CITY COUNCIL MEETING
site for Bryan Pure Foodl& Manufsce
turing Company Located.

Another special meeting of the city
council was held last night with Mayor
Maloney and all aldermen present.
The principal object of the meeting
was to consider a site for the location
of the Bryan Pure Food & Manufac-
turing Company's plant. Mr.. Abbott,
the promoter of the enterprise, was
present and stated his plans fully to
the council. After considering the
matter the site for the plant was To-
Gated on the city's property just east
of the Houston & Texas Central rail
road and opposite the power plant.
The company is to have the use OF the
ground without rent for two years,
and at the end of that time a rental
agreement will be made between the
company and the city.
The question of water main extern
sion was taken up and discussed. The
plans as outlined call for about twelve
thousand feet of mains, reaching prac-
tically every part of the city, and
which will give a fine water service.
The city engineer was instructed to
furnish detailed plans for the extern
sion and also a schedule for the mate
rails needed for the extension.
1t was reported to the council that
the two committees working in the
southeast and northeast sections OF
the city raising funds from individuals
for extension of the sewer system,
were meeting with good success.
The question of boulevarding Main
street was discussed and the idea was
favored by the council, but not action
taken.
1t was ordered to go ahead at once
with the work of putting up the con-
crete poles for lighting Main street.
On Main street the Tungstun series of
lights will be used, five lights to the
pole. This is one of the best systems
in use and when installed Main street
is expected to be as light as day.

MORE ABOUT
WHEEL0CK'S MAYOR
Tribute to Uncle Mike Hinton from
DR.. Thomas ]. Pugh, One of
His "Young Mastss."

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
The article in your issue of the 18th
instant regarding the visit to Bryan
of Mike Hinton, the "Mayor of Wheel
ock," was read by me with more than
ordinary interest, inasmuch as Uncle
Nike was one of my fathers old fam
lily servants.
/ was pleased to learn that the old
fellow is still alive, and wish / were
able to pension him in his old age.
OF all my fathers servants, Uncle
Mike" was the one in whom he most
implicitly confided, and under no cir
cumstances was that trust ever be-
trayed.
In regard to the old mans age, he
is a little o~ff-though in good works
and honorable living he has many
more years to his credit than he
claims. He says he was born in Ten
nessee. This is correct; but he can
lO Dt luo years Olu uCSduoC my
grandfather, James Pugh, did not
move from North Carolina to Tennes-
see until 1913.
My father, Maj. James A. Pugh, was
born in BERTHE county, North Carolina,
in 1911. My grandfather moved with
his family and negroes in 1918 to West
Harpeth, Williamson county, Tennes-
see, and there, soon afterwards, prob
ably, Uncle Mike was born.
| have often heard my father speak
of his boyhood's home IN Tennessee,
and how the canebrakes of that Sec
ton had to be cleared away for the
planting of hemp, which was the prin-
cipal crop of those days.
Some twenty-odd years ago | visited
in that part of Tennessee, and, in COM
pany with DR.. James North, a relative,
now of Franklin, Tenn, l visited the
old Pugh homestead. The old place
was then gone to decay and uninhab-
tied, and there was nothing left to
indicate it's connection with the past
except a part of the old hemp mill, the
rock around the old spring where the
milkhouse stood, and the great pear

fowls of that section were still known
as the Pugh p~eafowls,' because my
grandfather brought the original fowls
from North Carolina when he moved
to Tennessee in 1913.
Referring again to Uncle Mike: His
knowledge of the battle of New Or
leans was probably obtained by hear
ling accounts of it from the lips of my
grandfather who fought under General
Jackson in that battle, though no
doubt the stirring events of those
times were subjects of family discus
sion for years, and must have made
lasting impressions even upon very
young children.

to Matagorda county, and finally to

East Texas he was commissioned a
major by Sam Houston, in the service
of the Republic of Texas. Uncle Mike
was his constant companion, body
guard and closest friend through all
those troublous times In 1865 my
father lived on the old Moore planta-

that they we're free, in August, 1865.
