Al Lowman of Stringtown, the TSHA intrepid auctioneer, has recently
printed a solicitation brochure for the Hays County Historical and Gene-
alogical Society which should serve as a model for all those interested in
local history. It is beautifully designed and thought-out. Publication was
made. possible by assistance from the San Marcos Telephone Company,
State Bank and Trust Company, First National Bank, First Federal Savings
and Loan, and Austin Savings and Loan, all of San Marcos.
The bicentennial of the American Revolution is proving to be the inspira-
tion for an enormous acceleration of local history projects, particularly at
the county and town levels. Two of the more imaginative are coming out of
La Grange. There the local Bicentennial Committee is publishing the first
history known to be written about Fayette County. It was written in i876
by Julia Lee Sinks, a founder and vice president of the TSHA. The county
is also planning to publish a collection of term papers by the La Grange
high school students on the histories of various businesses, churches, ceme-
teries, and settlements in the county. When you multiply the Fayette County
effort by the more than 3,000 counties in this nation, you can see what a
wealth of local history is going to be amassed before the 2ooth birthday
year has terminated.
