FINISHING UP THE CROP
Last of Tobacco Is Being BaIed,
Ready For Shipment-Big Pack
ing House For Palestine.

Two days ago a Herald man visit
ed the John Hearne tobacco packing
house, and found Mr.. Olsen, the ex-
pert, and helpers, baling the tobacco
and getting it ready for shipment.
Mr.. Olsen is very enthusiastic over
the crop and over the future outlook.
He says the packing houses now on
a small scale will spring into one of
the greatest of industries soon; that
instead of working from twenty to
fifty people each, that they will be
working from five to six hundred. He
thinks the success of the crop is as
sured beyond any possible doubt.
The quality of the tobacco has been
fully tested, and the United States
government has pronounced it the
best yet produced in America.
In this section men with the means
to establish a reputation and mar
ket for the crop are interested, and
the interest is growing form year to

on the first stage of its long trip for
British South Africa
The arrangements for the trip at
this end have been practically COM

the hunting and exploring trip on the

details of the preparations for the
trip into the interior, will have the
required camping outfit, provisions
and carriers ready by the time the
other members of the expedition come

The expedition, the principal object
of which is to obtain specimens of the
large and small animals inhabiting
Central Africa and rapidly becoming
scarce with the progress of civiliza-
ton in those regions. These speci-
ments will be shot by Mr.. Roosevelt
and the other members of the expe-
dition, temporarily prepared and cured
for shipment and are intended later
to become part of the collection of
the National Museum in Washington
The expedition is sent out under the
auspices of the Smithsonian Institu-

members of the party and furnished
the necessary supplies, apparatus, in

FINE SPECIMENS OF MARL
Mr.. w. P. McInnis Has Found Large
Vein of Green Mari on His
Place Near the City.

Mr.. w. P. McInnis was in the city
this morning, showing some fine spec
linens of green mari. He says he
struck the vein in digging a well, at
the depth of about eleven feet, and
that he has dug into the mari about
five feet, and that it gets better all
the time. This mari is of very
dark green color, full of shell lime,
has an odor to it, and is said to be
exceptionally good for fertilizer. The
gentleman thinks he has made val
liable find, and the Herald believes
he has. The farm is about three
miles from the city.

STILL BUILDS
New Houses Going UP On All Sides
and Builders Are Busy-obser-
vations BY jerks.

Like some other Palestine men, Mr..
J. H. Benton seems to aim to build
him town of his own. In a recent
issue we mentioned that Mr.. Benton
was having a new house built on
Lacy street. He is also having a
modern new house built on the lot
that formerly was occupied by Hon
A. G. Greenwood's home, which burn
ed few months ago. We understand
that Mr. Benton also contemplates
some extensive improvements on his
home place on Lacy street.
In our recent write-up of the build
ing activity we mentioned that con-
siderable improvement had been made
on Lacy street, near where Queen
street begins. In addition to the
five new houses recently built along
there, another is being added. 1t is
that of City Marshal Conrad Perry
1t is situated on the corner of Queen
and Lacy streets. Palestine people
acquainted with this part of the city
know the significance of this. To
those who may not be familiar with
this part of town we will say that this
means the passing of the last of the
little huts that formerly occupied
these lots. Contractor Mcintyre is
putting Mr.. Perrys house in shape.

these: The home of Walter r. Smith
on Reagan street is being remodeled.
The plan of the house will be some
what changed, besides being repaint-
ed. Contractor Henry Redfern is do
ing the work for Mr.. Smith.
The home of Engineer Will Lyme,
on Reagan street, has recently been
reprinted. 1t looks good, too. White
& Gordon are the contractors who did
the work.
The repainting administered to the
home of Mrs. j. B. Allen on North
Sycamore street makes it look like a
city set on a hill, but it's a house.
Davis & Hume are the contractors
who did this splendid work.
Geo. Whitley's home on Dallas
street, which was damaged by fire a
few months ago, is being repaired. ].
B. Wynne has the contract.
Mr.. E. E. Durham has sold his
home on Church street to District
Clerk John Moore, and has bought
the old Snow home on Perry street
He is having it remodeled. 1t already
looks like new home.

would we have a big school every

Would we have any new scholars !?
Would we have any visitors? Would
the members of our family out of

a good school, an organized school, a

We should have a thousand members
