Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
Cai.iformia Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the valueof obtaining'the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting1
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
manently. its pe
every objectionable quality and sub-
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fi
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualitiesof the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fie Sybup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please

Not Afraid of ths BoU Weevil.
J. M. Harry, an industrious
farmer who lives three miles west
of Brenham, was here Saturday
and paid the Banner office a
pleasant call. He reports most
of the farmers in his section of
the oounty very busy in their
fields and says that if the weath
er continues favorable a number
of them Will begin planting corn
htf first week in next fftontb.
SpealdtfJ of the boll weevil and
;he likelihood! of the farmers of
;he county suffering from its rav-
ages this year, Mr. Harry said he
had no fears of it; that he was
going ahead and plant and culti-
vate his crop, believing that thus
by doing his part nature would do
the rest and he would reap a suf-
ficient harvest. He said that last
year was the first time in almost
an age that the farmers of Wash-
ington county had suffered any-
thing like a complete failure, and
even last year many of them on
the uplands had made fair crops.
He asserted his intention of stay-
ing where he now is and farming
the balance of Ids days, saying
that the man who worked his
land Tight could always make a
living in this county. "Every
section has its drawbacks and
occasional reverses," said he,
"but I believe old Washington
county has as few of them as any
other portion of this or any other
state." And he is right. With
all of her fanners and other citi-
zens working and talking like
Mr. Harry, in another year old
Washington oounty won't know
she ever had a flood and storm,
and the boll weevil.
IK OLDEN TIMES.
People overlooked the import'
ance of permanently beneficial
effects and were satisfied with
transient aotion; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of
Figs will permanently overoome
habitual constipation, well-in-
formed people will not buy other
laxatives, which aet for a time,
but finally injure the systam,

Liit Season's Cospicuous Success-
Hennessy Reroyle, who has
achieved great fame in the up
to-date comedy, "Other People's
Money," will appear at the Granc
opera house in Brenham next
Thursday, Jan. 30, aqpported by
a company of remarkable
strength. The story is mos1
laughable, acquainting us with a
clerk who elopes with his million
aire employer's daughter, who
the parents desire to have wed
ded to another—a rich but ex-
ceedingly distasteful old hog
dealer. The plan of the elope
ment is carried out at the insti-
gation of the girl's father, who
fails to discover that his own
daughter is to be the heroine of
the romance until all is over.
As an inoident to the main
story of the play is a sub-plot or
counter-plot, which cleverly
shows how the conoeit may be
extracted from a man who thinks
be is morejthan a match for all
comers. Hutchinson Hopper,
following his motto that "there
is nothing so good as money, and
no money so good as other peo-
people's," has designs upon
fortune, which, as he imagines,
belongs to a young girl. To aid
in his bright soheme he engages
in a desperate flirtation. The
delightful and captivating little
minx allows the . financial giant
to think that as a resistless lady
killer he is making great prog-
ress, until, in a ludicrous climax,
she contrives for him a rude
awakening, and teaches him that
two can play at the same game,
and that "Other People's Money"
is somstimes a dangerous stake.
In the company supporting Mr.
Leroyle is Miss May Sargent,
whose olever impersonation of
Tielka Nan Sittart, the scheming
coquette, is pleasantly remem-
bered from last season.
ftwteiftf A Premium of |ao id Gold.
H. Beauohamp, Brenham's
well known night watchman, re-
ceived a letter from the manu-
facturers of "Old Glory" and
"War Eagle" oheroots a day or
two ago, stating that the number
of premium coupons sent them
during the year 1900 entitled him
to a premium of $20 in gold, and
that same had bsen expressed to
him. ! -r-

County Attorney W. P. Ew-
ing returned Saturday morning
from a trip through several east
Texas counties. He says the
woods in that part of the state
are full of oil prospeotors. They
have their headquarters in near-
ly every little town and all dur-
ing the day they can be seen go-
ing and coming into and out of

veying off olaims and prospect-
ing for oil finds.
