E. L. Salley is hereby announced aa a can-

A Nejrro Shot.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock at the
steps of tho colored Methodist
church in Watrousville Mr. Dick
Hunt a young colored gontlemen,
aged about 19, shot Mr. Jim Jones,
another colored gentlemen about
tho same age, in tho breast with a
45-calibao pistol, tho ball ranging
upward making a painful and per-
haps dangerous wound. It ap-
pears that a young gentlemen had
gono to Galveston leaving a sloovo
button in Mr. Hunt's possession;
ho sent word to Mr. Jones to got
tho button from Mr. Hunt and send
it to him. Thoro was a social con-
cert at the church ; beforo it began
Mr. Jones asked Mr. Hunt for the
button, and ho mado some excuse.
After the entertainment was over
.Mr. Jones accompanied by two
young ladies, one on each arm,
was coming down the stairs lead-
ing from the front door of tho
church; Mr. Hunt met him and
said,^ '^Here's tho button/' Mr.
Jones reached out his arm to re-
ceive it; Mr. Hunt drew the pistol
and fired with the result alroady
stated. It is perhaps unnecessary
to state that the young ladies were
very much alarmed, and Mr. Hunt
was certainly very ungallant to
shoot in tho presonco of ladies.
Aftor the shooting tho shootist
skippod out by the light of the
moon. For tho imformtation of
persons who are not familiar with
colored people it is necessary to
state that in colorod society it is
impolite to spoak ot a person of
color otherwise than as a lady or
gentlemen, as the case may be.
Political.—The city canvass has
opened and with it tho colored
polititfans have begun business.
Brenham is blessed with a number
of them and they always take an
activo part in every election. They
arc shrewd and calculating and al-
ways make the most of the "influ-
ence" they possoss; to this ond each
candidate is visited in turn, and
each is givon an opportunity to for-
ward bis own interests. It is but
just to say that tho colorod voters
as a general thing are independent
of tho politicians—that is, those
who make politics a trade, and
l?ote for those who in thoir opinion
-will make tho best officers. As can-
didates for city offices promises to
!bo very numerous tho colored
jpolitierans look forward to a con-
tinuous picnic from now on till
election day.

Don't forgot lack's Bad Boy at
tho opera houso on Tuesday even-
ing. Tho play is a funny one and
will afford uroplo opportunity for
laughter. It is expected that the
boys will refrain from seeing this
ylay, because the Brenham boys
are all "uch good ones; they never
do anything wrong; never play
any pranks, never hook water-
melons or play "hookey," never
go fishing Sundays, and never go
Bwimming without first having ob-
tained thoir mothers consent.
1 Tho boys hero aro models of pro-
priety; they never smoka cig-
arettes—when they can't get em.

Planting with a drill instead of
sowing broadcast saves one-third
in seed.
Producing a crop is a necessity
whore fertility exists. If not a
valuable crop it will be one of
weeds, whose seeds are always
present and ready to germinate
when opportunity otters. If left
unplowod tho land should bo heav-
ily seeded with clover as to pre-
vent wood growth as much as pos-
sible. When most farmers talk of
giving their land a rest they moan
a rest themselves from tho labor
of tilling it.—Rural New Yorker.
There is always a quantity of
broken rice, hominy refuse, and
other waste, at tho grocery store
