John Snider, lor 52 years a citizen
Of the Panhandle, is known to thou-
sands of persons throughout the
Southwest. Old Mexico and In and
around Washington, D. C.
That is, his name is known and it
Is doubtfu' if any monicker ever had
three distinct and amazingly differ-
ent reasons for being so well-known.
Snider is one of AmarlUo's most
noted pioneers, a peace officer for 32
years, and the best-known barbecuer
of beef in the nation. It would be
impossible to say whether the man's
fame rests on his career as an of-
ficer of the law, his early life on the
range, or his culinary achievements.
John Solder's experiences as a
eowpoke on the IJT Ranch and oth-
ers, his life in and around Old Tas-
cosa and his trail riding proclivities
would give a writer enough material
to write, a fascinating book
His long service as a peace of-
ficer is replete with enough material
to last a detective story writer a
lifetime.
His fame as Barbecue King of the
nation more recently has spread
until there are no doubt thousands
of persons in the country who know
of him only as the man who can
take a pit, a fire, and a Texas beef
and do things to the meat which
makes the great and the unknown
alike sing his praises with watering
mouths.
Snider was born in Collin County
in 1874. His parents later moved to
Denton County, and, in 1885 loaded
all of their worldly possessions into
ox-wagons and hearted for the Pan-
handle. The Sniders arrived in Tas-
cosa in the spring of 1886 and there
the 12-year-old boy began a life
which to this day, in one way or
another, continues to be gloriously ou'>h ^ W'aste ink marking the place
full of thrills. i on the maps," Snider recalls with a
chuckle "Knit for two or three
years after the Port Worth and Den-
ver Railroad was completed to Am-
He went to school at Tascosa, "A
school," he relates, "that didn't have
any grades. You just went to school
and learned what you could." He
attended school in Amarillo a short
time in 1889.
"By this time," Snider says, "I had
learned to read and write, to count
to 10, and to have a speaking knowl-
edge of the Mexican language, so I
considered myself ready to face the
world."
* * *
Pace the world he did. And, he's
still facing it, facing it with a kind-
ly humor, a deadly serious attitude
toward his position as an Amarillo
city detective, an enthusiastic spirit
over his barbecuing, and a penchant
for applying more or less tall tales
about the old days.
"In 1888. Amarillo was not big en-
Taylor, a girl he had met in Tas-
cosa years before. In 1922, Snider
returned to Amarillo's police force,
and has been on it in one capacity
or another to this day.
The biggest barbecue Snider ever
cooked and served was in Amarillo
in 1926 when 50 cattle and 50 sheep
were prepared at the Tii-State Fair
Grounds. Once at Harding's Ranch,
he fed 15,000 people, but, he says,
"that was one time they ate too
much beef, for we ran out of meat."
Snider always carries signs and
somehow or other boosts meat eat-
ing. "Eat more beef." read his signs
whether in the nation's capital or
in West Texas.
His top performance at the barbe-
cue pit came in 1932 when he fed
the National Press Convention at
Washington, D. C. Bascom Tim-
mons, an Amarillo boy whom Sni-
der knew when he was a cub re-
porter here, was president of the
press association and when he told
Col. Ernest Thompson of his
troubles in trying to arrange sult-
arillo, it was the largest cattle ship- abjp entertainment and food for
ping point in the world. I have

It was necessary to employ an as-
sistant pastor in the fall of 1936. Rev.
Paul Whaley was called. He also be-
came children's worker and director
of music and is still connected with
the church.
Since the summer of 1935 the
church has opened the day's broad-
cast on KGNC with their "Sky Pi-
lot" program. Letters of apprecia-
tion of this morning program have
been received by Rev. Somerville
from 22 states and two provinces of
Canada.
The church began a children's Bi-
ble hour early in 1938 It now meets
in eight groups in different sections
of the city and has more than 200
children enrolled.

Early Printer
Charles Hoppin, owner of the
Hoppin Printing Company at 214
East Seventh Avenue, has had his
fingers in printers' ink since he w'as
a youngster.
His father was a printer back In
Burlington la., and came to Ama-
rillo in August, 1906, to work on
the Daily Panhandle here. Young
Charles came along as a matter of
course, and went to school here.
The Charles Hoppin Printing
Company was opened in Amarillo
on Jan. 1, 1931, but there had been
a lot of printers' ink roll over the
type before that enterprise was
started.
Charlie Hoppin worked for C. C.
Loving here, finished his apprentice-
ship under that printer. Returning
from the war in 1917, Hoppin worked
for Russell k Cockrell for two years.
Then he worked for the old Tribune
for a year. Charlie left the printing
business for a spell, entering the re-
tail hardware trade in 1922 for six
years. At the end of the hardware
period, he traveled for a year and
a half for the American Stove Com-
pany out of Houston. A year and a
half was enough of this, so Charlie
returned to Amarillo and set up his
first shop at 112 West Sixth.
Two years later he opened at his ! struction
present location, 214 East Seventh 1 a short time later young Keith \
Mr. Hoppin believes that the 13 j secured a position as clerk at the
local print shops should hand to- postoffice where he has been em

St. Paul's
On January 26, 1923, under the
leadership of Rev. George W. Sherer,
presiding elder, Rev. Ed R. Wallace
organized the St. Paul s Methodist
Church with 96 charter members.
The expressed aim of the new or-
ganization was the establishment of
a church home to serve the fast-
growing south section of the city.
Lots for a building site were pur-
chased at Eighteenth, and Van Bu-
ren, and a temporary building wai
erected.
First services were held oil March
15, 1923. A Sunday school was or-
ganized on that day with G. C. Mc-
Danlel as superintendent and T. S.
Clopton as secretary,
In the fall of 1923 Rev. E. B. Brown
was assigned to St. Paul church as
pastor. Membership had increased
lo 225. The Woman's Missionary
Society was organized with Mrs. G.
