. BRENHAM, WASHINGTON COUNTY, TEXAS. FRIDAY, JANUARY 18,
rj,. 'iimiii.i - i
AUENTS.
The Dallas Commercial says
the New York merchants have
announced their "ititention to
withdraw theii commercial
agents or drummers. This it
regards as a move iu the right
direction, because the solicting
business is overdone. Tho pub
lic'ure made to bear the entire
expense of the system; the coun
try is literally overrun with
agents ot various kinds. We
may remark that in the INt of
of agents the lightning rod men
take the precedence, then the
lite insurance agent, out ins
business is on the wane, the
sewing machine man, the book
ageut, the map peddler, .the
newspaper canv;issers, the chiro-
podist, the man with the lung
tester, the patent soapi-t, the
man with the patent churn, the
patent gate man, the patent
medicine man aud many others
too numerous to mention. The
expenses ot all these men have
to bo-paid by the consumers of
the various articles Suld by
them. Many ot tho goods
handled by agents are sold at
prices in many instances one
hundred percent, over and above
what the article could he bought
tor at the manufactory for cash.
The system ot selling gooda
to merchants in the country by
drummers has been in vogue for
many years, and we believj it
has been found to work satis
factorily to the wholesale deal
ers. It, however, the merchants
find they can do business with
out the employment of traveling
salesman or drummers, ami find
it to their interest to patruuize
tho newspapers a little more
liberally, the publishers will
have no cause to complain.
Georgia has lorty cotton fac
tories, nearly all of which are
making money for their owners.
Texa3 has no cottcn factories
"worthy of the name, although""
there are one or two mills dur
ing a profitable business, their
product is so small as to be of
no importance. Texas cotton
stands at the head of the list
with spinners, and -there is no
reason in the world why we
should not. have as successful
cotton mills as Georgia. The
day is not far distant when,tlm
manifold advantages of this
State will be fully realized by
capitalists, and the advantages
she offers fully utilized. It is
only a question of time, aud a
short time at that.
Cremation. The Galveston
Civilian, of tile 7th inst, just
received, has an editorial on this
subject, in which it tavors cre
mation as being f.ir preferable
and more healthy for the living
as applied to Galveston, where
the nature of the soil and the low
ness of the laud prevents bury
ing of the dead to a greater
depth than about two "feet.
After a man is dead it makes
buttle difference to him what
becomes of his mortal remains.
The question of their disposal
is in the hands of the living.
Popular sentiment at the present
day favors tae burial of the
dead. Hodern science and an
advanced public opinion m ly at
some future time adopt crema
tion as the means ot disposing
ot their remains, particularly in
the large cities and densely
populated sections
Recent dispatches report
further Russian victories. Con
tradictory reports are made re
garding the condition of the
armistice. A Bucharest dis
patch says it is rumored the
Grand Duke Nicholas has de
manded the surrender of
Adrianople. The whole Rus
sian army feels the hardness,
almost the injustice, of an
armistice proposal coming just
when a final triumph is in view.
The feeling at Russian army
headquarters i3 strongly against
crmistiec. A large number ot
fugitives are flocking to Con
stantinople. A dispatch from
the latter place says : The pop
ulace are irritated against Eng
land, whom it is declared is
morally rcspon-iiilc for Tin key's
misfortunes.

and now propose erecting one of
the finest church edifices iu that
city.

Austin is crying for more
trade, yet Mexican silver is quo
ted at from 10 to 20 per cent
discount for small amounts. In
targe amonnts it would, perhaps,
not be worth anything.
Col. John T. Pettus, one
of the original three hundred
colonists who came to Texas'
with Austin in 1822, died at
his plantation in Bee county,
on the 3d inst., aged 77 years.
At Fort Worth a man
named Lonis Heller became in

livery stable keeper named John

penny, the only one ho ever

A prize fight is on the

Jim Blaine, of Maine ;
Eugene Hale and ex Secretary

Houston sportsmen (Nim
rods, not gam'-ders,) report any
quantity of wild ducks and
geese on the prairies and down
the bay. The prairies aie in
such a moist condition that
hunting is anything but pleas
ant. Austin must do something
to relieve herself, says the Ga
zette. A narrow gauge railroad
to Llano county is suggested as
the thing to give immediate re
lief. There is, perhaps, but one
obstacle in the way the lack ot
money.
A juror in Hamilton

a man named Bishop stopped

Watkins came out when ho at

bowels and lungs. Watkins is

The Waco Telephone thinks
that city has a population of
nearly 11,000, and saj-s if the
people can be satisfied through
the report of a reliable census
taker; that " we really have a
population in excess"of 10,000,"
it will give a new impetus to
the piosperity of the town.
Send for Edwards, the Chicago
directory man, and ha will take
a census giving any required
population from 5,000 to 50,
000. TnE San Antonio Express lias
something to say -about the
Western railway question. A
road is wanted from that city
to the Rip Grande. The Ex
press thinks that with a railroad
westward San Antonio would
still be able to retain her Mexi
can trade, but that if a road
was constructed direct to the
Rio Grande, with its terminus
at Houston, Galveston or Cor
pus, San Antonio would -be
' left out in the cold."
Richmond was on Satur
day, the scene ot a cold-blooded
murder. Harry Hill cut W.
R. Claxton with a knife. Clax
ton died ir. half an hour. It
appears that the deceased was
indebted to Hill a few dollars
for rent, and that he collected it
in the manner stated. Hill
made his escape on horseback.
Popular feeling is very strong
against him, and should he be
caught it is thought that Judge
Lynch will relieve the couits of
the necessity of a trial.
"Wood Would that those

Bken-iiam, Jan. 12, 1878.
Editok Banner: L see in your
paper of to-day a notice ot the
death ot John, T Pectus, ot
Bee county, etc. I have no
doubt the Peltns" referred to is
John F. Pettus, who I have
known since January, 1S31. and
was the son of William Pettns,
who was one of Stephen F."
Austin's 300 families first set
tlers in the wilderness ot Texas.
John F. Pettns was the only
child ot Col. Wm. Pettus, and
was a small bov when his father
came to Texas'in 1823 or 1824.
John F. Pcltus was second
lieutenant company D, first
regiment volunteers at the bat
tle of San Jacinto, 21st April,
1836. Capt. Mosely Baker
commanded the company I
was a sergeant in the same
company. John Freeman Pet
tus was not over 65 years at his
death, as I remember him as a
voung man at San Jacinto.
Thus are tho Texas veterans
passing off and will soon all be
gone from earth. Yonrs. etc.,
