You can raise chickens there, here you

Above all, comrade. you can raise your

A Lover of Trees.
1--we are close upon the time for the
snnuEl tree trimming campaign, days
when tree lovers, and those who ap
preclate beautiful streets and avenues,
are incensed beyond measure at the
rulhlcss and unnecessary abuse to
which. city trees are subjected at the
hands of incompetent laborers. Every
Que who has any desire to see the trees
protected from this annual destruction
should make every effort to oppose
this system. and call upon his local
papers to utter a vigorous protest
against the employment of incompe-
tent men to do such work. Systematic
ana intelligent pruning. that is, prun-
Ing at proper times and in detail as
absolutely required, is good for trees;
il promotes health, strength and
beauty; it helps the tree to do its best
under the adverse and unnatural coLs
ditions Of its city existence, but it
shou d be done under the direction of
skilled horticuturist or garde er. 1t
Is 50 important that we urge another
perusal Of Mr.. Dunbars articles on
the subject. given in our issues of
March and April 1908 Tree trimming
has no rules, beyond the few general
suggestions on the subject that will
apply to all trees in common. Every

PALESTINE, TEXAS, JUNE 4, 1904.
Resolutions.

To the Hon. Jno. J. Word, Judge Of
the District Court of the Third Jul
dicial District of Texas:
We, your committee to whom was
referred the duty of submitting reso-
lutions commemorative of the life and
character of Parks Arlington, beg
leave to submit the following:
Ganaway Parks Addington, who
died in the flower of his young man
hood on the 18th day of December,
1903, was born at Brushy Greek, in
Anderson county, Texas, on the 18th
day Of January, 1877.
In his early infancy his parents re-
moved to Palestine, and it was in this
city that young Addington grew to
manhood, formed his character, made
his friends, and developed those man
ly and lovable qualities that so en-
deared him to all who knew him.
On April 9th, 1895, he was appointed
deputy tax collector of Anderson
county, which position he held until
April 30th, 1896, when he accepted the
position of deputy district clerk, the
duties OF which position he discharged
until April 9th, 1897, when he was ten
dered and accepted the position of
deputy county clerk.
In the following year he was APP
pointed deputy sheriff In the Indian
Territory, which position he held dur
ing the years of 1895 and 1899. On
December 18th, 1900, he was appointed
deputy county clerk of Anderson
county, which position he filed with
marked fidelity and ability until the
date of his death.
On June 18th, 1901, he was happily
married to Miss Effie May Robertson
OF Dallas, and the issue OF his marriage
was son, Ganaway Parks Addington,
Jr., who was born May 18th, 1903. he
was Mason and Woodman and in
his every day life carried with him and
exemplified the high teachings and
tenets of the orders.
Parks Arlington was in every sense
a manly man, and he was exemplary,
as citizen he was just, as an officer
he was faithful, as son he was duti-
ful, as husband he was true, and as a
father he was indulgent; his virtues
were many and his vices were few. He
was obedient to authority, devoted to
duty, charitable to the faults of others
and friend TO the poor and oppressed.
Resolved, therefore, that in the
death of Parks Addington Palestine
and Anderson county have lost a su-
perb citizen, this court a faithful Of
ficer, his mother devoted son, his
wife loving husband, and his son an
indulgent father.
Resolved, That a page of the min
utes of the district court be set aside
for the recording OF these resolutions,
and copy hereof be furnished by the
clerk of this court to the mother and
widow of the deceased.

pected here today, but the Japanese
did not appear in force. A reconnoi-
tering party, however, exchanged
shots with the enemy's scouts, and
later was driven of, leaving two dead
on the field.
Tomorrow will probably determine
whether or not the Japanese are
strong enough to take Vafangow.
