Febgcsc k, of Fort Bend, aspires
to rival Cimey, of Galveston, for the
honor of leading the colored forces
of Texas.

The cotton planters of Georgia
are now getting their advances from
the cotton factors. As a usual thing
the factor? begin advancing money
in January, but this year they de-
ferred it for sevoral weeks, owing to
th ? condi'ion of business.
President Harrison has been in-
formed by the World's fair board of
control that the Chicago directors
have decided not to ask congress to
lend tbein the $5,000,000 heretofore
solicited. President Baker, not-
withstanding, still wants the loan.
Congressman Br eo ken ridge of
Kentucky is of the opinion that if
the house of representatives will
pass a bill substantially repealing
the McKinley tariff law that it will
male a platform for the Demt eratic
party upon which it can win this
fall.*

It has been discovered that a good
proportion of the flowers sold this
winter to the Chicago elite for thea-
ter and house events were grown in
the local cemeteries. The Florists'
club has employed a lawyer to re
port on the legality of cemeteries
selling flowers.
A. fisherman at Alton, 111., noticed
a boat drifting down the river, and
upon approaching it the corpse of a
middle-aged man was found lying in
the boat. He had evidently been
robl>ed, bound to the boat and mur-
dered, after which the skiff was set
adrift. There is no clew to his
identity. •
CASTOK BEANS VS. COTTON.
iSome tiaie since the Auron-Chroni
cle wrote to tbe Weatherford Castor
Oil Company for information con-
cerning the cultivation of tho castor
bean, and this is what they learned .
It has been proven that the castor
beftng will yield a better and surer
crop tLan cotton.
The benns begin to ripen about
July 15th and continue to bear till
frost.
Twenty to thirty bushels per acre
can be grown on average laud with
less labor than cotton.
The aeed are in active demand at
the mills at from $1.25 to $1.75
cash.
The beans bring money earlier in
the season thau cotton, and can be
markete t in any quantity.
The crop being finished by frost
your children have a chance to go
to school.
Ground for the beans should be
prepared just as you would for corn.
Plant from 20th of March to 15th
of April, in hills, either drill or check
about 3^x4 feet; when the plant iB
five to eight inches high thin to one
stalk in a hill. Cultivate as you
would corn, and as long as you can
plow through the rows without
breaking the stalks badly.
The soikes or bunches of beans
begin to ripen at the bottom, and
when the lower beans on a bunch
begin to turn brown or crack open
the whole bunch should be cut off,
and for this purpose they should be
gone through at least once a week,
When the seeds have all popped
out of the shell clean them with an
ordinary grain fan with riddles to
'snit, or by pouring from a height on
windy days.
Those who best prepare for 60w
ing their crop will find most pleas-
ure in working with it.
All persons desiring seed can get
them freqa ihe Weatherford Castor
Oil Company at cost. One bushel
of seed is sufficient to plant eigteen
or twenty acres, as two or three
beans to the toll will insure a stand
The company will cheerfully cor-
respond with anyone who desires
information notfiven in the forego-
ing. aad wfH take pleasure in girifg
V any asai—tance in their power.

from their annual re-union at Corpus
Christi Tuesday night, or rather
Wednesday morning, as they came
in on the 2 a. m. train, save one or
two that went from this place.
A Banner reporter caught on to
some of them Wednesday and de-
manded to know what they had done,
in the common parliance of the gang
with "the boss," and the honorary
member from here County Attorney
Ben. S. Rogers, and after being as-
sured that they were all right and
would be in later, the former having
stopped over at Beeville the latter
remaining one day longer in Corpus,
proceeded to pump the old veteran
for comparisons in the way Corpus
treated tho Brigade compared with
Brenhams entertainment of the same
association last year.
He gave us to understand that the
comparison might be odious, and
then after making excuses for Cor-
pus, said that those people done tbe
best they could, and treated them
royally, but the weather was not
propitious for such a celebration as
they had here, besides they did not
expect as much of Corpus Christi as
it was not as big a city as Brenham,
However he added, we all enjoyed
our stay there and upon our return
had to stop over at Giddings where
we were treated to an agreeable sur-
prise, those kind, thoughtful and
hospitable people haying prepared
for our entertainment a royal ban-
quet and gave a grand ball in our
honor.

By the 15th of May Brenham will
have a 20 ton ice plant in operation
and be lighted by electricity. The
Brenham Compress and Oil Mill
Company will put in both plants and
and operate them in connection with
their comprcss and oil mill. The
organization of the Brenham Com-
press and Oil Mill company has been
a great thing for the city of Bren
ham, and in them lies her future
hope. They have united tbe dis-
cordant elements here, and are now
making improvements that, as the
Banner has previously stated, will
necessitate an outlay of $40,000.
Breriham has made so many efforts
■ to get electric lights and "seen her
j fondest hopes decay," that among us
are still some doubting Thomases,
but seeing is believing and we are
assured that by the 15th of May we
will see the electric lights turned on.

At the return leap year ball Tues-
day night given by the young men,
complementary to tho young ladies
who gave the leap year ball proper
some time since, and set the pace
for them to follow, there were about
35 couples present and the young
men did their best to reciprocate the
kindly attentions of their fair guests
who had previously been the hostes-
es, and that they succeeded, if not so
well as their fair entertainers, ad-
mirably, iB evidenced by tbe universal
praise heard of the pleasures of the
affair on the streets and by every one
in attendance Wednesday.
The mud hole on West street near
the H. & T. C. crossing, which the
Bannkb referred to a few days ago
has been filled in by a car load of
gravel, and Mayor Wilkins informs
us that it would have been long
since, but that he was waiting on
the Central to furnish the gravel.
The street along there is in splendid
condition now.

Bull's Sarsapari 11a would be as inert as

Sarsaparilla contains no unimportant in-

for ita beneficent effect upon the human

system. Combined, they exert a harmo-
nizing influence upon every function of
the body, improving digestion, strengthen-
ing the iiver and kidneys, cleansing the
blood of poisonous matter, soothing the
nervous system, enlivening the mental
faculties, and in a word, by infusing new
strength and life, completely rejuvenates

like a new person.
SARSAPARILLA
Elmer Hoison, Alvarctto, Tex., writes:
"My strength and health had been felling
me for several years. My blood was in a
very impoverished condition and very im-
pure. My limbs felt lame, rickety and
rheumatic, and I could not walk without
totteriag. I felt myself growing prema*
turely old, and my face began to look
pinched and shrivelled. I suffered con-
siderable, was restless at night, very ner-
vous, and growing very melancholy. My
•yes were sore and I had catarrh. I tried
many tonics, and bitters and blood puri-
fiers, but failed to get better. I finally

bought six bottles of Bull's Sarsaparilla,
and before I had used it all I felt like
another man. My strength and health
improved, pimples and sores disappeared
from my person, aches and stiff joints left
ma, and I consider myself a well person."

The Ledbetter quarry is to be
opened up again, aod in a few days
rock from there will be passing here
over the Central. This quarry was
abandoned because the rock didn't
come up to the required weight of
140 pounds to the square foot, but
since the reduction in the require-
ments to 130 pounds to the square
foot it has been decided to open
that quarry up again, and the track
that was taken up leading to it is
being put down again, and in a few
days it will be in operation. Wfth
the trains from there and Marble
Falls, it iB estimated that 30 trains
per clay, loaded with rock will be
passiug here over the Central, to
say nothing of the vast number that
goes over the Santa Fe from the
quarry in this county.

At 2 a., m. Wednesday morning a
Hibernian was found by Marshal
Swain on a second story awning
stalking around "kinder uneasy
like," and when asked what he
was doing up there and how
he came to be there he said
he didn't know, but thought some-
body must have put him there, or
else the house was haunted and he
had been made take the "ghost
walk." He said he was drunk the
night before and that when he came
to himself he was on top of the
awning unable to get down, Marshal
Swain assisted him to dqpeend from
