New Tailoring Business.

Messrs. A ]. Michel and H. Don
aghue, late of Dallas, are preparing
to open up a tailoring business or
Main street, in the north end of the
building occupied by the Copeland
Jewelry Store.

years ago, in fact left this city just
nineteen years ago, going to Tyler.
From Tyler he went to Dallas, where
he did business for number of years.
Now he comes back to his early love,
Palestine. Michel is a good tailor,

he ever wore-a dress suit that was
the envy of all who saw it. 1t cost
well he is ashamed to say what it
cost-more than any suit he is able
to sport now, being married man.
But Michel is all right, and the new
firm will do good business in Pal

LOYAL DEMOCRATS WILL VOTE

1t is too often the case in Texas
where the democratic majority is con
sidered as brutal by the opposition
that interest in a state campaign
ends with the primaries, for a nomina
ton on the democratic ticket is about
equivalent to an election. Therefore
many democrats fail to vote at the
general election. This apathy on the
part of democrats, in some districts,
has led to the election of, republicans
or Independents to office. But this
does not often happen.
Now, it is the duty of all good citi-
zens to vote. 1t is especially the duty
OF democrats to vote, because the
basis of representation in national af-
fairs is on the popular vote. But this
is not all Every democrat voting in
the primary pledged himself to sup
port the nominees. To fail to vote
the citizen violates this pledge; he
stultifies himself; he helps to let
down the bars to the enemy; he in
vites congress to cut down southern
epresentation-a thing that was tried
at the last session of congress.
If you fail to vote you neglect to
exercise that most blessed privilege
of free-born citizen; you help to
cut down the democratic majority;
you lend encouragement to the en-
envy; you violate the sacred obliga-
ton you took upon yourself at the
primary.
Loyal democrats will not fail to
vote, and vote the ticket straight,
without scratch. Now, please re
member this when election day rolls
around, and let no trivial excuse
keep you from the polls.

PLEASE CUT 1T OUT.

There are a very small handful of
Palestine men who fell out with the
Herald because of its attack on the
Union Central land swindle, and now
that they are convinced the Herald
was right, and that it was honestly
and sincerely protesting against a
swindle that no honest man could en-
dorse, they still pretend to be mad.
But they are not mad; they are just
ashamed of themselves. That is all.
The Herald offers the palm leaf, and
would have them come across and be
friends. 1t accorded to them the
right to judge for themselves, and
they were wrong. Please cut out the
foolishness. and let's get busy for
Palestine. The good old town needs
the help of all.

90 MILES THROUGH AIR.
Picturesque Balloon Trip Was Ended
Last Night.

Lunenhurg, Mass, Nov. 7.--After
passing over ninety miles of country
the balloon "Pittsfeld in the Heart of
the Berkshires," which assembled in
Pittsfield yesterday afternoon with Will
liam Van Sleet Of that city as pilot,
and William G. Hill of Boston, as pas
scnger, came TO earth safely three miles
east of this village early last evening.
The trip was an interesting one, the
balloon passing at one time through
severe snow fall and later going above
the storm clouds, to height of 5000
feet, where the sun and moon were
plainly visible, west and east, while
the squall ragged below.
1t making the descent it was neees-
sary to use the rip cord to let the gas
out Of the great bag, and the car of the
balloon was bumped violently against
the side of hill several times before it
finally landed. The two men in the
car. however, were not injured.
The balloon was sent up from Aero
park in Pittsfeld at 2:45 o'clock. 1t
carried $50 pounds of ballast. Borne
eled in the direction of Greenfield, pass
ing over that town and crossing the
Connecticut river at Deerfeld. Later
it passed over Templeton and Gardner,
where the ear was travelling so low
that the occupants held magaphone
conversation with the people in the viii
iage The course after that was be-
tween Fitchburg and Leominster BY
that time the sun had set, but the
moon was shining brightly and the
contour of the land below could be
easily made out.
Mr. Van Sleet was hopeful of reach
ing the coast somewhere near Boston,
but after they had proceeded few
miles beyond Leominster, the moon
went under the clouds, and on account
of the darkness they decided to land.

A DOUBTFUL EXPERIMENT.
Mr.. Piper Put Billiard Ball in His
Mouth--Much Trouble Followed.

A. D. " Piper, one of the State House
attaches, whose home is in Jamaica, this
state, made bet while in the Apollo
club rooms at Montpelier last night that
he could put billiard ball in his mouth.
His bet was taken up and Mr.. Piper
proceeded to fulfill his part of the obli-
cation. He had to stretch his mouth
considerably to receive the billiard ball,
but was not greatly inconvenienced
When he came to try to extract the ball
it was different story. Those who
have placed an apple in their mouths
know what problem it is to remove the
apple without biting the fruit. They
perhaps can appreciate the troubles
which Mr.. Piper had with a sphere which
his teeth couldn't indent.
His own efforts proved unavailing to
remove the ball and then some of the
Others, taking alarm as his predicament,
tried to assist him, while some Of the
representatives are said TO have scurried
around after physicians. The sphere
was finally removed from Mr. Piper's
mouth without the need of a surgeon.
