last night and It proved to be one ot
the social successes of the season A

men into the same lodge and on the

sixty composed of some of the best
men and women in the city who are
very enthusiastic for its success and
it is destined to become one of the
largest lodges in the city within a-
very short time It writes one ot the
most attractive policies ot any order

it provides protection in the way of
accident permanent disability and old

the
Special to the Herald
Brushy Creek May 14 We do
not have much to write about these
days People are very busy with
their farms and do not go around
much There are some chills around
yet and the fact Is the weather had
a continued case of chills last week
but I think It is convalescing now
The little cotton like the negros
cat fish kinder swunk up but a few
warm days will put It to the good
again Corn is looking very well
Gardens are generally good and are
now furnishing the menu Tor most of
the farmers tables
Schools are all out and the kids
are finding employment on the farms
Entertainments are to be heard of
all around and are of various kinds
picnics dances socials etc
Fagin Is very busy these days try-
ing to keep out of the way of the
candidates and has in the main sue
ceeded very well but occassional he
will get up against a poor unsuspectr
lng candidate and then he Is forced
to get bpek into his old habit or prom-
ising more than he can perform
When he quit the sawmill business he
decided to quit lying and he gets on
very well until primary election year
then he does not succeed so well He
wants to get rid of the candidate and
leave him feeling good for we know
he will feel so dreadfully bad after
the election
We went to Tom Campbells open-
ing at Athens and there wo saw the
biggest lot of real live Campbellltes
corporation literature Influence
them in making up their mind in re-
gard as to who they will vote for for
governor With Tom Campbell as
governor and a legislature to act
with him Texas should and would
take on a big lot of new life But
when we think of the past and think
of all the things that we as a people the matter
have gone through we are bound to As soon as the
conclude that the state has a large Creek closed Prof

Our neighbor Henderson county
voted recently on the proposition of
having a county superintendent of
public instruction but very unthought
ediy In the mind of the writer voted
down the proposition The legisla-
ture should take this matter up and
by some means have It so that when
a county becomes itopulous enough It
would have this Important olllcial
without having to vote on the matter
Just as the county and district clerks
office Is severed and the sheriffs and
collectors office The county Judge
cannot give the public schools the at-
tention that the law contemplates he
should but they generally manage to
gel all the pay that there is In It
without doing the work This Is not

amount of vitality or she would have
long since gone the way of all the
world God grant that there may be
better days In store for this glorious
old state for which so many grand
and noble men gave up their lives and
their all that we might enjoy the Im-
munity from oppression But if wo
are to judge the future by the past
the picture Is dnrk indeed but let us
be hopeful and vigillant It seems
that corruption of all kind stalks
abroad In open day that men who
have spent the best years of their
lives in humble homes honored and
respected by their neighbors sojn
fall from this high estate when they
ty hasfcome home as her school was
out txraor three weeks ago and Miss
who has been attend-
ing scljpol at Slocuui has come home
Bothjof them and tnelr brother Claud
Emfefadn will attend he normal at
Palestine
I would be truly glad that more of
tho old correspondents would rally
and wrlte occassional as that is
one feature of the Herald that most
evary bne admired
Crfttle buyers have been quite nil
morcJtis this spring and a big lot of
cattlejias been sent out of the coun-
try Col Walter Scarborough has a
big lotsome four hundred head on
hand In his pasture now and will on
tomorrow ship out some two hundred
hend that he has sold to a Mr Wil-
liams from Lorena Texas They will
bo shipped from Poynor
Quito a lot of the young men around
Poynor have got Into a lot of trouble
lately In defiance of the law and the
severe ponalty attached to same they
still persist In carrying a gun Sev-
eral deputy sheriffs have been ap
pointetl at that place to try to Veep
the peace but they seemed to have
failed Recently they have found one
who had some regard for his oath of
office and he proceeds to go after
the boys hence the trouble and some
ot them can from personal experience

J
tell you what kind of a Jail that Hen
derson county has and how they feed
the prisoners This is rather a sad
school but It has been said that there
is a class of persons that will not
learn at any other
We think that If we could ever get
the railroad people to look over this
country we could get them Interested
and we believe that a road could be
built through here about as easy as
any other portion of the county While
there are a great many hills there are
gaps through all of them and it would
pay some city that wants to manufac
ture Iron to get here and ship out the
millions of tons of iron ore that cover
these hills It does seem that as a
feeder for Palestine a road from
there up through this country on to
Frankston or some other point on the
T N O railway would be a paying
proposition While these people are
all poor they would donate part of
their lands in order to get a road
through here knowing that the in
hancement in value of the remaining
lands would amply pay them back for
all these donations We not only have
Iron ore but coal clay of superior
quality and a sand stone that would
be a fine building stone
As I have told all I know and more
too I expect I will quit for this time
