a former mayor of Marshall, says
is a good thing in Marshall, and de-
clares the oifly things hurt by prohi
bition in his town and county are the
liquor business and the county pooj
farm. Mr. A. P. Moore, the wholesale
grocer of Tyler, Palestine, Pittsburg
and other places, says prohibition has
helped his business. Speaking for
Tyler he says it has helped the busi-
ness of that town, and he wants to
see it carried in Palestine because he
knows it will help his business here.
He is interested in dollars and cents
Palestine,’just as are, other local
business people. He, assuredly, would
not want something that would hurt
his business, especially after having
tried it in other towns. The people
of Crockett have spoken to us, and
their answer appears in this paper as
an advertisement for the pro commit-
tee. This testimony is from men we
know, from business men in our
neighbor towns, and should have
some weight. Let us look this matter
squarely in the face, and decide in-
lligently what we will do about it.
d let us use our calmer and better
judgment in deciding the issue.

A TIME FOR COOL JUDGMENT.
The next ten days are goinfe to be
Intense ones in "this good old town.
Pnbllc feeling is going, to be at high
tension, but. in it all the people of
tke town should appreciate more than
ever that It is a time for cool judg-
ment and deliberate thought. Local
option, the question at issue, is either
a good thing for the community or a
bad thing. We think it is a good
thing, but ail of us should be delib-
erate in our judgments. Let us be
governed by reason and by “ reliable
testimony of men who speak by ex-
perience. The Herald is being flooded
with letters from business people in
ail walks of life from the towns
where local option is in effect, and
the testimony is in favor of prohibi-
tion. Mayor McFarland of Jackson-
ville says prohibition has helped his
town and its business, and says the
only brick house in his town empty
today is the calaboose. W. A. Adair,

ing to the congregation and its friends
for many years to come. It is a mon-
ument tO|the loyalty of the men and
women and children who believe in
the glory and omnipotence of God.
. Don’t you doubt for a moment,-^ood
people, but what the Herald is being
handed some large lemons these good
summer days, but we are not worry-
ing. We have set our faces to the
front, and are going to keep right on
doing our level best for Palestine and
this section. We have selected our
road and are on our way.. : •
Let us pause a moment, brethren,
and bow our heads in recognition of
the passing of a good friend and
neighbor, Lewis Nance, who. answered
the death call on Sunda^ morning.
Pea.ce be to the memory of a good
man, a loyal friend, a manly man,
and a good neighbor.
BETTER THAN GREAT RICHES.
It is a saying heard most every day
that if I only had riches I could be
happy and do things. That is only
partly true. Riches, or at least a
competency, is a great convenience,
but it does not necessarily follow that
the man of wealth has any monopoly
on happiness. In fact, the reverse is
often true. It all depends. If a man
haa made a fortune by clean methods
and by his own efforts he can take
some pleasure and pride in his ac-
complishment, and is usually a broad
enough man to make his means serve
him to good purpose. But the man
who has inherited his wealth or ob-
tained it by doubtful methods usually
gets little satisfaction out_of it. On
the contrary, some of the happiest
men in the, world are those who go
about their daily toil, making their
living by honest, clean effort. Hap-
piness is a condition, and is the pro-
duct of a good conscience. X man
may gain money by crooked methods
and think he is succeeding, but some-
where ,in his ^areer he will be con-
fronted by his crookedness, and will
lose all the flavor of his fruits. Hap-
piness is a condition of the mind,
and a man of clean mind who knows
he is right can be happy regardless
of the amount of-his wordly goods.
Attorney General Lightfoot will be
guest of Palestine this evening, and
fviLl speak on prohibition at the big
:ent. Lightfoot has a record of fair
lealing that stands him in good stead
vhen he stands before an audience to
deliver a message.
Whether pro or anti, the people of
Palestine welcome Attorney General
Lightfoot a§ a guest in the city. The
a ttorney general has won his spurs in
Texas, and all the people are glad to
give him the glad hand.
Here’s the very best definition ever
gfcven as to an optimist: An optimist,
siys the authority, is the man who
lakes a lemonade out of the “lemons
hlanded him.” 'Can you beat it?
, The ladies’ local option campaign
was opened Saturday night at the tent
with speeches by Mesdames A. G.
Greenyv'dod, Tom Ware and J. R.
Weeks, who were .introduced by Mrs.
Mary Melton. Little Jane Jackson’s
song, ‘ Papa,. Please Come -Home,”,
was as touching as could be,- and
greatly applauded. Sam and Marie
Bradt sang, “If I Only Had a Home,
Sweet Home," which was well deliv-
ered.
Gentlemen, (and especially our anti
friends), you had,just as well give us
prohibition right now, to get rid of us.
It will save you time and money. We
intend to keep up this fight until the
nation has gone dry. We are learn-
ing to make “political” speeches on
the stage. Tis. a new experience for
us; and we will try it to save our
home and boys, when we would stay
at home if you were running for a
public office. Our mothers stayed at
home, begging for justice; we now get
out among you and demand our rights.
Give us freedom from the snares of
the liquor business, or some of you
will be at home doing your own patch-
ing while we are out learning the
tricks of the politician.

Talk up your hbme town. There is

No wonder Dallas is wicked. The

Mr. J. A. thedford, the man who is
coming among us to put our fruit and
truck business on a paying basis,
has arrived in the city to take up his
work. Mr. Thedford does not come
to us as an experiment, but as a man
who has made a success in his work
in ether fields. He has handled the
shipping business of Lindale for the
past several years, and has made
money for the growers there. He will
do the same thing here if given the
proper support by the growers. He
knows his end of the business, in fact
both ends of the industry, and will
coach the growers in handling the
plants and then in marketing their
products. The Herald is reliably in-
formed that a large acreage has been
guaranteed for the first year, and in
addition to this the business people of
the town should give every encourage-
ment to the work. Once successfully
launched this industry will grow to
giant proportions. Mr. Thedford is
here ready for business, and the rest
of us should get busy with him. This
movement is vastly more important
to Palestine than the coming of
new railroad, and we should take
precious good care of the opportunity.

Anjother Imp, “The Forged .Dispatch,”
Will Be Shown Tonight.
The old idea-of using sage for darken-
the hair is again coming in vogne.
grandmothers nsed to have dark
glossy hair at the age of seventy-five,
while oar mothers have white hair before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers used
to make a “sage tea” and apply it to
their hair. The tea made their hair soft
and glossy, and gradually restored the
natural color. •
One objection to Using such a prep-
aration was the trouble of making it,
especially as it had to be made every two
or three days? on account of souring
quickly. This objection has been over-
come, and by asking almost any first-
class druggist for Wyeth’s Rage and Sul-
phur Hair Remedy tbe public can get a
superior preparation of sage, with the
edmixtare of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Dally nsa of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color of the hair,
hot will also stop the hair from falling
out and make it grow.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
“ and sold by all druggists.

The chief of "police of Chicago, has
done the country a great service, one
that entitles him to a gilt page in the
Carnegie hero book. What has he
done? He has simply told us how to
prevent a rooster from crowing early
in the morning. His remedy is simply
to nail a board just high enough
above the rooster roost that the bird
eannot straighten up enough to crow.
He argues, and no doubt he has made
scientific research, that a rooster
cannot crow without lifting his head
to a certain angle. The only remedy
for the old dominecker that roosts
on the fence is to mix him up in
chicken stew. This rooster remedy is
in keeping with the one. introduced by
a fellow over at Marshall or Tyler,
we forget which. A donkey had
habit of singing carols before day,
much to the annoyance of the com-
munity. Finally one of the neighbors'
told the owner to -tie a brick or
cBunk of wood to the donkey s tail
and that would close his mouth. The
‘owne4 took the advice, and—they held
his funeral the following Sunday Peo-
ple ought not to be so darned partic-
ular. anyhow.
Manager O’Connell says:
‘ The Forged Dispatch,” by the Imp
Fil m Co., will be the feature film on
exl ibition at the Lyric tonight. It is
beautiful war story. Lieutenant
ant! private are rivals for the hand of
girl. The young men go to war
The private forges a dispatch, and the
officer is accused of cowardice, court
ma'tialed and sent home in disgrace.
Yet.rs later the forged dispatch is
found , in the pocket in the clothing
of the dead soldier’s brother on ^ne-
mo ial day. The lieutenant is vindi-
eat?d and lover and sweetheart are
reunited. A beautiful and touching
sto v of the civil war. “Law and
Ort er on Bar L Ranch” is a roaring
comedy by the American Film Co.,
cleverly acted and will ^ touch the
risibilities of any audience. ‘‘The
Cowboy's Ruse,” by the same com-
pany, is a film full of humorous situ-
ations from the flash of the title to
the trade mark. “The Silent Signal"
is i great military drama by the
Solnx Co. Here is a wonderful story
ndians and United States troops,
oduciqg the smoke signal formerly
so extensively by the Lndiaps;
a big strong picture. Don’t fail to
it.
