rehabilitation system of bringing'
Rusk county out of the agricul-
tural doldrums and indicating that
a farm program would figure in
a great way in the future activ-
ities of the Henderson Chamber
of Commerce in its efforts to be
of real service to the city and
community, C. W. Rettig, presi-
dent of that organization comes
to the forefront with a plan that
he believes will be workable.
In commenting on the topic Mr.
Ret'ig pointed ?ut that agricul-
ture was the cne permanent re-
source to which the citizenship of
this section could always turn,
and while giving full credence to
all other developments and in-
dustries he is sold on the Idea
that the farming clement is the
one big factor towaid which this
recticn will finally be compelled
to go.
Mr. Rettig's plan is that work-
ing through the regularly
stltuted farm agencies of
In this issue of the Daily News will be found arti-
cles relating to the progress and advancement made in
the Rusk county area and while in many instances no
attempt has been made to be specific in the data used,
there is much of fact to be found that is interesting and
presented in a very readable manner.
Progress and prosperity are synonymous. Without
prosperity there is no progress and without progress,
prosperity lagk It has been a combination of these two
that has brought Henderson thus far on the journey
from the past to the future and which presents it today
as one of the most outstanding sections in all the coun-
try.
Until within the past few years this section depend-
ed almost entirely upon its agricultural activities for sus-
tenance, but when the prospectors drills bit into the sub-
terranean stratas and a flow of oil was found the wealth
jt added to the already prosperous section placed Hen-
derson in the forefront of the most progressive cities in
the country.
The population of the city has doubled many times
over, the wealth of the citizenship has been boosted by
millions of dollars and business has increased in such
volume that, commercially speaking, the town is so far
ahead of its former self that even a vague comparison
would be difficult.
Henderson is one town that has known nothing of
the depression and while other sections of the country
have struggled to exist under the most trying times the
country has ever known, and have counted themselves
fortunate if they held their own, Henderson has made
progress.
A staid and conservative leadership in the city has
been responsible in a great measure for the stability of
the community and the permanent nature of the com-
munity improvements.
While this is true there is yet much to be done
that would advance the best interests of this section,
and the development of its potential resources.
No part of the Southwest is richer in tradition, and
certainly none could present a better business back-
ground than has featured the Henderson section through
its years of development.
If the reader will accept the prediction of this
writer, he would like to say that compared to the future
the past has only scratched the surface. Undreamed
of progress and improvements are yet in store and only
the passing of time will reveal whether or not the citi-
zenship is of the calibre to accept and develop its possi-
bilities. We believe it is.

DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 26 (UP) —
Mrs. Molly Hil, 59, was burned
seriously today when her cloth-
ing was ignited as she stood in
front of a wood stove. She was
brought from her home in the
Union Bower community to a
Dallas hospital. Physicians said
it was doubtful that she would
live.
y DALLAS, Tex., Oct.
(UP)—The Fifth Court
Civil Appeals held today that
Mrs. L. A. Joiner, former
wife of C. M. (Dad) Joiner,
discoverer of the East Texas
oil field, was entitled to one-
half of the property owned by
her husband at the time of
their divorce in 1933.
In part, the judgment reversed
a decision handed down several
months ago by District Judge W.
M. Taylor. The previous ruling
said that Mrs. Joiner was not en-
titled to any of the property be-
cause of an agreement she sign-
ed with her husband shortly be.
fore the divorce was granted.
The agreement said she was to
have the homestead in Ardmore,
Okla., and $500 a month, but was
to have nothing to do with Join-
er’s oil holdings. Mrs. Joiner con-
tended she signed the agreement
thinking it was a joint will.
AUSTIN, Oct. 26 (UP)—How-
ard Pierson, 20-year-old college
youth who slew his parents, Jus-
tice William Pierson of the Texas
Supreme Court, and Mrs. Pierson,
was adjudged insane by a jury In
district court today.
The verdict prevented the
youth's trial on murder charges.
He was remanded to the Sheriff’s
custody and probably will be com-
mitted next week to a State Hos-
pital for the Insane.
The verdict came while the
Texas-Rice football game was in
progress and not more than a
dozen spectators were in the court
room. The jury was out two hours
and fifteen minutes and took two
ballots. On the first ballot three
jurors voted he was sane.
Pierson, who spent his twenty-
first birthday in jail waiting trial,
stared straight ahead when the
verdict was read, without emotion
or expression.
“I don’t know,” he said when
asked what he thought of it.
To him it probably meant long
years in an asylum and that he
will escape the electric chair.
“I think it was the right ver-
dict,” said WiUtem H. Pierson,
