Half the Negro
Out to Say Good-bye
The negro is demonstrative. This
was again demonstrated today, when
half the negro population turned out
to say good-bye to the seventy-five
drafted negroes,' who left for a camp
at San Antonio. And there were
hand-shakings, shoutings, crying and
wailing, and “gnashing of teeth,” as
it were. Yes, they are demonstra-
tive.
It was a busy scene around the
station. Train No. 3 came in from
the north, in two sections, the second
section being a troop train of white
regulars. The first section brought
a
two cars of negroes, from Texarkana.
And a few bther drafted negroes
were picked up along the way. And
when the second section pulled out,
after much deay, it was made up of
the several cars of regulars from Jef-
ferson Barracks, and four cars of ne-
groes.

Following the dinner, the boy
pert was introduced, and for quite
while Mr.- Atkinson held his aui
by telling some of the things
are .being done for boys all over th«
country. The visitor had posted him
self on many Palestine matters, and
told us quite a bit about our own
town, as to valuations and interests,
and then declared that our greatest
assets are our boys and girls. Ia the
course of his comments he .took occa-
sion to say he had found in the per-
son of County Judge Mills Q. Reeves
a very extraordinary juvenile judge,
who was a most valuable asset to the
community. Summing up his splen-
did address, Mr. Atkinson urged the
men and women of Palestine to de-
vote themselves to the work of tak-
ing care of the boys, to give their
co-operation to all of the agencies
that have for their missions the better-
ment of the boys. At the conclusion
of his talk, he was warmly congratu-
lated.
The meeting of the club was attend-
ed by some seventy-five members and
their ladies, and guests, and all en-
joyed the evening to the fullest.
Secretary Richardson' is due the
thanks of the club for his untiring
efforts to make the meeting a suc-
cess, and all attest that he succeeded
admirably.

great many other concerns, are con-
fronted by a condition, and to stay
in business theytmust ask the public
to subscribe to the slight increase
that the entertainments may be con-
tinued. The picture show men have
again and again been thanked by gov-
ernment officials for loaning their
houses for announcements and gov-
erment speakers, and they are still
ready to co-operate in every good
way possible, but they must at the
same time meet their bills and they
cannot do this on the old prices.

Refund Claims.
Austin, Texas, Oct. 31.—Hundreds
of checks covering refund claims have
just been mailed out by the state
highway commission to various per-
sons throughout the state. No claims
against the commission for refund on
account of error can be made unless
it is presented in proper manner and
sworn to by the claimant. This is
the reason there has been a large
accumulation of these claims, many
of which had to be returned.
These errors in practically all
cases have now been corrected and
the claims are being paid. The law
under which the commission is oper-
ating is entirely new, consequently
there has been much delay in getting
the claims in proper shape.

George Belcher has joined the Her-

the article in a recent issue of the
Herald concerning the budding of
thin shell walnuts to black walnut
stock, Mr. Belcher brought us nuts
that he had produced by this process.
He says they are as fine eating nut
as any one could wish for, and that
the experiment he made in this way

has proven very successful. In addi-

Mr. Belcher also has a number, some
seven or eight, pecan trees that are
now bearing very large pecans. The
specimens he brought to the Herald
office are as large as we have ever
seen, and the flavor Is very fine. Mr.
Belcher is convinced that there la
