CALL ME GEORGE.

The real origin of the greatest fake
hero story ever told has come to light
in a scrap book owned by an old
resident of Washington, according to
| the Star.
A group of revolutionary heroes
were standing before an old bar in
Washington, and from the lips of each
| there fell wonderous stories of what
| he had done in the shock of battle or
the frenzy of the charge. Finally one
old fellow with long white whiskers
remarked:
81 was personally acquainted with
George Washington.
81 was lying behind the breast
works one day pumping lead into the
Britishers, when / heard the patter of
horses hoofs behind me. Then
came voice:
eli, there! You with the deadly
aim! Look here moment
81 looked around and saluted, recog-
nizing General Washington, and he
said:
What's your nance
Hogan said.
f'Your first name%
"'Pat, sir-Pat Hogan
Well. Pat he said, go home.
You're killing too many men,
"T think I'd better get few more,
General. said kind of apologetic
No, he said; you've kille6 too
many It's slaughter. And, Pat, don't
call me General; call me George!'"
DR.. Cook may have faxed all right,
he may be an artist in his line, but

most unheard of prices. The result
has been to leave the section in a
most prosperous condition. This is
not only true as direct result, but
the circumstance has also turned
many anxious eyes toward East Texas.
and it is predicted that the next few
months will witness a great influx of
good people into East Texas. This
will mean more farmers, more lands
in cultivation, and more permanent
prosperity.
Present conditions, with the high
prices on almost all necessities, make
farm life more attractive, and the
farmer is becoming more and more
the most Independent man in the
world. In the first place he has been
able for some time now to command
top prices for all of his products, and
yet he can get along with smaller
store account than any of us. An in
dustrious man, cultivating his own
lands, can come pretty near making
his living without having to buy over
the counter, and while saving in this
way can produce for the market the
things that bring him good money.
As to Palestine, the outlook here,
too, is good. The business people
have done a good business, and are in
good shape for the coming year. Our
people as a class are contented, and
most all of us feel deep interest in
the future of our town, and are striv-
ing to improve conditions.
The Herald extends a word of good
hope and wishes for all prosperous
and happy New Year.

can be done by prohibitory laws.
however rigid.
Such action reveals that those who
so legislate have realized the harmful
effect of indulgence in alcoholic
liquor, and appreciate the evils which
flow from the traffic. Deliberate ac-
ton, taken without excitement or
emotion, will have far-reaching and
long-enduring effect.-Houston Chron-
icle.
The plain fact is that drinking is
no longer the fashion. For several
reasons it has dawned on many peo-
pie that it is neither profitable nor
very respectable to drink, and they
have cut it out. Too, many men
have found their employment hinges
on the ability to use intricate machin-
cry and keep clear head, and they
have found that intoxicants do not
help in keeping clear head. AS
the science of labor progresses, as
more perfect machinery comes into
use, and as better skill is demanded,
liquor will grow less and less pop
ular until no man who hopes to take
a responsible standing in the profess
sions or the trades can afford to as
sociate with old barley corn.

The law forbidding the manufacture
of intoxicating beverages within the
state of Tennessee went INTO effect at
midnight last night, and all of. the
breweries and distilleries have shut
down. The new law will be tested in
the courts. This is one of the most
stringent prohibition laws ever enact
ed. Some of the wet states stand a
show to get some of these enter
prises. However, it may be that none
will want to come to Texas, for this
territory is considered very uncertain
to the whiskey industry. And it may
prove to be.

This change in public sentiment

The head of that great organiza-
