Cotton Worms. A gentle-
man living in the Bethlehem
neighborhom on Mill creek
says the cotton worms arc do-
ing fine; they are vigorous vo-
racious and industrious and are
doing considerable damage.
Mauy are letting the worms

ing it will pay to administer ver-
mifuge. Col. W. W. Lang delivered
an able address to the Brenham

the colonel as usual delivered
a very instructive and entertain
ing discourse being addressed
directly to the farmers whom
he gave some sound and prac-
tical advice.
-Gay
Hill Grange. Col.
Lang addressed the grange at
Gay Hill at the Baptist church
on Tuesday. His address was

the people were' invited to par-
take of a sumptuous dinner af-
ter which Col. R. R. Lawthcr
favored them with a few re
marks.
The old city market house is

council meetings and mayor's
court will be held in the second
story of the old market house

wallowing it in drinking from
very shallow streams where the
bottom was sandy. This is the

common.

Ed. Summers late mail rider
between LaGrange and Burton
who was arrested in Galveston
the other day and taken to
Rockdale vas tried before com-
missioner Burck. He plead
guilty to the charge and in de-
fault of S5000 bond will be sent
to the Austin jail. So says a
special to the Galveston A'c&s
from Rockdale. Summers'
father now dead was an old
and highly respected citizen of
this county and his family have
all maintained an unblemished
reputation.
A Hunter. Brenham has
quite a number of amateur
sportsmen 'some of them arc
old and experienced hands at
the business while "others" are
not so well posted; it is with the
"others" that wc now have to
deal. A few days ago one of
them went out a hunting and
after a time found some big
game and killed a "turkey" at
least he thought he had killed
a turkey but some one discov-
ered that instead of his having
killed a turkey he had killed a
buzzard. In due time the joke
oozed out but strange to say
the buzzard-killer doesn't enjoy
it being wholly oblivious to the
joke.
Bell Punches. The Banner
learns from collector Harvin
that 17 whiskey registers and
28 beer registers have been or-
dered for Washington county;
of these 1 1 whiskey and 17 beer
registers will tintinnabulate in
the city of Brenham ; two each
of whiskey and beer will ring
in the cars of the Burtonites;
one beer and one whiskey reg-
ister each will be heard in Chap-
pell Hill and Washington. The
remaining ones will be scatter-
ed promiscuously.
Dischakgd. Mayor Kerr on
Friday ordered the entire force
of special policeman to be dis-
charged so that hereafter there
will be no excuse for carrying
ponderous six-shooters under
the specious pretext of being
officers and "tin staril' will be
at a heavy discount at the the-
atre. Whiskev punches claret
punches and milk punohes are
well known and favorite com
moditics with many persons but
on the first day of October an
entirely new article called the
bell punch will be exhibited by
our saloonists and as the bell
punch comes is the "slate" will
go out. Mind tlt.it !

Rev. P. Wagner Mr. W. G.
Giddings formerly of Brcm-
ham to Miss Emma E. Pick-
rell of Ennis.
Mr. Giddings and bride came
to Brenham on Thursday and
in the evening an infair was giv-
en at the residence of Col. D. C.
Gid-ditigswhoisanunc.c of the
bridegrom. The grounds were
brilliantly illuminated with
torches and the guests spent
some time in promenading.
Supper was served about 11
o'clock the tables being a mar-
vel of beauty fairly groaning
under the load of good things
placed upon them. It is need-
less to say that full justice was
done the supper The guests
remained until about half past
one o'clock in the morning the
time being spent in social con-
versation music and promenad-
ing. Enjoyment and pleasure
was the order of the evening
and a host of good wishes was
tendered the newly wedded
couple. Mr. Giddings and bride
will leave for home some time
during the latter part of this
Week.
M her residence on Mill creel.. Saturday
September ijtn at 3 o ciock r. M. .MRS.
-MARTHA U. SAULS. COOSOrt OI .Mr. A.
Sauls aged 4S years.
The deceased was a pious
christian lady honored and be-
loved by all who knew her for
none knew her but to love her.
She was for thirty years a faith-
ful and consistent member of the
Baptist church; a zealous work
er in the cause of Christianity.
In her demise not only docs a
husband lose the companionship
of an affectionate wife her chil-
dren a devoted mother but the
entire neighborhood arc depriv-
ed of one of its brightest orna-
ments to society.
Her mortal remains were in-
terred in the Brenham Cemetery
at 4 o'clock Sunday evening a
large concourse of sorrowful and
sympathizing friends being pres-
ent to pay tlcir last tribute to
a noble woman whom the fell
destroyer death had claimed as
his own. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. D. G.
Bowers in a solemn and impres
sive manner bringing tears to
the eyes of many.
The Banner tenders its con
dolence to the bereaved relatives
in this sad hour of their afflic
tion.
Ghosts. The city bastile is
haunted; at least Louis Secrist
a 17-ycar old negro says it is.
Lewis is now "laying out" a
fine and says he "likes the bas
tile first rate in de day time but
in de night a ghost boddcrs
him; it is as high as de top of a
house and has great big eyes
like two balls of fire and dress-
ed in a long white coat that
comes clean down to its heels."
It lifted him off his bed several
tims the said bed being on the
floor. Another negro who spent
some of his valuable time in
the bastile saw the same ghost
that is now bothering Lewis
and had the same experience in
being lifted out of bed. Three
men have died in the bastile and
this fact being known to the
uarkics accounts for the pres-
ence of the ghost at night The
ghost never interferes with
white men.
Baylor University. Dr.
Crane writes to say that the
Banner's correspondent at In-
dependence was in error regard-
ing the opening of the Univer-
sity. Last year it opened with
only 5 boarders and 17 pupils.
This year it opened with 42 pu-
pils the first week averaging 18
years of age. The first week
generally brings about one-
third of the whole number so
about 130 pupils arc expected
for the year. Prospects arc
brighter than since i860. The
doctor expresses the hope that
the law department will open
with a large number of students
at Brenham. It will be under
charge of Judge J. E. Shepard
and Gen. John Sayles assisted
by eminent lawyers.
Nicaragua Wheat. Mr. W
P. Doran correspondent of the
department of agriculture has
received a limited quantity of
Nicaragua wheat for distribu-
tion in this vicinity. The wheat
is described on the label as a
new variety grown in Georgia
and is said to be rust proof; the
seed distributed is from the fifth
crop and is a beardless wheat
which in appearance looks ex-
actly like ordinary wheat; the
original wheat was received
from Nicarogua by the commis
sioner of agriculture of Geor-
gia. It is a winter wheat and
should be sown in the fall. We
hope those who get the seed
from Sir. Uoran will nole care-
fully the result.

there is sufficient corn if used

Last Sunday evening several
little children were playing in a
cotton house on Dr. Lockhart's
place. One of them attempted
to light a match when the sul-
phur flew off andignited the
cotton. All escaped without in-
jury except a little girl the
daughter of W. L.M.cGec who
was so badiy burned that she
died the next day. The cotton
being packed closely in the
house did not burn rapidly and
the fire was soon extinguished
without much damage to the
cotton. A lesson for parents
who permit children to play in
cottonhouscs.
A most unfortunate "cuss"
a Swede who is not a walking
"temperance societv" by any
means came very near being
murdered by Ed. Buckley Sat-
urday evening; both parties
were drunk and Buckley fancied
he had been insulted by the
Swede when he drew his self-
acting double self-cocking
"snooter and but lor the time-
ly interference of a by-stander
the Swede would have "gone
up. 1 lus same bwede had the
top of his head ploughed off a
week or so ago with one of the
same "instruments" that Buck
ley bcareth so meekly. The
officers were promptly on hand
arrested Buckley and lodged
him in the calaboose. Soon af-
terward he was bailed out and
wended his way towards the de-
pot where he assaulted F. E.
Wilkerson with a knife. Wil-
kerson not being so good natur-
ed as the swede soon made
Buckley's head large enough
for a No. 10 hat In the mean-
time our efficient Marshal Joe
Carliste was adding new con-
verts by the dozen to the city
bastile principally of the color-
ed persuasion. L. E. C.

J. he speaking by Col. Lang
went off well; we had a small
but very respectable crowd and
every one was pleased with the
colonel. He urged strongly the
reorganization of the grange.
.bob Lundon is happy and
says one ot the merchants is
getting in a lot of salt before
"navigation closes" on account
of the mud. Bob also says ihc
town is very quiet or he would
write a letter.
E. L. Fouts of Gaudalupc

that it was so good. The infor-
mation was. received from one

Editor llrrnham Itanntr:
On the 8th inst John Surgh-
nor was arrested fn your city
charged with being an accom-
plice in the Burton and La-
Grange mail robbcrry. It gives
me great pleasure to state that
on examination of the case he
not only proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt that he had
no connection whatever with it
but also proved a character that
any young man may feel proud
of. In your issue of last week
you say Charles Summers was
released and had to make his
way home as best he could;
your informant was certainly
mistaken as Charles Summers
ivas turnished a horse saddle
