Let us have no more suburban
saloons to entice our boys into
wrong.
The saloons may not hurt you
but may hurt your neighbor. Be
x generous and manly and cast a vote
that will help; someone.
The saloon near town is not as
bad as nine saloons were in town
but it is nine times worse than no
saloon and should not be tolerated.

discusses. r -v

The farmer's boys are the one?
most affected by the suburban t-a
loon and the farmers should turn
out to a man and vote out these evi
influences.
If local ootion is voted in the
justice preqinct surrounding Brown
wood the saloon interests will be
forever wiped out of Brown county
The coming election is therefore an
important one.
During tho Jones-Stuart meeting
at Brownwood The Bulletin is
sued a sprightly little daily for
gratuitous distribution. It was a
o
wind hit and the reDorts of the
o
meeting were excellent. Coleman

Our esteemed contemporary The
Bulletin displays great enter-
prise in its publication of a daily
edition during the Jones-Stuart
meeting. The Bulletin's daily
edition lends interest to tho meot-
ing too by its able reviews of the
sermons by the facile pen of its ed-
itor. Banner.
Vote! Vote! Votel
On Saturday June 9th an elec
tion will be held to determine
whether or not intoxicating liquors
shall be Bold in Precinct No. 1
Brown county Texas except in
that part of the precinct now under
local option. Those whose rea
sentiments are that beer saloons
are good things that they help the
morality of our youth that they
are a blessing to our people tha
they want to see them prosper a
the expense of making drunkards
of their boys or their neighbor's
boys let them turn out and vote
themselves into this kind of part
nership. They do not need much
encouragement as they will do tha
anyway. But those who love their
homes their wives their children
who believe the saloons are a pub
lie evil who would guard the
youth against them who have at
heart the moral condition of our
young men rather than the advant
age of things leading to immorality
should take the time to turn out
and cast a vote for prohibition. The
only danger of defeat lies in inac
tion and if your inactivity causes
defeat you will be as much respon
sible as if you had cast a vote for
the saloons. Every Voter in pre
cinct No. 1 not in the present lo
cal option limits should cast a vote
on June 9th for the cause of local
option. The orders were all ( post
ed in due time and elections will
be"heldat Jones' Chapel Bicker
Cannon school house Mountain
View and Chapel Hill.
There is a liysly interest mani-
fested bv many members of the
Texas Press Associating in chang
ing the meeting from FoH Worth
to Dallas or Waco bcciuse'of the
Innk of interest manifested bv the
Panther city and of the dispositiW
of the hotels to make a picnic out
of the editors while there. The
"concessions" made by the hotels
are no concessions at all as they
want the editors to ''double up"
two in a bed and in view of an
agreement to do this and spend
several days with they will make
a reduction of 50 cents per day
from their regular rates. The edi
tors expect to pay their way when
they go but do not care to be vie
limized in this style by Fort Worth
hotel men and will doubtless move
to a town that Bhows more appre
ciation of a gathering of 300 or 400
representative newspaper men.

To the Democracy of the 26th Sen-
atorial district:
I hereby call a convention of the
democrats of the 26th Senatorial
district composed of the counties
of Erath Comanche Brown Mills

nels and Coleman countiesto meet
at Brownwood Texas on the 31st
day of July 1894 for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for sen-
ator for this district.

Because John H. Reagan would
not resign his position on the rail-
wav commission on tlie decision of
an ignorant district judge he has
been derided and abused by the
)apers that have all along attempt
ed to bring the commission law into
disrepute. The supreme court has
sustained the law and in doing mo
ms sustained Reagan in his refusal
o abandon an oflico on the unjust
leci8ion of an inferior court.

The Book Contest.-
The committee appointed to de-
cide as to the merits of the letters
published in our book contest was
composed of Mrs. Jno. W. Good-
win Mrs. F. W. Henderson and
Mrs..C. J. Tannehill. They spent
an entire half day in looking over
the letters and decided that the
one written by a child between
twelve and fourteen years of age
which deserved the premium as the
best was No. 36 which on compar-
ison with the coupon was found to
be written by Miss Ina Young of
Trinidad Colorado. The premium
for the best letter written by a
child under twelve years of agej
was awarded to Miss Yrma Cleve-
land of Brownwood for letter No.
17. Miss Bessie Williams of
Brownwood letter No. 43 sent a
letter without any mistakes what-
ever and. on the recommendation
of the committee will also be given
a book for the excellence of her
letter. We regret that all cannot
be given prizes but feel sure the
committee has rendered the best
decision possible and that all will
be satisfied and try to do better
next time. The Bulletin would
be glad to have letters from its lit-
tle friends all the time and may
have something to offer them
again soon.
Missionary Work.
Editor Bulletin Lastfalll as-
sisted J. D. Gearald in organizing
a Sunday school at Elm creek. I
saw him the other day aud he said
the school was .doing first rate.
There were but few that assisted
him at first but now the interest is
growing.
Mr. yGearald has charge of the
county poor farm. I don't think
it ycould have fallen in better
Wands. He is a kind-hearted
Christian gentleman.
I stopped for the night with ray
old friend D. D. Holder. He and
his good wife know how to make a
way-worn tjrayeler feel at home.
Last Saturday night I preached
at Clio.
Dr. Gibson is the same generous
hearted host that he was years ago
when I stayed all night with him.
There is sunshine in his home.
On Sunday morning I assisted
the good people in starting a Sun
day school at the alliance hall.
Mr. J. H. Busby was elected
superintendent.
We had an interesting Sunday
school meeting at Gap creek.
Mr3. M. A. Patterson was elected
superintendent. At night we had
a good congregation of well behaved
young people at the Elm creek
school house I enjoyed the day
and its opportunities.

The Piers Rejected.
The commissioners court went
down to investigate the big piers
just completed for the Colorado
river bridge last week and after
close inspection rejected the work
on "the pier on th Brown county
side us not complying with the
erms of the contract. The objec-
ion was that the foundation was
not laid on solid rock as called for
in the contract. The wisdom of
he court's action was shown in
the fact that the masonry was al
ready beginning to crack. This
will entail a loss of nearly $1000
on the contractor but it will in-
sure a bridge built- according to
specifications.
Among our exchanges of this
week we have enjoyed a grand
reat in tho way of a daily edition
of Thk Brownwood Bulletin. It
was one of Mr. Will II. Mayes';
characteristic enterprises and was
gotten out by Jbim especially on
account of tho Jones-Stuart meet
ing and given frco for the benefit
of his advertising patrons and the
edification of tho reading public.

and so faithfully served the Fort
Worth' & Rio Grande railway at
this place has resigned and been
succeeded by Mr. N. T. Willson

travelling freight and passenger

first-class man in Mr. Rea and
Brownwood will regretfully part

several weeks before engaging in
any other business. We wish Mr.
Willson well and hope he may
make as many friends for the road

done.

Closing Exercises.
The closing literary exercises of
Lake Charles college will be given
by the college literary society next
Monday night at 7 o'clock in the
new market hall and will be welL
worth attending.
It affords us much pleasure to
note the excellent progress made
by this favorite educational institu-
tion during the past year. This
advancement has been especially
marked since the advent of Prof.L.
F. Bickford who is an indefatiga
ble worker and possessing abilifor
of exceptionally high grade. n
fact since this wot thy gentleman
began his engagement the attend-
ance and general work of the col-
lege has increased fully fifty per
cent and his retention only is nec-
essary to ultimately bring the col-
lege lo a position in the front rank
of the best educational institutions
of the country. Our people should
demonstate their interest and ap-
preciation by their attendance on

themselves and the people with
stump-speaking.
