An Old Texan who Remembers the
En- MONS Event

Waco, Texas. May 24.--N. C. Duncan OF
Robertson county, who has been here at
tending the Mexican War Veterans con-
vention, is 10 years old and has lived in
Robertson county sixty-three years He
came to Texas with Davy Crockett and
settled with the Robertson colony In what
is now known as the Wheelock neighbor-
hood, in the lower part of Robertson
county. He tells interesting stories of the
early days. The first school he attended
in Texas was the colony school in 1887
He has vivid recollection of the migration
OF squirrels that year
They were travelling in droves from
east to west and would sometimes jump
up on your horse II you rode among them
on the prairie. There was a grove of trees
near the school house and one day some
of the children noticed the squirrels thick
in the trees. School was dismissed and
the teacher Joined the children in a gem
eral squirrel killing. This diversion was
repeated every time drove of squirrels
came along"
Mr. Duncan remarked at the close Of
his narrative that that was the freest
school he ever attended.
Mr.. Duncan is well preserved for man
of his age. He stands erect and moves
about as sprghtly as a man of As He
enjoys the annual reunions and says he
never intends TO miss one as long as he Is
able to get to them.

PLEASED WITH THE PAVING


People as a rule are natural kickers yet
there are but few who are not willing to
acknowledge good thing even though it
is obtained over their vigorous protest.
This fact has become much in evidence
since the street paving has progressed to
the point where its benefits are apparent.
There were many Bsaumonters who oh
jected to the pavement. arguing that the
available money was so small that injury
rather than good would be accomplished;
that VI was no use to pave unless whole
streets could be paved and that the city
was not ready for pavement This morn
Ing one of the principal directors remarked
to The Post correspondent: This pave
ment is the most profitable investment
that Beaumont ever made did not real
lie it at first, but | now realize the wis
dam of Mayor Wheat and the city coun-
ell in undertaking the improvement IN
spite Of the objections of myself and
others. 1t is the beginning OF Beaumont's
development into a commercial and indus
/ trial metropolis. The pavement will
/ grow
1t would be difficult now to find clu-
zen who disapproves the paving.
