Some forty odd dollars \ere realiz-
ed .for the Herald’s Christmas char-
ity fund from the sale of the cook-
ing school cakes, pies, doughnuts and
bread Saturday afternoon. Wre con-
fess, beloved, that when we looked
at the beautiful line of delicacies Sat-
urday, before the sale, we thought the
auction should bring something like
a hundred dollars. But, the amount
realized will be used to good advan-
tage. The cakes were good, judging
by the ones we bought and sampled.
A few that were not sold were turn-
ed over to the ladies of the Organiz-
ed Charities, and they gave them to
deserving people.- Thanks to ^ all-
who participated in the happy event.

feeling good over the outlook for the
future, as next year promises to be a
great one in its history. At the very-
beginning of the year there will be
the construction of the .Dallas, Corsi-
cana & Palestine Railway between
this city and Corsicana, and the
establishment here of shops and gen-
eral offices. The year will 3tart with
the. construction of a splendid new
public library building, and a new
three story Knights of Pythias home.
The Pearlstone wholesale house will
be completed by the first of the year,
and it is confidently believed the
year will not he very old before act-
ual work will be under way on a big
*
new hotel. And it is reasonably cer-
tain there -will be other business
Rouses constructed.
And, too, we expect to have the I.
& G. N. general offices tack with us
and the best of feeling all around in
this matter, with the road pulling for
Palestine and Palestine pulling for
the road. • y
And we expect to see; Anderson
county rapidly filled with a prosper-
ous class of farmers and. truckers.
A plan has already been devised to
make the truck industry profitable,
and the success of this industry will
attract new people.
We come into the new y?ar, too,
with some fifty or sixty miles of good
roads that will get better as time
goes, by, and these roads are ‘expect-
ed to play a big part in bringing new
people to cultivate the lands.
If the Business League gets the
support to which it is entitled next
year, Palestine is going to make won-
derful strides, and we will have a
different town at the end, of the com-
ing twelve months.
