Hetty hail the "Green."
Boston, Feb. 15. — Mrs. Hetty
Green, in an interview, declares that
she was the only one who had mon-
ey during the financial depression
and she says she had the real money,
none of the inflated currency which
others had. She says the rich of
New York were without money and
came to her in droves to borrow-
To some she lent while others were
refused. She says she received 6
per cent, while she could have had
40 per cent if she demanded it.
Mrs. Qreen claims she loaned the
New York Central and H. P. Whit*
ney, but refused the Vanderbilt
roads when they came to her. The
latter road, she says, it passing out
of the bands of the family as the
result of foreign marriages in the
family.
Heaven help the man who imag-
ines he can dodge enemies by trying
to please everybody ! If such an
individual ever succeeds pass him
over this way that we may have one
look at bis mortal remains ere he
vanishes away, for surely this earth
caunot be his abiding place. Now
we do not mean to infer that one
should be going through this world
trying to find beams to knock his
head against, disputing every man's
opinion, fighting and elbowing and
crowding ail who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme.
Other people have their opinions, so
have you. Don't fall into the error
of supposing they will respect you
more for turning your coat every
day to match the color of theirs.
Wear your own clothes in spite of
wind and weather, storms and sun-
shine. It costs the irresolute ten
times the trouble to wind and shuf-
fle and twist that it does honest,
manly independence to stand. — Mt.
Pleasant Review.
Judge Sam R. Henderson, a

COMING,
Wednesday and Thursday,
March 11 and 12th.
OUR Representative, MR, D. C. HALLY, will be in Brenham
Wednesday and Thursday of next week with a full line of
samples of merohandise that will be of interest to women. All
manner of wearing apparel, shoes drees goods, linens, fancy neck-
wear, hosiery, hankerohiefs and novelties. The very oream of the
new season's styles and at the most reasonable prices—suoh values
as are making this the most talked of and the fastest growing de-
partment store in TEXAS.
Mr. Hally will take orders from samples and the merohandise
will be shipped to you by express subject to return if not sa.isfao*
tory in every particular. Satisfaction is one of the certainties of
dealing with this big, fair and aquare store.
What We Mean by Satisfaction.
Our definition of the word is:—"Absolute oontentment of
ownership." If anything goes wrong we make it right, immediate-
ly, then and there, without question, quibble or controversy—with-
out argument. Our methods are liberal, open and above-board
modern, and practical. Mistrot-Munn Company is free of all pre-
tense or *ham. The publio is its friend, sharing its confidenbe and
profiting by its unusal facilities for underselling. Reliabe mer-
candise, greater values and efficient service constitute our idea of
satisfaction. That is our position, and if you feel that a concern
standing on such principles is worthy of your confidence, we shall
be very much pleased to have you call and see our Mr, Hally while
he is in your city. Announcement of his location will be made
later.

It is earnestly hoped that the
trouble at the A and M. College
may be speedily and satisfactorily
adjusted. The institute was doiug
a wonderful work in the way of
fitting young men for the active
duties of life, and this hitch in the
conduct of the school is certainly to
be regretted. A thorough investi-
gation of the whole matter seems to
bo the legitimate mode of settlement,
aud iu this examination let every
tub stand on its own bottom. If
Prof. Harrington is the stumbling
block in the controversy, remove
him.
Mr. J. H. Quebe, who has been
occupying the brick building at the
corner of St. Charles street and

prepared to attend to the wants of
hia customers as heretofore.
