great scandle in his neighbor
hood. ' ,
The Fort Worth Democrat
boasts that at the next Mayor's
election of that city 2000 votes
will be polled. The Dallas
Morning Call retorts by saying:
It is impossible by that time
that the Pacific railroad bill will
have passed and the work of
constructing the road westward
begun, in which case Fort
Worth will be a deserted village
with a voting population reduc
ed to a hundred or thereabouts.
The Central and Sunset
routes have agreed to pass free,
coming and returning, all visit
ing bona fide firemen to the
coming parade of the Houston
Fire Department, on San Jacin
to day. The Telegram says
delegations will be present from
Austin, "Brenham-, Bryan, Cal
vert and Hempstead. The
chief contends that at least one
thousand firemen will partici
pate in the parade.
The Hempstead Courier says
that Alta Vista, the colored
branch of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college, has so far
proved a failure, because of the
inability of the colored people
to send their sons there; the ex
pense being greater than they
are able to bean The Courier
suggests that no boys under
fourteen years of age be admit
ted, and that "the pupils be made
self-sustaining by working on
the plantation, by this means
the' will be able to pay their
board bv their labor.
We arc not aware that the
present incumbent Mr. Giddings
will be a candidate. At any
rate there is an impression
abroad in this district that Seth
Shepard is the proper man, and
he will in all probability be the
Democratic nominee. Reek
dale Messenger.
. Mr. Shepard made many
friends during the late congres
sional canvass and we believe
he would be acceptable to the
Democrats of this district.

the. paper has been steadily
upward, and to-day it stands
second to none in the interior.
It will be the sole aim and ob
ject of the present management
of the Banner to give the people
of Washington and adjoining
connties.a county paper ofwhich
they may be justly proud; -with
this object in view no effort or
pains will be spared to present'
the latest and freshest news in
an attractive and readable
shape. It is perhaps unneces
sary to say that in politics, it
will in the future as in the past,
be unswervingly Democrat'c.
It will keep its readers fully pos

vass. Independence in 1822.
ThePleasantoniarrt pub
lishes an interesting narrative
by Capt Peter Tumlinson, one
of the pioneers of Texas. The
following extract may prove in
teresting to some of our readers:
In February 1822 we crossed
the Brazos. That day about
sunset thirty Caddo warriors
charged us, but a Mexican with
them-perceiving that we were
whites and prepared to resist,
called out; "Don't be afrafd, we
are friends." We employed this
Mexican to conduct us to the
San Antonio road." Thence we
journeyed to where Indepen
dence now stands. It was then
a wilderness over which vast
numbers, of cattle, horses and
buffalo roam6d. These cattle
were descendents of cattle im
ported from Spain,- through
Mexico long anterior to even
this eaily date. This country
had evidently been occupied by
civilized people for more than a
century prior to our advent; for
we frequently saw remains of
acqueducts, forts, hearths ctc.all
of very old and of Spauish ori
gin. The narrator cut and split
the first rails, and built them
into cattle pens, on the identical
spot where Independence now
stands. Other families soon
came. Our food was meat
alone; no salt, bread or coffee
could be had. We dressed our
selves in buckskin and wore
moccasins. . Our women were
also often compelled to wear
buckskin. The Indians were
quite numerous, the trite; being
the Lipans, Coronquowas, Ton
quowas nnd Creeks.
Cotton Culture.
The Austin Gazette insists
that there is no money in rais
ing cotton at present prices,
seven cents for good ordinary.
It says that a hand could not
realize $6 per month, exclusive
of picking, in working the crop.
The Banner has never advo
cated the exclusive cultivation
of cotton, but on the other hand,
has advocated a diversity of
crops and the cultivation
of wheat. As the matter stands
now; money or no morey in
cotton, one thing is evident to
every one, and that is, so soon
as the cotton crop is exhausted
money becomes scarce, busi
ness ceases and the dull season
reigns supreme. The farmers
are out of money, and the mer
chants, if they sell goods at all,
are compelled to sell on credit.
When farming, not only in
Texas, bnt in all cotton pro
ducing States, is changed so
that cotton will be raised as a
surplus crop, the complaint of
dull times will cease.
