Twelve marriage licenses
"were issued during the month of
June.
Union Grove will celebrate the
glorious fourth with a big barbecue.
The Maroons that is the six
who remain have arranged a
game with the Americans of
Houston for Sunday afternoon.
A reminder that this Is the
first day of July viewed in the
light of the bill collectors who
will soon be making their rounds
seems superfluous.
The proprietor of the Metro-
politan Milk company Mr. E. P.
Pomeroy has sold out his dairy
business and will remove to Gal
veston at an early date.
Mr. Harry Raine at one time
an attache of the Banner has
purchased the old Plaindealer
plant at McDade and will begin
the publication of the "Key
stone" on the 9th inst.
A rate of four cents a mile for
the round trip with a special
coach attached to the local freight
leaving here at 9 o'clock Satur
day morning will doubtless in
duce a big turnout to the Lyons
barbecue.
An informal shoot was arranged
at Firemen's park Wednesday
evening. Messrs. L. J. Lockett.
Amos Smith and Claim Agent
Evans of the Santa Fe tried their
hands at a number of "blue
rocks" and made some fair
scores.
The gossips were busy Wed
nesday rolling a delectable bit of
scandal under their tongues. In
this connection it may be pardon-
able to remark that the news
papers of Brenham should be
commended for refusing to be-
come scandal mongers.
A little more earnest united
and well-directed effort would
put Brenham in the front rank
among small Texas cities. And
no one enterprise will tend more
to bring about such desired re-
sults than the extension of the
Brenham and Brazos Valley rail-
way from Stone City to Brenham.
This line will increase our busi-
ness in all lines at least one-
third while adding largely to our
population. There is both money
and business in the enterprise
ior Brenham. Now what are
dur people going to do about it?
H. W. Carlton a-blue-bellied
yankee away up in Maine writes
the Galveston News strongly pro-
testing against the people of
Texas exercising the God-given
right of managing and conduct-
ing their public schools in such a
manner as to them may seem
correct and proper; and even
goes so far as to say that the
exercise of" such privileges will
liave a tendency to prevent men
of his calibre from emigrating to
Texas &c. If that be the case'
thank God for it. Texas needs no
' such citizenship. She has a right
to dictate the course of study to be
pursued in her public institutions
of learning and by-the-eternal
she will exercise it the kick3 of
such men as Carlton and the
Galveston News to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The bill recently enacted cur-
tailing the fees of county officers
though received with almost if not
entirely unanimous approval by
the people meets with a mild but
none the less vigorous and em-
phatic howl from certain gentle-
men affected. It is asserted that
one of them a Harris county
official will take the matter into
the courts and test the validity of
the act. It is to be hoped he
will. Reforms like revolutions
never go backward and the bell
has tapped the death-knell of
princely incomes from modest
offices in Texas. The present
law is probably crude in many
details but time and experience
-will demonstrate where amend-
ment is desirable and amend-
ment3 will be made as the
exigencies and demands of
equity suggest. The cut in high
fees and salaries however has
come to stay and the only won-
der is that it was so long" deferred.
Events of "Hinor Importance Occurring at
T'Ae Temple of Justice.

LYNCHING bee spoiled.
Sheriff Curry of Burleson County Was Too
Quick for the Would be Lynchers.
An effort was made to lynch
the negro Little who killed Jim
McCoy in Burleson county Mon-
day. Little is an exconvict and
McCoy was a convict guard.
Sheriff Curry of Burleson coun-
ty had placed Little in the Bryan
jail for safe" keeping until he
could be conveyed to Caldwell.
Tuesday morning the sheriff got
wind of a lynching party that
was headed towards Bryan and
promptly spirited his prisoner out
of harm's way not stopping until
the murderer was - safely lodged
in jail at Waco. Wednesday the
sheriff brought the'negro to Cald
well? No further trouble is an
ticipated.
AT THE ICE FACTORY.
A Warm Engagement Between Hessrs.
(Dunlap and Hall.
The frigid atmosphere of the
Brenham ice factory was not
sufficient to cool the blazing wrath
of two prominent young business
men of the city Thursday after
noon. When the thermometer is
dancing around the century mark
it requires no great exertion to
make one's blood boil. And
when "hot words" join hands
with hot weather it is impossible
to "keep cool" even with cold
storage advantages. So when
Mr. W. T. Ball gave Mr. Burney
Dunlap the "frigid fist" "in the
shape of. an insulting epithet
Mr. Dunlap proceeded to "make
it warm" for Mr. Ball. In spite
of the fact that Mr. Ball had a
baseball bat he was "struck out"
in the second inning by one of
Mr. Dunlap's left hand curves.
Mr. Dunlap made "a safe hit"
but made no effort to score a
"home run." Both gentlemen
were severely bruised in the en
gagement.
Dutch Sharp.
Dutch Sharp a county con-
vict who escaped the vigils
of the' county convict guards
about a year ago and has been at
large ever since was brought in
Wednesday by Constable Laud-
erdale and lodged in jail to await
transportation to the farm. "He
was captured Tuesday night on
the Lee county frontier.
Pussy Revisited the Scene of Her
Nocturnal Ramblings Once too
Often.
Alas Alas! "When the c&t camo back
'Twos the end of all its fun;
And the back yard fence is draped in black
For Johnny had got his gun. f
In the business of coming back
the cat is a monoplist and as the
embodiment of monopoly it can
be said that the latter was struck
a death blow Tuesday night by a
gentleman who resides in the
southern purlieus of the city
Tho cat had entered his residence
and refused to be dislodged
until its nine lives were sacrificed
by six bullets from a blunderbus
in the hands of the outraged
citizen. The loud report of "old
Betsy Ann" started a report that
a wild man was taking in the
third ward. 'Phone calls for the
police rang in every direction
and soon a squadron of mounted
blue coats swooped down on the
shootist. After explaining the
great provocation under which
he violated the ordinance against
discharging fire arms he was
admonished to be more careful
and forbearing in the future and
allowed to go free.
That County Fair.
In response to the call of Chief
Eversberg about a dozen mem
bers of the fire department met
at Giddings Hall Wednesday
night for the purpose of consider
ing the advisability of holding a
county fair here next fall.
On motion of Mr. T. A. Low
Chief Eversberg was called to
the chair and L."Z. Harrison was
elected secretary. The chief
stated the object of the meeting
and announced his readiness to
hear suggestions. J. G. Rankin
T. A. Low A. M. Krug and L.
Z-Harrison were favorably im
pressed with the idea of holding
the fair and believed such an ex
hibition if given during the early
part of November would be a sue
cess ; that it would be the means
of bringing together a large
crowd of exhibitors. But as none
of the citizens of Brenham out-
side of the fire department were
present it was deemed advisable
to adjourn the meeting until 4 :30
o'clock next Monday afternoon
at which time it is hoped there
will be a larger attendance.
Every citizen in the town is in
vited to be present next Monday
afternoon at Giddings Hall.
Come out and give us your ideas
on the subject. County fairs are
doing much good for other coun-
ties why not Washington?
GAY HILL BURGLARS.
They Loot the Depot and Invade the Resi-
dence of Theodore Wolf.
Two or more vandals believed
to be tramps broke into the Santa
Fe depot at Gay Hill Wednesday
night and helped themselves to
818 in cash an express package
containing a 84 pair of pants
and an express pouch.
After sacking the valuables
they entered the residence of
Theodore Wolf and made off with
a dressed chicken and a supply
of cold bread.
Mr. Wolf came to town early
Thursday morning after officers
and the county dogs.' The dogs
were not obtainable as they are
with the county convicts. Sheriff
Teague went up on the noon train
to investigate the matter. As-
sisted by parties there the sheriff
succeeded in tracing the thieves
about a mile from town and found
where they had cooked breakfast.
The express pouch was found at
this place. The direction taken
by the thieves after finishing
their morning meal could not be
determined and the sheriff thinks
their capture exceedingly doubt-
ful. .
A protracted meeting con-
ducted by Rev. J. T. Browning
and other ministerial assistance
will be begun at Union Grove
next Sunday week.
In a runaway at Prairie Hill
Thursday Mrs. Henry Wiese was
thrown out of a buggy. She was
severely bruised and it is feared
was internally injured.

Overcome by Heat.
Mr. Hearne Dunklin of Chap-
pell Hill spent Wednesday night
in the city and started home on
his bicycle early Thursday morn-
ing without waiting to dispose of
the formality of breakfast. When
Stone was reached Mr. Dunklin
became exhausted either from
over exertion or from some other
cause and fell off of his wheel by
the roadside in a fainting fit. He
was found soon afterwards by
Mr. Watson and carried to a shed
near by where after hard work
he was resuscitated but it re
quired several hours before he
was himself again.
