When the veteran members ol
Tom Green's Brigade Associa-
tion held their annual reunion in
Brenham February 21-22 of the
present year, Hempstead was
selected as the next meeting
place for the association and
February 21, 1901, was the tine
set for the annual coming to-
gether of the old soldier. Col. J.
G. Rankin, secretary of the
association, is just in receipt of
a letter, the contents of which
will set the officers of the asso-
ciation to work to find another
meeting place for the brigade.
Y The letter is as follows :
Col. J. G. Rankin, Brenham,
Texas, Dear Sir :
Hempstead, Texas, September
24th. I have been advised by
the members of Tom Green
Camp, number 136, notify you
owing to the circumstances, of
which you are doubtless aware,
we do not think it practical to
hold the reunion of Tom Green's
Brigade at this place. Many of
our people have bene left with-
out a house standing since the
great storm of September 8th.
But the greatest suffering will
come from crop losses. If we
had anything like a fair crop, we
could recover from other losses.
Your friend,
John B. Mills.
Col. Rankin will at once advise
with the officials of ttie associa-
tion, and the announcement of
another meeting place will be
made aa soon as possible. Weimer
wanted the meeting at the Bren-
ham gathering, and it may go
there.

ing at her old home in North
Carolina, arrived on the belated

She was joined at this place by
Mr. Carlisle and they went over-
land to Chappell Hill.

companied by Mrs. Dwyer and

publican convention at San An-

vention, but Mr. Hawley had a

only comment.
ROSH HASH AN A.
The Hebrew New Year—Something of Its
Customs and Significance.
Monday evening at sunset
closed the new year according to
the Hebrew calendar. Rosh
Hashana, which translated,
means the head or beginning of
the year, and which with the
Day of atonement, constitutes
two of the most important days
in the Jawiah calendar.
The Jewish year is a lunar
year of twelve months of twenty-
nine or thirty days each, hence
of 354 or 355 days seven times in
nineteen years, a thirteen month
of thirty days is added to bring
tho calendar up to the secular
era. Hence the Jewish new year,
falling on the first of the seventh
month, the month Tishri, in the
Jewish calendar, has no fixed
date in the secular calendar, and
will either fall in the month of
September or October, as the
Jewish year may have twelve or
thirteen months. The years con-
taining thirteen months are leap
years.
By tho Hebrews the day is
considered that on which God
holds judgment and it marks the
beginning of a season of repent-
ance and a renewal of faith. It
is also considered the anniver-
sary of the creation. Rosh
Hashana begins a season of re-
pentance and spiritual commun-
ion, somewhat similar to the
Lenton season in the Christain
calendar, except that it continues
but for ten days, culminating in
the "Sabbath of Sabbaths" or
Day of atonement, which day is
altogether spent in prayer, wor-
ship and abstinence from food.
There a number of traditions
that cluster around the Jewish
year, among others, that it is a
day upon which the Lord dis
poses of the fate that befalls all
men during the coming year, and
the success of any affair upon
the day is considered a good omen
for the entire year.
The places ol business of all
orthodox Hebrews were closed
all day Monday and the day was
devoted to home ties and divine
worship.
FELL FORTY FEET.
Jim Fortune Injured by an Accident at
Waterworks.
Jim Fortune, a colo/ed employe
at the city waterworks, took a
dizzy tumble Monday afternoon,
and is in the hands of a surgeon.
Fortune had beed hoisted to
the top of a jib pole, forty feet
high, by Messrs, Bettison and
Booker. In endeavoring to
arrange the rigging rope he lost
his balance and fell to the roof
of the water works, ooming down
partially on Mr. Booker before
the latter had time to get out of
the way.
Fort una had the muscles of his
left arm badly crushed, and sus
tained painful injuries about the
neck. The doctor says he will
oome around all right in a few
days.
Messrs. R. A. Lido, W. K.
Haynie, O. N. Cocke, W. H.
Crawford, S. E. Kitchen, Joe
Routt and John Carlisle, all of
Chappell Hill, were in the city
yesterday.

The Cotton Crop.
The Brenham correspondent of
the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat has the following concerning
the conditions of the Washington
county cotton crop:
Thejcotton crop of this section
was greatly retarded by the great
storm of September 8th, which
swept into oblivion so many
lives and unnumbered dollars in
property along the coast of the
Gulf of Mexico. However, the
beating away of the plant foliage
allowed the sun to reach the bolls
not destroyed and open them.
In this section farmers use 1000
pounds of seed ootten to make
500 pounds of lint. Farmers are
holding their cotton to a consid-
erable extent. Receipts are
3500, and it is estimated that
2000 bales that have been
gathered are still in the hands of
the farmers. Reoeipts this time
last year were 12000 bales.
Aotual results of the yield from
the same ground are not yet
obtainable for comparison with
crop of last year. Wagon re-
ceipts last year were upward of
40,000 bales. A decrease of 20
Mr cent is estimated this year,
which will give reoeipts of 32,000
bales. Stock in Brenham is only
342 bales. Compress receipts
are unusally heavy, indicating
better orop conditions in ooun-
ties tributary to this place.

Republican Nominee for Congress
Hon. T. H. Dwyer, census
supervisor for the Twelfth dis-
trict and republican nominee for
congress in the Ninth district, is
still in the hands of his friends in
the matter of accepting the honor
that has been thrust upon him.
A Banner reporter called on Mr.
Dwyer yesterday morning. That
gentleman was cordial in all
things and candid on every sub-
ject under the heavens cxcepl
his candidacy. On that subject
he was as still as the walks of
ancient night, silent as are tht
lamps that burn on tombs. "The
notification committee has not
yet called on me," said Mr.
Dwyer when the question of
whether of not he would accept
the nomination was squarely put
j to him. And then the republican
nominee branched off on his
schoolboys days at Bryan and
told how he and Albert Burleson
and othor men of note looted hen
roosts and sacked water melon
patches when they were attaches
at A, <5c M. The ringing of the
telephone diverted Mr. Dwyer's
attention, lie answered the
'phone, and the reporter over
heard his end of the conversa-
tion, as follows:
"Say, you never thought
when we went to eohool together
that in after years I would be
candidate for congress?"
And this is the nearest that
Mr. Dwyer came to admitting
that he was a candidate.

Mr. Fink's Experience,
Mr. L. Fink is a prominent
Hebrew merchant of Brenham
who went to Galveston last week
to look about for bargains among
the water damaged stocks of the
Island City. Before going Mr
Fink armed himself with some
credentials signed by the mayor
of Brenham. On reaching
Galveston Mr, Fink had not pro
gressed two blocks before he was
impressed into active service by
the militia. He argued, expostu-
lated, threatened, but it was no
use, and Mr. Fink had to go to
work removing debris from the
Island City streets. Finally he
succeeded in getting his creden-
tials before the proper authority,
and was released.
