Watermelons are gettings ripe,
which leads the Courier to make aq
offer of two yearly suoscriptions to
the perfou » bringing the largest
melon to that office. We surmise
this is a “scheme” of the Courier to
get a lot of free watermelons. Bnt,
still, there is an inducement about
the thing. ; ./
Some belligerent individual
made the stilly echos >of the night
resound with music (to his ears)
of the,deadly and forbidden six-
shooter, last night This thing is
gettingto.be practiced too much in
Shiner and sooner the lines are
checked the better. But yet those
who seem to kick against it the
most are usnally the oppressors.
The young men of Shiner have
instituted a boycott in our
town and the young ladies
are the victims. The cause of
theee proceedings is this:
The girls are artful, deceptive
and full of trickery, and the inno-
cent (?) young man is often led in-
to a snare. The secret of this fol-
lows that Mr. A. writes Miss Z. a
note, requesting company, a call,
etc., and Miss Z. replies in the af-
firmative. All OK you know !
Well, the aforesaid young gent,
with his heart full of rapture, his
thoughts of divine nature* his
whole frame elated over the
thoughts of coming pleasure, makes
his call and finds the young lady
unprepared for company. She has
an excuse, seemingly reasonable
to the young man, but to his sur-
prise he afterwards learns that it
is all a put up job. The truth is
this: tu© Shiner girl is tired of
the boys, but has not the “man”li-
ness to refuse his company honest-
ly and with outspoken convictions.
She resorts to stratagem and de-
ception to excuse herself, and the
boys (not to have wool pulled over
their eyes—they ain’t built that
way, girls) have found this out,
and as a consequence the Shiner
maiden is left in the soup. They
are the ones concerned in the
“boy”cott and to their horror they
have found it out The boys have
already “opened bids” for corres-
pondence or communication with
young ladies out of town. (See
Houston Post’s personal column
of Sunday date.) ..
Pr. Smith is having hrs residence
repainted and otherwise renovated.
A $45 saddle was raffled off at
the Aransas Pass saloon Saturday
afternoon. W. D. Wofford was the
lucky winner. ‘V
* t
He. has just dug twenty
five bushels of-Irish potatoes, and
his garden and grapevines are evi-
dences of thrift and industry.
Thanks to the Oakland corres-
pondent to the Colorado Citizen
for compliments.
Mr. J. W. Carson was unfortu-
nate in having two of his fine colts
to die. •
Mfs. J. W. Harrison received
the sad news Tuesday of the death
of her brother, Mancil Coffee. ’ Mr.
Coffee was an old resident of this
county aDd held the office of tax
assessor for a number of years.
The letter bearing the sad news
states that he was thrown from his
horse June 6th, and after suffering
for nine days died. He was buried
witn Masonic honors at Throck-
morton. yhis is the third brother
of Mrs. Harrison that has been
killed by horses.
There ain’t no row being made
about it and we don’t want to start
any, but there is an old man in
this vicinity who is about fifty-two
years old that has as nice a crop of
cotton and corn as the county can
afford, about fifteen acres of each,
and he has not hired a day’s work
done on it. Beat it if you can.
The Neuhaus Brothers loaned
tbe young folks lumber to make a
dancing pavilion at the barbecue,
and they shouldn’t forget that he
has a fine stock' of shoes that they
should examine.
Miss Josie Fowlkes is visiting
her siste*, Mrs. Turner, of Yoakum.
Miss Lottie Nichols, one of La-
vaca’s charming daughters, is cap-
tivating the Oakland swains this
week.
Miss Ollie Adams is visiting Mr.
S. Woolsey’s family of Oakland.
Master John Lawrence, who has
been attending school at San Mar-
cos, has returned. John is just as
good-looking as ever.
The Andrew’s Chapel Literary
society met at the residence of Mr.
Adams last Saturday evening. The
attendance and the programme was
good. Five new members were re-
ceived. The next meeting will be
held at the Chapel, Wednesday
night, June 17.
Miss Ella Simpson returned last
Saturday from Georgetown, where
she has been attending the univer-
sity for four years, and has grad-
uated with high honors in music
and stands high in all her classes.
Miss Ella is a young lady that this
community is justly proud of.
Bv request we send the follow-
ing for the colored readers:
man ? The toad to decision is the
pocketbook route.
Mrs. F. E. B. Stokker and little
girl fr»m Halletsville came in On

was in town this week.
The baby boy of Mr. VV. H.
Moore has been seriously ill ror
the ^ast week, but is imprbviaag.
Jnoi Harrison and wife were
away visiting Hope ope day last
week.
Casper evidently has been feast-
ing on the fiery constituents of
Sheol, judging trom the briuretone
blue he dumped on the head of un-
offending Parvenu in last week’s
edition. As Major Joseph Jones
of Pineville, Georgia, remarked
about the first glass of pure soda
water he drank, which came near
taking.his nbse out by its roots,
Casper is “worse nor six gallons of
injun turnip juice stewed down to
a pint, cooled off in a snow bank
and mixed with a harrycane.”
Among those to arrive home this
week was Mr. Ike West. ‘During
his absence he sold a bunch of
steers raised m the pasture of Geo.
West in Live Oak county for $42
per head. Tpis is the largest price
that has been paid for grass fed
beeves in Texas this year.
Mrs. Wm. McMurray is absent'
at Floresville, and expects to be
