Commissioners' Court
Hires Assistant For
Bell County Agent
Belton Feb. 10 Acting at the
request of a committee of Bell
county fanners the Bell county
commissioners' court voted Mon-
day to em ploy a secretary to as-
sist County Agent Edmund Sin-
gleton in the administration of
his office.
The action was requested be-
cause the present secretary
Miss Minnie Harkins whom it
was recommended be asked to
remain as secretary has been
working without pay since the
voiding of the AAA program by
supreme court action on Jan. 6.
It was pointed out that the work
was as heavy now as during the
administration of ithe program
when several persons were em-
ployed by the federal govern-
ment in Mr. Singleton's office.
Need Is Stressed
The committee was headed by
T. W Handler president of the
Bell County Agricultural asso-
ciation and was composed of
representatives from varrious
community agricultural organi-
zations throughout the county.
Mr. Handler explained that
much correspondence was neces-
sary from the county agent's of-
fice to the farmerrs of the coun-
ty and the need for a secretary
was great.
The motion for the employ
ment of Miss Harkins was made
retroactive so that her pay would
begin as of Jan. 6.
The meeting of the commis-
sioners was temporarily disrup-
ted when M. L. Mullican or near
Heidenheimer suffered a heart
attack while appearing before
the court to discuss a drainage
dispute.

half of a Belton woman who was
in need of immediate nursing at-1
tention. and arrangements were
made to take care of the case.
Commissioners Otfe 'Barnes I
and Frank Poncik who attended
a recent meeting of county com-
missioners with regard to WPA
projects spoke of the difficulties
liable to occur because of per-
sons who having never been on
relief were not entitled to WPA
jobs but were in need of em-
ployment or relief at present.
Judge Sar.derford read a com-
munication from the secretary
of state county commissioners'
organization pointing out that a
delegation would go to Washing-
ton to- iron out that difficulty.
The letter explained that a lib-
eralization of relief and WPA la-
bor requirements ought to he

Taylor Fob. 11 Death Sun-
day night claimed G. M. Kuyken-
dall Sr. 8G pioneer settler of
Williamson County. He died at
the family home a few miles
south of Taylor at 11 o'clock last
nightt following a few days ser-
ious illness. He had been in fail-
ing health during the past two
years. iL
His death was partly attribute
ed to grief over the death of his
son' Sparks Kuykendall former
constable and peace officer of
this precinct.
Mr. Kuykendall was bom Jan-
uary 30th 1850 at Rices' Cross-
ing community several miles

Mr. Kuykendall was one of

part of the country an occupa-
tion he started at the early age
of 20 and continued until he at-
tained his fiftieth birthday. He
made his first trip up the old
trail from Texas to Nebraska
driving a large herd of cattle
when (he was 20 years old. Dur-
ing later years he rode the trail
through Texas to Nebraska and
then to Kansas. Mr. Kuykendall
spent one winter in Kansas in a
dugout with his cattle during a
severe blizzard. On this particu-
lar trip it was recalled by Mr.
Kuykendall that all the horses
froze to death with the excep-
tion of one and one of his fel-
low workers was frozen to death.
He made his last trip on the old
trail in 1879 when he and fif
teen other cowboys drove thirty-
six hundred head of cattle to Sid

have been the largest herd ever
to go up the old Texas-Nebraska
trail. All of the group of cow-
boys who made the trip in 1879
are now deceased with the ex-
ception of Alf Meinelle. Mr. Kuy-
kendall and Mr. Meinelle have
been cronies up until the time of
the former s death.
On January 2 1884 he was
married to Miss Josephine Kim-
bro of Taylor and to this union
ten children were born three
daughters and seven sons. Their
first child died in infancy and a
second son Sparks succumbed
June 14th 1934. Mrs. Kuyken-
dall died on November 4th 1916.
Mr Kuykendall was a director
of the Williamson County Old
Settlers Association.

Kuykendall was up and enjoyed

ception of a son' and a daughter

move in and out sometimes
rooms are vacant but no one
cares.
The hewed oak frame on 10x12
pine sills still sound in the main
that suppoi'ted the roof over the
grim soldier who led his raw
volunteers to victory over the
Mexican dictator Santa Anna
and the independence of Texas
at San Jacinto in 1836 echoes
the shrill cry of children at
play.
No one knows in which room
of the old decaying mansion the
old hero died.
To Be Given To State
"It might have been this one"
said J. G. Johnson former own-
er pointing to a left front room
with sheets hanging in the win-
dows or it might have been the
one directly back of it.
The old structure in its coat of
yellow with broken window
panes and air of neglect will be
presented to the State- March 2
the Centennial of Texas' Decla-
ration of Independence.
Johnson said his father bought
the Houston home about 1927
for $250 from Mrs. C. A. Ran-
dolph secretary of a cemetery
in which it stood and moved it
half a mile to the present loca-
tion. For that operation it was
cut in two.
"The back porch probably was
taken off and used in building
what now is the front porch"
Johnson said.
In 1933 he sold the historic
structure to a Houston business
man understanding he said it
was to be placed in a park near
Elkins Lake. This was not done
however as the state would not
grant a permit to move it on
the highway.
Some time ago Johnson said
he told the owner he no longer
could be responsible for the land-
mark. "I had moved to my house
across the street and squatters
moved in here but two or three
months ago my house burned
and I moved back.
Johnson with several of his
eight children is living in a
front room of the dilapidated
building.
The house lost its former
straight lines when moved and

National Youth Administratiop
8371 young Texans have been

the last thirty days.
The figures were announced
by Lyndon Johnson state NYA
Director after a checck-up. with
representatives in' 20 Texas dis-
tricts. In addition. 1312 have boon '
assigned to work and jobs havo'phasized in the decorations and
n made available tor 7642
hers. The grand total of part
time jobs provided by the Na-
tional Youth Administration in
the 80-day period is 17325.
The boys and girlE are work-
ing on 467 projects scattered
throughout the state. A total of
$417378 is being expended by
the NYA and cooperating spon-
sors are contributing approxi-
mately 40 per cent of the entire
cost of the projects. The remain-
ing funds of the $459000 allocat-
ed to Texas are being used in
projects being approved daily.
The youngsters are working
on various projects which will
be useful memorials to their ef-
forts. Chief among these are 150
"pockeksiz" parks so called be
cause of their tiny size

pipe dream of Gib Gilchrist state
highway engineer. The highway
department is the sponsor of
Gib Gilchrist state highway en-
gineer. The highway department
is the sponsor of the construc-
tion of the parks and also of
school bus stops and gravel
school walks.
Other work includes the beau-
tification of school grounds and
the improvement of recreation-
al facilities. Youths are also as-
sisting in' the organisation and
leading of recreational and com-
munity activities.
Girls too have an active part
in the NYA program. In several
districts sewing room projects
are under way. Many are work-
ing in libraries repairing and
cataloging books. Some are em-
ployed in school cafeterias and
others are doing secretarial work
in public service offices.

The only trace of its steamboat
appearance is given by the south
side of the vertical L-shape. A
porch there runs to the back of
the house and the surmounting
long narrow roof suggests a
2nd story porch floor.
"The old place isn't what it
used to be; it surely has run
down it's just a place to camp
in now" said Johnson sadly sur-
veying the broken windows and

of the Republic's soldier-statesman.
