In the county court this evening, several ofthe attorneys were considerably out of order. Capt.

Capt. AYERS received a blow across the head--not very serious. No other damage, except that each of the parties was fined $10. Galveston Daily News, 27 Jan. 1878, p. 1 Bryan...As some misapprehension may have arisen from a special sent the News of the 27thinst., it is due to Messr. HENDERSON & HENDERSON to state that Capt.

The Eagle's traveling representative had the pleasure of calling on Mr. T. J. SAWYER, while in the Bethel neighborhood last week and seeing some old relics which Mr. SAWYER had. One is a Life of Francis MARION, printed in 1834, and another was a specimen of the old continental currency--a $5,00 bill and made in 1775, and bearing that date. October 6, 1898, p.3, cot. 5 ON THE ROAD. Notes by the Eagle Traveling Man. The Town of Edge. The Eagle reported made this interesting little town and community in his last outing through the country. The village consists of 3 stores, 1 black-smith shop, 2 gins and a saw mil!. W. H.McMICHAEL is postmaster and runs a general store, with a good stock of goods. J. M. SLAUGHTER has a fine stock of general merchandise. Mrs. M. A. DERDEN conducts a millinery and general store business, and manufacturers good bottle soda for her trade. The Eagle reported can testify that the soda water is first-class. 58 J. M. NEWMAN is the blacksmith, and is doing a good business. The village is surrounded by a splendid farming country, and crops this year are fine asa rule; the farmers are unusually prosperous, and Edge bids fair to continue to grow in business and importance as the county develops. Macy. Macy was visited by the Eagle representative lasf week, and many acquaintances made and old acquaintances renewed. Macyconsists of a single store and postoffice, run by W. C. NEWMAN; a blacksmith shop,J. T. TARBER, blacksmith;and J. C. MANNING's gin. Dr.A.J. WHITE is the practicing physician ofthis community. He does a big practice and the Eagle reporter is under obligations to him for favors shown. Wheelock. Wheelock, Robertson county, is noted for nice residences,and good homes. The Eagle man was treated very nicely indeed by the people in this community, and he will always remember the people with pleasure,. and will visit them again. MITCHELL Bros. & DECHERD conduct a general store and have the postoffice here. They have a fine stock of goods, and are doing a good business. Besides this, the drug store of the town carries a good stock and does a nice business. Joe HOWARD of Wheelock, is doing a good business here, making tombstones. He was a patent process for making slabs oufof composition, which gives good results. October 27, 1898, p.3, cot. 4 ON THE ROAD. Notes Gleaned by the Eagle's Traveling Representative. Benchley, Millican, Allenfarm,WeHborn, Manganic Wells, and the Broom Factory. Notes by the Way. A late visit to Benchley and vicinity, eight miles north of Bryan on the H. & T. C. railroad, showed the people. of that locality to be in a prosperous condition with good crops. Benchley has one general merchandise house. Mr. H. F. PAYNE is proprietor and also postmaster. The local gin is owned by SEALE & PRATER, with F. S. WILCOX in charge as manager. The public school building is used by various denominations as a meeting place. Manganic Wells was another point of interest. Lying two miles northwest of Bryan, its find medicinal properties are well known here and have attracted considerable attention elsewhere. Mr. DEAN is in charge of the Wells. In the lower part of the county is Allenfarm on the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe railroad, headquarters for some immense plantations. STEELE&STEELE have a general supply house with the postoffice andi there are twpgins. Millican, twenty miles sou~h of Bryan, was next visited. It is an historic place and was formerly the metropolis of Brazos county~nd terminus of the H. & T. G. The business houses are no,^, asfollows:,SCRIMSHI~E & PLAYER, ..general merchandise; A. J. EDWARDS, groceries and li~uors; W.B.'SCRIMSHIRE,drugs and postmaster; C. J. HEMPFLING, . g~neral mercHandise; F. H. POOL,lumber yard and blacksmith' shop; George HEMPF~INGand H. E.

A steam drill, black powder and dynamite are used in quarrying, the electric current being 59 employed for explosions, and the rock run through a crusher. Wellborn, ten miles south of Bryan, on the railroad is widely known for the enterprise and progressiveness of its citizens. J. H. ROYDER & Bro. have three stores and handle everything. They also have a lumber yard and a very fine gin. H. L. GENTRY & Co., have a stock of general merchandise and Mr. GENTRY is postmaster. Mr. M. S. FREEMAN has a general merchandise house. Good schools and churches are maintained. The Bryan broom factory, two miles north of Bryan, was visited. This enterprise is owned and operated by STANG.EL & WHITE, and has a capacity of three to four dozen good brooms per day, which sell from $1.35 to $3.00 per dozen. Mr. STANGEL says broom corn raised in Brazos and adjourning counties is better and stronger and more desirable for his work than that raised in the north. They pay 3 to 31/2 cents per pound for it, and say they will give the farmers all the seed they want to plant. On average land it produces 1500 pounds per acre with comparatively little labor. They do a wholesale broom business exclusively. The Eagle representative has visited all the communities in the county since starting out this season and has been well received everywhere, adding largely to our subscription lists and forming the acquaintances of the people. This work will be continued indefinitely in this and adjoining counties. * * * * * Reliance July 7, 1898, p.3. cot.2 County News. Reliance News. Reliance is still blessed with thunder storms, concerts and picnics. Our fish fry was called in on the fourth on account of the rain, but the boys celebrated at the Grassbur school house that night with a grand concert. There was about 450 or 300 people present; there were songs, recitations, dialogues, negro sermon and music and every one there seemed to enjoy themselves well, and I think the boys performed nicely. On Thursday night last Prof. EILAND and wife, Profs. ACUFF and EVERIDGE and Miss Florence MASSEY sang at Reliance church, and there was a large crowd attended. Our protracted meeting begins on the third Sunday in July. Mrs. Maggie HEMPHILL is visiting relatives at Reliance.

They had to work it once and won't have to pick it at alt. Sweet potatoes are fine in this section. 60 There is a good deal of sickness in this community at this writing.

The Reliance musical society met .in regular session Saturday night, April 22, with a large attendance. Priendswere present frorn the Steep Hollow and Kurten communities. Come again, we appreciate your visits. We. have had our hears touched once more with grief over the loss of our dear friend, Albert SMITH, who died a sudden death with congestion of the lungs, at his mother's home. He was seventeen years of age and moved to this countyfrom the state of Georgia 11 years ago. We miss his presence, but know that he is in a much better place than this old .earth below. It is so sad to have to part, With loved ones here below, And yet when e'er we stop to think, God said It would be just so. The reaper came and claimed as his Our friend, our loved, our own, And took away our Albert dear, To dwell around that throne. Sometimes we often stop and think, Pause, and wonder why? 62 And then we know litis not all of live to live, Nor of death to die. A Friend May 25, 1899, p.3,co!.1 County News. Brazos County Singers.

From Reliance. The flood did much damage in this community, but faces are looking natural again since the people can realize that a higher power than mankind has control of affairs, and that all things are for the best, however mysterious they may seem. Quite a number of people from our community were out of the county away visiting during the flood and now they are out the county waterbound. Mr. W. H. MORGAN is repairing and partially rebuilding his gin, which will add muchto its worth and usefulness. 63 Our young people having felt for some time, the need of a Baptist Young Peoples Union, Sunday night, quite a number of earnest christian boys and girls met with a prayer in their hearts and aftera short talk frorn the pastor which was full of encouragement. The organization resulted as follows: Prof. C. E. BULLOCK, president; C. C. MORGAN, vice president; Miss Minnie MORGAN, secretary; all of whom we believe will perform their duties with earnestness. The beginning subject "Have we the Spirit of God" was discussed and references to humility, courage, etc., were read and proved to be very helpfut. Rev. J. L. WILSON of Georgetown made an interesting talk to the members of the Union. The second and fourth Sunday nights in each month was selected for the time of meeting. Our musical' society which met Saturday night, July 8th was almost a perfect success. Several quartettes, recitations and an essay concerning the science of music, by Miss BULLOCK were rendered, all of which deserved credit. Mr. · WHITTINGTON wasre-elected president and Miss Lula GRIFFITH was chosen secretary for next quarter. A Friend July 13, 1899, p.7, co!.2 From Reliance. Taking advantage of your offer to correspondents from the different neighborhoods, I sent in a few lines. Mr. W. H. MORGAN is putting in some very fine machinery for his gin and mil!. Prof. J. C. CLOUD is to conduct a class in music at Bowman in July, and will no doubt do fine work. He holds a diploma from Prof. EILAND. I have heard of somesharp criticism on newspaper articles of late. That is as it should be. A thing thatdoesnot attract attention isa poor thing. One good soul told me that my chances of becoming great were lessened by writing for the press. I wanted to ask him "what am I to do." Since I have not been made road overseer, judge of election, president of any concern, and not being able to buya new buggy to ride the girls to singing while the home folks play with the kittens. Worse than all this I have not had an opportunity to try my hand as a pugilist in order that I mightdeclarethatlll am still in the " when all these honors are denied him one still can ease himself through the printing press. Besides the. critics did not know that the sufficient reason for some persons not writing is because their ideas have not collected yet and in all probability never wil!. After all critics are useful creatures when we consider thatthe one that curses you this year is the most liable to praise you next year. Among those hurt most by the overflow are J.M. BULLOCK, Ollie SEALE, J. R. WEBER, W. R. THOMPSON and others. Shoe Peg August 10, 1899, p.3, cot.2 Correspondence. Reliance News. Cotton picking season has again arrived and the people of this community are busily engaged in the pursuit. Rev. J. M.

New names are being added to the roll and all seem to be ever ready for an opportunity to say something forthe Lord. Our Church Book was thoroughly discussed at the last meeting and the subject of prayer will be discussed at the next meeting. Profs. CLOUD and SHEALEY closed a vocal music school at this place last Friday. Much good was done and we wish them success in all their teaching. Little Harry MORGAN, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

Mr. A McKENZIE, the head of the house of McKENZIE & Co., the finest (?) dealer in jewelry inthis section of Texas, was born in Scotland in 1853. A year after his birth he was carried by his father to the Dominion of Canada. At 18 yearsof,age he embarked in the jewelry business, and after following it for nine years and becoming thoroughly proficient in its every department, he came to the town of Bryan that being in the year 1880. Here he worked at the bench three years with Mr. John T. WISE, before beginning business for himself. It was in 1883, twelve years ago that he associated with .Mr~ A D. McCONNICQ, established in the business that has been continued so successfully ever since until now the firm ranks second to none in Central Texas. Mr. McKENZIE'sbusiness has always had an air of solidity and reliability that speaks volumes for a firm most especially in his line, in which there are so many impostors. His business has never had a "mushroom" growth, and never a failure. Having a sufficient capital to carry a very large stock, this firm is not only able to meet, but to undersell any competition in this section of the state. They carry watches, c1ocks,jewelry, silverware, china, cut glass, silver novelties, books, stationary, musical instruments, artists materials, oil paintings, pipes and cutlery. In silverware and china, the only first class display in town. Mr. McKENZIE, who has charge of the business, isa Knight of Pythias, a member of the A. O. U. W.,and the democratic party. Their place of business is on Main street, Bryan, where you are cordially invited to call, and will be treated right. * * * * * John B. MIKE- Wholesale and Retail Grocer, Manager Grand Opera House Wherever Bryan is known the fame of this mammoth supply depot has gone. It is beyond question the largest and most complete grocery establishment in this section ofthe country, and. its annual volume of business reaches away up in the thousands. With its popular proprietor, Mr. JohnB. MIKE, cateringto the discerning taste of an exacting and fastidious public has through long experience and natural adaptability, become second nature. Mr. MIKE is pre-eminently a business man in every sense of the word. He knows just what the people want, when, where and how to but to the best advantage, and how to sell the goods when he gets them. Mr. John B. MIKE was born in Franklin county, Ark., near Webb City, in 1860. He moved to Bryan with his father's family in 1865, receiving his education at the public 69 schools here and at the A. and M.College. From early boyhood during vacations and at odd times he was always behind the counter in the store of his father, the style of that firm being MIKE & Co., Inc. In 1885 he began business for himself in his present stand, which he never of dry goods and groceries probably worth , discontinued the sale of dry goods and devoted attention exclusively to groceries, going heavily into wholesale as well as retail trade. He now carries,as before stated, the largest stock in Bryan, averaging at all times a value of more than $15,000. He handles in bulk every thing in staple and fancy groceries, imported and domestic, also crockery, wooden, earthen, willow and glassware and immense stock of paper bags. Mr. MIKE's wholesale business extends to smaller towns throughout this section, and he is able to save country merchants, as well as retail buyers, 20 per cent on their purchases, by buying in large lots strictly for cash and selling for cash.' He makes a specialty of buying and shipping chickens, eggs, turkeys, butter,beeswax, hides and all country produce for which he pays the highest market price in cash. In this particular line he is the largest dealer in the state outside of Houston, and makes shipments to all important points in Texas, and to New York, Chicago and Kansas City. The farmers of this and surrounding counties do not fail to appreciate this ready market for their stuff and patronize Mr. MIKE accordingly. He also buys and sells cotton and wool to the best advantage, and has ample facilities for handling both. He employs a full complement of clerks and you may always be sure of prompt and courteous attention. Mr. MIKE became connected with the Grand Opera House in 1892, and January 1 of the present year became sole lessee and manager. Here his characteristic enterprise is also apparent inasmuch as he has completely refitted and repainted the opera house and supplied it with new heaters and all other conveniences for the coming season which promises to be better than the city has every known, and unusually large list of attractions already being secured. Mr. MIKE is also one of the projectors? and owners of the new Bryan telephone exchange which with the new Hunning? long distance phones is unquestionably one of the best in the state and a great convenience and credit to the town. Mr. MIKE was married in 1882 to Miss Fannie HORETSKY of Bryan and has one child, Master Louis, a bright lad of 3 years. Mr. MIKE is a member of the K. of P., A O. U. W., A L of H., K. of L., and H. and I. O. O. F. He isa born democrat, a good citizen and a substantial pillar n the prosperity of this community. Moreover, he expects, to live and die here, and in the future as in the past, will endeavor to please his patrons and keep his business up to its present standard of excellence. and prosperity. * * * * * J. Allen MYERS Mr. J. Allen MYERS was born in Montgomery, Ala., April 13, 1855, and moved to Louisiana during early boyhood. He refugeed from Louisiana to Texas during the war in 70 1863, settling near Sutton, in Robertson county. Came to Brazos county in 1865, residing 10 years in Millican and coming to Bryan in '75. He clerked for leading grocery firms here for some years and afterwards held the office of county clerk for four years and postmaster eight years, receiving the appointment from President ARTHUR. During his incumbency as postmaster he was engaged in book and stationery business with Mr. Tyler HASWELL. He was married first in 1875 and has nine children. Married a second time recently to Mrs. Emma BONE. Mr. MYERS is a republican and has been active and influential in politics for years. He is a member of the Knights of Pyiloas and Knights of Honor. His churchaffiliations.are with the Christian denomination. Mr. MYERS last business occupation was with MYERS & CARR, he having disposed of his interests in that firm during the present month.

BUCHANAN, Brazos County Agent for the Farmer's Co-operative Demonstration Work of the United States, is a prominent citizen of Brazos County, and one oftheablest and most efficient agriculturists in the State of Texas. He is eminently qualified for the important position he occupies, having been a practical farmer for thirty-two years of his life, and having always taken active part .and interest in the scientific advancement of agriculture. He is a pioneer citizen of Brazos County, having resided here since 1869. He was. elected to the Legislature from this county in 1887, where he served with marked distinction for one term, regular and special sessions. From 1888 to 1892 he was lecturer for the State Grange Patrons of Husbandry, Which was one of the greatest farmers organizations known to the history of agriculture. He served efficiently as postmaster of Bryan from March, 1894, until June, 1898. He was County Treasurer of Brazos County frorn 1898 to 1900. It is not believed that there is a man in all the numbers of employees of the Department of Agriculture who is better qualified by experience, training, and education to fill the position he now holds than is Mr. BUCHANAN, and the valuable work he has done.for the cause of agriculture is a part of the history of its progress and material advancement in this part of Texas.

The government has purchased the lots adjorning the present postoffice on the west for a Federal building site and an appropriation has been made by Congress of $90,000 for the construction ofa Federal building, and the contract for same will be let next November. Postmaster J. Allen MYERS has served as postmaster of Bryan for eighteen years, not consecutively but atthree different periods, his present administration running back for ten years. He was firstappointed by President Chester A. ARTHUR in 1882. He served until Grover CLEVELAND was inaugurated President, when he was removed for "offensive partisanship." He served four years later under President HARRISON, going out again at CLEVELAND's second term. Ten years ago he was again appointed postmaster by President Theodore ROOSEVELT, unsolicited, and not being an applicant, and has served continuously since. When he first took charge ofthe office the receipts barely ran to $8000 a year. The business has doubled and for the current year will run considerable above $16,000.

The office has also grown from a two-man proposition to. six, consisting of the postmaster, assistant postmaster and four clerks. When he first began it meant from twelve to fifteen hours a day work for each man, now it is an eight-hour day schedule approved and required by the Federal government. Mr. MYERS' assistants are: Charles B. STILLWELL, assistant postmaster Thomas A CLOUD, mailing clerk R. R. MYERS, mailing clerk W. H. MYERS,general delivery clerk Morris TATUM, general delivery clerk Postmaster J.Allen MYERSwas born in Montgomery, Ala., April 13, 1855. He came to Texas with his father's family in 1863, and settled at Sutton, Robertson County. He moved to Millican, Brazos County, in 1865, and in 1872 moved to Hearne, coming to Bryan 73 in 1875, and has resided here continuously since. The first work he did for himself was selling papers on the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. In 1872 he began braking for the same road, and on September 17, 1873, at Manor, near Austin, has his hand mashed to pieces while coupling cars and was forced to resign and give up railroading. He later engaged in boring wells in this county, and in 1875 entered the service of BOYLE and Son, grocers, in this city. He later worked for 'J. W. JOHNSON, T. J. McQUEEN, and later for McQUEEN and DAVIS, resigning his position with the latter firm when first appointed postmaster. The history of Mr. MYERS' mercantile. business in Bryan, first as a partner in the stationery business now owned by Tyler HASWELL, then his many years in the hardware business, now president of MYERS Hardware Company, and the splendid success he has achieved, is familiar to all and requires but this casual mention. No young man endured greater hardships, or worked harder to get a start in theworld. He was not ashamed of any work that was honorable. Even after his marriage he served asjanitor of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. His duties were to keep the church clean, which included the care of thirty-eight lamps, ringing the bell, and passing the collection plate. For this he received $4.00 a month and gave $1.50 of this to the church. He also collected the rector's salary, and there were only two men at that time who contributed $5.00 per month, namely, Guy M. BRYAN,Jr. and W. H. FLIPPEN. In those days he wondered if he would ever be. able to contribute as much as $5.00 per monthto the church; and..now, after attaining success through. UTtiring energy and intelligent devotion to the discharge of every duty and responsibilty i~posed upon him, his once limited and most commendable ambition has. been more than realized in his present ability to contribute thousands yearly to the church, charity, and.otl1er worthy objects of his liberal bounty. No man who has ever lived in the city of Bryan has rendered more material aid to its improvement, advancement, and enduring prosperity than has Mr. MYERS,who has been a pillar of strenght in its every crisis in its steady advancement to its present prestige.
