Some of the farmers are com-
plaining that the weather has
been so unsettled that they could
not work, and that now it is too
late to plant anything but cotton.
If this be a fact, and nothing but
cotton is planted, we may look
for four oent cotton next fall,

Cartmel Lodge No. 39,1. O. 0.
F , and Brenham Lodge No. 10,
K. of P., have joined forces and

W. E. Calhoun Killed at Wallis,
Early last Tuesday morning
Mr. W. E. Calhoun, a brother-
in-law of the late Capt, Duno-
vant, was shot and killed on
board of an Aransas Pass pas-
senger oar at Wallis, in Aus-
tin oounty, by W. T. Eldridge,
the slayer of Capt. Dunovant.
The killing appears to be the out-
growth of a fued between El-
dridge and the surviving rela-
tives of Capt. Dunovant, and the
result of its termination is hard
to conjecture.
Gov. Lanham has and is mak
ing a fine governor, but when he
undertook to head off the raid of
the solons on the State treasury
by cutting out the possibility of
mileage, it must be confessed
that he made a failure. The
solons went home on free passes
and it is stated were gone a week,
while their pay of $5 a per day
continued. This paid them for
their loss of mileage, and all of
them, exoept one solon, aooepted
the reimbursement. Of oourse
they were legally entitled to the
money, but could they olaim it
from an ethical standpoint is the
question.—Denton Reoord.
Well, hardly. The State should
not be required to pay for ser
vioes not rendered. - The mileage
and per diem law is sadly in need
of amendment.
Judge J. D. Harvey is authori
ty for the statement that an
amicable settlement had been
reached regarding the recent
trouble in Hempsteod, which re
suited in the death of four of her
prominent citizens—old Confed
erate soldiers;- that both sides
had agreed to bury the hatch-
et; that the Brown side of the
controversy, with which he was
identified, had accepted the truoe
in good faith, and that should
any further trouble occur, they
would not be the aggressors.
Suoh a consummation is devout-
ly to be wished for, and the Ban*
ner hopes that each party to the
oontract will zealously comply
with the conditions imposed.
The Dalles Times Herald is of
opinion that a reciprocity treaty
with the Republio of Mexioa
would be worth millioos annually
to the producers of Texas. Tex-
ans want the trade of Mexico,
and every assistanoe possible
should be put forth to enable
them to obtain it.
taking seed from the ckib.
"I have heard of farmers who
are against following the practice
this year of taking seed corn out
of their corn cribs," said John
Cownie of the Iowa State board
of control to the Register and
Leader.
"Why they do it after all the
instruction they have had and
and the proof that it is folly to
do it, is a mystery. I have seen
it tested b scores of times, yes,
more than that. And it is
demonstrable that the corn taken
from the crib will not give as
good results as that selected at
the proper time.
"I saw a field last year in
which some of the corn looked
magnificent, while another patch
looked sickly. I asked the far-
mer why. He said that he had
oonoluded that the seed that he
had gathered in September and
had hung in his garret to dry
during the winter was not as good
as the great big ear in the orib.
So he selected the big ears which
looked perfeot and planted both
kinds of seed.
"He was surprised to find that
the seed from the crib produced
the weakling oorn; the seed be
had gathered in September pro-
duced the strong stand of corn.
It always is true. It has been
tiied over and over and it would
seem that some day the farmers
would learn the truth of the thing
that the seed gathered before the
cold can possibly affect it is the
seed which produces the best
grain.
"There is no difference between
life in the vegetable and the ani-
mal kingdom. If in stook breed-
ing, we select the perfect and the
strongest we produce the best; if
in vegetable propagation we se*
lect the poor seed, the product
must be poor."
The stands for the Firemen's
May Fest were sold at public out*
cry Tuesday afternoon, netting
the Department quite a neat sum.
One thousand extra policemen
are required to maintain order in
Chioago, as a result of the great
labor strike now on in that oity.
Brooks, Campbell, Jester and
Colquitt are all now full-fledged
candidates for governor two
years hence, with Jim Wells yet
to be heard from.
Potato flour is being extensive-
ly manufactured and used in
Austria. It is cheaper than wheat
flour, and makes beautiful white
and very light bread.
Whenever you see a fellow
hunting a swing and taking
things easy it's a sure sign his
ambition is played out. It's the
same thing with towns. When
the business interest rest upon
their oars the town is going to
be carried down stream. It is
either buildiag up or decaying.
Hunteville Poet.
Burial of a Giant Negress.
The remains of Aunt Deecie
Bailey, the heavy-weight negress
who died at her home in Taylor
last week, were buried in the
oolored cemetery. Her weight
was 385 pounds and she meas-
ured three feet and three inches
from shoulder to shoulder. Her
enormous weight and size neces-
sitated the construction of a
large oasket to accommodate the
remains. The casket in which
the remains were buried meas-
ured three feet and three inches
in width, two feet in depth and
six and one-half feet in length.
It was nearer the size of an
ordinary wagon bed than a
coffin. _
Just Like the Men.
An exohanee says, when a
man and his wife start to go any-
where he tells her to get out his
good suit, fix the buttons on hig
shirt, get his cuffs, good shoes,
tie his necktie, brush his hat,
perfume his handkerchief and a
few other little jobs, Then he
puts on his hat and says, "Great
Soot! Ain't you ready yet?"
