March 24 was built around the theme of "The Era of Elegance,"
which was the decade of 1850-1860 when Tyler County was so
much a part of the general prosperity that flowed over all Texas.
James E. and Josiah Wheat contributed a historical article on
the subject for the attractive printed program.
The Association has received from J. Meredith Tatton of Re-
fugio, president of the South Texas Historical Association, a copy
of the completed agreement between that Association and the
Texas College of Arts and Industries at Kingsville, Texas, for
the establishment of the Association's permanent archive at the
college. This copy will be kept on file in the Association office
for reference purposes.
One of the prime objectives of the Association is the encour-
agement of local historical societies. Especially gratifying, there-
fore, is a recent communication from Association member C. C.
Jeffries of Winkler, Texas, reporting the organization of the Na-
varro County Historical Society at Corsicana. The following
officers were elected: Joe M. Daniel, president; Alva Taylor,
first vice-president; Lewis Hodge, second vice-president; Mrs.
Kirk Steele, third vice-president; Mrs. E. D. McCormank, secre-
tary; and Mrs. Sallie Mae Hale, treasurer. The proposed agenda
of the Navarro County Society, which include the establishment
of a museum in Corsicana and the development of an active pub-
lication program, should serve as an inspiration for the forma-
tion of similar societies elsewhere in the state.
The April, 1956, issue of the Texas Grand Lodge Magazine,
which is edited by Dr. James D. Carter, contains several items
of general historical interest written by Association members.
Roger N. Conger, prominent Waco businessman and active stu-
dent of Texas history, submitted "The Battle of San Jacinto,"
a concise review of the final decisive campaign of the Revolution.
The second article, "The Significance of the Texas Revolution in
American History," by Dr. Ralph Steen, Association vice-presi-
dent and chairman of the department of history at the A. and M.173
