wednesday morn-
ing the 18th inst killing the
