the month oi the crepe myrtle^ Did
you ever see a tree or a shrub more
I euutlful than the crepe myrtle, with
IS crreat plumes of colorful bloosoms
—pink, rose and luvendar?
Tho grow everywhere In tho city—
In poor soil or In rich, on the hlllaldo
or the valley. Why do not McKinney
people mako a specialty of tho
shrubs that grow to tree size, and al-
ways bloom during the summer, from
tho time they are two years old?
Why not plant avenues of crepe
myrtle? They are hardy, and need
little care. Why not havo McKinney
known as the "City of tho Myrtles"?
us Galveston Is tho city of Oleanders
and Portland, Oregon, tho city or
roses ?
It Is a worth while endeavor. Let's
plant crop myrtles lots of them, ave-
nues of them. McKinney would bo
more beautiful than over.

« « «
Tho Story of an Old House.
In 1857 Rev. James Sanford Muse,
pioneer Christian minister and teach-
er, father of T. H. Muse and of the
late Judge P. B. Muse, came to this
country; and, sixty two years ago. he
began the erection of the houso.
which I, his grandson am now having
remodeled and repaired. It took part
of two years to build It. A man nam-
ed Courcy took the contract for JSOiiO
which In those days was "some mon-
ey" though it would not be consider-
ed as so very much now. When the
$3000 was exhausted the building was
about half completed. Courcy gavo up
the Job, and my grandfather hlreu
carpenters at $1.50 per day to com-
plete It. When completed It co*t
$6000.
Among tho carpenters who worked
on It were M. R. Johnson a mill-
wright, a Mr. Reeves, a Mr. Burke,
and a negro man Jim, who belonged
to my grandfather. Jim was a son of
Aunt Melvlnya and a brother of Aggie
Doty, who now lives In the suburb of
Lewlsvllle. The head carpenter was
William Ballew (no kin to Moot Bal-
lew,) who was an uncle of fhe only
white man ever legally executed in
Collin county. The head painter was
a Norwegian named Spanberg, who
wus said to have served an apprentlc-
slilp of seven years at Christiana be-
fore he was allowed to ply his traoe.
The house was set upon bols d'arc
blocks, and the sills were oak logs
8x10 cut In East Fork bottom and
sawed at the old Watts sawmill. The
balunce of the lumber was all heart
pine, hauled on ox wagons from Jef-
ferson, Texas. Uncle Moso Wright,
who lives In Kust McKinney |M1h me
that ho hauled some of the lumber.
It is said thut my grandfather stood
by and personally saw that not a sin-
gle stick of lumber that was not all
heart went into the bufldlng.
All the lumber was dressed by hand
at the work bench, and the doors and
wainscoting were all made by hand.
This was before the days of sized
lumber and sash factories In this
country. The frame work of the
house was put together with mortise
and tenon and a pin put through the
tenon, as at that time they had no
spikes and this was long before the
days of round nails—the largest nail
used In the house being a tenpenny
cut square nail. In addition to the
ordinary frame of 2x4, the house was
framed like a mill with 8 inch square
pine logs, mortised and tenoned to-
gether marking out the outline of the
rooms. On the InBlde corners these
eight Inch square logs had four In-
ches cut out, so that they showed
four inches on which to nail celling
each way, still showing the full eight
lncheB on the outside each way —
making a solid corner. The studding
rough and unsized^ some of it 3x4
Instead of 2x4 was ' mortised Into the
sill below and the plate above; and
for greater security, diagonal braces
of oak were mortised Into these cor-
ner posts sills and plates. This meth-
od of construction made It possi-
ble to leave out any inside wall and
fill Its place with folding doors for
tho whole' side of a room, and this
was done so that four rooms could be
thrown into one. The overhead cell-
ing which was only half an Inch thick
was hand dressed and ploughed for
tongue and groove at the work bench
and fitted together so smoothly that
the Joints were practically Invisible
when painted, and it is said that
Spanberg the painter almost made
good his boast that he "would make
the celling so smooth and glossy that
tho old Rentleman could look up and
see himself as In a mirror."
Its many large windows, three and
ono half by six feet In size, overlook-
ed tho country In all four directions.
About one hundred and fifty yards toland residence Mount
tho Bouth was the lnrere two stmy cause the house was situated upon
residence of Judge n. L. Wadd'll Sr. the brow of a gently swelling hill,
father of R. L., O. M. and Miss Fan- where the cool breezes wander over
nle Waddlll. Tho old Waddlll home its wide porches and play hide and
mind us that our ancestors were not
too civilized to make the Indian take
his own medicine occasionally, if a
man raised more corn than he need-
ed it sometimes happened that about
the best he could do wus to give thft
as there
were no transportation facilities
hence practically no market. One of
the principal articled of merchandise
In McKinney was corn whisky, ind
we had a distillery In those early days
over on East Fork. *
Soon after the completion of the
house, in the fall of 1860, Lincoln was
elected President, and when he canto
to take the oath of office in March
1861, the flames of civil war broke
out. My father Thomas H. Muse, at
that time less than seventeen years of
ugo together with his older brother,
James Martin Muse (afterwards kill-
ed at the battle of Shlloh, and for
whom I was named) volunteered and
went to war In Company V Ninth
Texas Infpntry, the only company
which went as Infantry out of the
seventeen companies that left Collin
county. The company was command-
ed at first by Capt. Joe Dickson; af-
terwards for a short time by William
Ballew (the carpenter, who wus Jus-
tlce of the Peace here when the war
broke out); and finally by Captain
Milt Board. It Is impossible for me
to secure a complete lint of those who
went in this company, but the follow-
ing have been remembered- Elder
Ben Faulkner deceased, father-in-
law of Hon. Tom W. Perkins; Bent
(R. B.) Whlsenanta rr>w living ut
Allen; his brother * John WhlsenarU,
now deceased; Jim Thompson; Sol
Dodson; Arch Candler;Jlmmle Camp-
bell and Dan Nolan, two Irishmen
(each made a verbal will in the other's
favor, which Is permissible in cus; of
soldiers at war; Nolan was killed
and Campbell though wounded canie
back to claim his legacy, but found
there was none); T. M. Scott, 1st Lieu-
tenant; Mack Benge, 2nd Iieucnnant;
Cary Gates; Bill Browning, I'ruce
Stover; Andy Glass; Flavins King,
Ack Scott, brother of Jim Scott and
father of Albert Scott who lives near
Forest Grove; Bill Phillips and Bill
Fletcher, both killed at Shlloh; Har-
vey Vermillion, father of W. R.
Vermillion; Joe Robertson, Kilsha
Beck, kinsman of Gabe; Charley
Schultz, Arch Box and Stamper
Smith (thought to have both been
burned to death on a train by the
Yankees); Will Smith, brother of the
late Commissioner Mack Smith; Jeff
Davis; Will Berry; Tom Candler,
killed at Murfreesboro; Jim Bowie!
killed at Murfreesboro; Bill Turner,
who lived near Piano; Anderson Rob-
Ins; Joe and Bill Anderson; Ben
Webb; Munday; John Odell; Lieut-
enant D. P. Tunnell; J. H. Jenkins;
Jake Bewley; Jim Boone, brother of
Tom Boone deceased; Chris Williams
and Ira Matthews (left out because
they were under age); Cliff Crim,
uncle of Frank Crlm deceased; Phil
Barnes, brother to Tom and Henry
and Will Barnes;Marlon Murtry; Llsh
Norman (killed on Kenesaw Moun-
tain); Joe Russell, uncle of the late
Judge W. T. Beverly and Hon. Geo.
P. Brown; Wood Harris; Jim Harris
and Jim Barnes, both killed at the
battle of Chlckamauga; Geo. Bolln
from Farmersville, there were 110
of them.
Four years elapsed; the fratricidal
strife ceased, and the handsome
young soldiers returned, rugged, foot
sore and weary, beaten, poorer In this
world's goods and disenfranchised
all save those who never returned. The
vast number of former slaves sudden-
ly liberated contained a few who did
not know how to make use of their
newfound liberty in a lawful manner,
so they had to be "Instructed."
Sheeted ghosts rode by the old nouse
night after night, some of them so
"dry" thnt they would stop at a
cabin, call for water and take six
buckets to quench their thirst, mere-
ly remarking In deep chest tones
that they "hadn't had a drink since
the battle of Chlckamauga.' it was
very Impressive.
My grandfather called his home
Pleasant be-
lly burying ground, where a few ce-
dars havo Btood from that day to this.
I presume that beautiful Pecan Grove
cemetery had not then been estab-
lished. Anyway since that time these
graves have all been removed to Pe-
can Grove.
In the distribution of my grand-
father's estate, over forty years ago,
the old house and the plat of ground
containing It came to my father. My
father lived out beyond it on his
farm, so it became a tenant house
and was occuped by a number of dif-
ferent families. It fell Into a state of
bad repair, and finally stood for a
number of years as a vacant house.
The window lights were broken out;
the big chimneys fell down; ths
doors sagging on rusty hinges, creaked
and groaned In the wind; and It be-
came the Haunted House, especially
with the colored population.
Almost twenty years ago I wooed ing at homo on the farm wth their

tet of the late Z. T. Acker of Jfrisco ing two of their grandchildren, Ruth

north of west was the handsome two
story resldenco of Isaac Graves de-
ceased, grandfather of Vcrnle Groves
and of Goodney Graves, which house
has been remodeled and Is now own-
ed and occupied by Beecher Cnmeron
and family. The old houses mention-
ed were all built nbout the same
time. Following what Is now Wad-
dlll street north and west In the di-
rection of Pilot Point out several
miles there was a house occupied by
n man named Rodman nnd another
by the name of Champion. Down
the hill a couple of hundri >1 yards
west of the house was a little row of
one and two room shanties known as
"the quarters." A vivid picture of
such scenes as this will come up in
the minds of some of the older peo-
ple; but we of the younger generation
have a very hazy conception of the
trappings nnd accoutrements of that
relic of barbarism, which was out-
grown and finally thrown off by the
Amerlcnn nation In the throes of
Civil War.
Thero wore no roads fenced on
either sldo as In these days; folks
were not confined to a certain trnv
eled way; they could mount a horse
nnd take a straight course for the
place they wanted to go to, over gen-
tly rolling prairies and through
skirts of timber Barbed wire had not
been though of, and there were no
fences excopt around little patches
here nnd there and those fences wore
slgzag rail fences (worm fences)
which had to be rebuilt after almost
every storm. Men would sometlm
ride upon the square In McKInn
with a dozen Indian scalps at th<
saddle bow—this is mentioned to 1
seek among Us many windows. Soon
after tho war he started a school In
his house, and many of our most
prominent citizens acquired their
education within its walls. By way
of advertising in those days they gave
what they called "exhibitions". The
big doors were folded back throwing
four rooms into one, and the windows
were opened so that the overflow-
crowd could have a look In. It Is
remembered thnt John L. Lovejoy,
now President of the First Nntlonal
Bank, then a small boy. performed
some Btunt at tho first exhibition that
was given.
Miss Mary Belle Bently. a young
lndy Just out of college came to as-
sist my grandfather with the school.
My father, then a young man recent-
ly returned from the war, naturally
became Interested; and as time p iss-
ed, my grandfather concluded It wa-
ul'' settled between them, so he told
Miss Bentley how pleased he was that
she was to bo his daughter. But my
father had not yot "spoken," so H
was an embarnssing moment for Miss
Bentley. However he did speak a
short time afterwards and was ac-
cepted. Then my grandfather said,
Tom that Is the best day's work you
ever did." Looking back now o\ei
their almost fifty years of married
life, their nine children, and the work
they have done together, I am in-
clined to think grandfather Muse
was right.
My earliest recollection is of the oc-
casion of my grandfather's funeral,
when ho was enrried a short distance
north from the houso to a little fam-
