The home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. *
Batemar in Canton was the scene
of a merry Christmas party, when
all the children arrived, bringing .
dinner with them, each providing
certain "extras” for the big bill of
fare that specialized in turkey and
every other choice edible .that goes
to round out a perfect Christmas
dinner. A Christmas tree, too, was
provided, bedecked with about 130
“ presents, the head of the household
drawing a toy pistol and a popgun.
There were 26 present, and all
agreed that it was the most enjoy-
able Christmas occasion the family
had ever had.
Those present were: C. C. Bate-
man, wife and three sons, Ray-
mond, Raefel and George Truetti
Mrs. Nettie Easley and husband
and two daughters, Leland and Iva;

There had been ginned in Van
Zandt county up to Dec. 13 a to-
tal of 36,973 bales of cotton, com-
pared with 26,303 bales up to the
same time last year, according to
the latest announcement of the
bureau of the census.
The Herald carries the announce-
ment this week of J. C. Gibbs for
the officer of commissioner of pre-
cinct No. 2, subject to the coming
primary election. Mr. Gibbs is the
present commissioner of the pre-
cinct mentioned, and is well known
to all the voters, hence needs no
introduction at the hands of the
paper.
Woodrow Graham, 19, Canton
high school student, whose home is
near Myrtle Springs, was reported
doing nicely at the St. Paul’s sani-
tarium, Dallas, Monday. The young
man was taken to the institution
one day last week, to be treated for
a severe burn on his left hand, sus-
tained when some phosphorus he
had in his possession ignited, men-
tion of which appeared in this pa-
per two weeks ago.

or’s rolls must be consulted great in the world war. When it was over---—
There is a grapevine rumor to
the effect that Senator Tomas Pol-
lard thinks of retiring and not be-
coming a candidate for re-election.
This would be a distinct loss to the
district. Senator Pollard has made
a good senator. He has been faith-
ful in the discharge of his legisla-
tive duties, and has ever tried to
serve the best interests of his con-
stituents. He has been in the senate
long enough to be one of its most
influential members, and could do
infitely more for the district than
any new member could hope to do.
The Mirror hopes that the rumor
that he is to retire is unfounded.
With all the activity in the devel-
oping of East Texas, East Texas
needs a senator that is familiar with
ins and outs of legislation and that
has influence enough to put over
the laws that we need, or prevent
the passage of laws that we do not
need. Besides, Senator Pollard is
our friend, a friend of long stand-
ing, and we are in favor of draft-
ing him for the office, believing
that the best interests of the dis-
will be served by his continuing re-
presentng this district as senator.
—Gilmer Mirror.
Today is the first day of a new
year. It is the time to make effec-
tive all your new resolutions. If
you can “stick” to them for a day,
why not a week, or a month, or for
a year? Have you resolved to do
better in the future than in the
past, to be a better man, woman,
boy or girl? If so, that’s fine. Do
you think there is a possibility of
improvement in your life? In your
business affairs? In your dealings
with mankind? In boosting for your
town and community? In church
attendance? In charity to others?
l argely, 1932 will be what the indi-
vidual makes it. So, do the best you
can.

' “2--
Austin, Dec. 30. — Governor Ster-
ling gave expression to three major
thoughts for the New Year Wed-
nesday.
He let it be known without say-
ing so directly that he would be a
candidate in the Democratic prim-
aries of next July and the ensuing
general election for renomination
and reelection to a second term.
He expressed doubt that the suit
brought by Attorney General All-
red against 15 major oil companies
and two petroleum associations, al-
leging violations of the anti-trust
laws in Texas, would result in ban-
. ishment of the defendants in busi-
ness from the state.
He could not see any surface rea-
son why the Legislature should be
called into extraordinary session
during 1932.
