SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Superintendent Tarrant Re-elected—Reso-
lutions Adopted.
The regular monthly meeting
of the city school board was held
Wednesday evening in the rooms
of the First National Bank. A
full attendance of members was
present.
Prof. E. W. Tarrant was re-
elected superintendent of the city
schools for the ensuing year with-
out a dissenting vote. The elec-
tion of the balance of the teach-
ers will take place at the June
meeting of the board.
The early action in the selec-
tion of the superintendent was
done at his request,' as ho con-
templates spending the summer
away from Brenham and was
anxious to have the matter defi-
nitely settled before leaving.
The following resolution was
adopted, and will be presented to
the next session of the city coun-
cil by Major Abo Harrison and
Mr. Frank Dobort:
Whereas, The attendance upon
the public schools of the city of
Brenham has so increased during
the past several years as to ren-
der the present building and ac-
commodations entirely inade-
quate, therefore be it
Resolved, By the board of
trustees of the public school, that
it shall hereafter bo the policy of
this board to operate the school
upon the ward system as sub-
serving not only the convenience
of the people, but tending at the
same time to greater efficiency.
Resolved, 2nd, That the city
council be most respectfully
urged to secure lots in both first
and second wards upon which to
erect suitable buildings for the
ward schools, to the end that the
Central school building may
eventually be set apart and used
exclusively for the grammar
grades and high school.

Tennessee Centennial.
The Texas Board of Tennessee
Centennial Commissioners of
which Mr. W. W. Dexter is gen-
eral manager and Mr. C. II.
Lebold secretary have conceived
and adopted the plan of making
"Pen Exhibit" of the whole state
for distribution as a Souvenir
Edition or write-up of Texas. In
this publication they would have
every city, town and hamlet of
the state represented by a locally
prepared write-up to occupy such
space, as a contribution raised
by its people for that purpose
would, at a uniform rate, com-
mand. By this plan, each com-
munity would have in special ad-
vertisement of advantages, etc.,
value received for the contribu-
tions so made, and thus bring
into companionship the stranger
elements of profit and patriotism.
A circular letter will be issued,
and sent out to each and every
Postoffice in the State, which will
set forth the plan in all its parti-
culars. But do not wait for this.
Appoint your committees, and let
no Community in the Stato be
backward in raising funds for
this purpose. By this plan, you,
yourselves become publishers,
and the cause in which our Board
is working, will receive pub-
lisher's profits. If your business
men can not find time to do this,
let your over ready and willing
ladies take the matter in hand
and let all respond.
Let "For Texas" be your
motto, and obey the dictates of
that principle of pride which im-
pels every Texan to speak out
and act for his home and coun-
try.

tennial Commissioners.

Give Them Time to Practice.
Elsewhere in this issue Cap-
tain Bon Schmid culls a meeting
of the Brenham Field Artillery
for Friday night. The object of
the meeting is understood to be
the devising of plans and the
making of preparations for at-
tending the Interstate Encamp-
ment at San Antonio on the
seventeenth of July. A practice
drill will bo held next Thursday
and Friday, June 3rd and 4th, at
La Bahia Prairie in the vicinity
of Zionsville.
The Banner would suggest
that all business men having
members of the Artillery com-
pany in their employ allow them
theso two days off in which to
prepare for the encampment.
Business in all lines is not rush-
ing at present, and the time re-
quired for the practice drill will
be well spent. It is rarely that
Brenham ever engages in any
variety of competitive exercise
without aehiovingjdistinction, and
walking off with her full share
of honors. Tho Interstate En*
campment at tho Alamo city must
not prove an exception. Prac-
tice is the magic word that wins
in military as in all other tactics.
The Artillery company must have
practice to win, and must have
time to practice.
a Foor race.
Four Fishermen.
Down among the sylvan soli-
tudes of Mill creek a quartette of
Brenham fishermen have erected
a modest tent habitation and pro-
pose to spend a week imitating
the pursuits and pastimes of
primitive mankind, depending on
the lisping waters of tho crystal
creek for food and drink. Tho
latter statement, however, im-
plies a change of diet in case of
snakebite, or such other alter-
native as will render the ex-
clusive drinking of branch water
dangerous to health or detri-
mental to happiness. The four
congenial and convivial spirits
who arc cultivating mother nature
in her native wilds arc C. G.
Botts, Hugh Rial, Ed Perry
Garrett and Bernie Dunlap.
The Square Used as a Race Track by
Two Citizens Wednesday Morning.
Murder, murder, murder!
The despairing cry of one
perishing with mortal agony
mingled with awful dread rang
through the city. The welkin
rang as it had never rang before.
Whence came that wailing ncte
of woe, and why? Surely no
ordinary terror, grief or pain
could produco such oral anguish.
The man who took the initiative
in being sandwiched between the
devil and tho deep blue sea could
not have emphasized his accents
with more piteous pathos, more
sublime despair. The wail of a
lost soul who sees through the
pearly gates of paradise a
resplendent scene of ineffable
glory burst before his enraptured
vision for an instant and then
disappear forever could not
possibly bo more dismal. The
anguishing accents of the
"original McKinley man" who
has wandered back from the
wily ways of Washington without
attaining the office, for discharg-
ing the duties of which he was
peculiarly endowed by nature, is
as sweet as singing birds in
springtime compared with the
discordant, wail of which we
write.
Again that wail, as of linked
sadness long drawn out, pierced
the circumambient atmosphere,
awoko tho echoes of the sur-
rounding hills, boomed across
streets and thoroughfares until it
seemed the sweet milk of concord
had, in the language of Macbeth,
been poured into hell. The
trees that fringe tho court square
shrunk aghast and withered rocks
burrowed in the ground like
rabbits, and the sparrow^ that
inhabit the dome of the county
capital flew down in flocks to
investigate tho causo of so
unusual a commotion.
Tho busy marts of trade in
other portions of tho city were
deserted by tho mechanics, the
artisans and tho balance of the
laboring population. Employers
and employes joined in an indis-
criminate and headlong rush for
the scene of what seemed certain
death, carnago and destruction.
Two men were seen crossing
j the street apparently engaged in
running a foot race. The race
seemed to bo entirely to the swift
in this case to judge by the dis-
tance that tho foremost man was
working in the lead. Like a deer
closely pursued by dogs the
"leading citizen" bounded
through the gate, scaled the stone
steps of the temple of justice at a
single bound, and emerged on
th" other side of the building with
tho speed of a magniscope film
running forty-two pictures to the
second. His pursurer skipped a
cog in attempting to take the en-
tiro tier of steps atone bound, and
fell heavily to the ground. From
the effects of this handicap he
never recovered, and the race
was forfeited to his adversary.
The averago roader may de-
mand an explanation of the fore-
going article, and we regret to
disappoint him. The entries in
tho foot race were a prominent
eonfectionist and v. repairer [<>f
umbrellas; but as to whother or
not they "had any words before
they fell out" the Batnkr can't
say for sure.

Dollar Excursion.
Tho Santa Fe will run the
second of their popular dollar
excursions to Galveston next
Sunday. The special will. leave
Brenham at 7 o'clock in the
morning. The leaving time from
Galveston has not yet been an-
nounced. A big crowd is ex-
pected to go from this place. If
enough go to justify the outlay
the company will furnish a
special train for tho exclusive
accommodation of Brenham pas-
sengers. Otherwiso they will be
accommodated on tho Cameron
special.

The Crop Outlook.
Tho Texas crop prospects are
declared on all sides to he as
promising as they ever were in
tho history of the state. There
is a very general and well found-
ed belief that Texas will produce
this year the largest and best
qualified crops ever known to the
state. The yield of cotton will be
enormous, and the price will most
likely be maintained as tho ex-
cess of supply here will meet, or
bo offset by a corresponding re-
duction in the overflowed dis-
tricts of the Mississippi Valley.
The wheat crop will produce a
considerable surplus and tho
price now ruling is a most re-
munerative one. The oat crop
will also be above the average.
The grasses for the live stock
should fatten the herds to su-
preme condition. The orchards
promise prolific yield, while <he
garden crops are all doing well.
And there is no reason why the
Texas corr. harvest should not be
so heavy an to permit of paying
sales to other states after a re-
serve of enough to furnish all our
people every bushel for their
consumption.
Thus, we truly have abundant
cause for rejoicing over the out-
look for the state at large.
