Notwithstanding . lhsasaRd HishaPs aud
drawbacks, ever since The gar il has ap-
pssred with the regularity Of the best
slSek, sud has kept As fa'ly up With
The Rsws aad The times as any paper wiih'
out superior facilities, Although even
some Of our beet patrons have e0HPlsiAsd
Of shat they considered . want Of sPiri,
In our political eOhduei, ne have been con
seieniious and We believe that those Who
now eonds,na will a, last applaud US
These are strange polilisal times, and the
shrswdss, professional politicians seen
puIIlsi as 10 what course TO pursue. With
a minority in power, with the national
purse aud The sword Of the nation In lie
hands, the majority mus, be careful no,
to provoke the base aud unprinslplei msb
in ONCE 10 the use Of the purse and the
sword for their oppression and the de-
.irue,iou Of the Republic. We think We
arc RICH, IN our willingness 10 accept even
the cruel terms OF reconstruction offered
~, rather than by refusing them 10 invite
fresh oppression and still more cruel
terms. Politics, in the subjugaied South,
at present, are Improbable aud a farce;
but the day Is coming anon when II will
he the duty OF every citizen 10 take deep
interest aud active part In the political
affairs Of the State aud nation.
Now, however, IL Is tho part OF wisdom
10 encourage aud foster all the industries
and material interests Of the country,
thereby recovering What was lost by the
war, tho fortunes aud influence Of the
South. To this end, the Editors Of the
HERALD will, in the future as In the past,
devote whatever energy, tact and talent
they may possess. Tho man who plants a
field Of wheat or corn or cotton an orchard
or vineyard is doing far more good than
all the political wire working and stump
speaking between the Sabine aud the
Gulf Of Mexico.
In the pieserr year, no pains nor e1-
pcnsc will be spared to make the HERALD
good and faithful county organ, cham
pion of truth, entitled to confidence and
respect, and worth moro than the mcagre
subscription price.
We sincerely thank our subscribers, adj
vcrtisers and other patrons for their many
favors; and in conclusion would assure
them and the people of Dallas and circum-
iacent counties that the heavier the pat
ronngc the better the paper, and the man
who helps the paper, helps his State, his
bis county and himself
