Prominent Visitors.

The itinery of the Missouri Pacific
Immigration Bureau will include Pal
estine, and they will reach this city on
a special train May %, at 2:3O, and the
train will remain here until o'clock,
going north. This is a very important
body, and will embrace the immigra-
ton hustlers of this great railway COM
pany. Palestine citizens should turn
out to meet them, and arrange to give
them suitable entertainment. These
are the kind of people that should be
favorably impressed, for they are in
positions to send people down here
who are seeking Texas homes. The
Herald suggests that a meeting be
called of our citizens at an early date
to arrange for entertaining them with
perhaps a banquet and drive over
the city.

ter of the tobacco industry, and Pales-
tine is the logical center for handling
this business.
The Herald will state right here that
MIR. Hinson was not talking for publi-
cation, and these hints are merely
thrown out with the hope that our
railroad and citizens will expert them
selves in manner to give encourage
ment to this great industry. Mr.. Hin
son also said that the Southern Pacific
was extending every courtesy and
making every effort to stimulate this
industry along its lines.
The gentleman also gives this in
formation, which should be gratifying
to our people: He has received some
information as to what the forthcom-
ing government bulletin will contain
regarding the Texas filler tobacco, af-
ter the first few years experiments
around Nacogdoches. The bulletin is
now in the press, and when it is sent
out he says it will be a revelation The
gist of the report is that it will show
that all the claims that have been set
forth by the enthusiasts have been
verified, and that their claims for a
superior filler tobacco are fully war
ranted, and that Uncle Sam is going
to back them up. A filler tobacco
equal in every respect to the Cuban
article has been and is being grown in
East Texas. This will undoubtedly
mean millions added to the wealth of
East Texas before many years, and
the greatest benefit will rebound to
those sections that take hold early and
push the new industry.

Mr.. HINS0N TALKS ON TOBACCO.

Mr.. w. NJ. Hinson, the government
tobacco expert, left today for Nacog-
doches, to meet a number of tobacco
examiners and experts from the north
and east, among them being repre-
sentatives of Taussig & Co. of Chicago
and Florida, who will locate a big
warehouse and tobacco packing house
in East Texas.
When asked if these parties will visit
Palestine, he said he did not know,
and intimated that the citizens and the
railroad company here thus far have
shown an indifference to this very inn
portant move that was little short of
surprise to him. The crop in this
county is progressing fine, the acreage
is increasing every day, and the grow
ers are taking a great interest in the
matter, but so far no steps have been
taken to show that Palestine desires
this very important packing house,
that would soon mean thousands of
dollars to this section, and would make
Palestine tobacco headquarters for East
Texas, perhaps for all time to come.
He stated to the Herald man that with
a little courtesy extended, in the way
of an invitation, and perhaps little
insistance from the railroad officials,
this party could be induced to visit
Palestine, and he feels confident that
should they visit the city they could
be interested in the packing PROPOSE
ton and warehouse for Palestine.
Wr. Hinson is especially DESTROYS of
locating this enterprise here, for in his
opinion this is geographically the CEN

Advertising Pays.

Mr.. John Young, in charge of the
ware rooms of the /. & G.. n. freight
office, is thoroughly convinced that
advertising pays, as an investment of
so cents in Herald want ad brought
him big returns. Some days ago
someone without permission took a
box Of valuable books from the freight
room consigned to preacher living in
this county. They we're religious
books. Mr.. Young was satisfied they
ln ~ q - - 1t was suggested that
an ad req nesting rnsir- fsrurn might might
secure a clue to them. SO the ad was
inserted, asking the gentleman who
took the books out Shy mistake" to
return them The books were not
returned, but the ad met the eye of a
gentleman in an adjoining county who
knew of negro preacher over there
buying such lot of books from a
Palestine man for the small sum of
$3.50. The Palestine man was traced
up, and claimed he found the books
near his home where they had been
opened and abandoned. As he is re-
garded as a straight man his story is
believed. He states that he made in
quiry about the books, and could
find no owner for them. Then he de-
eided to sell them, as he had no earth
ly use for them. The books will be
returned. No clue has been secured
as to who stole them from the depot.
