the Brazos project to be adopted

says for this reason, as well
others, the morale of the people is
much bett«r than a ’year ago, anc
the general outlook lor 1935 is cer-
tainly encouraging.
• Please allow me to say along with
many others that We enjoy read-
ing the 'Star* very much; in fact
feel that 1 am about to become
pioneer reader of the 'Star' since
have read it constantly for 34 years,
but 1 am sure there are many others
who have read it longer than
have. We do not only enjoy read-
ing the current items, but we also
enjoy very much *Howdy Neigh-
bor* and the 'Sun Bonnet' stories.
In fact, you are putting out a good
paper and we'enjoy all of it', wrote
our good friend Judge E. L. Pitts
of Lubbock, when sending us
check to cover his renewal to the
Star recently.

watching agaiast attack* from In-

, Mrs- Beck WM too young to realize Phono 64 MINERAL WELLS
the impending danger*, but ohe
often heard her mother tell later
•bout the trip and how she learned
to listen for the bell* of the osen..
If the animal* sometime* strayed
too far away.^her heart stood still
with tenror for fear the men had
been killed and she and the child-
ren left alona in the wilderness of
the new country.
They were later met at Weather-
ford by Judge Veale, and the fam-
ily was transferred to a comfortable
wagon with a team of horses to
flnish the journey to their new home
in Palo Pinto.
In looking over some notes from
her father's autobiography Mrs.
Beck finds where Palo Pinto County
was organised in 1857. The first
Chief Justice was Judge McLaren.
Dave Cleveland was the first clerk,
succeeded by Theo Wright who was
killed accidentally during recon-
struction days. Jack Cleveland was
the first child born in Palo Pinto.
One, by the name of Spires, was
the first man to be sent to the pen
itentia/y. His crime was hog steal-
ing. Drs. Taylor and Mullins were
the first preachers. Drs. Taylor and
Slaughter were the first physicians-
Her father, Ham Baker and Dr.
Taylor were the first school teach-
ers. Her father was known as
'Coaly,' because of his coal black
hair and Mr. Baker as 'Red* because
of his ruddy complexion and red
hair. The curriculum of this early
school included everything from
the alphabet which the little folk
had to learn forwards and back-
wards with all the vowels and con-
sonants to astronomy and philos-
ophy.
These pioneer educators built up
a fine school not only from the
educational standpoint, but they
worked out a constructive program
for the boys and girls and the
young men and women for social
standards and community better-
ment, writes Mrs. Beck. The school
house was the community center
where everybody, young and old,
gathered for good times. There
was a debating society, a singing
class, recitations, compositions and
dialogues every Friday afternoon.
There were rules galore in this
school, they were written out on
the blackboard every morning, and
woe to the haplesa boy or girl who
broke one, for he or she was doom-
ed to feel the weight of the birch
rod. It was usually a stout dog
wood switch and it made no differ-
ence as to sex or age. They all
had to pass under the rod. A man
carried a six shooter for several
weeks threatening Judge Veale be-
cause he gave his girl a switching.
The first school was held in a
arge wooden building east of the
grave yard There were fire places
in either end of the building and
a lohg shed room on the west side-
Vfr. Baker taught his classes in one
end of the house and Judge Veale
in the other, and even with such
a crowded condition it was said
"Old Red and Coaley were so strict
you could hear a pin drop any
hour of the day*.
Mrs Beck was married in 1885,
and moved to the gulf coast, where
they lived until 1904 when they
moved to Morning Sun, lows end
have since resided. At the present
time Mrs. Beck is compiling data
for a pioneer book of early days in
Texas. Much of the story is per-
sonal and is boipg especially writ-
