Oh, bark On, heart So sweet, so clear,
The trills of wild canaries here.
On graceful wings they gather near,
Like bounding waves, the darlings dear,
1t is the time of summer Ger;
Autumn fingers near the door.
Come see and watch the airy fleet
Come dipping down through hazy heat,
To thistle heads to preen and eat.
"Tee dee" they call in accents sweet
1t is the time of summer Ger
Autumn fingers by the door,
Oh see them rise for Southern flight
Soft, yellow balls of living light;
Gay, twittering calls from birdlings bright;
Aerial chorus, blissful sight
IL is the summer DER,
Autumn waits before the door.
Oh soon Wen miss their passings near
Their CHEEKY lays to summer dear;
Their golden tribute to the year;
Ere blade and leaf and flower are scar,
1t is the time of summer DER.
Autumn stands within the door.

w. NJ. HAMILTON

At the threshold of new year The
Herald feels more able than ever to
battle for Palestine and Anderson
county. The progress Of the paper
has been little short of marvellous in
town that had come to be regarded
as a newspaper graveyard. To make
clear to the reader just what has been
accomplished it will be necessary, and
therefore pardonable, to relate a bit
of the personal history and experience
of its founders and the men who now
preside over its destinies.
My brother partner and l worked
with our father, the late H. " Hamil-
ton, Sr., from early boyhood until
was twenty-seven years of age, in the
publication of the old Tyler Democrat
Reporter At that age l withdrew
from this publication, and without
ever cef=SSs- one dollar AS
salary l went to Houston and for a
brief few months engaged as adver-
Using manager for a publication that
had a short career. In the meantime
my brother, H. " Hamilton, Jr., two
years my junior, on what credit he
could command, engaged in the COM
merical printing business, turning the
newspaper property over to our father
and a younger brother; and on sus-
pension of the paper on which l work
ed, returned to Tyler, and Joined
him in his new enterprise.
In less than five years we had &C
cumulated property, mainly printing
plant and personal, invoicing nearly
$4,000.
Being caught in the local panic that
visited Tyler some few years ago, and
in which two banks closed their doors,
and some thirty-seven other failures
ensued, business was so demoralized
that the plant was moved to Pales-
tine; and after a few brief months
here a most promising proposition
from Monterey parties for daily
newspaper and commercial job plant
was considered and accepted, and the
move was made to that Mexico city
One year of uninterrupted prosperity
was enjoyed there, when two consum-
mate scoundrels, one a vice consul
of the British government and the
other an American fugitive from jus
tice, who were instrumental in get
ting us down there, taking advantage
of our ignorance of Mexican law, and
of them, and who controlled by lease
the building our plant occupied, tried
to trick us out of our property. ! am

of different sizes, according to the ditch
in which they are to be used, their di-

width of the ditch, as the edges must
be pushed down little way into the

They are placed in the ditch at or near

used in the openings in the banks of
bitches, either to close them when the

and still permit part of the stream to
enter the check to balance the soaking
