A DAILY LESSON IN HISTORY
One Hundred Yeare Ago Today
1815— Sir Henry Wentworth Acland,
distinguished Epglish physician,
who in 1860 accompanied the
Prince of Wales to America as
his medical attendant, born. Died
October 16, 1900.
Seventy-Five Year* Ago T#day.
1840—Gen. Thomas Hinds, who dis-
tinguished himself at the battle
of New Orleans and in later life
was a congressman from Missis-
sippi, died at Greenville, Miss.
Born in 1775.
Fifty Year* Ago Teday.
1865—It was reported in Washington
that the president would grant a
pardon to Alexander H. Stephens.
Twenty-Five Yeara Ago Today.
1890—The U. a. cruiser Baltimore
sailed from New York with the
remains of John Ericsson, for fi-
nal interment near his birthplace
in Sweden.
One Year Ago Today.
fpl—1The Germans destroyed three
of She Namur forts and the city
* was evacuated by the allies; Jap-
an commenced hostilities with
Germany; the Germans took
Luneville and Nancy in their cam-
' paign to force the French out of
Lorraine; Serbian artillery sank
eight troop-laden Austrian trans-
ports.
County Demostrator Gentry is to
occupy his time this week organizing
marketing associations in Anderson
county, and opened his campaign
along this line at Elkhart this after-
noon. He expects to visit all sec-
tions of the county as fast as he can
get to such appointments and confer
with the people concerning the mar-
keting of their products. In carry-
ing out this .plan Mr. Gentry is ask-
ing for the fullest co-operation of all
the people of the county, and surely
if any question ever appealed to the
people of the farms and to the busi-
ness communities this should, as our
marketing problems are among our
most serious affairs.
Mr. Gentry announces that he will
meet the growers and business men
of Palestine and this precinct on
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock in
the court house auditorium and he
i asks for a representative attendance
I to discuss the marketing problems.
If you are interested, and you cer-
j tainly are, you should be in the

State Commissioner of Labor
Woodman has issued an address to
the laboring people of the state ad-
vising them to keep away from Gal-
veston, Houston, Texas City and
other storm districts, declaring there
is no work in these places for out-
side people, and that an influx of
extra men will only increase the
burden on these already heavily
taxed cities. He says if any de-
mand for labor arises later he will
promptly notify those concerned. *
j But Ohio is not alone in; this eco- j
nomic affliction; it is nation-wide.
And the young generation, between
! the ages of ten and eighteen, in an j
all-over-the-nation, fiplendidly organ-
ized club movement, under the di-
■ rection of the X. nited States depart-
! ment of agriculture, is going to pull
the country up and out of its dilem-

The difference between a well-kept
town and one that looks in disorder
is not always in the appearance of
private premises, but more often in
the by-ways and highways and va-
I cant lots and little vacant spaces
about the town. When these are
negleced it is impossible to make a
town look good. And these are the
places that are usually neglected.

Goyernor Ferguson has issued an
• appeal for help for the storm victims
in the country districts of the coast
country visited by last week’s big
storm. Houston, Galveston and the
other larger towns in the storm belt
have announced that they need no
outside aid, but all over the country
down there are families and commu-
nities that have been left in bad
condition, and help is needed by
these people. Without intruding, the
Herald will.be glad to receive funds

In a town the size of Palestine it
takes the combined patronage of all
lovers of the national game to
port and maintain a team, and the
management of a team should strive
to please as nearly all of the fans as
possible, that the game may he self-
sustaining. Week day baseball com-
mands the support of practically all
of tbe fans, but when Sunday games
are introduced a great host of the
supporters of the game are driven
away, and the chances for success
are cut in half. There may be those
who will deny this opinion, but re-
sults will affirm it. There is no de-
nying that a very large per cent of
the people here are opposed to Sun-
day baseball, and when Sunday
games are forced on the town these
people withdraw their support and
refuse to attend even on week days.
The Herald had been, led to believe
there wmild be no further effort here
to play Sunday ball, and is exceed-
inaly sorry, for the interest of' the
game among other reasons, that Sun-
day games have been introduced.
The season is practically at an end
now. and the present team maj
weather through without the support
of the element opposed to Sunday
ball, but the next effort to get funds
for a local team is going to have to
answer for the Sunday games. Many
people, if they agre» to contribute at
all, will insist on having a written 1
contract avowing that no games will ,
he played on Sunday. If the pro-
moters of the game insist on' Sunday
games then those favoring such
games will have -to take entire care
of financing a team here.

There is nothing in the way now
of going right ahead and cleaning up
this good old town. The men should
give this work their special attention
and thus win the approval of the la-
dies of the Civic league. A clean
town is a joy beside being a safe-
guard aerainst sickness.

who went to the coast country to

were rei>orted drowned at San Leoir,
wired A. M. Cohen Sunday, saying
that he had found his people and
that they were safe. Mrs. S. H. Smith
and daughters, Mrs. Grey Harris and
Miss Harriet Smith of Houston,
were visiting in San Leon, and after
the storm they were published as
among those who had been drowned
or were missing. The son and broth-
er here was very much distressed
and went immediately in search of
his relatives. Saturday afternoon late
a message was received here saying
that the three ladies were dead, but
Mr. Smith’s message came later, and
brought relief to friends of the fam-
ily here.
