e here and now predict that
whatever competitors may exist in
the territory of the Nebo III Ban-
ner will soon be hanging around the
bankruptcy courts Thus the Banner
in a recent issue
A new feature that is instructive
as well as entertaining is to be added
to the Banner A list of names under
the head Sunday Drunks will be
published We are going to give fair
warning and in the issue of the Ban-
ner on July 19 you can look over the
list no one excluded
We do not understand why some of
the metropolitan papers which are
eternally on the lookout for something
novel should not have hit upon this
scheme long ago Think how much
attention this new dcpaitmcnt in the
Nebo Banner will attract Just fancy
the scene in Nebo tomorrow when the
Banners palpitating presses begin to
reel off the edition for the day There
may be more popular men in Nebo
than the Banners editor but certain-
ly there will be none more sought
after The new departure is obvious-
ly intended to lessen the evils of In-
temperance and perhaps it will We
do not feel qualified to express an
opinion on that poitiL But we do ven
ture the opinion Uiat the Banner of-
fice will be the Mecca of a large por-
tion of Nebos population tomorrow
and this will be desirable of course
If there Is anything In tho theory of
merchants that it is only necessary to
get people Into a store to induce them
fo do business
We trust the Banners editor will
he able to bear up under the compli-
ments rind perhaps some other
things which will ho showered on I
him
his photographs we will gladly publish
it as showing how he appeared before
he entered upon the stienuoiis life of
the newspaper reformer Our renders
may imagine for themselves how he
will look after tomorrow Washing-

The accommodating grocer goes or
sends across to the nearest saloon and
gets the article or articles wanted
charges them to his customer and
sends them along with the order of
groceries Of course this act is only
an accommodation The grocer does
not deal in Intoxicants Now it has
been held every such act Is a viola-
tion or the law and heavy fines have
been assessed In many instances
Palestine merchants had better be
careful a revenue olllccr is liable to
swoop down on them some day and
make a whole lot of trouble for them
it would be better to explain to the
customer that they cannot secure
these articles for them without laying
themselves liable to heavy penalties

Misrepresentation about the new
laws ran keep the people of the state
fooled for a time but bye and bye they
will get wise
Swallow your meat without chew-

If all of Palestines rich men would
decide to get in line and help to build

And now another doctor comes up

Some of Anderson countys fanners
are demonstrating that it pays to farm
carefully and with system The men
who have planted select cotton seed
used fertilizer and worked their fields

John R Rockefeller who was an
unwilling witness berore the Federal
court recently has filed his bill for

No doubt he needs the money The
poor people will no doubt get busy
one or these days and take up a col-
lection Tor this poor old man If John
gets paid in proportoin to what lie
knew and told he will owe the govern-
ment about thirteen cents
It is agreed that Anderson county
needs a much larger farming popula
tion and that such an increased pop
ulation would bring great prosperity
to tho city and county The next
thing Is to get busy and hustle for
this new population No county In
the state offers better advantages to
the home builder than does Anderson
and with the possibilities here in
truck and tegular farming it should
not ho very difficult to interest people

Brushv Creek Texas July 22 The
mercury Is trying to kick the top off
of the thermometer these days On
It is so hot but the cotton plants seem
to be doing fine under the fierce rays
of old scl Corn crops are generally
good
Health is very good considering the
conditions but wo arc called on to
again chronicle the death of one of
the best men that It has ever been our
pleasure to know Elisha M Holland
of South Carolina
was born In the state
lina and he lived there until he
reached manhoods csUitc He then
joined in the great procession of emi-
gration that was then going westward
He stopped for a time in Mississippi
and In 1S59 he arrived In Anderson
county but he did not remain here
long but went with Dr Charles Mur-
phy to McClcnnan county There he
worked on the ranch of Dr Murphey
until he answered the call of the South
for men to do battle He enlisted In
a regiment from his home county
early in the action and remained until
the end After the conflict was over
he returned to Anderson county
Here he was soon married to Miss
Charity Pickle and settled down on
the farm where his days were spent
He had been in bad health for a long-
time and suffered a great deal but he
did It all In that christian spirit that
had always distinguished him He
raised a family of six children and
they are as true men and women as
are In Anderson county today It has
been said that ever family has Its
black sheep 1 challenge any one
to find that kind of a sheep In this
family His sons arc true to every
attribute devolving on manhood and
his daughters are women of the high-
est order No man can hope to raise
a family that would give to the pa-
rental heart that Jo > that far exceeds
all other joys In this life than has E
M Holland He was born February
10 1838 and died July 16 1907 He
was laid to rest at old Olive Branch or selr
cemetery among hundreds of his for-
mer friends that had proceeded him to
the spirit land This old spot has be-
come sacred to most eery family in
all tills part of the county and to a
great many that t c scattered to the
four corners of tho earth
So the multitude goes like the flower
or the weed
That withers away to let others suc-
ceed
So the multitude comes even those we
behold
To repeat every tale that has often
been told
Elder Iku Scarborough of Callahan
county was present at the burial nnd
made a beautiful talk based upon the
query of Job If a man die shall he
live again The bereaved family and
friends or the departed friend and
brother have the profound condolence
of the writer and ho fully trusts that
some sweet day thoy shall again be
reunited never again to be separated

eran of the Cross is conducting a pro-
tracted meeting at Midway An elder

ber him These were grand old men
who in those early pioneer days left
their Eastern homes of ease and came
West where many hardships were to
be endured before the cause of Christ
could be established in this good land
God bless their efforts and memory
Mr B C Cely and his wife have re-
turned from their visit to Mr Celys

joying this healthy period

woods making shingles and his wife
looking after the store
Mr Weeks Is building him a house
at Poynor also Mr Jordan will soon
be a citizen of the little city so In a
small way the little town grows
The country that is around this
place Is composed of fine lands and
all that Is liking Is for It to be devel-
oped Cotton corn fruit and vege-
tables of all kinds grow here to per-
fection Lands are cheap and the
man who wants a home would be with-
out an excuse here as the land is not
only cheap but it can be bought on
such terms as to make the land pay
