D. Cleveland, of Houston. Sir. Cleveland has been in business in Houston for some years and by his liberal dealing' has made hosts Of friends, His stock of groceries is large and complete and his prices are such as to compete with any market in hc South. He also pays special attention to handling cotton and it is claimed that Houston offers a superior market on account of the low charges.

Wc can confidently recommend Mr. Cleveland to such of our readers as may wish to ship their cotton or buy groceries. H.prY Again. The city marshal was happy on Saturday. He caught a simon pure tramp.

A white man pretending to be lame has for several days been prowling around the southern portion of town calling at dwelling during the absence of the men folks and insolently demanding food. The marshal has been on his track but unable to come upon him until Saturday, when he was captured and incarcerated in the bastile along with the fleas. He will be allowed to cut down weeds or take a walk, whichever he may elect Big Snake. On Sunday af ternoon Mr. T.

B. SIcGowen discovered and killed a prairie rettlcsnake a short distance south of the residence of Sir. F. Engclke. His rtakeship measured 5 feet 3 inches in length and about 8 or 9 inches in circumfcrance.

He had three rattles and a button, consequently was four years old. Just what business the snakes had in town is unknown. Two other large rattlesnakes, one 6 1-2 feet long, were also killed by other parties in the same neighborhood the same afternoon. Initiated. youg man from Prussia, who has only been in the country about five months.was taken out on Friday night and carefully placed in position with bag and lantern while his friends went away to drive up the snipe.

He got to town about 1 1 o'clock bringing the lantern and bag with him. He is now duly initiated in the grand army of unsuccessful snipists. Some Cucumber. Mr. W.

W. Davis, living two miles north of town, taiscd this year a cucumber six feet in length and ten inches in circumference. It grew in the shape of a coil. The flavor is good, and the cucumber makes an excellent pickle. There were eight of these cucumbers to one vine, all of which dropped off" except two, which fully matured.

Fine Cane- Rev. Mr. Johnson, of Davidson creek, Burleson county, presented the Banner with a stalk of Florida bourbon cane a new variety that was at least two inches in diameter. Mr. Johnson expects to make 10 barrels of syrup to the acre.

I Ie has two acres. I le also has genuine Indian peaches and is successfully raising apples. KilCcd 'Em. A young farmer, who lives on Iabadic prairie, was engaged in his field hauling hay to his stack-yard on the way he encountered a bumble bees' nest; the bees made it lively for him and his horses. 1 le concluded to exterminate the bees by burning them out.

With this object in view, he set the grass on fire, before he could succed in extinguishing it, about a ton of very excellent hay was in ashes; buthe killed the bees. DISTRICT COURT. Criminal Docket. Friday Joe Roberson. white.

At the term just closed there was but four convictions, viz Jones for murder, Simpson, Kcczce and Upshaw. An assault with intent to kill was reduced to a simple assault and the defendant fined $1. There was three mistrials in felony cases and several acquittals. Several prisoners arc still in jail not having been tried at all at this term. The criminal term taken altogether may be put down as a failure.

The expense incurred is about i 300. Although the county attorney had ample time to get ready for trial in several cases he was uot ready. The three mistrials do not speak volumes in his praise. It is said on the outside that "crooked" juiors caused one mistrial if not more. The Hatchet.

On Slon-day night about 9 o'clock, a negro woman who was on her way home, was attacked by another negro woman, who was lying in wait forjicr at the gate to Mr. Thomas Dwyer's stable lot on Sandy street The ambushed woman was ami cd with a little "hatchet and struck the other a very severe blow on the head cutting a huge gash in the scalp and, it is said, fracturing the skull. Afterthc blow-was delivered the woman discovered she had struck the wrong party and because of the mistake hit her another lick for being the wrong person. The woman who did the carpenter work escaped and has thus far eluded arrest Cause jealously. As Usual.

On Wednesday night a colored female, "whose character is as far from that of Caesar's wife as the antipodes are apart, went to the mayor's residence, and swearing out a warrant, had William Price, a gentleman, arrested for some imaginary crime. Price, spent the remainder of the night with llic fleas in the bastile. The mayor's court was opened with all the pomp and circumstance usual on such occasions. Price, was brought into the presence of the mayor, but the complainant being duly called, made default and failed to appear. Price was admonished to depart without day, and the officers mourned the loss of prospective trimmings.

Gone. The other day the arrest of a tramp and the happiness of the town marshal were duly made matters of history by being chronicled in these columns. The tramp was lame when arrested two days rest in the bastile a systematic course of diet, furnished by the marshal, and a free blood-letting to fleas and mosquitoes had an invigorating effect on ye tramp. 1 le was released and took the track for Austin. 1 lis lameness was left in the bastile.

Another tramp passed through the town the marshal heard of him, but couldn't catch him. Candy Garland, the colored, policeman, who was shot by Adam Sanders a day or two ago is a very precarious) condition. COMMISSIONERS' COURT.

Jack Imds, colored, chairman of county executive committee called the meeting to order, R. A. Ilarvin, sccertary. Credentials were handad in the names of the delegates dallcd and scats taken as named. At this juncture it was ascertained that two sit), -fKcleates wene present from-ikjJBcincts.

A com- .1 was lin ed that the facia fac te tf ijrj rn as seceA somans anSMdrvi repaired to the part ol the hall J. llll'UiC, UUMJiCU, as chairman and Ed. Lockett as seccrtary. A cry was raised to make the "He Bear" chairman of the whole meeting; thcoppo sition wanted the same distinction for Moore. Everybody talked and yawped and hand-to hand conflict "was imminent The city marshal appeared on the scene and commanded peace.

A committee on conference consisting of three on each side was appointed. The committee and their fuglemen retired. Grandilqucnt speeches were made- and an incessant gabble was steadily maintained. After an absence of "two hours the committee returned and reported that they couldn't agree. A proposition was now made to reorganize the two conventions ajjain.

Sleantime the principal candidates busied themselves holding consultations with the delegates. Thus the time was delightfully pass-until the sun disappeared behind the western horizon and sable night cveloped the earth in darkness almost equal to that of the convention. It was then mutually agreed.to adjourn till 9 o'clock this morning. A cursary count showed about 23 pale faced delegates, many of them candidates and forty or fifty negroes present. On the part of the Klacden-istic wing, Steve Hackworth, Johnny O'Riordanand Jim But-lerbobbed amontr the delctratcs.

TThe Hutchinsonian-Harvinitc wing had its feathers plumed by Hutchinson and Harvin in pci-son, with R. S. Booker as acting assistant, adjutant" general and aid-de-camp; the trio made themselves very busy among the delegates. At the beginning of the love-feast all except delegates were excluded from the floor. At times during-the proceedings the scenc.bcggared description andaperfectpandc-monium reigned supreme.

The fun will be resumed this morning. The night's caucus will probably determine the fate of many of the aspirants for negro suffrage. Real estate transfers recorded for the week ending August 1 5 tli, reported by C. F. Hcrbst, of the county clerk's office.

The nominees of the State, congressional and senatorial conentions will be generally supported, but not with that enthusiasm we would desire. Wc re gret to see in the late call for a county convention that the present precinct and club organization is entirely ignured. The present plan has been in successful operation for. years, and, so far as wc can learn, the majority are ery much opposed to any change. In almo-t cry precinct and club in the county final action has been taken, and ia many instances, delegates selected and instructed.

The, two-thirds rule, of late, has met with universal condemnation. -V plan to prevent a dead-lock has been suggested by the Washington precinct, but it requires many ballots and, therefore, encourages wire-working. We consider it objectionable, and much prefer the majority rule, when often a single ballot is all that is required. Of course, when more than two candidates are before the convention, the lowest should be droppetU This plan prevents wire-working, and, therefore, less animosity will spring up between candidates, and feel assured would gnc'more satisfaction than any other plan that may be adopted. The hard fight going on for county offices suggests to us that the ta-pajcrsare paying dear foi the whistle.

For instance, the assessor's office is worth two or ihrLC thousand dollars; the work can be done in tuo months or less. Wc have many copipetent gentlemen in Washington county who would gladly do the work lor five hundred dollars. Members of the legislature should think of this We shall hope for harmonious action in the county coavention. Occasioxal. From Independence.

Editors Bx.nner: Not a line from any of your correspondents in the last Banner. I reckon they have all waited during the heated term too hot to write but the editors gfonr paper must get up something entertaining, if they arc sweltering in their sanctum, what does it matter to us It's they make their In ing, and if I hav not paid up my subscription yet, it docs not matter, editors have an easy time an) how the get the first and last messes of roasting-ears, a basket of the reddest peaches, the biggest matcrmclon and sometimes the biggest potato. Then, ofcourse, the generous editor will give the liberal donor a puff ia his paper, that don't cost much, only a little spaccis 'occupied thatmiglifbe filled with an ajvertis- ment worth fivcdollars, which would puff out considerably the editor's depleted purse but then, if editors want to lie popular, they must be generous and not stand on htlle tilings. In a word, want a first-class paper with a good deal oforigmality, choice selections all the news of the day, both at home and abroad, want as few advcrtiscnicnts as possible, but, most of all, we want it to cost us as little as posible. Now, I hope I have not described the feelings of many of your readers )et it may hit some of them.

Then, if the people of Washington county would have a paper of which they may be jusdy proud, let them remember that labor and material cost' money, and, however generous nay be its editors, they must be sustained by a liberal paying patronage.
