EAST TEXAS EDITOR IAMENIS.
Why The Panhandle is Far Ahead of His
Sleepy Community.


these days, and the work of the
last few years has begun to re.
suit in rich harvest of publicity
and new citizens. The Panhandle
is now one of the best advertised
and one of the most popular sec
tons in the union. Eastern
Texas people have walked up to
the fact that we of the Panhandle
are outstripping them, not by a
neck, but by many lengths. AS
a result much is being written
by eastern Texas editors on this
subject. Here is "a sample from
the Grand Saline Sun, and it is
interesting reading for the peo-
pie of the Panhandle:
One thing that impressed us
most among all of the great at
fractions at the Dallas fair was
the splendid exhibits of farm,
and orchard products from West
Texas and the Panhandle coun-
try. In looking about in agri-
cultural hall we found only one
East Texas county represented
by an exhibit-Nacogdoches.
Evidently Nacogdoches has an
enterprising set of people, the
only public-spirited bunch in
East Texas. 1t appears that
way to US. 1t is no puzzle to US
why hundreds of our farmers
are moving to West Texas and
the Panhandle every year, when
we understand that every indi-
vidual in those sections is
booster. They advertise their
country and show what they pro-
duce to the best advantage. No
wonder at all that the discomfort
ed East Texas farmer picks up
his belongings and hikes West
when he sees such fine exhibits
at the Dallas fair from those
sections and none from East
Texas. It's no use saying that
we can beat them on nearly every
thing grOwn-moSt people have
to be shown. and we fail to do it.
What's the use for a newspaper
to talk for and boost its section
when the peple fail to back it up?
All, well, after all, What's the
use?'
The poor fellow is almost dis
cOuraged and has reached that
weepy point of what's the use"
Well there isno use for Eastern
Texas editors to "whoop up"
their country when the people
are content to drag along the
same old way they have been do,
ing since the days of the Texas
republic. The times call for
greater things, and that section
of the moral vineyard which
fails to get up and hustle and
let the world know it on the map
will enter the dead class and re-
main there.
While Eastern Texas is not so
favored a land as the Panhandle,
yet its people could accomplish
far more in the worlds busy
work than they are doing if they
would make the effort. The
man from elsewhere who makes
a visit to eastern Texas and then
comes to Western Texas finds
the contrast so great in favor of
Western Texas that this country
gets his citizenship and his in
vestment; and he Immediately
joins the boomer society in the
interest of the great Panhandle.
We are not the whole earth
out here yet we are a large part
thereof and are doing some
things which other portions of
the state and the South emulate
to their advantage. 1t is better,
however, for the population of
Eastern Texas to leave the mos
quitoes, the chills, the buck
ague, the aligators, the negroes
and the yellow iaundice and head

Thanksgiving in America.

found one of the first acts OF
gratefulness by the early set,
tiers. The festival began about
a year after the landing of the
Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, on
Nov. y, 1920, that the Mayhower
with 102 Pilgrims landed and
first set foot on the American
soil at Cape Cod This voyage
consumed about ten times the
amount of time it now requires
to cross the Atlantic, and the
poem of Mrs. Hemans that so
many of us learned in childhood,
was no exageration of the storm
attending them in their flight
across the sea The breaking
waves dashed high" In about
one year after this landing, Gov
ernor William Bradford, second
governor. proclaimed the season
of Thanksgiving in this country.
The exact date is not certain, but
the fact it was an "open-air
feast" and that it was in graft
tude for grain and fruits of the
year, is evident that it must
have occurred in the lovely east
ern period of balmy calm, cold
air, and soft sunshine, which is
called Indian summer, and count
ed from the last week in October
to the last week of November,
this seems to have been a con-
tinuation of such a feast in Eng
land.
Edward Winslow, whose name
is the third as a signer to the
original compact in the cabin of
the Maytlower and who was
thrice made governor, 1888, 1886
and 1914, writes an account of
such feast of good things, adj
dressed to George Morton on
Dec. II, 1921, his words are as
follows:
You should understand that
in the little time that a few of US
have been here. we have built
seven dwelling houses and four
for the use of the plantation, and
have made preparation for divers
others. We set the last spring
some twenty acres of Indian
corn and sowed some six acres
of barley and peas and accord
ing to the manner of the Indians
we MANFRED our grounds with
behring's or rather shads, which
we have in great abundance and
take with ease at our doors.
Our corn did prove well; and
God be praised, we had a good
increase of Indian corn, and our
barley Indifferent good, but our
peas not worth the gathering, for
we feared they were too late
down. They came up very well
and blosSomed, but the sun
parched them in the blossom.
Our harvest being gotten in, our
governor sent four men on fol-
lowing that we might, after a
special manner rejoice together
after we had gathered the fruit
of our labors. The four in one
day killed as many fowl or with
a little help besides served the
company almost a week, at
which time, amongst other re-
creations we exercised our arms,
many of the Indians coming
amongst us and among the rest
their greatest king Massasoit,
with some unity men, who for
three days we entertained and
Toasted, and they went out and
killed five deer, which they
brought to the plantation and
bestowed on our governor and
on the captain and the others.
And although it is not always
so plentiful as it was at this time
with US, yet by the goodness of
God, we are so far from want,

and painting will make a ready appeal.
But the gifts may not be too acute.
Then they will simply show themselves
in taste and refinement. That young
gentleman or little lady will never
make a guy of him or herself by
atrocious lack of taste in personal
adornment
Very many people are troubled as
