Thlrtr.cfght Itnek shot Landed In
aXcgror's Body.
Some weeks ago a difficulty
occurred between a negro nam.
ed Bill Garrett and his -wife; the
roan It was a separatum; ths wo
man subsequently took np with
another negro named Andrew
Randcr, who lived on the Hall
Davis plantation, near Welcome,
Austin county. There had been
some skirmishing between the
two men, Garrett on one occa
sion having caught Hinder, ar
lii?, Garrett'.-1, housf in bed w ith
bL wit;; he pro.-ejdcd at once
to rnn liatnler off. Abont two
weeks ago Itmider and the Gar
rett woman, who had been
living together as already
stated, came to Brenhan
and houuht some supplies
and household god. They
returned to the- plantation
about dust; Hipper was prepar
ed and liander, the woman and
another negro man were sitting
at the, table quietly and com
fortably enjoying their repast;
just at thii time a man pnppo&ed
to have been Garrett slipped
np to the door-mid fired n. heav
ily loaded shot gnu. IJoles to
the number ot thirty-eight were
madcin Handera hack killing him
instantly. The gun was tired at
shortraiigeandneitheroitheothcr
two parties weiJnjured. Garrett
wa arrested on suspicion biit
has been released on bond. As
the shooting was done after
dark it was; impossible to recog
nise the man.
Deserved It. The Commis
riiincr' Court at its last seaaion
displayed its wisdom in ap
pointing one Wells, a negro, as
road orenccr in the Welling
ton district. The othsr day
Wells wa buly engaged in or
dering out hands to work on
the road, no approached Mr
Tom Evans a citizen of the
town of Washington, anil or
dered him to work on the roid
at the Birue time saying "It
ynn don't so I'll mike you."
Mr. E. replie 1, stating that "he
knew hi business" The negro
then became very in-olent, when
Mr. Evan knocked him down
with afull grown axe helve. A
brother of the negro then
chipped in, and stated what ho
would have done under the cir
emnstanocs and also uwil some
fancy language to a Mr. George,
who t jok out a knife. As soon
as the colored gentleman discov
ered this, he recollected that he
had urgent business out of town,
and left on the donble quick.
The one who hid partaken of
the axe-hilve wive left town
irumcriiitely after its application
to his head. It seems that tlio
appointment of a negr road
overseer hid an plevatinz ten
dency among the negroes gen
erally, ami they were disponed
'o pni, on a ;ood deal ot "style."
It may he -remarked that there
are plenty of goad white men in
the neighborhoo 1 who are com
petent to manage alUtho road

and a cover iiuiubjr than

1 ij-i B. II. B issott opened
tho ccjrcisc by raiding. Ho
read fir-it a slurt p-iii; after
which he re id (or rather ren
derel recitttively), a poe.n of
sublime v pathos, called "Bliii'l
ncss," John Brewnoii, the an
thur, was stricken blind in hi-s
mvihood. Anyone who -should
read thj pijoi would knav t!

would tay that ilaj. B. read it

Mr. Norton next sans a
pretty ballad, and anus it pret

gave us a German sonz, which
was exceedingly bcantitnl. Via
Maniie Lockett ployed a piano
solo. And last, though nil
least, Mr. Kiggs read a "FL-h

humorous and entertaining.

Scissors Sharpener. A
foreign gentleman appeared in
the city tho other day with a
knife and scissors grinding mi
chine, mounted npon a wheel.
It wa-' a gjrt of a one-legged
wheelbarrow kind of a "trick.-'
Knife grinders bsing indigenous
only to large cities, the appear

boys who posescd dull "bir

Dieii, at his lesidemo near

Thomas A Hcorn, id-loot son of
Col. T. J. Alleorn, ot this city.
His remains arrived here by
the noon train on Monday, ind
tho fnnoral took place from the
depot, to tho family burying
ground. A number of friend
of the family attended the funeral.
The Crrv Elejtion. Only n
a week intervens between now
and the city election, which
ooraes off on Tuesday ne,'t.
Candidates ar.) emulating the
fleas in activity. Not a moment
is lost. All their available time
is utilizjJ in cq itiating on
tltdir individnil merits, peculiar
Ctiie-, and ability to fill the
office:, fir which thev are run
ning. All are instigated 3old3
by a de-.ii c to serve the dtar,
e.mlidiug public. No great
amount ot electioneering lias
been done among the white
folks, but the oloied clement
has hid particular attention.
A number of midnight meeting-,
hare been held, and all
candidates who participated in
tlu-m feel sure tint they indi
vidually have a "dead thing."
So tar as the Eannke is nwai e
every one is running on his
merits and nsr-.otia' popnhrity.
Politics have played no part in
the canvnes.
YuLKiFEST. Several mem
bers ot the Bieuhahi Tolkifest
Association are in fax or of pui
cli ising grounds and building an
ampetheatre and other houses
tor the accomodation ot the
guests, who patiouiz.5 their an-
I nual exhibition,.. The Phillip'
Kit near, and adjoining the Ger
mania grou'idbarespokenofus in
every way suitable, and we
would not be surprised if this
lot is not purchased by the asso
ciation for the purposo aho vi
llained. The Banner heartily
eiidrtisas the ptupotjtion and
hopps that the purchase w ill be
made at an early day, as the
coit ot preparing the old Fair
grounds for tins exhibition each
year is about $400 which sum
could be sax ed by tins purchase.
TIocis. The big Iiw, so far
as this municipality is con
cerned, is a dead letter. The
town is a Kind-ot a fieo hog
ranche. There are four or five
parties, each owning from 20 to
40 head of hogs big and little
which roam -at large all ocr
the city, and whenever they
discover a defective garden
fence, work their way in and
mot np early potatoes and
other delieajie that tickle tht
pilate of an epicurean hotr.
Pistol Shooting. On Sat
urday night there was a colored
fsndango on St. Charles stieet.
Festivities wpre kept up till a
late hour; and, during the
progress of the ball, one or two
pistol shots were fired in the
vicinity of the freight depot.
Itftmeiiately upon hearing the
report of the pistol, the police
repiired to the depot, but the
-diootist had disippeared in the
darkness.
Stami'kwk. On Saturday
niht about three hundred head
of stock eiftle penned in the lot
of the old Maynard stabie stam
peded, breaking down the fence
and completely ruining Capt.
Biber's garden. It took the
owners until about 9 o'clock on
Sunday morning to gather them
UPj
New PoTvrois. On Sitnr
day last Mr. Sim. Stone
bro'iht some specimens o' Iribh
potatoes as large as partridge
cgs to town. He says they
are growing taster anil will in 1
turc several weeks earlier this
year than last. Four weeks
hence and Irish potatoes will
be plentiltil here for shipment.
Brkvham Schutzkn Verkin.
At the annual meeting ot
this organization tho following
officers were elected: Capt., R
Schmeibeck; First Xiut., F.
Rendor; Second Leint., If.
Fisher; Ad r't., E. M. Schlenker
Fun. Mr. Lott, of Wash
ington waj in the city on Fri
day with a fine load ot Brazos
river buflilo fish weighing
from 15 to 25 pounds each. He
sold then all out in a very short
time. He will be in town on
Saturlar next wiih another lot.
Irish Potatoes. Present
indications are favorable for a
very large yield of Irish pota
toes. Parties who are making
arrangements to ship them to
St Louis and other nothcrn cit
ies, are now trying to secure a
reduction in railroad tariffs.
The Grnd Rounds. Can
didates are now busy every
night making what they fa
cetiously call the "grand
rounds," endeavoring to ascer
taiit,hov the stand,
Shipment or Eggs. Mr. Jas.
A. Wilkins, agent of the Texas
Express Company, furnishes the
Banner with the following:
"There has been shipped by
express fronl Brenham to Hous
ton and Galveston, from Dec.
15th 1877, to March 26th 1878,
878 cases contnining 26,340
dozen eggs." It will be seen
that the hens in this vicinity
have not bccnidle during the
j- winter. At an average of only
ten cents a dozen, these eggs
would amount to S2634, equal
to the value of nearly 60 bales
of cotton, at 9 cents per pound
In addition to eggs, large quan
tities of poultry, dry hides etc.,
have been shipped. The total
value ofminor articles of pro
duce shipped during the year,
amounts to a large sum in the
aggregate.
Bitten by a Dog. A few
days ago as a three year old child
of Mr. Jack Ward, was out play
ing with its sister, aged abourtt
12 years it was attacked by a
vicious dog and severely bitten;
one ear being nearly severed
foom the head and the scalp
laid open for two or three inches.
Mr. Ward resides in the north
ern part of the city, near the
branch. The dog is owned by
a woman in the neighborhood,
who refuses to have it killed,
notwithstanding it bit another
child very severely, some weeks
ago.
Profitable. Mr. George
Harvey, of Kentucky Ridge,
Austin county, bought about
tw enty head of stock cattle and
fattened them on his farm with
corn of his own raising. He
kept an account of the quantity
of corn fed. Some two or three
weeks ago, he sold the cat.Ic
and after deducting the cost of
the cattle, he finds that his corn
has netted him seventy-five
cents a bushel at home. t This
beats cotton at 12 1-2 cents a
pound.
Marriage Licenses issued
by H. M. Lewis, County Clerk,
for the week ending March
28th:
Charles Stephenson and Em
aline Green.
Henry Davidson and Tisha
Brown.
August Bunte and Meta Gal
lop. William Gaines and Angeli
na Hutson.
Johnson Kennedy and Har
riet Blue.
Wheat. Mr. Black Lock
ridge, who planted six acres of
wheat as an experiment, says it
is growing beautifully, and with
a good season will yield well.
He is well pleased with his ex
periment thus far, and thinks
wheat will grow as well in
Washington count, as it will in
any portion of Central Texas.
Quite a number of chaps
who were summonsed to do
street work' and did not put in
an appearance, and who have
failed to pay their pro rata for
the same have been reported to
Justice Hynes; and, the conse
quence is they will now have a
nice little bill of trimmings ad
ditional to settle.
Volksfest Orators. Carl
Schutze and Robert ikhmer
beck have been elected as the
orators of the day at their next
Fest, which takes place in this
on the the 10th of may next.
The former delivers an oration
in the English language and the
latter gentleman in the German
language.
Last week the County Clerk
was unhappy having only issued
twomarnage licenses. This week
he is moderately happy having
issued five. The number of
marriage licenses is the barome
ter by which he measures the
different degrees of feeling, from
abject misery to cxhubcrcnt
happiness.
The Central Hou.se of this
city, is now enjoying a fine run
of business. Mr. Rutherford,
the genial proprietor, is untiring
in his efforts to render his guests
comfortable. His table is well
kept up and gives entire satis
faction to his patrons.

Invitation. Capt. Schmer-.

Vcrcin, has received an invita
tion from Mr. J. W. Golledge,
secretary of the Waco Mai Fcst,
asking the company to attend

upon the Waco celebrationwill
probably prevent the Schutzen

Gay Hill "Local.
March 25, 1878.
I sec that Gay Hill locals
have entirely disappeared from
your paper. If you will accept
the communications of a green
clod-hopper, I will endeavor to
post you in regard to the move
ments of our fanners. They
arc all through planting corn,
and some of the early birds
have ventured to plant a little
cotton, but this fowl is still
looking for a squall in the shape
of a big frost The gardens are
flourishing, and we have some
early vegetables. There is noth
ing very startling here in the
shape of news, so it will be
difficult to make my Communi
cation interesting; but as I pro
pose noting passing events, I
trust something worthy of my
pen will turn up by the next
time. We have preaching reg
ularly at the Baptist and Pres
byterian churches; and the
Presbyterians have a flourishincr
Sunday school, which seems to
be exercising a good influence
in our neighborhood, as I note
amongst them some of the
worse roosters. We have noth
ing in the way oramusements,
except our literary Society,
which is not altogether literary,
but is about to be merged into
a dancing and courting society:
"Pecksniff."

Grabaix, .March tb, 1S78.
Editors Banner.
I notice in your last weekly
issue that you desire a corres
pondent from this place; and,
without any flourish of trum
pets we make our bow to the
public, and offer you our ser
vices, though humble they may
be. Graball is situated in the
extreme eastern portion of
Washington county, and we
think we can say without exag
geration that it is the best por
tion of the county, Brenham is
distant about nineteen miles,
Navasota twelve miles, Ccurt
ney six miles, and Washington,
slumbering in her quiet
beauty, six miles. The
Methodist church, known
as old "Rock Island, is noted
in thehistory of early revivals
and old-fashioned camp-meetings,
which -are now almost a
thing of the past. We have one
academy in the neighborhood
also called "Rock Island," but
we regret to say it does not
seem to be flourishing. Our
colored brethren also have a
school, which is considerably
patronized. Crops are a 'little
backward, but the farmers, de-.
spite the low price of cotton,
are in buoyant spirits. Several
acres of wheat have been sown,
and is" looking wdl. Of course
this is merely experimenting,
and if it proves successful a
considerable acreage will be
sown this fall. The only no
table occurrence in the neigh
borhood recently was the
launching- last Sunday evenine
on the majestic Brazos by Dr.
R. H. Butterfield of his most
beautiful yacht, "TheRd War
rior." Truly did she "walk the
waters like a thing oflife," and
the shout that went up from the.
assembled multitude was really
deafening. "Long live the gal
lant doctor was resounded from
the- hills many hundred yards
up'the river. "The doctor bore
his honors modestly, and only
bow ed to this continued greet

Dkab Sm The prospects
for bountiful crops during the
coming season never looked
mnrc lavorablo at this season
of the year than they do now.
Aside from the iact that there
will be a very large increase of
acreage in rnhivation in Wash
ington connty, I notice that
farmers generally are diver
sifying their crop"? more than
in iortner yearr which I think
a very llcnlthliil sign, for we
never willbccome at wealthy,
pro8crous people until welcarn
to produco what we consume.
It is certainly the friglith ol
lolly for farmers in this coUntv.
to payout thousands of dollarf
annually for bacon, flour and
syrups, when they can be pro
duced as cheap here as 111 any
part of the northwest. This
being an agricultural county,
and the interest ot the farming
community being paramount to
any other, it occurs to me that
wc should be represented in
onr next Legislature by a prac
tical thorough yoing ffrmer.
oue well acqiiaited with onr
wants, ami able and
fe.irlet-s in demanding and ad
vocating our rights such a
man I believe Capt. J. M.
Williams ot Independence, to
be. Think of it, formers.
