The year 1891 will be the great-
est in Old Brazoria’s history.
The great events that are to hap-
pen are just beginning. Great is
J exas and great will be Brazoria.
Mr. J. W. Ryan, agent for the
Geo. W. Norton -property, passed
through town yesterday morning
with 400 head of cattle, destined
for the Pan Handle country.
They were* brought from Gulf
Prairie.
Last Sunday was Easter day,
the day when all Christians re-
joice at the resurrection of Christ,
after the fasting and self denials of
Rent. Mrs. Delaney celebrated
the event in true Espicopalian
custom, bv laying a table with tlie
finest turkey of the season.
There will be organized an Anti-
Croaker Society in Brazoria right
soon. It is proposed to elect Mr.
George Melgard President, Mr.

Velasco Talent Makes a 12it With Op-
era on the Boards.
The opera given b}’ the young
people of Velasco Avas a success-—
a decided success financially, so-
cially and artistically. The hall
in which the entertainment Avas
heldAvas croAvded, and the an-
nouncement Avas made to a large
crowd outside that there was not
even standing room. Indeed those
who had the management of the
entertainment had little idea that
there Avould be such an attendance.
But they came, and the Brazoria
croAvd of itself Avas large enough
to make a small sized audience.
Christie Av.as croAvded, and had as
much as the law allowed her. The
party Avas chaparoned by Mrs. An-
nie Masterson, and consisted of
the following couples : Dr. M. L.
Weems and Miss Eliza Delaney,
Mr. Rees P. SAveeny and Mrs. W.
S. Brooks, Mr. Henry Little and
Miss Alice Delaney, Mr. Walter
Turner and Miss Daisy Speed,
Mr. Dick Gaines and Miss Mary
Masterson, Mr. O. O. Nation and
Miss Fannie Harris. From Col-
umbia the party was joined by
Mr. F. B. Weeks and his excel-
lent lady.
The stage Avas handsomely ar-
ranged. The Operatic perform-
ance was under the special super-
vision of that talented young lady
Miss Hally Ballinger Bryan, to
whom should be accorded full
praise for an evening of pleasure.
Miss Hally has the happy facul-
ty of knowing Iioav to organize
and carry into effect. The
highest praise that can be given
to her effort is the fact that there
was not a break nor a hitch in the
acting of any of the participants.
For amateurs this speaks volumes.
Velasco people should feel proud
of Miss Hally and her efforts and
no doubt they do. To Mr. S. W.
JeAvell and Miss Blanche Bliss is
due a full mead of praise in the
arranging of the effects. This
should not be their last, for cer-
tainly Velasco has home talent of
which they should feel proud.
After some delightful music from
the orchestra, composed of Capt.
Sharp, Joe Ahrens, Mr. S. W. Je-
well and Capt. Hal Chinn the per-
formance opened with a recitation
of a poem, “Mona’s Waters,” by
Miss Aileen^Sharp. When is taken
into consideration the fact that she
Avas first on the list, together with
her age, her rendition of this
piece Avas highly creditable to her,
Her voice was full, Avell rounded,
plain and distinct, devoid of sup-
erflous effects, and having no book
nor prompter and for one so
young, she should be compliment-
ed.
The vocal duet bjT Mrs. C. A.
Bliss and Miss Lu Sharp Avas the
crowning event of the evening.
They received an enthusiastic en-
core from the delighted audience,
who were not satisfied Avith any-
thing but a repetition. Mrs. Bliss
has a reputation as a singer, Avhich
she fully maintained on this oc-
casion. Miss Sharp has a rich al-
to voice. “Change of Opinion”
Avas another comic piece, with
Mr. Vaughan, and Misses Sharp
and Livy Bryan in the cast, Avhich
was well received. Miss Bryan is
a handsome young lad}7, and on
the stage she was handsome
enough to be admired by all.
Mr. J. R. Marmion folloAved
with a guitar rendition. Mr.
Marmion has been visiting Velas-
co for a few Aveeks, and his repu-
tation as a performer upon that
instrument being well knoAvn lie
was invited to participate in the
concert Avhich he kindly did.
“Love’s Anodyne” was nex< on
the programe. Mr. S. W JeAvell,
Mr. E. Perry and Miss Hally Bry-
an. Messrs. Jewell and Perry
were at home in their parts, Mr.
Jewell sick Avith tooth ache, and
Mr. Perry as the doctor. Miss
Hally Bryan, made the hit of
the evening in this piece. Act-
ing seems to be second nature Avith
her. There are few ladies with
the natural ability that she pos-
sesses. Ease and grace follow
every movement, and the best tri-
bute that can be paid her is to say
that she has tlie ability to perform
anything she undertakes.
“King Alfred” was the main
piece of the evening, comic opera
in two acts, Avith Miss Lu Sharp in
the leading role. In this piece
the aetors had full play. To Miss
Lu Sharp must be accorded the
greatest praise, for certainly she
mastered her part with perfection.
Miss Lu is a fine singer. Her rich
alto voice give her vantage ground
as the King Alfred, and there was
not a Avord but Avliat could be plain-
ly heard, and her gestures Avere
admirable. She Avas chief among
them all, and the audience greeted
her Avith rapturous applause. Mr.
S. W. Jewell as Farmer Grubb did
excellently. He is a good actor
ary] was roundly applanded. Mr.
Stovall as Dumphine could not be
excelled. He was the star. The
audience went into ectaeies over
him. He has a rich melodious
The Farmers Alliance people
are at last seeing the practical
results to follow the proposed en-
actment of the sub-treasury
scheme and are no longer nursing
a theory. They will abandon the
sub-treasury plan, and have just
elected a steering committeee in
Washington that is radically op-
posed to such an idea. An Alliance
paper says :
“It appears that the sub-treasury bill
has been abandoned by the Farmers’ Al
liance. Mr. W. S. McAllister, presi-
dent of the Mississippi Alliance, says
so, and recent happenings confirm the
statement. For instance, the council
of presidents which recently met in
Washington went before the committee
on coinage, weights and measures and
asked that the free coinage bill be re-
ported and made no effort to have the
ways and means committee report the
sub-treasury bill. Another significant
pointer is the placing on the legislative
committee of the order of Capt. U. S.
Hall, president of the Missouri Alliance,
who is the ablest and most prominent
leader of the sub-treasury opposition in
the order. The Alliance will do the
right thing when it has time.”

The performance was voted a

Sixteen Feet ef Water Wow on the Bar
---Twenty Feet Expected By tlie
First of July—The Gentlemen
Talk ^Enthusiastically of
the Prospects.
Hon. C. B. Farwell, ex-Uhited States
enator from Illinois, returned to Hous-
ton yesterday from a visit to the mouth
of the Brazos.
Senator Farwell waTaGlpip^^J by
Congressman Abner TaVlor of Chicago,
Hon. W. M. D. Lee of Leavenworth
Kan., and G. W. Angle of this city.
With the exception of the last named
gentleman and Colonel Taylor the party
left for the North last night?.
In response to a Post reporter’s in-
quiry Senator Farwell saidEhe improve-
ments at the mouth of the Brazos are
fully up to his expectations. “It is a
good scheme,” said the senator, “and
will certainly be a success. The next
rise in the Brazos will give us twenty
feet of water across the bar. The shal-
lowest place now measures sixteen feet
deep, [and is constantly growing deeper.
There are places or spots which meas-
ure more.”
What depth of water do you expect
to obtain ?”
“Ultimately it is intened to have thir-
ty feet or more. The engineer in charge
says that the first fresb^trwill clean out
the channel to a twenty foot depth and
that a gradual increase will 1 be obtain-
ed. We shall proceed at once to com-
plete the jetties.”
“Plow long will that take ?’’’
“I was told by the engineer that he
can finish the work in thirty working
days. It should be remembered that
part of the time the water is too rough
to work, and I suppose that by ‘thirty
working days’ is meant that it will re-
quire a period equal to that amount of
time to finish the job.”
“What did you think of the site for a
town ?” ,
“It pleased me very much, and I shall
invest in the company and push the en-
terprise as much as I can. The town is
twelve feet above the gulf, and there is
no possibility of an overflow.”
“When will you offer your town pro-
perty for sale ?”
“I cannot say. I it best
to place the property"? n u/e market un-
til we have obtained tweeuty feet of
water across the bar, w'hichx should satis-
fy the people that we Itsve Vleep water.
We are now grading the streets and lay-
ing off the town site, and it will be some
time this summer before the first sale of
lots is held. I should think that a part
of the gulf coast with twenty feet of
water would be a big thing ,for the State
of Texas. When the merchant marine
of the world can find such a port on the
Texas coast to receive and discharge car-
goes and avoid the present expensive
methods, I cannot see why the people
in the cotton producing district of the
Southwest should notbthappy. Neith-
er do I see any reason to prevent the
building up of a large town at such a
port.”
“How much land does your company
OAvn on the Brazos ?’ ’
“I think there are over 36,000 acres in
the tract. Some of the land is however,
twelve miles up the river from the gulf,
and eight or nine miles from the propos-
ed town site.”
Senator Farwell was much elated
with his trip to the Brazes, and thinks
the site selected for the 'town which the
company will build a beautiful spot.
A TALK WITH ABNER Taylor.
Colonel Taylor is a congressman from
Chicago.
He has not been at home since last
Maj7, consequently did not participate
in the canvass and election last fall,
being detained in Washington by the
illness of his wife, as weifas by his con-
gressional duties.
Being questioned as .0 the Brazos
company, he said : “Ti e receivership
continues, but cuts no figure in the com-
pletion of the improvements. As soon
as the hands can be gathered a large
force will be placed on Vjr/^jetties, and
while the entire summer y ili be consum-
ed in their completion, the utmost ex-
tension can be made in a month after
work begins if the water is not too rough
for work. .
We do not propose tc delay the oth-
er work in waiting for Wiwje^ty work to
be done, but expect to begin construc-
tion of the wharves and docks at an ear-
ly day—say in about a month. These
will be of the most substantial charac-
ter, made to last, and will be proceed-
ed with steadily to the end. “As to
railroad connection we propose to begin
work on the line at the same time the
docks are commenced, anc build to Ar-
eola Junction at once. As to further
movements in this work I am unprepar-
ed to speak, for it depends upon circum-
stances which direction the road will
then take—whether to Houston or else-
where. I may as well p^juitian that the
construction of a good hotel building
will be a part of the immediate improve-
ments at the mouth.
“As soon as the jetty work is com-
pleted and deep water is obtained, as I
believe it will be with the next big rise
in the Brazos, which I am .told usually
occurs about May, a large part of the
holdings of the company, to some extent
at least, will be put on the market.
This is about all I can teiT you, except
that-we mean business and that I shall
spend considerable time in the near fu-
ture in this section, dividing my time
between here and the mouth of the
Brazps. ’ ’
“How is your cattle in Pan Hanhandle,
Colonel ?” asked the scribe. “It is all
right. We have spent about $1,000,000
in improvements up there and are well
pleased with the prospect of good returns
on the investment. We have about
150,000 head of stock on our lands and,
while we have made some sales of beef
cattle, have been heavy buyers and will
buy yet more. My opinion is, that oc-
cupancy of the country has made some-
what of a change in the climate as to
rainfall. Every farm opened makes it
that much better the preparation of the
ground for crops allowing the heavy
rains to soak into the ground, which of
course leads to more rain as evapora-
tion takes place.”
“How about another term in con-
gress ?”
“Excuse me please ; two are enough
for me, though next session I don’t ex-
pect to have much to do beyond holding
down a back seat and calling for the ayes
and nays.”
The scribe thanked the ever good ma-
tured and urbane gentleman and grace-
fully departed.
Frow the Galveston News.
In the United States court yesterday
Frank Caldwell submitted his resigna-
tion as one of the receivers of the Brazos
River Channel and Dock company and
the Texas Land and Improvement com-
pany and Mr. Gustave Wilke was ap-
pointed to succeed him upon his fil-
ing a bond in the sum of $25,000. Mr.
G. W. Angle is the other receiver of
these companies.
A decree was issued granting the re-
ceivers of the Texas Land and Loan
company authority to issue $50,00oof
receivers certificates to be applied to
the erection of a hotel on the town site,
laid out and designated 011 the land of
the Texas Land and Improvement com-
pany. The certificates are to be sold at
par and are to be a first mortgage lien
on the property.
Another decree was entered, authoriz-
ing the receivers of the Brazos River
Channel and Dock company to issue
$100,000 of receiver’s certificates to be
applied to the completion of the jetties,
wing dams, dredging, and to the con-
struction of wharves and other necessa-
ry work at the mouth of the Brazos.
These bonds are to also be sold at par
and to be a first lien upon the work per.
formed.
The Railroad anti Deep Water.
From the Galveston News.
Messrs. G. W. Angle and Gus
Wilke, co-receivers, and W. M. D.
Lee, president of the Brazos River
Channel & Dock company, arrived
in the city today. They are indi-
rectly from the mouth of the Braz-
os. In conversation with the re-
ceivers your correspondent learn-
ed that the situation there is very
satisfactory. Yesterday they let
the stone contract to Messrs
Clarke & Co., of Galveston, Avho
will begin to land the material on
the ground in a few daj’s. They
have all the appliances for doing
the work and can push it as rapid-
ly as will be expedient. There is
only a little more brush to be used
on the jetties, and the bulk of the
needed material being stone and
concrete. The section of the jet-
ties to be finished will be 12x4 feet
and several hundred feet long.
The jetty Avork will be finished in
ninety days, but the docks,
Avharves and hotel Avill keep a con-
tinuous Avork doAvn there. The
company has arranged its plans
and Avill have a number of railroad
contractors doAvn there in four or
five days to bid on the construct-
ion of a road from NeAV Velasco,
at the mouth of the Brazos, to Ar-
eola, a distance of thirty-eight
miles. All these features will be
worked along together, the jetties,
however, getting most of the ear-
liest Avork by reason of the June
rise in the Brazos, Avhich they are
anxious to get the benefit of. There
is now a straight channel between
the jetties of sixteen feet of Avater.
Messrs. Wilke and Angle will re-
main in the city tAvo or three days,
and return to the mouth of the
Brazos. In answer to a question
Mr. Angle stated that no survey
for a line of railroad would have
to he made, as the company had
the figures of three or four lines
run a year ago, one of Avhich Avould
be used.
THIS ROOSTER NEVER SAYS DIE.
Sealy County In the Soup.
Sealy county is in the soup. A
telegram from Hon. Jno. Adriance
yesterday states that the senate
killed the Sealy county bill after
a hard fight. The opposition had
little hopes of killing the bill in
the senate, but they had a feAv gen-
tlemen ready in the house to do it
up in fine style. The "senate vic-
tory is an agreeable surprise. And
for all these and other blessings
good Lord, make us thankful, not
forgetting to direct our enemies in
the paths of virtue, and try and
keep some of them from lying.
Peterkin Cotton Seed.
I am now offering 100 bueheld
of a new variety of improves
Peterkin Seecl for sale at $20 per
Bushel, or $5 per Peck. It is a
Limed Cluster, very prolific, fruits
from the ground to the top, and
matures every boll. Not liable
to dry forms on stalk like other
prolifics; not liable to fall out
like other clusters: makes about
the same turn-out of lint as the
Avell knoAvn Peterkin, (from 38 to
40 per cent).
I have three years experience
with this Cotton, and can say I
believe it to be the best Cotton
iioav in existence.
I have never offered it for sale
before, and have only 100 bushels
for sale. Order right aAvay if
you want them.
I am still offering my well
knoAvn variety at $1.50 per bush-
el, price reduced on large orders.
Cash must accompany orders
and freight prepaid, as R. R. Avill
not accept Cotton Seed without
prepaying Height. The price on
Improved Seed will not be reduc-
ed by taking over a peck, but will
be in the others if ordered in large
lots.

the Improved Seed, Avill consider
himself fortunate next fall. I
have never seen anything to equal
