Everybody's hat seemed to be too

The rain of last night was much
needed, but it was rough on the Glee
Club who have worked so hard, long
and faithfully in getting up their
entertainment.
The Brenham Daily Banner has
been enlarged to a 5-columu quarto,
which we believe makes it the largest
inland daily in the State, i. e., the lar-
gest paper outside of those taking pross
dispatches. We congratulate the Ban-
ner on its prosperity.—Huntsville
Item.
On Thursday night some thief en-
tered the house of Mr. James McAr-
thur and stole from his pockets about
$750.00 in money and notes, and about
1250.00 in cash. The thief has not
been caught yet.
Several counterfeit nickles have
been detected circulating in Caldwell
the past few days. The counterfeiter
is supposed to be in our midst. They
are a oomplete imitation of the genu-
ine and can only be detected by drop-
ping or cutting them. They are dated
1890.
Frank Chappell, the negro who
was bitten by a mad dog at the same
time Mr. T. A. Merces cows and hogs
were bitten about six weeeks ago, has
reached a sufficient stage of alarm to
muse him to decide on going to New
York to attend the Pasteur Institute.
The state shoot from May 8th to
12th inclusive will take place in Hem-
stead. This Is the sixteenth annual
tournament of the Texas Sportsmens'
association, and the shoot is under the
management of Messra. Wheeler and
Register, which is a s ufflcient guaran-
tee that it will be a great success. An
elaborate program is already out.
After the program special matches
will be shot each day. A four cent
railroad rate has been secured.
Yesterday The Banner discharg-
ed from its service one O. K. Lattin,
an itinerant printer, and he sncceded
in getting Eugene Ogles by to quit
also. Mr. Day was holding a case as
sub for my son—not being a regular
employee of this office. This is a truth-
ful statement of the af&ir, yet the
Evening Herald dubs it a strike, and
states that Sam Rankin, a brother,
had quit, which is absolutely false.
We have a full foroe at work and will
continue to issue the best paper eve
published in Brenham.
Brenham awoke with a big head
Tuesday morning—at least a great
number of her distinguished citizens
did—occasioned from having drank in
so much eloquonce, together with
champagne at the banquet tendered
Justice Seth Shepard at the Exchange
hotel last night.
Two or three hundred invited
guests assembled there last night to
do him honor, W. B. Garrett, Esq.,
acting as master of ceremonies. He
stated the object of the assembly,
when the large dining hall had been
filled to its capacity, after which D.
C. Giddings, Jr., offered the following
resolution:
Whereas, In the appointment of
Hon. Seth Shepard to the position of
justice of the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia, the president
has exercised rare discretion and
named for such position a gentleman
of spotless Integrity, rare legal attain-
ments and one in every way well qual-
ified to discharge the duties, of said
office, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Washington county, the birth place
of Seth Shepard, in mass meeting as-
sembled, while feeling loath to lose
him as a citizen of Texas, rejoice at
his well merited advancement and
wish him God speed in his new career.
Col. D. C. Giddings advocated the
adoption of the resolution in a speech
that was received with wild enthusi-
asm, after which Justice Shopard res-
ponded, starting out by quoting
Scott's "Lay of the last minstrel:"
Breathes there a man with a soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land,
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As homo his footsteps he tiath turned,
From wandering on a foreign stand.
He then continued to show how
recrean he would be to every trust
were he not grateful for the honor con-
fired upon him on this occasion and
attributed whatever success he had
attained to the friendship and support
of the people he had left behind him,
and he doubly appreciated the honor
and affection shown him here by all,
regardless of political affiliations, and
that wherever he went Texas would
always be his home and his childrens
home. He then referred to the record
made by distinguished Washington
county judges naming Hemphill,
Willie, Wheeler and Baylor and said
their attainments were worthy of
emulation and should furnish him
the inspiration to become one more
none the less worthy. He expressed
his gratitude that he had been born
in Washington county, the birth
place of Texas Independence.
Congtessman Pendleton was the next
speaker and paid Col. Shepard a high
eulogy which was enthusiastically
cheered—referring to him as a soldier,
patriot, jurist, friend and Democrat,
an honest man, the noblest work of
God."
Messrs. Heber Stone, Judges Curry
Kirk, Shepard, Tho«. Dwyer, Dr.
Creath, H. R. R. Hertzberg ail made
good speeches, but as Justice Shepard
had to leave on the 9:48 Columbian
Limited the entire assembly accom-
panied him to the depot, the proces-
sion being headed l»y the Second
Regiment band, the streets being il-
luminated with colored fireworks.
After the crowd of three or four
hundred had sped the parting guest
with yells that sent the air with
exuberant enthusiasm a large party of
them returned to the Exchange and
continued the mixed pleasure of pop-
ping champaigne and letting eloquence
flow from one speaker after another
until about midnight, but it would
take a Sunday paper to hold those
speeches, though some of them would
doubtless make amusing reading.
Many of the guests were carried
home in carriages, the punch, wine
and champagne being too much for
them.
Brenham has rarely if ever had as
enthusiastic a gathering as the one in
honor of Justice Shepard Monday
night, and he can but feel grateful
that he lives in the hearts of the peo-
ple of Washington as an ideal, the
ultimathulo of manhood.
We are now opening a full line of
