'VE-
RNAL OF THE CITY
THE CITY.
Abe Meyer has just rcceivcd
25 thousand fresh Vanity Fair
and Duke of Durham cigarettcs
which he is selling at 5 ccnts a
package, for the tens and ten
cents for the twenties, and
don't you forget.
The weather continnes hot,
90 and upwards. Thin clothes
and profanity is the rule with
many of the male population.
New Corn.—Last Saturday
Weikel & Hill, millers of this
city, ground a couple of bush-
els of new crop corn into meal.
Di ed.— An infant child of
Mr. and Mrs. Eastern, living on
West Sandy street, died on Sun
day and was buried on Mon-
day.
Our hardware and tin men
arc selling pumps for sprinkling
cotton, and the druggists and
grocers are selling vermifuge
for cotton worms. If the worms
appear in force the farmers will
be prepared to treat them in a
hostile manner.
Hop.
Prof. R. G. Chcesman will
give his closing hop at Armory
Hall on Wednesday evening
the nth inst. The Brenham
Brass Band will furnish the
music on this occasion. As
this will be the last hop ol the
season all should attend.
Cotton Worms.—The Ban-
ner learns from a gentleman
who stepped up here from
Chappcll Hill on Sunday after-
noon, that the cotton worms
have made their appearance in
spots in the fields towards
Chappcll Hill, as yet no dam-
age has been done; the crops
look fine and promise well.
There was a report current
on Sunday morning that on
Saturday night a stranger in
the city had been relieved of
$300 in the jungles or sand
lots. If strangers risk their
money in localities of question-
able reputation they should be
prepared to stand the consc-
qucnccs.
The Summer Normal.—The
number ot pupils attending and
the interest in the summer nor-
mal school is increasing. A
series of talks hava been inaug-
urated. On Monday Dr. Lock-
ett gave a talk on nutrition, to-
day, Tuesday, Col. Giddings
will give a talk on banking,
Wednesday and Thursday, Dr.
Lockett will give talks on the
circulation and respiration and
Friday Major Bassett will have
something to say about scholar-
ship and its uses.
A Walk.— A couple of Bren-
ham's society young men went
to Chappcll Hill on the Sunday
afternoon train for the purpose
of calling upon two young
ladies ; arriving at their destin-
ation they found one of the
young ladies sick and the other
absent. The return train did
not arrive at Chappell Hill be-
fore 510:30, so a council of war
was organized ; it was decided
that it was better to walk back
to Brenham than to sit at the
Chappell Hill depot till train
time. Acting upon the decis-
ion the two "pulled out" for
Brenham about 4 o'clock and
arrived here about 7:30, having
made three stops to take on
water and rest. This is pretty
good walking for amatuers con-
sidering the warm weather.
The distance is about eleven
miles.
Has it never occurred to any
of our progressive citizens that
it is about time Brenham was
taking some steps to secure
water works ? We have gas
works the telephone, a com-
press, and a steam fire engine,
and to be up with the times
should have a system of water
works. Columbus, Temple Cle-
burne and Tyler, all smaller
and less wealthy towns than
Brenham will soon have water
works, why should not Bren-
ham be up with the times ?
The fire tank in the courthouse
pasture will soon have to be re-
moved to make room for the
new building, and with a sys-
tem of water works the tank
could be dispensed with. A
system of water works can be
established at a cost of from
$20,000 and upwards, and in
most towns water works are
made to pay a dividend. Bren-
ham has plenty of capital and
a good many enterprising citi-
zens, and we doubt not that
if it can be made to appear that
water works would be a paying
investment and a permanent
improvement to the town they
would be built. We are as-
sured that an abundant supply
of good water can readily be
obtained by sinking large wells.
This is a new matter and one
worthy of consideration.
Mayor's Court. — Monday.
—In spite of the hot weather
and general dullness of the
times there is a little business
for the city grist mill.
M. J. Jacob, violating city or-
dinance by leaving horse un-
hitched on street, fined $1 and
trimmings.
Xerry Rogers, colored, same
charge us above. Terry proved
that he had a man "staked out"
very near his horse watching
him, and on this evidence Terry
was dismissed.

It was reported yesterday
that Mr. J. N. Chadwick, of
Chappcll Hill, one of the oldest
and wealthiest citizens of this
county, had suddenly lost his
mind. He was in his usual
health and attended to his busi-
ness till supper time on Satur-
day evening when his mind
commenced wandering. lie is
under the treatment of Dr.
Blackburn and at last reports
was doing well. It is hoped
that his ailment is only tempo-
rary.
Tyrolean Concert.— Not-
withstanding the extremely
warm weather a good sized au-
dience assembled at the opera
House last night to hear the
Tyrolean Concert company
consisting o( six voices, four
male and two female. The
singing was really excellent as
was evidenced by the very
requent and prolonged ap-
plause that greeted nearly every
liece throughout the entire
jrogramme. We cannot under
take to give any criticism of
the singing, but can say that a
cultured and critical audience
was present and most of them
were lavish in their encomiums.
Lovers of fine singing will miss
rare treat if they f>il to at-
tend to-night, when an entirely
new programme will be pre-
sented.
Time at last makes all things
even except the oddities in
museum.

some ol the very latest styles,
and also a large assortment of
faces of ioh type, and is now
prepared to do all kinds of job
work in as good style as can be
turned out in the state and at

Who Is Mrs. Winslow?
As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is a lady who for
upwards of thirty years has untiringly dc
voted her time and talents as a female phy-
sician and nurse, principally among chil-
dren. She has especially studied the con
stitution and wants of this numerous class,
and, as a result of this effort, and practical
knowledge, obtained in a lifetime spent as
a nurse and physician, she has compoun-
ded a Soothing Syrup for children teething.
It operates like magic—giving rest and
health, and is moreover, sure to ri gulate
the bowels. In consequence of this article,
Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renowned
as a benefactor of her race; children cer
tainly do rise up and bless her; especially
is this the case in this city. Vast quanti
ties of the Soothing Syrup ate daily sold
and used here. Ave think Mrs. Winslow
has immortalized her name by this invalua'
ble article, and we sincerely believe thous
amis of children have been saved from an
early grave by its timely use, and that mil
lions yet unborn will share its benefits, and
unite in calling her blessed. No Mother
has discharged her duty to her suffering
little one, in our opinion, until she has giv
en it Ihe benefit of Mrs. Winslow':; Sooth
ing Syrup. Sry it, mothers—try it now.

do desk-work are tempted to stimulate, fo!
it's very hard on the nerves and stomach.1
"As for example—
"As for example, in my own case, I stuck
to my desk on this paper until my nerves

a gale, and my stomach kept about as good
time as a two-dollar watch. My friends

as Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be

mers by substituting inferior articles under
