Cold. We have been struck
by a regular Polar wave
direct from the north pole.
Christmas day was exceedingly
cold and disagieeable and on
Thursday morning everything
was froze hard The mercury
indicated 280.
Hog Killing. The weather
for the past few days has been
very favorable for slaughtering
hogs. Salt has been very scarce
there being but little in town.
One of our merchants who re-
ceived a car load the other day
sold it out in very short order.
It Didn't Work. On Christ-
mas day a number of gay and
festive cusses concocted a
scchme by which they hoped
to- entrap the mayor and city
marshal and land them in the
bastile. These officials got
wink of tlie plan and hid the
keys of the institution.
Accident. On Saturday last
as Col. Tom Day colored was
in the act of removing his trus-
ty revolver from the mantle-
shelf it slipped from his
iron grasp and falling on to the
floor "went off" the ball inflict-
ing a flesh wound in the colo
nel's ankle.
Leg Broke. On Monday
morning Mr. Jno. T. J. O'Rior-
dan went out in the Berlin
neighborhood with a four-horse
wagon for corn. When near
Berlin the team run away turn-
ing topsy-turvey throwing Mr.
O'Riordan out and fracturing
or breaking his thigh.
On Monday every street in
the "business part-of town was
literally crowded with wagons
horses and other v ehicles. The
thoroughfares looked as though
by common consent every body
had come to town. A very
large quantity of cotton was
also brought in; the market is
brisk at an advance of 1-8 over
Saturdays prices. All the stores
had a big trade.
Street Auctions. We be-
lieve there is a city ordinance
forbidding the selling of goods
at auction upon the streets if
so we ask that it be enforced
against a certain individual on
StCharles street who has proven
himself a .perfect nuisance by
his pitiful appeals for customers
for his worthless trash. Down
on these street auctions; let
them secure a stand and do
business in doors.
Big Turnip. Capt. J. "M.
Williams has sent the Banner a
monster turnip it weighs 8 1-2
pounds and measures 27 inches
in circumference. Capt W.
says the turnip was raised on
his plantation near Independ-
ence by Col. Tom. Sanders
who is eighly years of age. In
the patch there are many more
turnips nearly as larga. Capt.
W. says: "I consider an acre
in turnips worth more than any
two acres in anything else that
can be grown for stock."
On Tuesday we had a very
brisk norther; nothwithstanding
the disagreeableness of the
weather a very large crowd of
people were in town making
final preparations for Christmas.
The numerous stores were
crowded with customers and
the apple and candy stands
reaped a rich harvest. The
lungs of the auctioneers were
in fine working order and they
too "scooped up" many loose
quarters. Saloonists disposed
of large quantities of bug juice
and many negroes were happy.
It was a lucky tiling that the
saloon-keepers eiosed " their
places at an early hour on
Christmas day. By ten o'clock
anumbcj of men playing steam
boat soon succeeded in loading
themselves down to the guards;
had the supply of bug juice not
been cutoff there would have
been many of them sunk. As it
was a veryjarge amount of lung
power was expended to very
little purpose. The body of the
song and the chorus was
"Whoop-ee Whoee and Hur-
rah." It is perhaps needless to
say that this particular kind of
chin music is not popular.
FATAIi AFFRAY.
Thomas It. Power of ladcn-
dones Killed.
About noon on Monday a
difficulty occurred at Wilkins'
warehouse between Thomas R.
Power and Fred Williams a
tenant on Power's plantation.
Williams brought in two bales
of cotton raised on Power's
place and took them to Wilk-
ins' warehouse; pending the
making out of the receipts.
Power stepped in and demand-
ed that the receipts be made
out in his name; to this Wil-
liams demurred and an alterca
tion ensued between them in
which several blows w ere pass
ed when Mr. James A. Wilkins
came in and separated them.
Chas. Hawkins being present
interferred calling Power a liar
whereupon Power knocked him
down with his first; Power and
Hawkins were separated and
stepped out on the platfarm op-
posite the Peabody house; ar-
riving on the platform Hawk
ins drew an ordinary horn-handled
pocket knife with a blade
about four inches long and stab-
bed Power in the left side just
below the nipple penetrating
the cavity. Power then threw
Hawkins down and jumped on
him when he was taken off by
Mr. Wilkins and others who
led Power into the warehouse.
As soon as Power was inside he
said "the rascal has cut me "with
his knife;" at this he commenc-
ed growing pale and faint and
sinking to the floor expired at
once. During- the excitement
Hawkins walked up the street
and mounting his horse left
town. Several parties have
started in pursuit. The foregoing-facts
were elicited at the
coroners inquest which was
held soon after the occurrence.
Mr. Power was a well-to-do
farmer and was a peaceable
quiet man highly respected by
his neighbors.
Death on the Rail. Alfred
Hahn a middle-aged English-
man who was employed at
Rosedale Nurseries was run
over and killed on the high
trustle works "accross Hog
branch about three-quarters of a
mile east of the depot by the
up mail train on Friday at noon.
It appears that Hahn had been
to town and as was his custom
got drunk and started home
he proceeded as far as the
bridge and being too drunk to
walk attempted to "coon it"
over the trestle. Several per-
sons assert that the man had
two companions ten or fifteen
minutes before the train came
along and failing to get him
across the bridge left him to
his fate. The engineer reports
that as his train was coming
down the steep grade just east
of the bridge he saw what he
supposed was an old coat on
the trestle and could not have
stopped the train had he been
so disposed. The deceased left
a family in England and a draft
for 4. 1 os in favor of his wife
was fouud on his person.
Christmas. On Ghristmas
eve the scholars of the Metho-
dist church Sunday school had
a fine Christmas tree at the
Opera House.
On Christmas day them embers
of the Christian church gave a
fine dinner to the children of
their Sunday school. There
was an abundance of good
thing.
The members of the German
Methodist church had a fine
Christmas tree at their church
on Christmas day. It was rich-
ly laden with fruit and. bore a
present for every scholar.
Mayor's Court. Steam was
raised on Thursday morning
and one or two unfortunate cus-
ses were put through. It being
Christmas times we have con-
cluded to omit all the names
giving them a chance to "reso-
lute and reform." We hereby
give all hands due notice that
beginning on the first of the
New Year every fellow who
goes through the the mayor's
mill and pays toll w :!! be enti-
tled to a free notice. If they
d'shks publicity hey can avoid
it by singly behaving them-
selves. This is fair warning.

GRANGE MEETING.
Tho Cotton Weight Question
Siscnssod
A mass meeting of the far-
mers of Washington and Aus-
tin counties in connection with
the Pomona Grange was held
on Saturday afternoon at the
Opera House. The question in
regard to the differences be-
tween the warehousemen and
the cotton buyers of Brenham
was freely discussed.
It was suggested that an um-
pire be appointed who should
settle all matters of dispute in
regard to weights.
Capt Williams bitterly op
posed this arrangement stating
that estimating the crop at 30-
000 bales at 25 cents each
would amount to $7500 to come
out of the farmers pockets
the buyers losing nothing as
they would make it up in the
price paid for cotton; all this to
satisfy the whims of the buyers;
the farmers desired nothing but
honest weights and had selected
Mr. James A. Wilkins as their
warehousemen in whose honesty
and integrity they had every
confiidence and if buyers were
unwilling to accept Mr. Wilkins'
weights he so far as he was
personally concerned favored
shipping his own cotton to Gal-
veston or other markets in pre-
ference to submitting to the
dictations of the buyers. He be-
lieved that the buyer's so far as
he knew.were honest men but if
there were any dishonest buy-
ers in town he favored driving
them out of business by refus-
ing to sell to them but was wil-
ling to uphold honest weighers
and buyers believing them to
be an advantage to the city as
well as the producer. He clos-
ed by suggesting that a commit-
tee be appointed to investigate
this matter and report at next
meeting.
Capt J. E. Grey said that the
proposition to appoint umpires
did not suit his ideas of busi-
ness; did not feel disposed to
create more positions for more
middle men; it was only a dodge
to deceive the farmer; believed
Mr. Wilkins an honest con-
scientibus man and was willing
to taice his weights; was unwil-
ling to accede to any proposi-
tion which would not secure to
the farmer the full weight and
value of his cotton; thought the
demand for an umpire unjust
dishonest and tyranical and
therefore opposed it; was in fa-
vor of a committee of investi-
gation. Dr. Morris opposed the com-
mittee stating that the facts
and propositions of the buyers
were before them and believed
that immediate action should be
taken ; the question was on tare
the matter of judgment was
the only trouble; the remedy
was the chief thing desired. He
stated that the buyers here were
controlled to a considerable ex-
tent by the demands of the
spinners and did not think it
laid in the power of this "grange
to combine against the demands
of the consumers; thought the
planters dependent to a very
considerable extent upon the
buyers and favored a satisfacto-
ty adjustment of the matter
which could only be arrived at
by guaranteeing weights.
Mr. Veazy in a lew well
timed remarks favored the ap-
pointment of a committee of
investigation.
Col. Lawther opposed the
further taxingjof farmers for the
handling of cotton; believed
Wilkins throughly honest; fav-
ored the establishment of a
grange warehouse where farm-
ers cotton could be stored and
such advances made as might
be necessary and buyers be
invited here. He opposed the
appointment of umpires.
Mr. L. A. Morris opposed any
compromise with the buyers
composing this combination
but but favored the selling to
merchants and other buyers
who would take the cotton at
warehouse weights and pay bet-
ter prices for it.
The chairman appointed the
following named gentlemen on
the committee of investigation
to report at a mass meeting of
the farmers to be held at the
same place on Friday next: J.
E. Grey L. A. Morriss and O.
H. P. Garrett to which com-
mittee J. W. Wallace and Sam
Stone were added.

Military Ball.
On Monday evening the Bren-
ham Greys gave their grand
military ball at the Opera House.
The weather during the after-
noon and evening was very bad
there being a drizzling rain
making it very disagreeable out
doors; as a consequence the atten
dance of ladies was not as lagre
it would have been under more
favorable circumstances. By
nine o'clock the Opera House
was comfortably full among the
assemblage were a number of
the Johnston Guards of Hemp-
uniform which con-
lue dress coat and

bottons pre-
dsome and

of the inclement weather but few

up. Excellent music was fur-
nished by Prof. Voss' band and
dancing was kept up until 3 o'
clock in the morning. The
Johnston Guards took the 4
o'clock train for home highly
delighted with the evenings en-
tertainment. Taken altogether
the Greys have every reason to
congratulate themselves upon
the success of their ball.

is nothing to boast of; he want;

of our neighbors disliking the
Complexion of the politics in
this" community are selling out

Ab Dawson. January had a
six-shooter in his hand and with
it hit Ab a heavy blow on the
head; about this time Lee Daw-
san a brotlier of Ab's took a
hand and stepping up behind
January placed the muzzle of n
six-shooter close to his head
and pulling the trigger let him
have the contents of one barrel;
this put a summary end to Jan-
uary's existence as he was in-
stantly killed. Lee Dawson es-
caped. All three of the ne-
groes were very bad men and
warrants for their an est for dis-
turbing public worship had been
out for some time; they had
just returned to the neighbor
hood to have a little Christmas
frolic The deceased was a
very desperate character and
had for a long time been a ter-
ror in the vicinity. He it was
who created such a disturbance
out in the post oaks last spring
and who gave the officers so
much trouble in arresting him..
Not a tear was shed at his un-
timely taking-off on the con-
trary his death is regarded as a
good thing.
Dan Ferguson a brother of
January was shot in the thigh
by Ab Dawson immediately
after he was knocked down by
January. Justice McCIung of
this city went out and held an
inquest on the dead negro.
The jury returned a verdict that
deceased came to his death
from a pistol shot wound inflict-
ed by a pistol in the hands of
Lee Dawson.
