On Thursday evening there
was a moonlight party at Rose
dak Nurseries, for the purpose
of feasting on the various kinds
of fiuits that grow so abundant
ly at that beautiful place. The
Banner regrets that it was una
,blc to have a r-prcscntti-cc
jiscscuL.
The city was remarkably
quiet on Thursday; all the
Btenham owls were out in the
Washington beat superintend
ing the election of delegates to
the Black and Tan county con
vention, to meet here on the
15 th prox.
Rosedale Nurseries. A
representative of the Banner
visited these celebrated nurs
eries a few days ago. The fruit
trees are all heavily laden with
the choicest fruits. Thousands
of bushels of fine peaches, pears
and apples arc literally going to
waste, rotting on the ground
lor want of a market.
On the street corners and in
the bar-rooms white "Orpheus
C.Kcrrs" can be seen in earnest
conversation with the colored
man, voter and brother. The
colored man and brother will
learn after awhile that the gen
tlemen named above have no
use for them after their votes
are polled.
Owl convocations arc now
the order day and night ; there
are owls enough in search of
office to keep on the wing all
the time ;N while part of the owls
sleep the others arc out seeking
whom and what they may de
vour. The colored population
is kept awake so much that
when a country darkey comes
to town he has a sleepy look.
The city marshal was happy
on Saturday. I Ic had succeed
ed in running two tramps out
of town. If th'erc Is anything
iri this world that he dislikes, it
is a tramp. One of the tramps
succeeded in getting several
drinks, by representing that he
was a fanner and had a load of
corn on the way to town. The
corn didn't come.
Armed. Candy Garland, an
ancient colored gentleman has
been appointed special police
man for the classic locality of
Camptown. On Saturday he
was up in the city with a star
on his breast and the largest
kind of a revolver strapped to
his waist. He looked as proud
as Lucifer or a peacock in full
feather.
Fast Time (?) On Saturday
last the' Banner had a lot of
paper shipped from Galveston
by freight. That paper is com
ing yet. It is a general com
plaint among Our merchants
that it takes as long to get small
lots of freight from Galveston as
it does from New York. It
won't be thus when the Santa
Fe road is finished.
Turned Democrat. We
learn that C. J. Stockbridge,
who was elected to the Twelfth
Legislature on the Radical tick
et and, who always proclaimed
himself as a rampant Rad, now
turns up as a delegate from
San Saba count' to the Demo
cratic State convention at Aus
tin. It seems that his political
opinions have undergone a
considerable transformation
with the change of locality.
San Saba county is overwhelm
ingly Democratic.

Negro Killed.A negro
named Alf George washot and
killed by another negro named
Henry Calhoun, on Tuesday, on
or near the Jackson farm, 4 miles
north of Chappcll Hill. It
seems that Calhoun had been
out hunting, and on his return,
came up to two negroes who
were engaged in making hoards.
The board-makers said "let's
take his powder-horn away from
him," at the same time suiting
their actions to their words. Cal
houn turned loose on George,
killing him. The other negro
ran away. Calhoun went to
Chappell Hill on Wednesday
and gave himself up. His ex
amination took place before Jus
tice Onins. Result not learned.
Gone East. Messrs, T. J.
Pampell. R. Hoffman, and Hen
ry Hoddc, prominent merchants
of this city left by Thurjdry
morning's train for the Eaclem
cities t: buy their stocks of fill
pjodj.
Mayor's Court. Monday.
Steam pas promptly raised at
the usual hour. Everything be
ing n readiness, the following
grist was ground out: William
Payton, a white man was charg
ed with being drunk and disor
derly. It being his second ap
pearance on a similar charge,
he was taxed S3 instead of one,
and the etceteras. Tempi Petty,
a colored lady, was found guilty
of using bad language towards
another colored lady. $1 and
trimmings is charged against
her on the Marshall's books ;
pending a" settlement she spends
her leisure time "in the bastilc.
Cornelius Skelton. a colored
gentleman, was up for "cuss
ing" on the streets on Saturday
night. Si and trimmings now
detains Cornelius in the bastilc.
Got a Horse. On Monday,
July 8th, one Joe Russell, who
had been living in the Gay
Hill neighborhood, called at
Parks' stable and hired a saddle
horse for the ostensible purpose
of going to Mill creek; the
horse was to have been returned
the next day. The next day
came, but Russell jind the horse
did not come. Mr. Parks stat
ed a "tracer" after the horse and
man, and succeeded in finding
the horse at Hempstead, where
Russell had sold him with the
saddle and bridle for J5.0, giving
a bill of sale signed "Wilson."
He then bought a ticket for
Hcarne and left. Russell is
said to have relations 'living in
Dallas county, Ala., and has
probably gone there, on the
money.
Released. On the nth of
June last Ed. Barsantce was
brought here by the Sheriff of
Waller county and placed in
jail for safe keeping. The Wal
ler county sheriff told Sheriff
Hutchinson that he would send
up the "necessary documents"
to hold the prisoner. The pa
pers never came, but on Thurs
day Col. J. T. Griffin, of Hemp
stead came up here and procur
ing a writ of habeas corpus the
case came in for hearing before
Judge Williams, of the county
Court. Upon hearing the case
and there being no papers to
hold the prisoner he was dis
charged. Barsantce did not al
low the grass in Brenham to
grow under his feet, but at once
betook himself to tall timber.
On Friday Sheriff McDadc, of
Waller county, was here look
ing for Mr. Barsantce, but he
did't find him.
Mayor's Court. With the
mercury away up above the
nineties it is easy to raise steam.
The Mayor's court was set to
grinding on Friday morning.
The vie. Jin was one Katie Fer
guson, a very large black olea
ginous lady, who was charged
with using language calculated
to provoke a breach of the
peace. Rachel Hill, a sister in
law, was the victim of her
wrath. The peace and dignity
of the city of Brenham was
damaged to the extent of $2 50,
which with the "trimmings"
amounts to 511. The oleagin
ous lady not having that much
wealth, now groans and sweats
in the bastilc.
M. N. R. This means mid
night revellers. On Friday
morning early, that is about I
or 2 o'clock, a party of M. N.
R's, in a wagon or buggy, came
into town from the south, firing
off their gay and festive revolv
ers, and also, exercising their
lungs by hollowing as loutf-as
they could, and that was pretty
loud. The night guardians of
the peace made an inaffectual
attempt to capture the revellers,
who fired a few extra shots, and
putting whip to their horse, or
horses, drove out of town. Who
the parties were is of course
unknown.
Fire. Shortly after tcno'clock
on Friday night a fire broke
out in the stable on the place
of the late J. D. Giddings, about
a mile 3nd a quarter south of
tow n. The stable and a quanitity
of forage was totally destroyed.
A number of the members of the
fire department went to the scene
of the conflagration, arriving iu
time to save the carriage house
and cow sheds in close proximi
ty. The loss on the stable was
about S700, on forage about
300. There was no insurance.

OWL CO d vIUNIjN-
Thsy Gather rA Watrousvillo
'and Hoot Together.
On Monday evening, night
and away on inri! the peep o'
day on Tuesday morning the
owls held a communion- with
the colored brethren at Watrous
villo, at the colored meeting
house in that suburb of the
town. Shortly after tw ilight the '
"Orphcu: C. King" owls were
on the wing,, wending their
way to the place of com
munion. The faithful colored
brethrcm from Camps were also
"thar." The Banner Imq an
able aau experienced corps oi
reporters in attendance. The
following white owls were in
attendance ; they all want of
fice, either themselves or their
friends : Richard A. Harvin,
Paul Fricke, E. Kamien, O.
Crozier, Jonny O'Riordan, C. W.
Klaedcn, Tom Lockett, Car!
Schutze, Ed. Lockett, C. C. Bry
an, T. O. Hyncs, Jo Hoffman, J.
H. Hutchinson, J. L. Moore and
perhaps others If any other
'Orpheus C. King" gentlemen
of the pale-faced persuasion
were " thar" and their names
have been omitted, the Banner
will on application publish them.
The colored head centers and
leading men were "thar" in full
force. The black and white
owls communed together in
brotherly love and affection,
that is, affection for the colored
man's vote. Speeches were
made by nearly all the seekers-of-office.
Col. Kamien, Col.
Harvin, Col. Hutchinson, Col.
Moore, Col. Cummins, late of
Africa, and other distinguish
ed military chieftains, descanted
on their peculiar fitness for the
various positions to which they
aspire. They all said that they
would be "good men if elected."
So interesting was the occasion,
and so harmonious was the
communion of the kindred
spirits, that the meeting con
tinued until nearly daylight,
when the owls, with the instinct
of their winged and feathered
name-sakes, betook themselves
to their domicils and roosts.
Mayor's Court. Thursday.
Miss Cynthia Davidson, a rather
good-looking octoroon, appear
en before the court to answer a
charge preferred against her by
some of the colored people of
Camptown, charging her with
keeping a disorderly house, lo
cated a little distance north of
the African M. E. church. Miss
Davidson was represented by
C. C. Lockett, Esq., and the
city by C. C. Garrett, Esq. A
jury was demanded, and the
marshall selected an "illustra
ted" one, that is, 'alf and 'alf,
half black and half white. Ten
witnesses were summoned and
examined. Able and exhaustive
speeches were made by v the
counsel and the case submitted
to the jury, who returned a ver
dict that Miss Davidson did
keep a disorderly house. They
assessed the minimum fine, S20,
wince, together with the trim
mings, amounted to $35 95.
Miss Davison appeals to the
county court, and pending the
giving of an approved bond en
joys the hospitality of the city
bastile.
Ball of the Season. The
grand military ball to be given
at the Opera House 011 Thurs
day evening, August 8th, by
the Brenham Greys, promises to
be a brilliant one. Preparations
are being made for the accom
dation of at least two hundred
couple; a splendid band of mu
sic has been provided, and
everything augers well for a
good time. The members of
the company, who comprise
among their number some of
the best young men of our
town, are doing all they can in
the way of preparation. All
who attend may 'rest assured
that they will pass a pleasant
evening.
Excitement. A drunken
negro mounted on a pretty good
claybank horse raised merry
"Hail Columbia" on Sandy
street near St.CIiarles on Tues
day afternoon. As the marsh
al appeared on the scene the
drunken nig rode down the
street; the -marshal impressed
an animated backtrack but not
withstanding a liberal applica
tion of hickery was unable to
attain a sufficient momentum
to overtake the fleeing nig, The
marshal returned having cap
tured '3z hat of the noisv 00:1
Hrbecul. On Wednesday
th .re was a giand Republican
o-"0 v"' hirb:.cue given at or
near Graball, in the Washington
beat. Early in the morning a
number of the Brenham owls
were on the wing bound for the
barbecue. Eating, drinking
and speaking was the order of
the day. It is, perhaps, almost
superfluous to say that these
gatherings arc gotten up for the
special purpose of electioneer
ing w idi 'the colore J
With hard.

tire of these enterrainments that
the speakers are not near as
"bad" when Democrats are on
hand to take notes. When the
owls are by .themselves they
abuse the Democrats for every
thing imaginable. Never in
the history of a political can
vass in this county were the
Radical office-seekcis as active
as at present. There is hardly
a day but what a meeting is
held somewhere in the county.
It is difficult to keep up with a
healthy owl.

King of Prussia Beer Sa
loon. As will be seen by the
card elsewhere, Messrs. Leh
mann & Els have opened a saloon
under the above name in the
Asbeck building. Mr. Lehmann
has been for a long time con
nected with .the saloons of this
city and now launches out on
his own hook. The hungry and
those in search of liquid refresh
ments will do well to call at the
King of Prusia saloon.
Brenham Brewery. Bren
ham has had for a long time a
local reputation for the excel
lent quanity of her home-made
beer. No one has done more
to establish this reputation than
Mr. Lorenz Zeiss, proprietor of
the Brenham Brewery. We
take pleasure in calling atten
tion to his card elsewhere.
Hobby Horses.: The hobby
horses arrived in town on Sat
urday, much to the delight of
the little negroes and small
white boys. Every boy who
could raise a nickel was on
hand for a ride. Negroes of
large growth, both male and fe
male, are also liberal patrons.
A scarcity of nickels makes
hobby horsing rather dull.

CALENDAR CLOCKS-
. Mr. II. A. Engman, of Louis
iana, general agent of the Calen
dar Clock Company, is now in
the city. It is the intention of
the company to establish head
quarters at Brenham for the
surrounding counties. These
clocks are said to be all that
they are represented. In due
time our citizens will be called
upon by Mr. Engman or his
agents. The Alexandria, (La.)
Democrat says :
"Though it hai often been said that
Southern men lacked success and were
wanting in those. sterling qualities which,
in a business point of view, are justly at
tributable to our Yankee friends, it becomes
our pleasure to note the grand success that
energetic and gentlemanly agents of the
endar Clock Company have had in dis-
ng of their noted "Fashion" clock.
e Jeam that the best citizens of this
'Ji are aRatasJheiHstlves of this op-
rtunily of procuring an A Nij. 1 Clock
and Calendar. Their Superintendent, II.
A. Engman, who is a native of Louisiana,
informs us that their salts have been over
three hnndrcd in the past three months and
a half, and with flattering prospects still
ahead. Having one of their "Fashions" in
our sanctum, we cheerfully recommend all
in need of good time to avail themselves of
this opportunity. This clock L sold at one
price only, so all can rest easy as to fair and
square dealing."
A Card.
Some maliciously inclined
persons have circulated a re
port that I am a Republican
and luve been in the habit of
attending Radical meetings. I
attended the love feast at New
England for the purpose of re
porting the doings to the Ban
ner. Want of time prevented
my making the report. That I
am a Republican is simply a lie.
I am now and always have been
a Democrat, and expect to re
main one.
