ROCKPRAIRIE SINGING.TheSchoolTaught Free by Profs. A. J. TABOR and H. A.
JOLLY--A Big Success.
Last Friday, August 10, witnessed the closing exercises of the singing school taught
during the first two weeks in this month, and. conducted by the accommodating Profs. A.
J. TABOR and H. A. JOLLY.
This last day was profitably and pleasantly spent in singing and entertaining visitors,
and also in consuming a nice and wholesome dinner served by the patrons and students
of the school, which. Was handsomely.spreadjust .in front of . the school house door in a
most convenient and beautiful place.
The opening >exercises were some songs rendered by the class,andall visitors who
wished to take part and led by Prof. TABOR.
After numerous leaders were called .on to lead songs, .and. all responded to the
requirement, we got quite hungry and 12 o'clock came just in time to satisfy us. Then the
dinner, previously mentioned was spread, and after Bro. TABOR returned thanks, a
general good time was had, from which satisfactory results were reached, that is, all ate
plenty.
Afterdinner, singing was resumed andinconsequence of dinner, more lively strains of
music than ever were. poured forth from the assemblage of vocalists in a most hearty
manner.
One important feature. of the day's program was the singing of quartette music as a
specialty for the class,and others in attendance.
One quartette composition, worded. by Mr. ACKLAND of College, who was a pupil,
deserves special mention. These excellentwords were written in behalfofthe teachers and
dedicated to them.
On appreciationofthe respect shown by the pupils and obediencetoall rules of school,
the teachers . heartily thanked their students for their ready compliance. with all
requirements.
It is earnestly hoped that Rock Prairie will ever remember this favor by these two young
teachers and that there will sometime be a chance. to return the favor.

A large and well established mercantile business pulsating with the energy and life that
108
created it is one of . the most pleasing .spectacles met within the world of interchanging
values and products. It teaches volumes upon character, industry, economy and
perseverance, and may be studied for hours with profits. Such a business .has grown up
in our midst under the brain and hand of Mr. Geo. W. NORRELL. Mr. NORRELL was born
in Rankin county, Miss, in 1853 and graduated from the Brandon High school in 1867. He
was engaged in teaching school from this time until 1870, when he came toTexas and

T. C. NUNN- Sheriff
Texas is famed far and wide for the splendid material she possesses everywhere in the
personalities of her sheriffs. Most. of them are cool, courageous, level-headed and
conservative, but determined to a degree that brooks no dilly-dallying or monkey business
when they are on duty upholding the law and chasing malefactors. It took such men .as this
to rescue the Lone Star State from the recklessness and crime always attendant upon
settling a new country, and they have indeed done their work well. LarryCHITLENDEN,
"The Poet Ranchman," has immortalized the typical Texas sheriff in verse. The Sheriffs
association isnowone of the leading and effective organizationsofthe state. SheriffT. G.
NUNN of Brazos county isone ofthe best officers in Texas beyond a doubt, and a leading
member of the association. He was born in Burleson county, Jan. 28, 1854, atthe town of
Lexington, and came with his father to Brazos county aBhe age of.12 years. He was raised
on a ranch and has followed the stock business all his life. He went "up the trail" and spent
eight or nine years in the west, NeVi Mexico, Arizona,\Nyomingandldaho. Returning to
Bryan about 1878, he engagedin.the liquor busine$~(Jntil1894 when · hewaseleqted

J. F.PARKS - Liveryman and Undertaker
Men who discover early in life a special taste or fitness for any line of business are
foolish indeed if they do not adopt i.t at once to lend all their energies to perfecting
themselves forit. Success so often seemingly fickle and illusive, comes naturally and easily
this.way, and comes.to abide through life. In his earliest.years experience in the. livery
business in Texas has by no means lessened his regard for those noble animals which are
the most beautiful and useful servants of man.
Joseph Floyd PARKS was born in Chambers county, .Ala., February 17, 1846. He
attendedthe common schools. in his native state during early boyhood, and come with his
father to Texas.. in 1853, settling. near Anderson in Grimes county, where his father
engaged until his deathJnfarmingandstock raising. When the war broke out, Mr. PARKS
atthe ageof17,enlistedin.companyD, CHISOLM's .regiment, .GREEN's calvary, and
s.erved principally in Loui.sianaand Arkansas. Returning to Grimes county after the
surrender he continued farming a few years,and began the livery business at Navasota
in 1870, continuing there three years al)d moving his business to Brenhamin 1873, where
it was conductedsuccessflJllyfor a period of nine years. He then moved to Bosque county
and engaged in thesheepbusinessJorthreeyears, but finding it neither profitable or
pleasant, . his.. old i love. for. horses ...re-asserteditselfand he came to Bryan and again
engaged in the livery business in 1885, and for ten years has constantly increased the
quality of his service and the volume of histrade. He has a large, airy stable and the best
horses andnoblestturnouts in Bryan.H.e keeps posted on all the improvements in his line
and applies them directlytohisbusin~~s..lnaddition,he.isthe best equipped undertaker
in. the county and does thelargestblJsiness in this line, being prepared to do modern
embalmihg .successfully.
Mr. PARKS was married September, 1869, to Miss Helen GARRETT of Brenham, and
he has five children. He is a member oUhe Baptist church,a democrat, and affiliates with

Mr. PARSONS opened business here a little over a year ago, and the liberal patronage
