to take what the governor offered.
But they are not a bit enthusiastic

there promises to be quite a revolu-

THE WISE MAN.
There is a man in our town who
thinks he’s wondrous wise; though
he has lots of junk to sell, he does
not advertise. He often says: “The
people must know I’m in the game;
and if they want my doodlds, they’ll
come and buy the same. To advertise
my jim-cracks won't bring me trade
or scads, for folks who take the pa-
per refuse to read the ads. They
read the sporting pages, they • read
the household dope, they read what
Lillian Russell says of her beauty
soap, they read 'the wedding stories
of joyous girls and lads, they read
the ‘Hints to Hoboes,' but do not
read the ads.” The large and clam-
my spiders build cobwebs in this
Btore, and no one will disturb them
by entering the door. The "clerks
are growing whiskers all filled with
fungus blue, and comb them with
their fingers—they’ve nothing »else <to
do. Sometimes a sad-eyed pilgrim,
insomnia-accursed, goes there, in
peace and quiet to sleep va little
verse. Anon a man who wishes to
drop from public view, drops in to
see that merchant and stays a week
or two. But no one takes a bundle
to buy things at that store, where
broods the drowsy merchant, and all
the clerkings snore.—Walt Mason.
MOVE OF THE
STEAM ROLLER.
, *
Politics is always an original game.
The Colquitt forces won a victory in
the state campaign and primary elec-
tion. or as a railroad man expressed
it, the Colquitt people lost the ship
but saved their captain. And natur-
ally the Colquitt people felt elated
when the ballot showed the governor
had been re-nominated. But, alas,
when the state convention metv at
San Antonio the governor showed up
with a platform that threw conster-
nation into a great host of his mos-t
active supporters. The liquor ele-
ment of the Colquitt support were
feeling real chesty about his victory
until he sprung his liquor plank on
them, and then they relt differently,
and made a vigorous protest. But
th^ governor stood firm, and put it
up to them to take what he offered
or run the risk of getting something
worse from their viewpoint. And, af-
SCARCITY OF LABOR.
Every day now men can be found
walking the , streets looking for com-
mon labor, and it seems to be practi-
cally impossible to get it. This i6
partly due to the fact that many ne-
groes have been taken away from
here to pick cotton m other sections
of the state, and partly due, we sus-
pect, to the fact that many will not
work. Jt is a bad condition, and one
that seems to be bard to solve. Ordi-
narily the common labor is bele, but
at t^is particular time it is bard to
secure at any price. There seems to
be no way of keeping people from
leaving for other points to work, but
those who are here and will not work
should be persuaded that the world
does not owe them a living unless
they work for it.
Help to keep the town clean and
thus preserve the health of the peo-
ple.
Are you pushing for a greater Pal-
estine and a big fair? Please push
altogether.
There is opportunity for a romance
In writing of the nights in August in
Texas.
Our arm is fairly aching to throw
at som^-of the doll babies to be hare
at the fair.
We can almost hear the band play-
ing for the fair. And can see the
gentleman step out in front of the
canvas front and explain to us the
wondere of Lydia, the snake charmer.
My, but we are restless.
Another contract has been let for
twenty additional miles of sand-clay
road in this precinct. The work is
—«.
to be rushed, and the contract calls
for sand-clay roads according to the
best formula. The Herald hopes the
work pans put right.
President Taft has 'been forced by
the democratic congress to veto im-
portant tariff bills, and has gone on
record as still believing that protec-
tion is necessary for the American
manufacturers. And the president
will have to meet this argument in
his campaign.
Anderson county got on the map as
a truck center this year and made
some money. Next year we will have
the experience and will make more
money. And in addition to tffe bene-
fits to come to the home people it
is only a question of time now until
colonies of truck growers will be
settling here with us, and then we
will profit still more. Keep hustling
and results are bound to come.
The prime object of the fair is
educational, giving the home people
a better idea of the value of our
products, and interesting visitors in
this section as the land of plenty and
prosperity, but outside of this more
Important feature, we are going to
make the occasion one of jubilee.
There is going to be a bufchel of fun
in connection with the fair. It will
be a week of general relaxation,
when everyone can rest from the la-
bors of the year and enter into the
carnival spirit. And it will not hurt
any of us to turn loose a bit and
have a good time. Jack becomes a
very dull boy when required to work
all the time. But mix in a little play
and he becomes a regular cut up.

Tyler has no place where the young
men and boys in their teens can con-
gregate in the afternoons or even-
ings for social intercourse. It has a
jail, a calaboose, a court house and a
lot of bawdy houses, it has \ boot-
legging holes and whiskey drinking
joints, but no place, suitable for. our
young boys to congregate.—-Tyler

Very few cities in East Texas are

Pfffestine is particularly fortunte in

sociation with a wgll equipped build-
ing. Palestine also has the begin-
nings of a park.. So far as Marshall
is concerned it has neither, and no-
body is making any open move to
get them.. It costs some money, but
the money thus spent is literally-and
metaphorically bread cast upoi

The removal of the saloon was a
move in the right direction for ^ the
benefit of the young men. but nothing
has been erected to take the place
