F. Sebbiobt Leigh.
A celebrated agnostic in arguing
•gainst the observance of Sunday
aaid that "a space of time could no
more be holy than a vacuum could
be pious., To the average man who
has earned his bread by the perspi-
ration of his forehead for six long

ice. He finds in Sunday a sort of
"tired nature'* sweet restorer" and
. ifl satisfied. •
AN IVIRV DAY OCCURRENCE.
Nearly every day nince the opens
ing of the fall season the Banneb
has been called on to record one or
more runaways, with more ^r less
serious results. While it is a fact
that accidents will occur in the best
regulated families occasionally, it is
no less a fact that they can be great-
ly augmented by carelessness.
So far no fatalities have resulted-
a rather remarkable record consider-
ing the number of closo calls—but
no one knows how long this good
fortune is to continue, or how soon
some vehicle loaded with helpless
women and children may be wreck-
ed and overturned with rosults
dreadful to contemplate. The throbs
and pangs of bruised flesh and
broken bones will bo none the lees
poigonant becauso of their being
accidentally inflicted.
There is a city statuto against
leaving horses unhitched on the
street, which should be much more
rigidly observed.
A little knowledge is not a dan-
gerous thing when ft Bavesyou mon-
ey, is it? And in buying groceries
a little knowledge of what is good
will lead you to us.-Wehmeyer Bros.
clenn-simmons nuptials.
The chime of wedding bells will
add their chorus to the music of the
church bells to day. At Industry,
Austin county, Mr. M. F. Glenn of
this city and Miss Ella Simmons of
Industry, will bo united in marriage
by Itev. Grote. The ceremony will
take place at tho home of the bride,
the hour set being 1 p. m. The
ceremony concluded, Mr. and Mrs.
Glenn will return to Brenham at
once, and go to keeping house in an
elegant little residence on Vulcan
street.
The groom is a new comer and a
comparative stranger, but has made
many friends during his month's
sojourn in the city, all of whom re
gard him as a thorough going gen-
tleman to whom the city should ex-
tend a-hearty welcome, and in which
the Banner takes the initiative.

der can have contents and no quesi

hints FOR SCHOOL DAYS.
After nearly three months of va-
cation the city schools will resume
operations to-morrow for tie fall
session.
See that your children start the
first day and have them attend ev-
ery day.
Make up your mind in the begin*
ning that you are going to be one
of the best pupils in school.
Children should not be encourag-
ed to criticise their teachers. As a
rule bad bovs and girls are the first
to find fault with their instructors.
High mental culture carries with
it a charm and eloquence of beouty
that cannot be attained outside the
school room.
Another Runaway.
Among the casualties and catas-
trophes incident to Saturday was a
runaway at Farmer's cotton yard.
This time the eloping team belonged
to Mr. Lee Booker, of Independence,
win was having a load of cotton un-
loaded at the time. After running
some distance the teams collided
with an ox wagon, and gave the
negro driver a severe shaking up,
besides a few slight bruises.
Mr. A. C. Gea^smuck, a prominent
farmer of the Berlin neighborhood,
presented the Banner with a sample
of the pears he is growing on his
premises, which were very fine and
delicious in flavor, for which he has
our thanks.
In view of the fact that one firm
in Germany claims to have exported
three million thermometers in the
last five years, it is hard to under-
stand why thov still continue so
high.

our candidate for senator.
Hon. Heber Stone, was born Au-
gust 28th, 1853, in North Carolina
and moved with his father to Gal-
veston in 1860. JIo was educated
in the schools of Galveston, Bren-
ham, the University of the Sovth, at
Sewanee Tennessee and tho Univer-
sity of Virginia. At the ago of 19
he began life in earnest for himself.
He studied law under Gen. T. N.
Waul in Galveston and was granted
license to practice law before he
was 21 years old, the court having
removed his disabilities of minoritv.
After practicing a few years in Gal-
veston county, Mr. Stone moved to
Brown county, then a frontier coun-
ty and was county attorney of that
county, holding tho office until he
resigned. He remained in Brown
county until 1870 when lie married
Miss M. L Giddings, only daughter
of the lamented G. D. Giddings. He
then moved to Brenham and has
resided there ever since, and has
been intimately and closely connect-
ed with every enterprise for the
benefit of his towD, county and
state.
Mr. Stone is a democrat by birth,
education and inclination, and has
served with skill and ability as chair-
man of Washington county, through
several hot and closely contested
campaigns and brought certainty
and success out of chaos and doubt.
He is an unswerving, uncompromis-
ing advocate of the cause oi' silver,
and has written several articles on
the financial question, which attract-
ed wide and favorable comment.
He has always been with the mass-
es, on all question affecting the gen
eral welfare of the people, realizing
that the prosperity and perpetuity
of our government depends on the
prosperity of the people.
Mr. Stone is now the democratic
candidate for State Senator of this,
tiie 19th District, and the most
popular man in Washington county,
with all classes.—Bastrop Adver
tiser.
There are two or three old and
decrepit negroes who make regular
Saturday assessments on tho county
officers, and generally succeed in
obtaining a fow email coins from the
liberal hearted officials. The custom
has been in vogue so long that most
of the mendicants have come to re-
gard i-t as a mere matter of course,—
and accept the alms with as much
show'of dignity as if th'j money hail
been earned.
Mr. Herrmann Miesner has pur-
chased Mr. W. J. Graber's bicycle
business, and will open a similar es-
tablishment in tho rear of Mr. Ar-
thur Knolle's new book store in the
Dwyer building.
Rev. J. T. Browing, populist nom-
inee for district attorney, addressed
the sovereigns at Chappell Hill Sat-
urday night.

Blood

Its quality the condition of every organ de-
pends. Good blood means strong nerves,
good digestion, robust health. Impure
blood means scrofula, dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, catarrh or other diseased. The'surest
way to have good blood is to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla. This medicine purifies, vi-
talizes, and enriches the blood, and sends
the elements of health and strength to
every nerve, organ and tissue. It creates

phizes tbusly: "Let us all wait till
we get to the bridge before wo cross
it. It will at worst be many years
be'ore the free and unlimited coin-
age can hurt the currency much. If
the mints should go to work imme-
diately it would take them twenty
years constant work to raise the
circulation of coin to $30 per
capita. A year's work for the mints
is about G6jf cents per capita. This
is nothing to get scared at. If the
United States now had in her own
circulation all the coin, both gold
nnd silver, that has been coined
since tho fouudation of the govern-
ment, we would have legs than $35
per capita of population. If the
politicians will keep their mouths
shut, the commercial world will
settle the worst difficulties in an in-
credible short time. Political agita-
tion is doing us more harm than all
things eke."
