OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CITY
. THE CITY.
Brenham now has a corn-
doctor.
The Pleasant Hill school fcst
takes place to-morrow.
The prospect for a large crop
of pecans was never better.
Yesterday was a blank so
far as the courts were concern-
ed.
Dewhekries are a glut on
the market at fifty cents a buck-
et.
Street improvements are
being made gradually by the
city.
Mr. H. C. McIntyre, Jr., is
now having a neat residence
built on Main street, near the
McIntyre hotel.
Bug juice was the cause of a
fight on Ant street near the de-
pot yesterday. A countryman
was arrested.
There was a temperance pic-
nic and an address by Rev. MH
McAshan, at Gay Hill on
Wednesday.
If the Banner was to remark
that times are dull some of our
readers might think it was a
joke, but it isn't.
We have tailed to learn
whether the Brenham Maenner-
chor will participate in the
Dallas SaengerfeSt or not.
Farmers in some sections of
the county complain of want of
rain. The late rains were only
local hereabouts and not gen-
eral throughout the county,
Rev W. D. Powell, mission-
ary to Mexico, is now in the
city visting friends. He will
preach at the Baptist church on
Sunday morning.
Yesterday was a religious
holiday among the members of
the Lutheran church, mest of
whom in this section are Ger-
mans. They all abstained from
work and many came to town.
Mr. Mason, who lives about
five miles north of town, has
lately returned from a protrac-
ted visit to Kentucky, He has
already imported from that
state some fine Lexington
brood mares and a stallion.
Crazy Negro.—A large sized
negro man from the country
was taken with a crazy fit in the
street yesterday. His craze
seemed to take a religious
chute and he was quite noisy.
He was arrested and put in the
bjstile by the marshal with
the as sistance of another man
or two.
Ice.—The Brenham ice fac
tory now has on hand nearly
one hundred tons of very super-
ior ice and having no more
jftore room has been compelled
to shut down for the present.
The machinery is in fine work-
ing order and makes more and
better ice than ever before. As
soon as the present stock is re-
duced the machinery will be
started up i^ain.
Races.—All the arrange-
ments have been made for a
summer meeting by the Jockey
club. The purses have been
made up and the races will
take place on the Brenham
race track on the 5th, 6th, 7th
and 8th of June. Programmes
will soon be issued, The track
is in splendid condition and is
unexcelled by any in the state
of the same length, and a good
attendence is confidently ex
pected.
The School Lands.—Else-
where will be found an able and
exhaustive article on the ques-
tion of the sale by the county
of the school lands. The wri-
ter takes strong grounds in fa
vor of leasing the lands anc
cites instances in which severs
wealthy counties have pursuec
that plan. The subject is one
of vital imporfance to every cit-
izen who has the interest of the
county at heart, and we invite
all to *ive the article a carefu
perusal. As we have already
stated our columns are open to
a fair discussion of th;s subject.
Editors Manner:
A friend his tent mo an article clipped
from your paper of a late issue in which you
advocate a leaie, inatead of a sale of your
county ichool lands. As there teems to be
iome apprehension in your mind as to
the ability of the commissioners' court to
lease, it is proper to call your attention to
the action of two er three prominent
counties on this matter. Tarrant county
has leased her lands at $2too per annum
for live years, Dallas has leased hers for
$1700 per annum and Travis coun-
ty has leased hers for ten years
at $1400 per annum and a
guaranty of improvements on the way of
Fencing, etc., amounting to five or si*
thousand dollars more.
It is safe to say that the Washington
county tract is a hundred per cent, more
valuable than either of the three tracts
mentioned and there is no reason why the
lands cannot be leased for as mucn, or
more than either of the others.
It has been but a very short time since
there was any demand whatever for lands
to be leased for pasturage purposes, per-
haps not more than eighteen months, and
any one who will take the trouble to post
himself will find that the lease price is en-
hancing much more rapidly than the sell-
ing price, for the reason that the ptofits
of stock raising are so great that the less
money the stock-raiser invests in land and
the mote he invests in stock, the better the
investment.1 Thfe profits of stock raising
are out of all proportion to the profits of
other industries and arises or
has arisen mainly from the
fact that the stockraiser has hith-
erto virtually had free pasturage This
condition of things is rapidly passing away
and competition for pasture lands has
ust fairly commenced. The man with mod-
erate means is unable to compete with the
large capitalist in purchasing land and
cattle both, but so long as he can lease for
twenty-five cents per acre, or less, he cm
compete with the capitalist and during the
next decade we can reasonably expect the
lease price per acre of good pasture land
to reach twenty-five cents.
With these facts to guide us can there be
aay hesitation as to which is the belter
system, that of lease which preserves the
goose and the golden eggs, or sale, which
certainly loses the goose and perhaps a
large part of the golden eggs.
Under the lease, the fund grows on and
on indefinitely, keeping pace with the
growth of population, while under a sale
mere can be no further growth.
Who can point to any state, county, or
city government entrusted with full powers
in the management and control of a trust
fund, which has for a succession of years
preserved the principal of the fund intact ?
Will any commissionei 3' court of any
county invested, as they are, with absolute
lowers in lending, collecting and re-invest-
ing this fund from time to time have the
business sagacity to take aare of it. through
a series of say twenty-five years ?
Under the lease system the land would
yield during the first decade Irom fifteen to
twenty thousand dollars and the second
decade would scarcely yield less than fifty
thousand dollars, if California's experi-
ence is a criterion on such matters; and at
the end of twenty years, exclusive of the
annual tuition paid out of the fund, it
would, on a small estimate, be worth a
quarter of a million dollars.
As a business transaction for the county
a lease is infinitely better. In a period of
twentp-five years there wou'd be a dilf r-
ence in favor of a lease of at least a hun-
dred thousand dollars.
The time is not far distant when the tax-
ation or revenue requisite to support public
schools will in a great measure, be rele-
gated to the several counties ami this rev-
enue from the county school lands will be
a considerable item.
Twenty-five years is a short time in the
history of a county and if the capitalist
whose al'otcd time for life is much less than
half a century, can afford to purchase and
hold for higher prices, why cannot a coun-
ty—which it is hoped will endure for cen-
itrie:, do likewise, especially, when its
capital :S yielding an income greater than
that greatest of r.ll securities, a United
S.at.sbond?
some have contended that the p.esent
g«n;rai';on needs the >und and 'herr.we
the land sl.oulil be sold »nd the intert t on

Prescriptions filled carefully
and accurately at all times, at
R. E. Luhn's:
CELEBRATED,
and justly so, is Acker's English Remedy
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Sold
by Walker & Bell. Price 10c. 50c. and $1.
REMEMBER
neglect of first symptoms frequently leads
to permanent defects. Pimples and blotch-
es on the skin indicate disease which can
be cured by Acker's Blood Elixir. Sold by
Walker & Iiell.
SAVED
from a feeling of heaviness, acid reactions
in the throat, scalding and burning like
lire, dull heavy leeling in the head as
though a band of iron were around it—
obstinate constipation—Acker's Dyspep-
sia Tablets docs indeed save from such
miseraries, then why neglect the first symp-
toms? Sold by Walker & Bell.
IMPORTANT AND TRUE.
Impure blood causes disease and decay
no matter what part seems to be the seat
of disease—liver, kidney or brain—then
how important it is to purify the blood with
Acker's Blood Elixir. Sold by Walker &
Bell.
Blinds, sash and doors, all
sizes. Telephone orders will

Seed office, near Santa Fe depot.
Improved Caulk.-- A good
many farmers hereabouts are
beginning to realize the value
of good cattle and they are
gradually disposing of their
common scrub cows and re-
placing them with graded cat-
tle. It costs no more, and in
fact hardly as much, to feed a
graded cow that will give sever-
al gallons of milk a day than it
does to feed one that only gives
a half or three-quarters of a
gallon. With the facilities for
raising grass that we possess
there should be no good reason
why dairy farming should not
become an important industry.
Really choice dairy butter is
always in demand at fancy
prices, and if the supply of milk
was sufficient a creamery and
cheese factory could be estab-
lished. With the ice machine
and cold storage there
would be no difficulty in hand-
ling all the milk that could be
produced.
A Horse! A lltrse!

HKPATIZINE.
Mrssrh. Walkkk & BKI.I. :
I bear rheerl'ul testimony to the f?reat valne
of Or. ToMu's ''HepatlfclDe." In the
spring of 1881. after several months of low
health. I was Completely prostrated by what
ultimately cbbnlnuatetl In the breaking of a
large abscess on the liver—discharging
through the lungs and throat, In the spring
(if 1882. For more than a year, under the
most skillful and constant medical treat-
ment, I was a complete Invalid, with gener-
al dropsy, and terrible heart-troubles, In ad-
dition to the disease of the liver. After the
abscess of the liver discharged and healed,
and the other distressing attendant maladies
disappeared the crippled condition of the
liver has been such that 1 have been compell-
ed frenuci.llv to take medicines to stimulate
its action and regulate its secretions. About
n month ago, I was Induced to try the Hepa-
tizine, and I have found it the very remedy
needed. It acts ui>on the liver, and regulates
its secretions witheut any unpleacKnt e(Torts:
no nausea, no griping, no Interference with
diet or digestion, and is tonic in effects. 1
believe it to be a most valuable remedv.

1 have trie 1 Hepatlzine as a sort of last re-
sort to prevent the frequently recurring head-
aches to which I have beea subjected for eight
or ten years, and unhesitatingly pronounce
it more beneficial than any medicine 1 have
ever tried. Its results u|»in my system are
all and even more than is claimed for it,
