You had just as well get back

want to make money from the

The CHEROKEEAN is a direct
descent of the Rusk Pioneer
Cherokee county's first newspap-
er, founded in February, 1847.
J. W. NANCE, Route 2, was a
visitor at The Cherokeean office
the other day, and we found that
we hand another strong booster
out in that section. Mr. Nance
told of how he enjoys reading our
paper and of the improvements
that have been made in the past
few months.
Mr. Nance had some old relics
that interested me very much, one
being an honorable discharge from
the Confederate army at the close
of the Civil War. It was dated
March 17 1862 and showed' that
Benjamin Nance, his grandfather,
had served and was given dis-
charge from Camp Clough.
In his hands also were two
priceres pieces—a spoon and fork
used by his grandfather on the
battle front and a pair of .spec-
tacles that were used many, many
years ago, perhaps in the days of
our great grandfather.
Those things have always inter-
ested me. As the years and genei'^
ations pass they will become more
valuable, ... p ...., 4 .
SOMEONE HAS LIED!
Without regard to this editor's
stand on the prohibition question,
to be settled August 24th, there
is one thing certain:
SOMEONE HAS LIED!
They told us that beer would
balance the budget. Today it is 4o freeze it.
in such a bad shape that they are
trying to forget the old debt and
are talking about the debt that
is to be. Mr. Roosevelt's beer pol-
icy — one of the few points on
which we disagreed early in tne
administration — has come to
naught.
Now the state liquor forces are
saying that this is a question of
economics and not a normal ques-
tion. Through the process of eli-
mination the economics side is eli-
minated because IT WILL NOT
BALANCE THE BUDGET. Don't
let any of them tell you that it
will.
It costs lots of money to run
this state — and liquor, that sub-
stance that damns, debuches, de-
generates, kills, scourages, breaks
hearts, and makes hunger, can

THE
RUSK
Cherokeean
For the information of the hiis-
torically-minded folks of this
county, here's a thumb-nail bio-
graphy of Thomas J Rusk, the
man for whom Rusk was named:
"Thomas Jefferson Rusk, one
of the great sons of Texas, was
born in South Carolina in 1803.
He was educated for t'.ie law, and
after reiroving to Georgia became
distinguished at the ea. '.y age of
29 as one of the outstanding law-
yers in that Sta*e.
"In 1835 he came to Texas and
settled in Nacogdoches. In 1836
he was elected a delegate to th§
convention at Washington-on the
Brazos, and by that body was
chosen Secretary of War of Tex-
ri« Provisional Government.
"In the Battle of San Jacinto ^
General Rusk took active and dis-
tinguished part, succeediafe Gen-
eral Houston, (who was wounded
in the battle) as commander-in-
chief of the Texas army.
"In November, 1836, he was ap-
pointed to a se<jt in the cabinet
of the Republic of Texas. The Tex-
as congress of 1838 elected him
chief-justice of the supreme court,
which .position had been vac-
ated by the death of James Col-
lingsworth.
"In 1843 Rusk was elected maj-
or-general of Sate militia. In 1845
he was made president of the con-
vention which assembled at Austin
to frame a State constitution.
"In 1846 the first legislature
of Texas, after annexation, elect-
ed him United States Senator,
which position he filled with mark-
ed ability until his death in 1857."
