Independence in 1929.
The Pleasanton Journal pub,

The Pleasanton Journal pub
fishes an interesting narrative
by Capt. Peter Tumlinson, one
Of the pioneers of Texas. The
following extract may prove in
teresting to some of our readers:
In February 1922 we crossed
the Brazos. That day about
sunset thirty Caddo warriors
charged us, but a Mexican with
them perceiving that we were
whites and prepared to resist,
called out; Don't be afraid, we
are friends" We employed this
Mexican to conduct US to the
San Antonio road. Thence we
journeyed to where Indepen-
dence now stands. Itwas then
a wilderness over which vast
numbers. of cattle, horses and
buffalo roamed. These cattle
were descendants of cattle i'm
ported from Spain, through
Mexico long anterior. to even
this early date. This country
had evidently been occupied by
civilized people for more than a
century prior to our advent; for
we frequently saw remains of
acqueducts, forts, hearths etc, all
of very old and of Spanish ORR
gin. The narrator cut and split
the first rails, and built them
into cattle pens. on the identical
spot where Independence now
stands. Other families soon
came. Our food was meat
alone; no salt, bread or coffee
could be had. We dressed our
selves in buckskin and wore
moccasins. Our women were
also often compelled to wear
buckskin. The Indians were
quite numerous, the trit c being
the Lipans, Coronquowas, Ton
ouowas and Creeks.

We are not aware that the
present incumbent Mr.. Giddings
will be a candidate. At any
rate there is an impression
abroad in this district that Seth
Shepard is the proper man, and
he will in all probability be the
Democratic nominee Rock
dale Messenger.
Mr.. Shepard made many
friends during the late congress
sional canvass and we believe
he would be acceptable to the
Democrats of this district.

upward, and to-day it stands
second to none in the interior.
1t will be the sole aim and OBJ
iect Of the present management
ofthe BANNER to give the people
of Washington and adjoining

they may be justly proud; with
this object in view no effort or
pains will be spared to present
the latest and freshest news in
an attractive and readable

sary to say that in politics, it
will in the future as in the past,

The difference between Sec
rotary Sherman, and the New

The bankers want to absolutely
destroy the three hundred and
one million greenbacks, replac-
ing them with gold coin. Sher-

THE Denison Herald in an
editorial on the late daring ex-
press robberies Says: "In our

In San Antonio one Eastland,
who had been employed by
Wharton, an auctioneer, sad
died up Wharton's horse and
calling him out levelled a shot
gun on him and forced him to
sign a bill of sale. Eastland was
arrested before he got.out of
town.
Ex-Gov. P1NcHBAcK. who is
now in Washington, says Louis
ANA now has the best governor
of any within his recollection,
and the people are better salts
fed with the condition of affairs,
though they complain of hard
times. He complains that ne
gro children, nearly white, in
the public schools in New Or

The Fort Worth Dfmoerat
boasts that at the next Mayors
election OF that city 1000 votes
will be polled. The Dallas
Morning Call retorts by saying:
1t is impossible by that time
that the Pacific railroad bill will
have passed and the work of
constructing the road westward
begun, in which case Fort
Worth will be a deserted village
with a voting population reduc-
ed to a hundred or Whereabouts.
The Central and Sunset
routes have agreed to pass free,
coming and returning, all visit
ing bona hde hremen to the
coming parade of the Houston
Fire Department, on San Jacin-
to day. The telegram says
delegations will be present from
Austin, Brennan, Bryan, Cal
vert and Hampstead. The
chief contends that at least one
thousand fremen will partici-
pate in the parade.
The Hampstead Confer says
that Alta Vista, the colored
branch of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college, has so far
proved a failure, because of the
inability of the colored people
to send their sons there; the en-
pense being greater than they
are able to bear. The Courier
suggests that no boys under
fourteen years of age be admit
ted, and that the pupils be made
self-sustaining by working on
the plantation, by this means
they will be able to pay their
board by their labor.
