' *
present learned a great many things
about boys that they probably had
uot known before. Mr. Atkinson has
been specializing with boys for more
than forty years, and he has learned
many things of value, and it is un-
fortunate that all of the parents in
Palestine did not have the opportun-
ity of hearing his message. The Her-
ald cannot undertake here to report
the visitor’s talk, but the writer had
confirmed by this expert an opinion
tong held to the effect that the fail-
ure and disaster that overtakes many
boys is the failure of the parents, in
fact, rather than of the child. Mr.
Atkinson stated another truth that
is worth remembering when he de-
clared that the boy was a snob only
to the extent that he was coached by
his parents, and we all know this is
true. Mr. Atkinson gave it as his fix-
ed opinion, based on his years of ex-
perience and observation, that many
boys are sent wrong by too much re-
straint, by an unreasonble effort
on the part of the parents to make an
adult in thought and condust out
of a.boy who has a boy’s code of mor-
als and conduct His statement con-
tradicted the worth of that rule that

THE BOYS.
Is genuinely refreshing and in-
tog to come ever so often in con-
i with a man who understands
and who*is devoting his time
knowledge to putting the boy
right attitude before his par-
and those who have to do with
ment. A company of Pal-
people had the rare pleasure
fortune Tuesday evening of
a hoy expert, Mr. C. J. Atkin-
suggested line of conduct. The speak-
er declared that the boy conld be con-
trolled when his ’confidence was se-
cured and when he knew that a spirit
of justice was behind such efforts, but
declared arguing and storming at a
boy only aggravated the situation.
The object of Mr. Atkinson’s visit
here was to get consideration for the
boys and to inspire the men of the
town to consider the boys the town’s
greatest asset.
Many people believe that to be lit-
erally true.
This is pay-up* 1 week, and business

be swept away from their new reso-
lution and get back at one big move
to the single crop practice. Of course,
the Herald Is mindful of the wonder-
ful results with the cotton crops this
year, and will not undertake to argue
that cotton has not been a most profit-
able crop this year. But this year may
not repeat again, and if it should not
it would be disconcerting and unfor-
tunate for this section to find all of
its eggs in the one basket. East Tex-
as has been retarded fifteen or twen-
ty years by staying too persistently
with the one crop idea, and has made
great' strides since so many of the
people got into diversified work. For
instance the county has gained some
reputation, and' secured considerable
profit from its extensive development
of the hog industry. At the Dallas
fair this year Anderson county men
won high honors on hogs exhibited,
and the industry is just beginning to
attract the attention it deserves. Con-
tinued as in the past several months,
this county will soon be one of the
foremost hog counties of the state,
and with a commanding market for
this particular product. And then
there are the peanuts and potatoes,
and other crops that are helping to
establish a substantial bank account.

There will be a large cotton crop
planted the coming year; no doubt
about this, but along with the cotton
we should increase these other crops,
and we should by all means keep im-
proving our live stock.

If all people were as free with their
bouquets tq the living as are the
newspaper men. WTe are reminded to
say this by the appearance of the fol-
lowing bouquet for Superintendent
Knightlinger of the I. & G. N. in the
Rusk County News, the paper owned
and written by that prince of good*
fellows, D. R. (Dick) l^arris of Hen-
derson. The chances are Harris is
so .busy running his newspaper and
looking after his model farm that he
doesn’t ride on the train so very
often, but when something is done
that is a help to his town he acknowl-
edges it, and says thank you. To Mr.
Knightlinger he says:
“Col. J. W. Knightlinger, superin-
tendent of the I. & G. N. railroad, not
only has the thanks of the entire cit-
izenship of Henderson, but the trav-
eling public for the recent addition
of a splendid chair car to the Hen-
derson and Overton train. On a' re-
cent visit to our city the promise was
made by Mr. Knightlinger that the
addition would be made. So it haB,
and we again express our apprecia-
tion.”

things a*bout the other fellow, and as

he married her, but he preferred to

field,’ which he had just completed —
his friend, Dr. Johnson, sold it for
him for 60 pounds ($300) and the im-
provident author was released from
custody.”
