The County Executive committee, of

M. H. Handle In the chair, H. J. Mc-

program was adopted for the February
meeting. Opeping song followed by
reading, class drill by Thos. Law,

the benefit of professional gatherings

A special committee was appointed
to wait on the judge as to his advice
on teachers failing to attend the In-
stitute. What preparation should a
teacher bring to his class room? Are
public school examinations and exhi-
bitions beneficial? What rules ought
teachers to make at the opening ot
tho school? These subjects will be
subjects of general discussion.
The Clay Station Killing.
According to the Caldwell Chroni-
cle's report of the Clay Station tragedy
the Banner has done Tom Taylor an
injustice, and the other version is
here unto appended :
"On last Thursday night a difficulty
occurred at a dance at Clay Station in
which Bufus Savage lost his life.
The facts in the case are very
meager.
Trouble arose between Rufus Sav-
age and Thomas Taylor, in which it is
said knives were used by both parties.
It is claimed young Taylor was cut in
the arm and had his coat cut. Rufus
Savage was mortally wounded. He
died on Monday evening. Young
Taylor will probably have an examin-
ing trial to-day before a justice of the
peace at Caldwell. The unfortunate
>ung man is a son of Thos. Taylor,
an old, highly respected citizen of the
county. C. S. Williams and Major
Ragsdalc are conducting the defense."
Colden Opinions.
Tlie following notice from ihe Bas
trop Advertiser will lie read with
pleasure by Judge Kirks many friends
in this county, and the Banner re-
produces it with great pleasure, and
congretulates him upon the good opin
ion won at this his first sitting as Dis-
trict Judge anywhere in the District:
"Judge Kirk has won golden opin-
ions from the bar and people during
this, his first term as judge of our dis-
trict court. His rullings are prompt
and to the point; strict without being
severe. Officers, attorneys, jurors ana
witnesses soon find that neither negli-
gence or delay will be permitted,
hence the rapid dispatch of the busi-
ness of the court, and the close of the
prosent term will find the docket clear
of nearly, if not all the old cases with
which it has so long been encum-
bered."

A dray horse o»8audy street ran

horse basing it to run into his buggy,

A critic' of the liew Columbian
two-cent stamp says it "is a rank fail-
ure as to beauty. It. is a lukewarm
lavendor like fhe faded ribbons on
John Wanamaker's bargain counter

Ker-biff color of a slowly recovering,
bunged-up eye." The criticism is re-
spectfully submitted to the postoffice
department.

ner and tho other man to get even re-
ported him to Justice Binz court, a
court that is no respector of persons,

The farmers of Washington county
are in a more prosperous condition to-
day than for years, and their prosperi-
ty is the result of economy ou their part
for the past year, more than any other
one cause, tnough the fact that they
got a cent or two per pound more for
their cotton than they calculated on
is largely responsible for it.
hen good prices are expected peo-
ple are lavish in their expenditures.
Constable Boyd Saturday evening
captured Freeman Evans who has been
owing a fine for the past thro3 or four
months, during which time he has
been douging the officers, and upon
his failure to liquidate the old claim
vi as locked up in the county jail.
The Banner predicted over a week
ago that cotton had perhaps attained
as high a price as it would reach this
season, and that the farmers who re-
fused to sell stood In their own light.
Cotton has since that time consider-
ably depreciated, with no prospect of
an early rise.

The usual quiet city of Silkville, is in
the thrones of an internal dissention
that threatens disaster to the peace of
that delightful "city of roses" so call-
ed on account of its flower lined streets,
the very air of which Is laden with the
perfume of these flowers which attain
such perfection there as is unknown
elsewhere.
Heretofore any mention of this not
being a model place without any of
the troubles ordinary places is heir to,
would have been taken in the same
spirit of a phillippic against a young
virgin, and would have cast a shadow
on the soul of the utterer. But tiieir
dream of perfection is over, and tin ir
days aro now surfeited with care and
anxiety for the future, aud involun-
tarily one recalls their past ideal state
as he contemplates what may be their
future.
One of the officials of this villa has
entered suit against the Supt. of the
Silkville Water Works tor allowing
tho wind mill to run continuously un-
til the stand-pipe overflowed and
made an artificial lake in the city,
where all the ducks and geese congre-
gated to perform their ablutions and
such other antics as pleased their
aquatic habits, where they make such
a noise as disturbs the denisons.
Tho Supt. of the Water Works
will start a suit in retaliation
against the Alderman of the
First ward of that villa on a unique
charge, and the sympathy of the citi
zeiis are with him in this on economic
principles. He will allege that the
aforesaid Alderman, whose name
withheld for prudential reasons—it not
being the intention of this paper to in
jure his chances for the Mayorship, to
which position we understand he as
pires, and will be a candidate at the
approaching election—has started
mint bed in a place where it does great
injury to the city, by reason of the
fact that every passing breeze wafts
the aroma to the nostrils of other citi
zens of temperately inclined habits
and it straightway creates an appetite
for mint juleps, when too freely in
dulged in are not only expensive, but
conducive to line spun theroretical and
impractical ideas of government, and
the result is that now every other citi
zen is a candidate for Mayor, while
the minor offices go begging.
The removal of tho city Engineer
Mr. Win. VanNess, some time since
has created a vacancy that no one nas
made application for, though the an-
nual election draws apace.
The approaching election promises
to be exceedingly spirited, and if
conservative set of officers are elected
Silkville promises to rival any place
in France or California of its size as a
wine producing section.
Mr. Wm Van Ness is putting out
five acres in grapes, and Mr. B. Strick-
ert will put out four, while Mr. C. F.
Herbst and many others have a con-
siderable vineyard already.
Silk culture in the villa is on the
decline, though on account of its pre-
vious success there by the pioneers
within the last century, it will always
probably retain the name of Silkville.

Short One Thousand.
Postmaster Henry Andrews was ar-
rested Friday by a United States Post-
office Inspector at Lyons, charged
with being short in his accounts with
Uncle Sam to th« amount of $1000, or
thereabouts.
Mr. Andrews has been a mau above
suspicion and reproach aud says he
cannot account for the shortage. The
officer was to have left with him Fri-
day evening for the nearest Federal
court in session.
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. H. Bluman,
Thursday night, a girl. This incident
recalls the fact that the father has
been deprived of his liberty for a long
time now awaiting the decision of the
Civil Court of Appeals, while his fam-
ily needs very badly his attention.
But should the decision of the lower
court be affirmed he will have to
servo a five year sentence, on a case
than most everybody familiar with
the circumstances, believe that he can
beat, inasmuch as the insurance com-
pany could not prove the same thing
on which he was couvicted.
