expressions as Il have saw" and pro-
nOunced the word gallant gallant ~
the word violet "vOilet," besides in
forming his pupils that if they played
in the snow they would have ''am-
mOnia of the lungs" For two years
did this family try to convince their
neighbOrs that better teacher was
necessary, but without success, and
they were obliged to sell their property
and move to another place where the
children could get a common school
education.
These are only a few instances of
the cost and Inconvenience of unprO-
roads, poor bridges, poor crops and
poor schools.
A few years ago l visited a town in
an Eastern state OH business. Having
a few hours to spare, L thought of
visiting a certain noted breeder of
Jersey cattle, whose home | knew was
within twenty miles of the town, but
1 had forgotten the pOstOffice address
of this man. However, his lad" was
kept in several prominent farm papers,
and | had seen it so often that L knew
just where to look for it Not know
ing that L would ever be so near this
place again, L was anxious to take
advantage of time and nearneSS and
look at this mans famous herd. So
L went to the pOstOffice and asked
there if any one took 1.-The Country
Gentleman They thought not. L
asked for The Rural New-YOrker,"
The Farm Journal The Tribune
Farmer and several other farm pa
pers, but was Informed that none were
taken there. L could not doubt the
pOstmaster's word, for the country
showed great need of book farming.
Luckily, fell in with a man upon
the train who knew the breeder for
whom L was looking, and | got a
chance to visit him, and l found that
although only eighteen miles from the
locality L have just described, the
neighbOrhOOd was quite different. The
farms showed thrift and enterprise
and L found upon inquiry that almost
every farmer took several farm jour-
nails. l think my readers will agree
with me that home in one neighbor-
hood would be much more desirable
than a home in the other, regardless
of soil and crops
\ strong, healthy, up-tO-date young
couple may win out in a locality
where the people are behind the times;
but they will have much to contend
with. And simple ignorance is not a
vice. How much worse, then, a COM
where the people are both
ignorant and vicious? Such Il people
may have schools and churches, but
if their teachers and their preachers
are ignorant and unworthy how much
can you expect from their followers?
L sometimes think it better to have
ten acres in Il clean, honest, progress
sive neighbOrhOOd than a hundred
acres in locality whose inhabitants
lack in integrity and intelligence.

The good old precept: "a penny
saved, is worth two earned" will ap-
ply to the farmers business, probably
more than any other. 1t is the small
and numerous leaks that defy the
pumps and sink the great ship, and
it is the many small expenses of the
farm that render the business I'M
profitable unless avoided. Things are
constantly wearing out about the
farm, and unless there are facilities
for repair on the farm, in the crop
season when time is valuable the
broken article must be sent to town
for repair, the cost of the trip being
far more than that of the repair, and
the loss of time from the cultivation
or harvest of crops, many times more
than all the rest. Right here is where
the all round handy man wins out
against the one who can only do or
binary farm work With the proper
facilities at hand if a machine is
broken, i'll few minutes the iron is
welded or the broken wooden part re-
placed by new piece, and the farm
thus saved. At all times of year there
are many improvements and repairs
about the place that the farmer can
make himself at but slight outlay of
money, and therefore a well-equipped
repair shop and the skill to make re-
pairs are necessary adjuncts to sue
cessful farming.-The EpitOmist

Fortunes FavOrs.

The Beggsr Prince Comic Opera
Company reached town this morning
after long and tedious nights trip,
looking very much worn and tired,
but nevertheless easily recognized as
the same company of fsvorites that
we bsve long looked for.
In an interview with the manager
he said: Eyes, we have about the
same people we have carried so long,
with the exception of one or two, the
most important being Miss Fisher.
She is new recruit in my ranks, and
is deserving Of her position" "Do
you intend to keep up the previous
records?" he was asked. SIT is my
aim to please at every appearance,
and IL we dU not it is not because we
have not spent time and money to do
so. My players have pleased before,
and ought to again, as they have stay
ed by me through thick and thin since
our last visit to your city. We have
seen some cold weather while in Texas
this season, but it has not greatly dis
turbed us. The people of our differ
emit stands treat us very we'll, and we
have no cause to complain. We have
made many friends and are always
ready and willing for more. We are
glad to return to Palestine again, and
trust that our visit will be as much
appreciated by the residents as by our
selves. 1t is our intention to give you
the best we have while here, and will
open in The Beggsr Prince 1t is a
sparkling comedy, full of catchy mu-
sic sung by the charming voices of the
same old timers"

For County Attorney.

In this issue of the Herald will be
found the announcement of Mr.. Cam
eron NJ. Kay as a candidate for re-
election as county attorney of Ander-
son county. Mr.. Kay is now serving
his first term, and the Herald can say
without any hesitation that he has
made good county attorney. He has
devoted himself to the duties of the
Office and so far as the Herald has
heard, his duties have been performed
in such straightforward way as to
call forth little or no criticism of an
adverse character. His ability as a
prosecuting attorney is not question
ed, and he is asking for re- election on
his record since going into the office.
MIR. Kay has host of friends who will
look after his interests and who hope
to see him re- elected.

Almost a Fire.

This morning about three O'Clock
when MIR. s. N. Chapman, living at
No. 625 Tennessee Avenue, got up to
go out on the road, he made a fire in
the fire place and left it burning,
About 6 O'Clock or little later this
morning, when other members OF the
family swoke, the house was full OF
smoke, and an investigation was start
ed, and the cause soon located. A
stick of wood had burned in two and
ons end had fallen out against side
board sitting near by, and that had
caught fire, and the fire had also burn
ed into the wall of the room, and was
under good Roadway. Prompt action
and the free use of water soon had the
flames out, with only small damage.

Peach Crop is Safe.

County Commissioner John F. Nash,
one of the most successful fruit grow
ers of Eastern Texas, says he thinks
the peach cropis safe. He says the
snow and cold of the past few days he
thinks have served to check the fruit
and hold il back until the cold weather
will all be over. The outlook is good
for full fruit crop. Anderson county
has some very fine young orchards,
which, il they bear a full crop, will
bring much money into the commun-
ity.
